Entrepreneurship Case Netflix
For an exchange to take place there has to be five conditions that are met. The first one is that they must be at least two parties. In this case it would be the company Netflix and the customers. Second each party must have something that would be of value to the other party. Netflix has the DVDs that customers want to watch and the customers have money to pay for them. They also have DVDs that need to be returned to Netflix after watching them. Each party has to be capable of communication and delivery. Netflix has 34 strategically placed warehouses it uses to ship out the DVDs. They also have live operators to help out if there are any questions.
