问题如下:
2. Which of the reasons given by Santos most likely justifies a reduction in Phoneutria’s forecasted growth rate?
选项:
A.Reason 1 only
B.Reason 2 only
C.Both Reason 1 and Reason 2
解释:
C is correct.
Increased competition for successful firms can cause a regression to the mean of a company’s growth rate. Expiring and weakening intellectual property and franchise agreements can also reduce potential growth.
reason2中,专利保护是有期限的,过了期限就不保护专利,这个我理解。
那franchise agreement也是同样的理解吗?
