These five forces shape competitive intensity. They are: • Rivalry among competitors in the industry; • Threat of new entrants; • Bargaining power of suppliers; • Bargaining power of buyers; and • Threat of substitute products. Below is the analysis: • Rivalry among Established Competitors: Medium Pressure o Currently, major shopping malls in Hong Kong are primarily managed and owned by a handful of Chinese landlords, including Sun Hung Kai Properties, Henderson Land, Wharf Holdings, Hysan Development, Sino Land, Hang Lung Properties, as well as a few British-backed landlords such as Hongkong Land and Swire Properties. o Retailer demand is focused on prime locations in urban areas rather than secondary streets. These most sought-after locations are top choices for both global and local retailers seeking a presence in the city.

I was going to observe the people at the medical place I go to with my Grandmother but I was not feeling well on Wednesday so my Aunt went with her. I did not know what I had, if I was getting a cold or if it was just allergies. Better safe than sorry. Since I did not go to the metical place I was going to observe my neighborhood, there is usually quite a few people out but this time there was not a lot so since I was feeling better on Friday, my sister and I went to the mall. We went to a store call JCPenney. This was Friday late afternoon. After that I asked if we could grab a snack and sit and observe people for this paper. Before I go into the details of the observation, I want to talk about culture. According to the texbook, it defines culture as “ideas and behaviors that are learned and transmitted. Nongenetic means of adaptation (Park,2014,pg12). With that being said, you can find all kinds of culture if you look hard enough and closely. I have noticed that different races have different cultures. But in my observation I did notices that one thing stayed the same. The respect of the elderly. It is good to see that in every culture they teach the respect of their elders. Also I noticed that this generation of younger children have to be told to say excuse me, thank you and please. All the races were about the same 2 with the no manners. I am not sure if it just here or if it is everywhere...

There are much closer ancestors but as famous as the old ones, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan built in 1867 is well known as it is a covered prolongation of the street with its shops, café and restaurants on two levels. The mall that we know nowadays was introduced by Victor Gruen, who designed the first famous modern mall, the indoor version of the traditional marketplace; it was an enclosed climate-controlled indoor mall in Minnesota in 1956. Since then malls have been around us and are now part of our culture. This paper will argue that malls play significant roles in suburban life. Some people believe that malls are destructive towards our life style. In some ways this is true. Malls do standardize the way of shopping by bringing all the wants and need of our society together but people forget that malls implements their own positive lifestyle. I will highlight three main arguments to demonstrate that malls represent well our culture and play a significant role in the suburban life. First by their design as there are nowadays not only places to shop but are artistic structures, secondly by the way they serve socials functions and finally that they provide a safe environment. Shopping malls are originally designed...
