        Sample Questions & Answers

        How does the firm adapt to lower demand during economic slowdowns?

        Many corporate customers cut outside expenses or delay major projects when profits are low. The revenue of many professional firms dropped during the late 2000s recession; particularly hard-hit were advertising, engineering, and IT services firms.

         

        How does the firm mitigate the risk that customers will sue?

        Because of the greater involvement of professional firms in the operations of corporate customers, firms face greater risk of blame or liability if their advice proves faulty. Customers are quicker to blame advisers, and regulators are more likely to...

          Competitive Landscape Brief

          Demand for agricultural chemicals depends mainly on demand for various crops, which in turn depends on crop prices. The profitability of individual companies is linked to efficient operations and marketing. Big producers have large economies of scale in production. Smaller companies can compete effectively by making specialty chemicals or fertilizer mixtures for local markets. The industry is capital-intensive: annual revenue per employee is about $1 million. International trade in fertilizers is large, because phosphate rock and potash are available in only a few countries. The high product value makes bulk shipping costs relatively unimportant. The relative cost of natural gas (for nitrogen fertilizers) has a large effect on trade. The US is usually a net importer of fertilizer, largely due to limited domestic supplies of nitrogen and potash. Canada, Trinidad and Tobago, and Russia are the leading sources of US fertilizer imports. The US is a net exporter of pesticides.
