Who said that the law of the jungle does not apply to business? Whether on defense or attack, the same principles are found within a market economy. As aggressive as the jungle, the market requires constant sacrifice.

-Expanding the range of services available to clients;
- Increase the range of options;
-Finding new uses for the product;
