"I liked this book a lot relative to something most people would find dry and uninteresting. For anyone curious about how industries are structured and how that relates to the strategy they should adopt I would highly recommend this book.
The book is slightly dated by its mention of "microcomputers" along with other now extinct technologies and companies. However, the basic principal's still apply. If Michael Porter's work was not still relevant to managers and industry executives, business professors would not assign this text as reading in their courses.
For me, the most interesting part of this book was being able to relate my own companies' position in our industry to the characteristics Porter describes. Other portions of the book are less relevant and as a result less interesting. I would not recommend this book for casual reading."
"Read this book to develop my skills in how to think strategically about any industry. I always refer to my extensive notes on this as I examine any new market."
"Although this is quite an elder book, described principles and approaches can be easily applied to managerial practice. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in management."
