Seriously, he was in Montreal…I felt like telling him “Prof. Porter, I think it’s time to add a couple of forces to your 5, what do you think of that?”… and just watch his reaction 
ok back to the books…
dude, chuck norris knocked on my door this morning and told me that he was my father. i’m going to crush this test.
Hahahaha You should send him to Conan O’brien make a couple of clips outa that reunion 
i would have punched porter in his face and said how you like the forces of those FIVE fingers b**yaaa**tch!!

I would’ve done the same thing. I will my use my buyer power to put barrier in his arse which will be threat to his fking life. Bannis- he teaches in Harvard and lives close to porter. Go and stab him for inventing 5 stupid forces
It’s amazing how much anger there is in this thread!!!
Porter is the man, probably one of the easier topics and does not involve any calcs. Fabozzi I can understand
Yeah seriously. Lets take a vote - would you rather see a vignette on Porter or emerging markets valuation?? 'nuff said.
porter… no doubt… i had one professor 3 yrs ago in college who made us go over porters 5 forces for about half a semester… class after class on the bargaining power of this that or the other… lucky for me, we went over it so much it kind of stuck
Porter’s 5 is one of my favorite topics
“whats a porter?” I think its hit or miss… you either love it, or you start a thread about punching the guy in the face

We had to do some 2 month online simulation thing and choose a strategy which generated profits for our shareholders.
What did the 5 forces say to the face? SLAP!

Me and my team were managing a factory that made dishes. During the last quarter, I issued a shitload of a debt in order to buy back our stock and inflate the price. We ended in 2nd place, haha.
I am going to shove the five dollar footlong up hid arse. Freaking idiot.
I swear, this thread is cracking me up…looooooool But me too, I’d rather go for Porter vignette than Valuation in Emerging MArkets which is by far the part I hate most in Equity.
