A company that recently lost patent protection for a product may see an increased threat from which​ forces? g

Business
1 answer:
Ray Of Light [21]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  • Threat of Substitutes
  • Threat of New entrants/ Competitors

Explanation:

This question relates to Porter's five forces.

A patent on a good protects that good from being able to be copied or produced by other companies.

Should a company lose this protection, companies will be allowed to make substitutes to the products without running afoul of the law. The company will therefore face an increased threat from Substitutes.

Other companies will also be able to produce the goods or offer the services now which would mean that new entrants/ competitors can come into the market for that good or service.

What is one example of a planned economy?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

socialist economy

Explanation:

A planned economy is a system where the government or the central authority makes all major economic decisions. The government decides on the type and quantities of goods to produce and for whom to produce. In the planned economy, factors of production belong to the government. Manufacture of goods and services is motivated by service to the community, not profits.

A socialist economy is a good example of a planned economy. Just like in a planned economy, a socialist economy is characterized by heavy government involvement. The state controls the factors of production. Public service is the reason for economic production, while consumers do not have the liberty to choose products.
