A social media company updates its application with new features, which prove to be extremely unpopular and are eventually removed. Another technology company adopts one of the features for its new application, and within weeks of the first company's failure, the second company is successful in an emerging market

Which features of global culture are represented in this scenario?

(1 point)

The second company will serve as a hearth and share the economic benefits of its new product strategy with the first company.

The second transnational corporation eradicates local culture, substituting a new global culture in its place

Hierarchical diffusion allows the first transnational corporation to achieve greater profits while embracing local culture.

Relocation diffusion allows the companies to succeed because the compression of the space-time continuum allows people to travel often.
