The government play major role in the marketing campaigns of the company. due to the political
issue the company is not allowed to operate into various countries. For instance, the China is
having one of the largest economies but due to the policy of the US government the China
authority do not allow Netflix to enter the Chinese marketplace. Another drawback for the
Netflix as per the rules and regulation of the government the integral content of the Netflix is

as international marketplace. The organisation is having the presence in more then 190 countries
that is huge. Along with that the effective focused of the company on innovation in technology is
one of the greatest strengths of the company. the organisation has millions of the potential
customer that contribute in the profit benefits of Netflix. Along with that the organisation is
having well skilled and educated employees that increase the productivity of the company

customers. Along with that the company has opportunity to increasing its value and chance to
generate the revenue or growth with the assistance of the advertisement. Along with that the
organisation can enhance the experience go the customer by providing the feature of tapping and

rate increase the chances of dependency on revenue (Manomenidis, Panagopoulou. and
Montgomery, 2019).
