The different distributors within a country are stronger with different market segments (hospitals, retail pharmacies, etc.) but also have substantial overlap. a.

- Back in the 1950s, General Motors (GM) was at its peak. It was widely viewed as a shining example of how a large company should be managed, and controlled three quarters of the US car market.As at 2020, GM remains the biggest automaker by sales in the US, but it controls less than 20% of the market. For consumers, this level of competition has been wonderful; the level of choice when it comes to buying and leasing. For GM, as well as other large carmakers, having to operate in this realm isn't always fun, but if pressed they'll admit that there's something distinctly American about the market being hyper-competitive — and they might even acknowledge that having Germans and Japanese brands to do battle against helps them to improve their own capabilities. a.

- Assume you are an engineer working for a chemical production company. You are on the technical team that is responsible for deciding what to do about the dangerous chemical that your company is using to produce its best-selling chemical product. Recent reports have just made known the dangers of this chemical, and the company now needs to decide how to proceed. There are several options to consider: stop producing the harmful product altogether and take a hit on total profits; continue to make the product and sell it, like nothing's wrong, since the federal government has not cracked down. You could also spend money and engineering efforts in R&D to develop a safe chemical that would take its place. There is no guarantee that this would happen any time soon, but the scientists think it is realistically possible. To make matters worse, your biggest competitor produces this harmful product off-shore and is not hampered by the US regulations.
