Abstract

With virtually everything going international, globalization has become an inevitable concept.

Women bachelor graduates are becoming more and more accomplished than their male counterpart. This ...

A marketplace where companies run their operations and sell products and services is very competitive. Michael Porter was among the first ones to study how to build a competitive advantage. Porter claims that “fundamental basis of above-average performance in the long run is sustainable competitive advantage.” (Porter, 1985) Within this framework he identified three primary strategies for achieving competitive advantage: cost leadership, differentiation and focus.
