Using advances in technology to maintain databases of customer information is more important for firms involved in mass marketin
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The statement is: False.

Explanation:

The difference between mass marketing and relationship marketing is that the first is used to attract large numbers of customers with a product that is not necessarily tailor-made for them. On the other hand, relationship marketing provides consumers with a good or service that matches their needs. Companies implementing this approach are likely to keep customers' information in a database to evaluate changes over time and to adapt to them.

Thus, maintaining databases thanks to the advance of technology is likely more useful for firms using relationship marketing.

Sweet Stuff Sugar Source ships product all over the world. Since the product it ships has a low value-to-weight ratio, transport
dedylja [7]

Answer:

a large percentage of the total cost

Explanation:

When a product has a high value to weight ratio it means it is expensive and the weight is light. For products with low value to cash ratio they are cheap but have large weight.

Low value to weight ratio goods are more expensive to transport and they do not make up the high transportation cost because they are also cheap.

In this scenario Sweet Stuff Sugar Source ships low value to weight goods all over the world. So their transportation cost will be high and it will make up a large percentage of total cost.

Markets always allocate resources in ways that meet ideal economic efficiency.
Virty [35]

Answer:

False. Markets can sometimes fail to reach efficiencies when there are externalities, public goods, monopoly, or serious information asymmetries

Explanation:

Invisible hand (effective allocation of resources in a laissez faire economy) sometimes works because when market function effectively and send correct price as signal of values (to society) to producers.

However, when goods can't be traded on markets (public goods) or its values are not correctly reflected on markets (externalities, information asymmetries) or competition is not ensured (monopoly), markets cannot ensure effective allocation of resources.
