== 批评 ==
波特的论述与主张遭到一些学术人士批评，认为其逻辑辩证前后矛盾，另外也被人认为其结论缺乏实务经验的支持，以及论述中所举的产业案例有刻意挑选及润饰之嫌。
在其顾问公司倒闭负债五亿美元后质疑者的声浪更是大幅成长，认为波特的理论性远大于实用性，不过是象牙塔内的纸上谈兵。《富比士》杂志在2012年11月20日发表认为波特提出的「五力分析」，想要替企业架构出竞争进入障碍，只是在企业全球化的浪潮中国界消失了、知识沦为大宗商品，没人能建立垄断性障碍，目前胜出的企业像苹果、亚马逊等，都必须仰赖不断创新来创造价值，其管理学理论在生产过剩的买方时代已经没有意义，在高度全球竞争白热化的时代，各公司需要细节面、针对其产业特化的极细部顾问服务，这些都需要特化型的专家长年研究，而非只懂理论的大学教授能胜任，不会再有企业想为了讲述大概略方向战略的建议而付顾问费。
