Jason’s answer will not satisfy the investor as a potential investor may not accept the proposal for business without a formal analysis of the potentiality of a particular industry. Industrial analysis is important before starting a business in any kind of industry, therefore, this step cannot be overlooked. Jason is expected to complete a proper industry analysis for knowing the current competitors, bargaining power if the suppliers, bargaining power of the buyers, substitute products and threat of new entrants.
