Answer:

Brook's law

Explanation:

Brook's law postulates that adding manpower late to a software  project increases the time of project completion rather than shorten it. This law was postulated by Fred Brooks in  The Mythical Man-Month.

Adding new personnel to a project takes the attention of other personnel from the project to training new personnel. This would increase the time for project completion. This is referred to as the ramp up time

As more manpower is added to the project, communication overhead increases. this increases the time for project completion as more time would be spent on communication rather than on carrying out the project

Goods or services in standard-cycle markets reflect: a. numerous first-mover advantages. b. organizations that serve a mass mark
kogti [31]

Answer:

Option b.

In standard cycle, competitive actions are designed to serve large market shares, to gain customer loyalty and to control the firm's operations which in turn provide the same positive experience to customers.

Goods or services in standard-cycle markets reflect <u>organizations that serve a mass market.</u>

Standard-cycle markets refer to the markets where the firm's competitive advantages are shielded from imitation such that those advantages can be sustained longer but for a shorter period.

These advantages can be sustained for longer period in a slow-cycle market  than in fast-cycle markets.

Competitive advantages are sustainable in slow-cycle as these are shielded from imitation for longer periods of time such that imitation is costly.

Option b. is correct
