Governments in NIC (newly industrialized countries) have tried to lure TNC to their countries. One way they have done this is by keeping the land prices artificially low; this is so the TNC can build factories and other building for less money.

Department stores were not selling high quality luxury items but were able to promote an image of luxury. Hetherington, K. (2009) wrote that “The department store was not really a place designed for selling many genuine, high priced luxury items; rather, it was geared up to selling high volumes of cheaper goods and making a profit out of the economies of scale that came with selling lots of things at a small profit rather than a few things for a large profit.” In recent years department stores have become outdated as new shopping malls and retail parks have become the dominant figure in consumerism.
