Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The five-forces model maps the relationship among companies within an industry, highlighting how competitors, new entrants, suppliers, buyers, and substitute products affect profitability. It holds that firm performance is a function of its strategy, which is determined by industry factors that shape the corresponding pattern of competition. For example, an industry with few entry barriers, lots of accessible buyers, and an expanding supply of low-cost, powerful technologies tends to have many firms competing for profits. Think of, for example, cell phones, e-commerce, financial services, or entertainment. Conversely, an industry with high entry barriers, steep capital requirements, and extreme research and development standards tends to have few firms competing for profits. Think of, for example, the pharmaceutical, energy, aircraft, or automobile industries. In both types, the prevailing industry structure shapes an MNE's choices regarding research and innovation, product strategy, plant investment, pricing behavior, among others. These choices ultimately influence its performance.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
