This week, the discussion board assignment is linked with the Chipotle case assignment you will be writing up. Because of this, it should help you with your case writeup. It will also assist you in seeing the connection between Industry Analysis and SWOT Analysis.
Prompt
For this week’s case, you are looking at Chipotle Mexican Grill and the fast food industry. For your discussion, I want you to choose one of Porter’s Five Forces and do an analysis of the strength of that force for the fast food industry. To emphasize, this is for the fast food industry (meaning it is not specific to Chipotle).
For your replies, I want you to specifically comment on someone’s analysis of different forces than you focused on. Replies can provide supporting information where you think another student accurately assessed the strength of a force or can provide information to support a contention that the force is stronger or weaker than the other student contended.
