Additional Writing and Content Tips
1. All paragraphs must be indented.
2. Three or more sentences are needed for a paragraph.
3. Never end any paragraph with a quote. Explain the purpose of the quote.
4. Remember to seldomly use quotes? Instead, explain information in your own words and
provide in-text citations to justify your rationale.
5. When providing quotes, please follow this format, as it is APA complianta. ?This is a quote that I am writing as a sample? (Claus, 2022, p. 1).

c. Claus (2021) stated, ?This is a quote that I am writing as a sample? (p. 1).
i. With any quote you need to include the author?s or authors? last name(s),
the date in which the document was published, and the page or paragraph
in which the quote is located. Please note, if you?re using a quote from a
website resource, it is very likely that you will need to count from the top
of the document and determine which paragraph the quote is located in.
6. Use et al. when there are three or more authors.
a. Instead of writing, ?Claus, Smith, and Lopez (2022) wrote?? state ?Claus et al.
(2022) wrote??
7. All sentences must have a subject and a verb.
8. Stray away from using words like, ?this? or ?that? or ?it? or ?they? or ?he? or ?she? and
define your subject.
a. Problematic Example: This process is helpful because individuals know what to
expect during the performance review.

10. Use your Northouse (2022) textbook! Always use your textbook, at least once in your
document, when submitting any Critical Thinking Assignment.
11. Proofread! If you struggle with writing, get a friend or colleague or family member to
read what you plan to submit.
12. Check your similarity score! SEU?s policies related to plagiarism are very specific.
Familiarize yourself with these policies and ensure that you are NOT plagiarizing.
a. Tip: A SafeAssign score of over 30%, excluding your references, is likely going
to be an issue.
13. Read! Ensure that you read the Assignment Directions and also comply with the Rubric
requirements.
14. Apply past feedback! I will notice if you continue to make document mistakes but don?t
apply my feedback. Students who do the best in my courses ask questions, are engaged,
and make a conscious effort to continuously improve.
15. Ask questions! If you don?t understand the assignment requirements, please ask me
before submitting your work. Once your work is submitted, you do not have the
opportunity to resubmit. Please do not even ask about resubmitting work, because my
answer, as aligned with SEU?s policies, will be ?No.?

16. Reduce the number of quotes that you use! If you decide to use a quote, I recommend that
only ONE or TWO quotes are used throughout your document. Also, your quotes should
not be longer than ONE to THREE sentences.
17. Content is KEY! While writing is important, your thoughts, ideas, research, etc. account
for the largest percentage of your Critical Thinking Assignment point allotment value.
Therefore, focus on developing content, justifying your ideas with in-text citations, using
quality and scholarly resources, etc.
a. In addition to using your textbook and SEU?s Library, I also recommend using
some of these resources: Forbes, Harvard Business Review, the Society for
Human Resource Management (SHRM), governmental websites, etc.

Figure 1 Structural Determinants of five forces of competition for Taco bell
1. Threat of New Entrant: High
4
IndentFast food industry is growing rapidly with a huge success which is attracting other firms to
enter the market. The threat of new entrants is continuously increasing, which is causing a
pressure on existing firms by eroding the profitability and reducing customers (Mhlanga, 2018).
Taco Bell is trying to overcome the problem by offering various ranges of high-quality products
at a reasonable price. Capital expenditure for Taco Bell in 2019 was $3,500,000, which is higher
than competitors like KFC. The firm captures 59% of the market share within the industry and is
penetrating in new geographical boundaries to expand the market.
2. Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Low
IndentSuppliers have the tendency to charge high price from well-established companies for
supplying quality products. This also causes a threat for company as it increases the cost of
production (Matoshi & Veseli, 2017). However, Taco Bell overcomes the problem by maintaining a
healthy relation with the suppliers and providing timely payments. It can create competition
through bids to vendors.
3. Bargaining Power of Customers: Moderate Risk
IndentCustomers often try to bargain the price of the products with a view to reduce it. But this
depends on the number of potential customers a company is having and the switching cost of
buyers. Customers are price sensitive and, with the availability of vast options, they are likely to
switch within the industry. Since Taco Bell has a huge number of potential customers, it can
easily overcome this threat. They offer Mexican food through their restaurant that provides an
advantage within the industry.
4. Threat of New Substitute: High
5
IndentAvailability of substitute in the market increases the competition as buyers switch from
one firm to the other with a little change in price. In fast food industry, there are huge substitutes
which have increased the competition that every restaurant like Taco Bell has to face, like KFC,
McDonald, Burger King and Starbucks. This leads to contraction of profit availability within the
industry.
5. Rivalry among Existing Firms: High
Fast-food industry faces an intense competition among its existing firms because of their
potentiality. The competitors of Taco Bell are McDonald?s, Chipotle Mexican Grill, etc., which
gives tough competition to Taco Bell (Juutila, 2019). However, Taco Bell overcomes it by
providing various offers, discounts to its customers along with a soothing environment which
attracts customers. Intense rivalry exists as advertising campaigns, frequent price cutting, and
introduction of new products.

