1. I understand the Porter’s 5 Competitive Forces Model:

Porter’s model explains the five key forces that affect a company’s ability to compete in the market:

• Traditional competitors – Existing companies in the same industry.

• New market entrants – New companies entering the market, creating more competition.

• Substitute products and services – Other products or services that can replace yours.

• Customers – Their power to demand lower prices or better service.

• Suppliers – Their power to control prices or supply of materials.

2. I understand the internet’s impact on competitive advantage

1. I understand Cloud Computing:

Types of Cloud Services:

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Provides virtual hardware like servers and storage (e.g., Amazon Web Services).

• Software as a Service (SaaS): You use software online without installing it (e.g., Gmail, Microsoft 365).

• Platform as a Service (PaaS): Developers use it to build and test applications without worrying about the infrastructure (e.g., Google App Engine).

Cloud Components:

• Public Cloud: Services shared across many users, like Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud.

• Private Cloud: Used by one company only, usually for security and control.

• Hybrid Cloud: A mix of public and private cloud.

2. I understand Outsourcing:

Using external service providers to handle certain tasks because internal workers are too busy or lack specific skills.

3. I understand the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model:

This model considers all costs of owning or using a system, including extra charges for additional requests.

For example: If you ask for product instructions in another language, that may cost extra.
