    Goldman Sachs Industry Report

    The financial services industry is one of the most widespread and established industries in the global economy. All companies who have sales from the management of money for either individuals or institutions are included under this umbrella. In the United States alone, according to the Census Bureau 2007 industry report, it included 503,156 establishments, had approximately 6.6 million employees, and had revenues of 3.6 billion dollars. Financial services used to be a safe haven for conservative investors who thought the stocks provided higher than normal dividend yield, stable performance and revenues and some defense against volatility. Within the last decade however, the collapse of global financial economy due to the subprime market and derivatives market falling apart has led to more careful involvement in this industry. Moreover, greater regulation in both the U.S. and overseas has led to more controlled administration of many companies in this industry.…

    Report on Industry

    Barriers to Entry. Processes involved in the manufacture of soft drinks are standard in the industry; thus, knowledge needed to begin production is not complex and can easily be acquired. In addition, inputs used in the manufacture are commodity items (e.g. sugar, syrup, and fruit juices). Though the latter factors increase the susceptibility of companies to face new entrants, still, threats of entry by potential competitors are at a low degree. This is due to the fact that capital requirement to engage in such business is high. Funds required in production and distribution systems are extensive and necessary to be able to compete successfully. In addition, with these companies having stayed in the business for quite some time now, they have been able to successfully ride down the experience curve and have been able to achieve a certain degree of economies of scale, which contributed to their attainment of efficiency and productivity.…
