    Rivalry: IT to reduce your costs
    New entrants: sophisticated IT is expensive and slow to develop, so a barrier to entry
    Suppliers: use IT to find new suppliers and to reduce dependency on one or two
    Customers: use IT to build relationships with customers to reduce the chance that they will switch
    Substitutes: often come as a surprise. IT of little use in stopping new technology, but a company might use new technology to create its own substitute and to put pressure on the market.

    Forget Porter’s diamond for this time. As for the others, see what information is in the scenario. It it mentions the economy or technological change, you can use two out of the PESTEL categories (you don’t have to use them all). If it mentions how ruthless major customers are then you have a way in to talking about buyer pressure.

    Thank you Gromit, then depending on the scenario i do not need to discuss about and associate with all PESTLE and five forces.
