Q1. Use the Porter’s National Diamond Framework to assess the power industry in Russia. Land, location, natural resources, labour and population are the determinants in the competitive advantage of any industry in a particular country. The Porter’s National Diamond Framework uses a more proactive approach in considering the factors such as: * The firm strategy, structure and rivalry * Demand conditions for products * Related supporting industries * Factor conditions The Diamond

thermal energy, solar powered cars and calculators. Solar power is energy received directly from the sun, later converted into other forms of energy. It is perhaps the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy resource available. The simplest answer to the question, why I selected “solar energy” for my essay is that, it is the cheapest resource and the more important fact is that it will never terminate. It is currently being used to power solar cars, heaters and other important things but since

are coal, oil, natural gas, and biomass (such as wood). Other primary energy sources available include nuclear energy from radioactive substances, thermal energy stored in earth’s interior, and potential energy due to earth’s gravity. The major primary and secondary energy sources are shown in Figure 1.1 Primary energy sources are mostly converted in industrial utilities into secondary energy sources; for example coal, oil or gas converted into steam and electricity. Source Extraction Coal

but they do not compare to the impacts from the mining and use of coal. Coal mining can is responsible for destroying very large areas of land and even the removal of whole mountaintops. After the mining is complete, there is no more top soil and rain water seeps down to the sulfide minerals and create acid mine drainage that can seep into nearby streams (Berg and Hager 2009, pg. 420). Once the coal is mined, it is taken to plants to be burned for energy. During this process, dangerous pollutants
