One industry with an impact on both undergraduate and MBA students is textbook publishing. Traditional printed textbooks are being challenged on one hand by self-publishing firms offering very low prices for specific instructor materials, and on the other hand by a need to offer digital resources that substitute for printed materials.

Complicating factors for the publishers is the changing business model of renting textbooks (printed and electronic). U. S. university book rental was about 25 percent of student purchasing volume in 2015.50 Use the five forces model (with complements) to think through the various impacts such technology shifts may have on the textbook industry.
