批評 
波特的論述與主張遭到一些學術人士批評，認為其邏輯辯證前後矛盾，另外也被人認為其結論缺乏實務經驗的支持，以及論述中所舉的產業案例有刻意挑選及潤飾之嫌。

在其顧問公司倒閉負債五億美元後質疑者的聲浪更是大幅成長，認為波特的理論性遠大於實用性，不過是象牙塔內的紙上談兵。《富比士》雜誌在2012年11月20日發表認為波特提出的「五力分析」，想要替企業架構出競爭進入障礙，只是在企業全球化的浪潮中國界消失了、知識淪為大宗商品，沒人能建立壟斷性障礙，目前勝出的企業像蘋果、亞馬遜等，都必須仰賴不斷創新來創造價值，其管理學理論在生產過剩的買方時代已經沒有意義，在高度全球競爭白熱化的時代，各公司需要細節面、針對其產業特化的極細部顧問服務，這些都需要特化型的專家長年研究，而非只懂理論的大學教授能勝任，不會再有企業想為了講述大概略方向戰略的建議而付顧問費。
