Frameworks

Michael Porter has developed a series of frameworks to support the expanse of his research areas.

Value-Based Health Care Delivery

Restructuring of health care systems around the globe with the overarching goal of value for patients.

Drivers of Competitiveness

Competitiveness is the productivity with which a location (nation, state, city or region) uses its human, capital, and natural endowments to create value.

The Diamond Model

Successful economic development is a process of successive upgrading, in which the business environment improves to enable increasingly sophisticated ways of competing.

Clusters

A cluster is a geographic concentration of related companies, organizations, and institutions in a particular field that can be present in a region, state, or nation.

The Five Forces

A Five Forces analysis can help companies assess which industries to compete in—and how to position themselves for success.

Strategic Positioning

Strategic positioning reflects choices a company makes about the kind of value it will create and how that value will be created differently than rivals.

The Value Chain

A tool for disaggregating a company into its strategically relevant activities in order to focus on the sources of competitive advantage.

Creating Shared Value

Creating economic value in a way that also creates value for society by addressing its needs and challenges.
