marketing strategies. In order to achieve the goals, the company will need to develop aggressive external forces . The company will face challenges, such as rising production cost that may affect their customer base and the company profit. The industry, indicates that IBM would impact our economy in very positive strong way were it contributed lots of products to all electronics retailer. Michael Porter’s main force is to analyze the necessary framework of five points. The five Forces include:
United States government and we're sorry but we cannot let you continue to run your business.

problem including predictions on how it will impact our society. This problem can be traced back to approximately forty years ago, when programmers in the fledging computer industry made a fateful decision to save memory and space by recording year dates with only two digits.

As a result, this technological glitch may cause compute... ... middle of paper ... ...other
