In this context, Benson and Ponton declare that while the chemical industry has made considerable achievements in reactor performance, safety and control, comparable to those in the microelectronics business, this success is by no means evident to the public, in deep contrast to the latter [139], It is said that this is mainly and in a way simply due to the visual recognition of chemical production plants.

The term place refers to where the business will be located, or more generally, what channels will be employed to get the product or service to customers. Companies selling software to the financial sector will do well to locate in New York, London, and other major financial capitals to be close to companies in then-market.
