Question

Which of the following does not help in determining whether a business thrives? Markets. Free enterprise. Competition. Lack of innovation.

Lack of innovation

Answer 2

Lack of innovation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any business is subject to certain market conditions that will determine its success, and the most important ones are:

• the markets at which they participate, e.g. size of the markets, niche products vs convenience, etc.
• free enterprise (free market economy) which allows private parties (producers and consumers) to allocate resources at their convenience, and much more efficiently than command economies.
• competition will limit your supplier power and increases the consumers' buying power. Generally the more competition, the harder it is to make economic profits.
