In theory, Fnac would benefit from two advantages. The first one is called “free-riding” and refers to the economies realized by a later-moving company: indeed, a pioneer always has huge costs of R&D whereas a later-moving one can save around 65 % of such costs in average, simply because it is easier to copy than to create.

WASP about him and he knows it. He’s been probably been insulted or maybe harmed already. He does not want this to happen again. So he needs to display his nationality, to prove it, to show that he is American and must not be mistaken with a guy from Al-Qaeda or another terrorist.
