On the other hand, tourism generates a high rate of employment in many countries

1 Explain the macro environmental factors that are relevant to the car industry. Identify the opportunities and threats that have been identified for this business sector. Identifying countries and products were potential growth is predicted and why. 2 The automobile industry is one of the sectors which was the most affected by the crisis. Its macro environment reveals the factors that it does not control, and brings to light opportunities and threats. However, various countries represent

generation inconvénient : there are few sites with sufficiently high tidal ranges ( 16 feet ) or flow velocities Tidal energy is produced through the use of tidal energy generators. These large underwater turbines are placed in areas with high tidal movements, and are designed to capture the kinetic motion of the ebbing and surging of ocean tides in order to produce electricity. Tidal power has great potential for future power and electricity generation because of the massive size of the oceans. These
