Question

Lobelia's Nursery and Garden Resource Center has long provided high-quality, typical types of seasonal bedding plants to customers in the Mobile, Alabama, metropolitan area. It has traditionally competed with the other plant nurseries within a 50-mile radius of Mobile. Recently, Lobelia has opened a branch in Fairfax, Virginia. Lobelia's research shows that most Fairfax nurseries have only one location. Lobelia can expect the local Fairfax nurseries to __________.

Answer 1

Lobelia can expect the local Fairfax nurseries to respond aggressively because of high market dependence

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario Lobelia can expect the local Fairfax nurseries to respond aggressively because of high market dependence. This high market dependency means that the Fairfax nursery has all the demand from the area since there are no competing companies around, but since Lobelia opened a competing store then they will most likely respond aggressively in order to maintain their customers.
