Abstract

Continuous analysis of the corporate environment is key to executives with a strategic approach to companies. However, analysing the company's environment can not only be relevant to the individual entity but can also provide valuable information to researchers and professionals looking at the industry and the trends that can be observed there. The author's research focus is on district heat suppliers. The purpose of this study is to measure the new aspects of district heat suppliers' industry specificities with the application of Porter's five forces analysis and to gather the factors that may affect the asset, financial and income position of companies.
