This study determined the relationship between the application of Porter's five forces on the competitive advantage of the motorcycle industry. The research used a descriptive-correlational research design and a purposive sampling technique. The data were gathered from one hundred twenty-five (125) top and middle-level managers of motorcycle dealers. The level of the application of Porter's five forces of motorcycle dealers in terms of the bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of customers, existence of substitutes, threats of new entrants, and competitive rivalry in the industry is high. Moreover, the level of competitive advantage of motorcycle dealers in terms of financial and non-financial aspects is also high. The findings indicate that the variables have a significant relationship, which means that when the level of the application of Porter's five forces increases, the level of competitive advantage also increases.

The study measures competitive advantage through business flexibility and responsiveness. It employs a descriptive-correlational research design and a purposive sampling technique, intentionally selecting fifty employees from various food service establishments, including fast-food chains, restaurants, and cafes, as respondents. Data was gathered using a modified version of an existing questionnaire, which included sections on demographics, core competence, and competitive advantage. A five-point Likert scale was used to collect the responses. The study reveals that there was a high degree of core competence in the food service industry, in general. It also discovered that businesses in the food service sector frequently have a very high degree of competitive advantage. Further, the findings show a significant positive relationship between competitive advantage and core competency, underscoring the significance of empowerment, collaboration, and shared vision in fostering flexibility and responsiveness, consequently gaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace. These results suggest that for businesses in the food service sector to obtain a competitive edge, they should prioritize strengthening and expanding their core competencies. The study is important for workers, managers, owners of businesses, consumers, academic institutions, and upcoming researchers. However, this study may have certain limitations regarding its scope and objectives, as it was conducted within a specific context and time frame which may not encompass all possible scenarios or changes over an extended period. Thus, the result of this research should be interpreted within these limitations, and future research is recommended to validate and expand upon these results.
