- In response, China announced a 15.0% tariff on products such as coal and natural gas, as well as a 10.0% tariff on crude oil, agricultural machinery, pickup trucks, and large cars. The tariff executive orders indicate retaliatory tariffs could lead to further escalation in rates.

Positive Trends
The DOJ proposes Google breakup in latest tech antitrust action
- In August, Google was found guilty of operating as a monopoly and engaging in anti-competitive practices through the operation of its search engine business.
- In response to this ruling the Department of Justice (DOJ) has stated it will seek a breakup of Google’s business segments, among other similarly harsh penalties. While the actual penalty Google receives must be approved by the judge, the DOJ’s proposed penalties signal a zero-tolerance policy toward tech monopolies.
- During the last few years, the Federal government has significantly increased its enforcement actions against major technology companies in an effort to contest the high level of market share concentration in this sector.
- These actions include high-profile anti-trust lawsuits against Amazon, Apple, and Meta, in addition to the case against Google. Consequently, the results of these lawsuits could significantly affect the structure of a wide range of tech markets.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
Buyers benefit from the slow rate of regulatory change because the purchasing process is unlikely to change due to new policies.
High market share concentration hurts buyer power because it gives buyers fewer viable vendor options, reducing price competition.
Because video editing software publishers primarily rely on upstream providers of services and other software, they face little risk of input price shocks or service shutdowns due to upstream supply issues.
Low vendor risk in the video editing software market benefits buyers.
The United States is a net importer of computers, meaning it imports more computers than it exports. While lower manufacturing costs abroad drive down prices for imported computers, relying on imports can lead to potential shortages or price increases if there are supply chain disruptions due to geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, or global crises.

| KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Resolution Time |
|
Total resolution time Number of resolved tickets |
The average resolution time represents the average amount of time it takes to resolve a support ticket. The average resolution time can be used to determine a company’s support responsiveness. |
| Critical Bugs |
|
Number of bugs Frequency of bugs Severity of bugs |
In order for buyers to receive the full value of the software, the number and frequency of critical bugs that hinder the software’s functionality should be kept to a minimum. Suppliers should have protocols in place to swiftly remedy any critical bugs that occur and should keep buyers updated on the status of their progress. |
