Paper For Above instruction

The struggling company I have chosen is Blockbuster LLC, once a dominant player in the video rental industry. The primary reasons for Blockbuster's decline include the failure to adapt to technological advancements and changing consumer preferences, particularly the rise of digital streaming services like Netflix. Blockbuster's business model was heavily reliant on physical stores and late fees, which became obsolete as consumers shifted towards more convenient online streaming options that offered instant access to a vast library of movies and TV shows. Additionally, the company's late response to the digital transformation, coupled with poor strategic decisions and an underestimation of market disruptors, accelerated its decline. The company's inability to innovate and embrace new technology ultimately led to its bankruptcy and disappearance from the entertainment industry landscape. This case exemplifies how failing to adapt to technological and consumer trend changes can result in a company's struggle and eventual downfall in a competitive marketplace.
