The purpose of this research paper is to describe an industry that you are interest in. Preferably an industry is one that you have already identified in MG 615 (managing the global economy) and it caters for the local and foreign markets. Your analysis will incorporate variables of the industry as described by Porter Five Forces Frame in chapter 1:

Entry Conditions

Power of Buyers

Power of Suppliers

Substitute/Complements

Rivalry

However, in this course, the five forces are re-framed (re-organized) along three classifications of the industry (see chapter 7) as follows in:

Structure (entry conditions, including buyers and sellers)

Conduct (how the power of the industry is affected its ability to set price above cost)

Performance (profit in the long run)

There is a causal relationship connecting Structure to conduct, and then to the performance of the industry.

Here, we need to show how one of the performance variables (dependent variable) is influenced by conduct and structure variables. Explain how each independent variable affects the dependent variable in your selected industry. Also, include a section about the performance of the industry in terms of foreign trade (next export).
