A framework used to analyze the competitive environment of a company. Here's a
detailed explanation of Facebook's Porter's Five Forces analysis:
1) Bargaining power of suppliers: Facebook has a strong bargaining power over its
suppliers because of its large user base and extensive reach. This allows Facebook to
negotiate favorable terms and conditions with its suppliers, such as advertisers and app
developers.
2) Bargaining power of buyers: The bargaining power of Facebook's buyers, primarily its
users, is moderate. While users have many social media platforms to choose from,
Facebook's large user base and extensive network effects make it difficult for users to
switch to other platforms.
3) Threat of new entrants: The threat of new entrants in the social media industry is
moderate. While it is relatively easy for new companies to enter the market, the high costs
associated with building and maintaining a large user base and network effects make it
difficult for new entrants to compete with established players like Facebook.

many other social media platforms available to users, Facebook's extensive network
effects and large user base make it difficult for substitutes to compete with Facebook's
offering.

weak. Facebook's large user base and extensive network effects make it difficult for
