The ability and business functions of an organisation mainly influenced through the threat of new entrants, the organizations have to make effective business actions or processes or products and services so that any new company faces severe barrier to enter in the market (Baines, et al 2011). If the establishment of new organisation in a business environment is easy, any new company can open their shops very easily. Furthermore, when the market rules and regulations are easy and friendly for the organisation to open the business outlets.

culture of slavery and is thus the most flagrant violator of the true Christian ideals that are expressed by Douglass. Again, it is necessary to go back to the idea stated earlier that the very existence of slavery tends to breed anti-Christian actions and thoughts (at least according to Douglass). The case of Covey points to the fact that this really is the case since he is an overseer and is thus more in the thick of slavery than some of the other characters. When discussing Covey, Douglass makes certain to point out how his version of Christianity versus that of Mr. Covey differs completely. For instance, Douglass’ ideals (and the antithesis of them) are expressed in the Appendix when Douglass states, “I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial

Jonathan Swifts A Modest Proposal and Candide, by Voltaire are the two parodies that ridicule man and society. The messages in these parodies are both gone for a similar kind of group of onlookers, the privileged society. In A Modest Proposal, Swift expounds on a conceivable answer for Irelands destitution and over populace. His work was pointed towards the English, grumbling of their abuse. He assaults the English for conservative issues of Ireland by proposing a detailed arrangement to utilize the gross measure of kids as nourishment. He, as storyteller makes this proposition in such a tone a peruser with next to no training may consider him important, which was not the goal for the piece. His mockery is intended to disparage the English
According to Kotler, Adam, Brown & Armstrong (Kotler et al., 2006), the increasing use of market segmentation, market targeting and product specialization has resulted in a greater need for stores that focus on specific products and segments.

If competition increases, price can decrease. In another words, substitution is available. Buyers would face no uncertainty when switching to different product. Substitutes satisfy price and value.

In the Old Testament of the Bible and in twentieth-century America, liberation from suppression and inequality, and the expedition of adamant people towards independence and equality prevail. At the forefront of these political, cultural, and social movements are Moses and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Both men have left lasting imprints on history. In Exodus and continued in Deuteronomy, through the leadership of Moses and his counsel of God, Moses frees the persecuted Hebrews from their enslavement to the Egyptians, and delivers them to the Promised Land. Similarly, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. successfully leads the Civil Rights movement to free the subjugated African Americans of racial inequality, and deliver them to the Promised Land where there is freedom for all. The Old Testament Prophet, Moses, and the modern day Prophet, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., are comparable through their leadership which is evident in their devotion to their respective people, causes, and God.
The threat of new entrants is high in the fast segment. There is a threat of new entrants is because the entry barriers are very low. The business barriers to entry the market could take those forms: first one is the capital costs, the higher the investment required, the less the threat from new entrants. Secondly, regulation and legal constraints are the main concerned points. In most industries, regulations related to health and safety, products handling, and licenses to operate, export, or install new facilities.
