Changing customer tastes.
Shorter product life cycles: marketers use different strategies at different stages of a product’s life cycle. If successful, sales are strong during the introduction and growth stages.
Internet and mobile technologies: e-commerce has increased the choices available to customers therefore increasing transparency.
Competitive rivalry: competitors may initiate marketing strategies that threaten profitability and survival of other companies.
Globalisation: globalisation has made companies more interdependent with consumer tastes more integrated.
