<u>Answer:</u>
Financial statements are influenced by five important forces that determine a company's competitive intensity - True
<u>Explanation:</u>
Michael Porter’s five forces of rival(s) can be applied to monitor and investigate the competitive edifice of an industry by attending 5 forces of opposition that impact and form profit potential. Supplier power. An evaluation of how simple it is for suppliers to force up prices. Buyer power. An estimation of how accessible it is for buyers to push prices dropping.
Competitive rivalry. The principal driver is the quantity and ability of competitors in the market. The threat of substitution. Where close alternate goods endure in a market, it improves the likelihood of customers shifting to alternatives. The threat of new entry. Favorable markets bring new entrants, which decays profitability.

Critics of globalization claim that, as globalization increases, countries' sovereignty (the freedom of national officials to act locally and without externally imposed restrictions) is diminished because as some of them say 'it is an economic tsunami', in the sense that - people of other countries 'invade' a country in the name of globalization and the locals of that country are expected to curtail their local customs and individual behavior to accommodate the foreigners. Also foreigners take some of the jobs that are available in the country to the 'detriment' of the locals
Secondly, 'the resulting growth consistently benefits the environment', because the gains of migration are not shared commonly among the locals, rather they could be invested in environmental projects to boost Tourism and attract more foreigners.
