Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instruction, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. 12a. DISTRIBUTION / AVAILABILITY STATEMENTApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited 12b. DISTRIBUTION CODE ABSTRACT (maximum 200 words)The purpose of this Master of Business Administration (MBA) project is to perform an industry analysis of the MBA market utilizing the principles of industry analysis noted in Michael Porter's "Five Forces Analysis" model. The intent of this project is to create an awareness of how these competitive forces: shape the MBA market, define the relationships between stakeholders within the market, and affect the overall attractiveness of the MBA market. The goal is to provide GSBPP policy makers a tool to assist in the understanding of the industry environment and the development of a sustainable competitive position for the GSBPP.The authors believe the GSBPP can benefit greatly from this knowledge. The starting point of this project was to perform a comprehensive search and analysis of secondary resources for data concerning the nature of competition, incentives of buyers (students and employers/recruiters) and sellers (faculty), and threat of substitutes within the MBA market. It is noted that the nature of competition is a critical force affecting the MBA market, as an MBA program's reputation drives almost all aspects of its strategy.Full understanding of these market forces should help enable the GSBPP to aptly compete in this market.
