Explanation:
As per Michael Porter, there exist five competitive forces that influence competition in an industry. The five forces as per Porter are:
- Potential entrants
- Industry competitors
- Customers
- Substitutes
- Suppliers
Potential entrants refers to the risk of new entrants in the market.
Industry competitors refers to the extent of rivalry and competition between existing firms.
Customers relate to the negotiating or bargaining power of the customers and to what extent they exercise such power.
Substitutes refer to the emergence of substitute products in the market which may drive down a firm's sales.
Suppliers relate to the bargaining power exercised by suppliers with respect to inputs.
Answer:
E) Congressional incumbents
Explanation:
PAC money is directed primarily toward congressional incumbents, and this can easily be verified on the web. For example, both Nancy Pelosi, a democrat, and Brian Fritzpatrick, a republican, are among the top incumbents by number of money received from PACs, thus, party affiliation is not as important as it is incumbent status.
This is probably because incumbents are more likely to win elections, whether in the senate, the house, or even, the presidency.
