So in order to survive in the market firms should come with unique quality in their product so that they can get consumers inspite of having large number of rivals and also they have to produce effeciently and also we have to meet customer needs.

Decision makers - So decison play a important role. Decision have to be meade according to the demand , according to competition or according to the scenrio so that firms can fetch large benefits from the sale. So decison making is also a big challenge.

Risk management - Risk is from two sides from the supplier side and from the customer side. So you there is great involvement of risk to sell private goods because they have make lots of cost in making the product so if it is not ful filling customer need then it is no no use to incur so much of cost.

Cost of Public goods - It is usually high as this is for non profit motive and it involves large population so it has huge cost.

Valuation of Free rider - Valuation of free rider cannot be done , as how much they are benefitting we can not estimate that as it has characteristics of non excludable and non rival . so it is difficult to do valuation
