<u>Answer:</u>
A consumer product for which buyers will not accept a substitute, for which purchasers do not compare alternatives, and that is purchased infrequently and with extra effort on the buyer's part is a Specialty product.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A specialty product is a commodity that some customers will actively attempt to buy because of unprecedented features or adherence to a particular brand. Customers who endeavor specialty products know what they require and will consume time and attempt to take it.
Typically, these customers will not readily acquire replacement products. Some companies only market specialty products that promote other products in the market. Specialty products in this range are sold to request to consumers want to individualize what they previously have.
I think the correct answer to this would be:
“A health report showing eating pizza reduces stress”
<span>If health news about pizza reducing stress would come
out, people’s willingness to buy pizza would definitely increase. This is
because of the additional positive reinforcer, reducing stress, associated with
the great taste of pizza that people would definitely buy this.</span>
Answer: No it is not.
Explanation:
Uber by first establishing itself and then fighting regulators leaves itself open to attack around the world. This is because the Regulators have the power to keep adjusting the laws that govern Uber if they feel that Uber has an unfair advantage or if it's existence is detrimental to the society. Uber has been accused many times of various infractions such as Tax Evasions and being a conduit through which crime can be committed because it did not conduct proper background checks.
Going back to the issue of taxes, if the regulators feel that Uber may be avoiding taxes, they could impose laws that either cause an increase in Uber prices or remove them from a location which can have a native influence on Uber's bottomline.
This approach is not good because regulators do not like being fought and will try to ascert dominance. It is simply not viable and this has been proven with Uber's many suspensions around the world.
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
