	Porter 5 forces analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael Porter's 1979 framework uses concepts developed in IO economics to derive 5 forces that determine the attractiveness of a market.
		Porter referred to these forces as the microenvironment, to contrast it with the more general term macroenvironment.
		Kevin Coyne and Somu Subramaniam have stated that three dubious assumptions underlie the five forces: that buyers, competitors, and suppliers are unrelated and do not interact and collude; that the source of value is structural advantage (creating barriers to entry); and that uncertainty is low, allowing participants in a market to plan for others behavior.

	Michael Porter v. City of Manchester & a.
		Porter shared his concerns about how Lafond was frequently absent from the office, discouraged caseworkers from reporting client welfare fraud, discouraged caseworkers from reporting public safety threats, and asked caseworkers, during the workday, to fill in at a nonprofit homeless shelter (where Lafond sat on the board of directors).
		According to Porter, however, the only portion of his press release that was published in the newspaper described an incident in which Lafond asked a department employee to accompany her to Worcester, Massachusetts to adopt a dog during the workday.
		While Porter was on leave, Lafond told her employees that human resources had "intervened and removed" him and that Porter’s leave "was permanent and that he wasn’t to have contact with [the] staff." At trial, Lafond claimed that she was simply relaying information that Hobson had given her regarding Porter’s leave.
