To measure the strength of the forces that define the structure of the industry, cluster analysis will be used. This entails organizing variables and their relationships in measuring the extent to which they are related in describing a particular factor/force, which will then be used to describe the structure of the industry. Variables defining a particular factor/force will be grouped into clusters and used to measure the strength of the factor/force. The strength of a factor/force will be measured by way of mean scores of each of the variables describing the factor/force. Analyzed data will be presented in tables to summarize the findings.
