b. DatAnalysis

c. Company’s website https://thego2people.com.au

This part of your answer must not exceed 1 page.

B.  Industry Characteristics

Required: (20 Marks)

Using the case company, assess the competitive forces in the industry. Do those forces explain why the organization has succeeded? What is your assessment of its future profitability based on your predictions for the competitive forces in the industry?

General Guidelines:

1. Please apply the Porter five forces in addressing the above question.

Hint: The focus here is the industry. A good start is to compare the case company with a close competitor and provide comparison and contrast.

Use only the industry classification supplied by the stock exchange for your discussion (do not be distracted by other activities/industries in which the company may be involved). In addition, you can use the industry classification provided by the ORBIS or DatAnalysis databases. Where the company operates in a fairly broad industry classification, such as retail, search the sub-categories for a segment of that industry that fits the company and focus your analysis of the industry on that segment only.

Your answer should clearly reflect the research you have conducted. Do not theorize (writing directly from the text) or generalize.
