Week 6 Reading Reflection



I love the diagram right at the beginning of the article.  I think that is spot on, in regards to how the business world works.  In todays retail world it almost, to me, that the bargaining power of the buyer far outweighs that of the seller.  With the internet and easy access to ads and everything loyalty is something that has seemed to fall by the wayside. On page 7 it speaks of substitutes in the market and I think we have become so oversaturated with substitutes that customer service now has to go to the extreme or a business will not be successful.  With all of the barriers of entry for a new business that already exist the oversaturation of substitutes makes it even worse.  Something that I would ask is if eliminating rivals is not always a good decision, what is best way to accelerate your business while not incurring too much attention from rivals?  Something else I would ask is, with the evolving world and technology can a business over use technology to the point where it is a turn off for customers?
