Answer:

Modular network

Explanation:

Competitive advantage can be defined as conditions, factors or circumstances that allow a business firm (organization) to manufacture finished goods or services better and perhaps cheaper than other (rival) firms in the same industry. Thus, it's responsible for putting a business firm in a superior or more favorable position than rival firms.

This ultimately implies that, a competitive advantage has a significant impact on a business because it increases its level of sales, revenue generation and profit margin when compared to rival firms in the same industry.

In conclusion, competitive advantage is a feature that makes a customer to place a greater value on the product or service of a particular company than they do on similar products or services from its competitors (rivals) in the same industry.

In Business management, a modular network comprises of temporary arrangements among members that can be assembled and reassembled to meet the unending consumer demands and changing competitive environment. Thus, it avails businesses the opportunity to either assemble or reassemble parts depending on the work in process.

Brut [27]

Answer:

A. a goods trade deficit

Explanation:

The current account represent the trade balance (export less import) plus

the net income (person receiving interest, rent or wages from aboard less person and companies paying foreingers) and

the direct payment. ( remittances from wroker to US)

As the US is one of the most open-economies in the world the mayority of this deficit comes from import of good and services from aboard.

Another factor, is that US company invest around the world thus, the net income should be positive.
