Nike’s goal is to remain unique and different from others in terms of the items offered on the market. Arguably, Nike belongs to a monopolistically competitive market as there only a few organizations with the ability to regulate the amount charged for their product which means they cannot make their prices high as this is likely to make customers move on to other available choices (Nike, Inc., 2012). However, Nike can find a balance between the prices to charge for their products and remaining competitive with other companies in the industry. Nike has formed a distinction between the appearance and performance of their footwear and that of their competitors. Although products are differentiated from other companies, they still influence each other because they are items of the same

Competition in the past did everything it could to gain market share and penetrate new markets and would not stop or change expanding strategies because they felt sorry for the Swiss. Competitors will continue to do everything possible to expand markets, defending their existing markets, and fighting the Swiss from trying to enter existing or new markets. Competition will even try to compete with the Swiss on their world leadership in the high range price segments; and just like in the past if the Swiss were not ready for such competition, they will lose that leadership without a fight. Loses of such leadership in this segment will mean an end to the Swiss watch industry again.

The industry is flooded by competition, but no other competitor of Apple really focuses on creating great technical upport or brand loyalty. (Elliot, 2014)Apple’s primary focus is to develop innovative products and create a unique product that consumers can depend on the being the most highly anticipated technological device while offering great service and support for these new products. Apple uses business model innovation which introduces new products that are compatible with each other such as iTunes and the iPhone or ipod.

It is common knowledge that listening to music can be a very enjoyable experience, but what is not as well known is that listening to or playing music can actually boost endorphin levels (Turner 1). Modern science has made great strides in the field of Sound Therapy in recent history, and although Music has even been used to aid in the recovery of Surgery patients, there is a more effective method of Sound Therapy that has been largely overlooked (Murray 1). Known as Binaural Beats, this so called “digital drug” presents debatably positive new methods for rehabilitation and therapy; with the ability to alter brainwaves and synchronize neural frequency patterns, the substantial power of these Binaural Beats has evoked controversy as allegedly deleterious effects of these sound waves are examined (Kommando 2). Despite certain movements that have cast aspersions on the Binaural beat technology, they are still a viable, scientifically proven phenomenon; additionally, because the only materials necessary for binaural beat entrainment are a pair of headphones and source material such as a CD or computer program, binaural beat technology is very cost efficient. Summarily, Binaural Beats should be implemented as a means of cost efficient Sound Therapy in hospitals as a supplement to existing treatments in order to augment expediency, and any at possibly deleterious consequences are fear-mongering and fallacious.

Counterfeit products are another threat to Beats by Dr. Dre. These products are manufactured to look similar, if not exact, and sold at a lower cost yet come nowhere close to the sound quality Beats can offer. Counterfeit products impacts the company because it does not earn a profit and the consumers who purchase these product are left with faulty, unsatisfactory audio equipment. Another threat for Beats by Dr. Dre is any negative publicity. Beats are heavily endorsed by famous artists and celebrities in which any sort of bad publicity can negatively affect the Beats image and brand which will then directly affect sales. Consumers whose purchases are influenced by the famous artists, athletes and celebrities they idolize are an important consumer group. If an endorser chooses to no longer affiliate themselves with the company, nothing will stop the consumer from turning its back on the
