《商务英语》 授课教案 2 6. the Five Year Plan 五年计划 7. The Role of Consumers in Markets Consumers too are certainly a major constraint on firms. In fact, it is ultimately consumers who effectively determine the way in which markets behave — whether they grow or decline and how fast they change. Consumers will even condition how quickly products are developed and improved in markets. How do they do this?

And this is true: on its own, your interest in John Lennon or Boyzone doesn’t count for much. However, expressed collectively, purchasing power is the most powerful force at work in any market. If people decide that John Lennon’s songs have begun to sound a little twee and Boyzone are a bit old, then the firms that produce and sell their CDs will focus their efforts upon other more popular or potentially more popular artists. 8. the change in the consumption of China is as follows: Consumers are given a better deal, thanks to: (1) increased production (2) rising income (3) market orientation policies (4) consumers’ role in the change V.