While you have put work into this analysis of Taco Bell unfortunately you needed an industry
like the Fast Food industry where Taco Bell would be a part of . Let me know if you don?t
understand the assignments or not sure ? or ask your campus instructor OK.

Figure 2: Structural Determinants of five forces of competition for Walt Disney
1. Competitive Rivalry: High
IndentThe external factors that give Disney strong competition are several firms in the market,
which gives a tough competition to Walt Disney. The aggressive companies that produce
animated films of high quality also give competition to Disney?s Pixar Animation Studio. The
strategy of differentiation also contributes to rivalry, but only moderately. These factors state
Disney faces a strong competition from its rivals (Yang, 2019). Firms that cannot compete with
7
Walt Disney have to exit market because of high competition, financial strain and insolvency
position (Snyman & Gilliard, 2019).
2. Bargaining power of the customers: High
The factors like low switching cost, which makes it easy for the customers to switch from one
provider to the other, give the customers an upper hand. The sensitivity of price and the
availability of substitutes intensify the power of the customers in the business environment.
Thus, for Disney, these factors give the consumers a high power and ability to choose from
different firms and products and thus increase their bargaining power.
3. Bargaining power of the supplier: Low
The effect of the bargaining power of suppliers is weak in Disney. This is because of the there is
a large availability and variety of suppliers in the market and the overall supply by them is also
large (Snyman & Gilliard, 2019). The number and variety of suppliers and their supplies have an
inverse effect on the company. These factors state the weakness of suppliers over Disney. But
this situation is always changing based on the trends of the environment in which an industry
operates (Barbosa, 2020).
4. Threat of substitute: Moderate
The availability of substitutes increases the threat to Disney. The price-to-performance ratio of
the substitutes and the availability of a variety of substitute pose a threat to Disney. However, the
threat provided by these factors is not strong, but moderate. Disney must use strategies to
enhance their quality and performance in order to attract the customers away from substitutes.

5.
Threat of New Entry in the market: Weak
Walt Disney must consider the possibility of new entries and their impact on the market. The
switching cost is low, thus it is easy for customers to switch from one to another. The cost of
capital required by a new entrant to enter the market and the cost of developing an image for
their brand is considerably high. Thus, these high costs act as a barrier to new entrant in the
market. Thus, Walt Disney faces a minor and weak threat from the entry of new firms in the
market (Raj et al., 2020). However, the firm has faced a legal barriers because of unfair
compensation to its employees. They were accused of selling them at a higher margin by
exploiting their employees. Other legal issues include child labor, stereotypes, sexism and
plagiarism.
For this question I need to see you provide a graphic representation of Porter?s Five Forces
framework with a graphic representation, like Figure 3.3, (p.65), and a written explanation in
relation to the Five Forces for two industries that you have chosen to analyze. I needed to see a
better explanation of the Five Forces for 2 industries.
Here you needed to use the results from Porter?s Five Forces framework to explain the reasons
why profitability is what it is in the two different industries expressed as high, intermediate, or
low. I don?t see that you have provided this information.
Here you needed to explain the structural features of industries that generated either high or low
profitability. . I don?t see information for these questions.
Finally, I needed to see you discuss how these structural changes are likely to impact competition
and profitability for the two industries? Then, is this industry attractive for investment? Why or
why not? I don?t see that you have provided this information.

I needed to see that you are responding to the questions in the assignment that you are being
graded on.
Conclusion
IndentPorter?s 5 Force are used to analyze the external environment of Taco bell and Walt
Disney. These tools help in evaluating the external opportunity and threat in the macroenvironment of the firms. It is seen that Disney faces threat and opportunity from technological
trends and socio-cultural trends. The company must optimize its position for long-term stability.
Some external factors like mass media and entertainment industry provide competition that
Disney must look out for. Disney has a high threat in the industry that can hamper the profit level
in the future. While, Taco bell has an advantage in the fast-food restaurant industry because of its
Mexican food offering, strong market position and loyal customer relation. Thus, investors can
consider investing in Taco Bell to uncover stocks to assess its long-term value based on its
position within the industry.
As a reminder, I needed to see that you are responding to the questions in the assignment that
you are being graded on. Remember you are not just writing about the topic you are specifically
responding to the questions in the assignment. I need to be able to tell that you are in order to
grade you. Please use headings for that. Make sure your comments have depth and examples and
demonstrate what you learned from the content. Please review the comments and use them for
improvement of your next assignment. Let me know if you have questions. Dr. Cindy
