Developed by Michael E. Raynor, the Six Forces Model adds a sixth force, &amp;quot;Complementors,&amp;quot; to Porter's original five forces. The model helps organizations understand the factors affecting industry dynamics and competitive positioning, enabling them to formulate effective business strategies.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Complementors are products or services that enhance the value of the primary product or service when used together, such as software applications for a specific hardware platform. The presence of strong Complementors can increase the overall demand for the primary product, while a lack of Complementors may hinder its adoption.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
