“All of the plays (taming of the shrew, romeo and juliet and a midsummers night dream) we have read this
semester take up the issue of gender hierarchy and, more specifically, the question of men’s control over
women. In each play, one or more women disobey (or try to disobey) the men whom society dictates they

Questions you might want to consider include: What are the relationships between the women and the men
they (try to) disobey? What are the outcomes? If they are different, why? How does each play invite us to feel

Capital requirements are high in this industry and its hard for new companies to set up businesses with the same expenditures incurred by existing companies.

To tackle this problem, A2 milk can take focus on creating more differentiated products from the new entrant. This can help build a strong brand identification.
This factor determines to what consumers can choose between the products and services as businesses are price taker (My Accounting Course, 2019).
There are actually very few substitutes that are available because many milk industry have A1 and A2 milk together whereas A2 company only cater A2 milk contents. This means that the threat of substitute is low. Furthermore, A2 milk pricing is much cheaper than milk of high quality. This shows that consumers are not likely to change brands, causing the threat of substitute to be low. To sustain competitive advantage in this industry, A2 milk can further promote their products with more distinct products. Differentiating its products from other products by providing unique benefits to meet consumers needs.
This factor determines to what extend which buyers can influence the pricing of goods and services. When there are many buyers in the market, the competition low because consumers can go with t
