Greetings,

Hope you are well.

--Part 1: Consider the main advantage for competitive advantage is in product features in succeeding claims of superiority over market competitors. Therefore, the marketing initiatives are all geared towards reinforcing such brand features claims that succeeds in building the brand equity (that is vital for the company to sustaining long-term operations within the targeted marketplace). Try and think of the least effective measure by limited accessibility in connecting with the targeted audience or higher performance output, such as, the reduction in resources to properly marketing in extended markets. Basically, the types of information technologies should reflect upgraded internal database systems that accounts for productive processes to assist in business continuity.

Keep in mind, the most significant points of reference in five forces model is to evaluating bargaining power of suppliers in products necessary for keeping prices and cost down, while, the bargaining power of buyers offer an increase in brand identity long-term. By evaluating the threat of new entrants, the new product development of services either by using informational technologies offer strategic application towards maintaining threat of substitutes within an industry rivalry platform.

--Part 2: The various options in computer classification can range internally platform of an application or an embedded framework, such as, the following:

a) Interactive - an operating system that interacts with user / non user predesigned supply of commands by data applied within an application program.

b) Real Time - an operating system that centers on predefined set of time reference to executing applications, at times, the unpredictability factor is key in providing such tasks.

c) Network - try and think of the operating system with a direct connection to the main network with laying effects to intercepting commands for implementation in one point of reference and to network file server.

Aim in thinking the software types as two main types, as well; the system software for operating commands tasks successfully throughout the hardware components and the application software (try and think of third-party vendors software) to execute certain specification of tasks. By identity method, the generations of computer languages used depends on the programmable codes installed to interpret and read accordingly to execute the software's primary objectives. The changing languages of computers have grown to more specialization due to the faster processes to handling more complex commands, as in, the Adobe products or Apple Inc.
