Porter's Five Forces of Love



Michael Porter should be deified as the postmodern Venus. Little did he know that his breakthrough model would save millions, perhaps billions, of people from dire (or even fatal)solitude. My words of advice to my fellow single friends who are on the brink of falling into this pit of loneliness: study Porter's Five Forces.

Porter's five forces is the keystone of competitive analysis. According to his model, you can find your strategic position in the dating market by analyzing your suppliers, customers, substitutes, and new entrants. Enough said. Just look at the diagram. Save your love life.

I didnt realize that Porter's 5 forces can be used in the dating scene. And looking the method over at http://www.coursework4you.co.uk/porter.htm, I realized that it's really possible to apply porter's model in all aspects of life.
