Answer:

Rivalry between competitors
Bargaining power of suppliers
Bargaining power of customers
Threat of new competitors

Explanation:

The factors chosen to identify whether or not a sector presents a good business opportunity for a company, were the strengths of Porter, who analyzes the micro and macro environment to determine whether a company can be competitive in the market.

The rivalry between competitors is an essential factor to measure the degree of opportunity for a business to be successful, as this factor will determine different variables among competitors of similar products in the market, such as the strength of the brand, the demand for your product, etc. in order to measure how this factor will directly impact your business.

The bargaining power of suppliers implies the bargaining power of the supplier with the company, being able to provide favorable or unfavorable conditions to a business, such as price, delivery time, quality, etc.

The bargaining power of buyers means measuring and monitoring how your product will have a positive or negative weight on the customer and which affects the volume of purchases, the possibility of the customer negotiating with the company, etc.

And the threat of new competitors concerns new competitors that can enter the market and directly impact their business, for this the barriers to entry such as legislation, high entry capital, etc. should be analyzed.

Suppose Charlene Brewster has timesâ (in seconds) of 8.5â, 8.5â, 8.3â, 8.6â, 8.7â, 8.4 and a performance rating of 85â%.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

1. 10s

2. Slower than normal

Explanation:

1. To calculate the normal time, we first take the average of Charlene's observed times:

Average of Charlene's observed time = $\frac{(8.5+8.5+8.3+8.6+8.7+8.4)}{6}$ = 8.5s

Her normal time is therefore: $\frac{Average of Charlene's observed time}{performance rating}$ = $\frac{8.5}{0.85}$ = 10s

2. Since no of Charlene's observed time is higher than normal time of 10s, we can therefore conclude that her work perfomance should be rated as slower than normal.

A purely domestic firm sources its products, sells its products, and raises its funds domestically

Yanka [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

A purely domestic firm can face competition from an MNC. An MNC has the advantage of more than one sources of inputs and more than one product market. But the domestic firm also possesses an advantage of having a thorough knowledge of the local market as they have operated there unlike MNCs.

The domestic even though operating in the domestic territories may still face foreign exchange risk. This is because their competitors may be operating internationally.
