Netflix’s unique DVD rental service has revolutionized the industry. They successfully took the best of traditional conventions (like physical media, the U.S. Postal Service) and mixed them with new world internet-conventions. They have also effectively managed to discourage competition from both more established businesses and new entrants. The future growth of Netflix as it expands into streaming media, poses challenges in legal, infrastructure/technology, and through additional costs. In order to remain competitive, it is imperative that Netflix partner with companies with global reach to overcome these challenges. This presentation was part of an MBA class assignment to audit and industry in the the technology sector. The presentation has multiple authors listed on the title page.
