The threat of new entrants into this industry is extremely high due to the low amount of capital needed to enter into the industry as compared to others. It allows companies such as Apple and Amazon, whose existing focus was not on the movie rental industry, to utilize their existing customer base and generate profits without a large initial investment.

According to many economists, continuous economic growth leads to greater prosperity for everyone, but because so many countries are trying to achieve the same exact thing, competition is harsh. These are some positive and negative perspectives that are caused by international trade. As you can see, the relationship between the three sources is that they are all based on trade. All around the world, different countries import and export goods to each other so they can benefit themselves with economic growth.
