Relevant segment of your MWE:

% Draw the links between forces
\path[->,thick,red]
([xshift=-3mm] substitutes.south east) edge ([xshift=-3mm] rivalry.north east)
    (users) edge (rivalry)
    (suppliers) edge (rivalry)
([xshift=-3mm] rivalry.south east) edge ([xshift=-3mm] entrants.north east)
    (entrants) edge (comment-rivalry)
     ;

You can change the arrows shift from right edge as you wish.
