...PRICE (3 pages) Celcom use price penetration strategy and psychological pricing when it comes to gain large market share and customer base. Celcom often offers new product from year to year that it is crucial to play around with the figures to either trick or attract customer to win over their preferences when selecting Telco Company. “With high availability of internets across the Malaysian globes, a price penetration strategy is advisable to enhance customer’s usage, and introducing the service. On the other hand, they would use that opportunity to increase price on improved products. Celcom should also be sensitive to the price elasticity of its product and overall consumer demand.” (Celcom Official Website, 2009) Penetration pricing is commonly used by utilities, especially phone and cable or satellite services, although it is sometimes found in competitive gas and electricity markets as well. Many home phone, cellphone, cable and satellite providers offer a discounted rate for a period of time, such as your first six months of service, to get you to switch to their service. After your discount period has ended, the price increases significantly, but the company hopes you have become used to its service and won't go through the trouble to change to a different company.

...1. Introduction The telecommunications sector in Malaysia has undergone significant physical and structural transformation in the past fifteen years. Between 1985 and 2000, the country’s telephone penetration rate rose by 540 per cent. Equally importantly, privatization and liberalization of the sector in the 1980s ushered in an era of regulatory reforms and competition in the sector. The market structure as well as the regulatory framework and institutions for the telecommunications sector continue to evolve. The real challenge lies in what to do after that – putting in place adequate regulatory framework and institutions that will ensure industry growth as well as protect consumer welfare. The on-going micro-regulatory reforms in the sector seek to fine-tune the regulatory mechanisms in the sector. This paper reviews the recent history and development of the telecommunications sector in Malaysia. Section 2 provides a brief historical account of the sector and the current structure of the sector. This is followed by a discussion on regulatory reforms in Section 3. Section 4 examines the impact of reforms in the telecommunications sector. Section 5 concludes by discussing the future policy agenda for the sector. 2. EVOLUTION OF INDUSTRY STRUCTURE 2.1. Physical Expansion The infrastructure sector plays a key role in Malaysia’s economic growth and development. The sector’s share of development expenditure in the various five-years plans implemented...

[8 marks] The article as reported by Andrew Clark indicates that the main cause of the sugar price increase in the global commodity market occurred due to a simultaneous drop in the overall supply of sugar by the world’s largest sugar producer, Brazil, alongside a change in the supply and demand of the world’s largest consumer of sugar, India. In the case of Brazil, the world’s largest sugar producer, the drop in the supply of sugar occurred due to a period of heavy rain, as well as the decision to channel a large portion of sugarcane, an input into the production of sugar, into another industry, ethanol fuel production, hence significantly reducing the availability of this input to sugar production. Figure 1.1 below illustrates S1 as the original supply curve of sugar, and S2 as the new supply curve of sugar which has shifted to the Left. This shift to the left is caused by a decrease in sugarcane supply, an important input to sugar production. The effect is an increase in the Price of sugar due to a decrease in the quantity...
