May decides to start a new clothing company. she is targeting those customers who want to be fashionable and trendy, yet different from everyone else. she sends out catalogs with a set of basic clothing styles and a long list of individual features (sleeve length, color, stitching detail, etc.) from which the consumer may select. may is using which targeting strategy?

Google started as one of many internet search engines, amazon started as an online book seller, and ebay began as a site where people could sell used personal items in auctions. these firms have grown to be so large and dominant that they are facing antitrust scrutiny from competition regulators in the us and elsewhere. did these online giants grow by fairly beating competition, or did they use unfair advantages? are there any clouds on the horizon for these firms -- could they face diseconomies of scale or diseconomies of scope as they continue to grow? if so, what factors may limit their continued growth?
