El mercado, naturalmente. Los consumidores, al decidir si compran o no un producto; los inversionistas, al elegir en qué compañía invierten su dinero; y los competidores, al elevar el desempeño para aumentar su participación en el mercado y sus ganancias. Los parámetros de la participación en el mercado, la rentabilidad y los índices bursátiles señalan claramente quién tiene éxito y quién fracasa.
Le marché, bien entendu. Le marché, ce sont les consommateurs, qui décident ou non d’acheter tel produit ; les investisseurs, qui décident ou non de tabler sur une entreprise ; et les concurrents, qui entretiennent la course aux parts de marché et à la rentabilité. Les critères pour mesurer ces deux derniers aspects permettent, comme les indices boursiers, de discerner très facilement les acteurs qui réussissent et ceux qui ont plus de difficultés.
The market of course. Consumers in their choice to buy a product or not, investors in their choice to put their money in one company or another, and competitors who push the bar on performance for greater market share and profitability. Metrics of market share, profitability, and stock market index are straightforward in signaling who is successful and who is not.
