...on a well based argument making it viable as a profitable business venture. The evaluation on the American consumer to accept the high price for gas oil prices forms the first approach towards establishing a business. Gasoil businesses in the world run as cartel where it supply and prices are determined by the few stakeholders in the industry. The stakeholders form an agreement among their competitors on the price, making and, marketing of the product (Fredy, 2010). The cartel though the production affects the GDP growth rate. Gross domestic product represents the monetary value of the goods produced in the country within a year. The enterprise runs as an oligopoly. An oligopoly represents a business type where there are few sellers in the market. The few sellers are due to the restriction imposed on entry to a monopoly. The production rights are restricted by the producer and the producer also controls the prices of the commodity (Brake, 2011). Unemployment will be apparent as the restriction holds down people with the relevant skills to join in the trade. Price control is done through price fixing and determining the market share. The market shares will go a long way to influencing international trade. International trade represents trade past the nation boundaries (Derik, 2010) . The main purpose of a cartel is profit increment to the individual by reducing competition. Edgar by starting up the gas oil business will gain profit margin from the monopoly. The government...

...Innovative Companies 3 Innovative Solutions 4 Transferring Innovations 8 Success Factors 9 Conclusion 10 Self Evaluation 10 References 12 Executive Summary In order for Chrysler to be successful in a global market, they are going to have to shed the old ways of manufacturing cars and develop newer innovative ideas to compete in today’s economy. By implementing a new business plan, a knowledge sharing system and partnering with a design firm, Chrysler can become a dominant force in the auto industry, not just domestically but globally. The initial startup costs for implementing these innovations are quite high, yet the long term payoffs such as lower manufacturing costs, higher quality products, less waste, a variety of innovative designs, better supplier relationships, increased sales, profits, market share, and greater customer retention and loyalty, all support changing to a more innovative company. Introduction The target of this project was to find and research innovative methods to apply to a current existing company. Our team chose Chrysler to apply the innovations researched to help their company domestically and globally. With Fiat recently acquiring a 35% stake in Chrysler, it is necessary for Chrysler to focus on the global market to remain competitive in this day and age. This project takes an in-depth look at TaTa Motors business model, Toyota’s knowledge sharing system and BMW’s DesignWorksUSA design system and proposes ideas for implementing them...

...ethical banks (in this field specially called sustainability or green banks) as well as amongst many conventional banks that wish to appear more ethically oriented or that see switching to more environmental practices to be to their advantage. In general bankers “consider themselves to be in a relatively environmentally friendly industry (in terms of emissions and pollution). However, given their potential exposure to risk, they have been surprisingly slow to examine the environmental performance of their clients. A stated reason for this is that such an examination would ‘require interference’ with a client’s activities. While the desire to not meddle in the business of the client is valid, one could also note that banks are required to interfere in the business of their clients regularly to ensure that the clients’ business plan is viable before issuing them a loan. The kind of analysis that all banks partake in is termed a single bottom line analysis (this analysis only considers financial performance). It is arguable whether or not performing a triple bottom line analysis (an analysis that takes into account environmental, social, and financial performance) would be any more intrusive in case of banking sector. As far as internal ethics of banks are concerned, it starts with the well being of employees, employee and customer satisfaction, benefits, wages, unionization, fair sex and race representation, and the banks environmental standing....

... Comm 401, Section DD Individual MidtermStrategic Management Case Analysis –Tata Consulting ServicesMarch 3rd, 2016 | Concordia University John Molson School of business 1. Problem statement According to the case, in the fiscal year of 2007, TCS made revenue of 4.3 billion USD, and had three goals by 2010. It wanted to reach revenue of $10 billion, differentiate itself from Indian competitors, and target the industry’s global leaders. TCS understood that in order to remain India's largest IT service company and achieve it's "10 by 10" goal, it needed to enhance it's strategy and differentiate itself from other competitors domestically and globally. TCS therefore created the "Experience certainty" campaign. This growth strategy that is based on differentiation positions TCS as provider of operational excellence, relative to its Indian and global competitors. The challenge here is whether or not TCS is able to translate the strategy into an action plan. The problem with the promise of quality is that, it lies in the hands of TCS’employees. The CEO can promise all the quality he wishes, but if his employees are not working towards providing high quality services, the strategy would fail. So we ask, is TCS certain they can provide their clients with quality? 2. Internal Analysis Evaluation of current position In early 2001, TCS aspired to be one of the top 10 global IT services companies by 2010. By 2006, it had already achieved this goal and was ranked as...

Section II is a thorough analysis of economic implications for two popular VoIP services companies in the United States: Skype, Internet based software free to users who have a personal computer and Comcast, a telecommunications corporation that has become the leader in offering bundled services that includes VoIP. The discussion will revolve around the issue of regulation and deregulation of the service and the economic impact that it has on consumers and today’s market. Sections III & IV are a detailed comparison and contrast of the regulation and deregulation for the United States versus India, Canada and the Philippines and the affects of VoIP from an economic standpoint. This will be an analysis of the proponents and oppositions of regulation competitive value and how regulation is allowing states to make decisions and maintain control over VoIP. Section V is the conclusion that will answer the question as to whether or not it is better to regulate or let competition run its course. We take a stance on how the 1996 Telecommunications Acts is not the ideal prototype for regulating VoIP and why we feel that regulation and/or deregulation should be in the public interest. I.

...Executive summary In this paper, an attempt is made to delineate the deficiencies of the existing financial system in Bangladesh to cater to financing needs of SMEs or new potential entrepreneurs and a proposal has been given to develop the venture capital industry to meet financing and non-financing needs of SMEs. SMEs play a vital role within Bangladesh’s economy in terms of creation of industrial outputs and generation of employment. Even though they play a significant role they face problems in securing investment or manage finance to develop their ideas or to expand their existing business. It is not possible for Bangladesh to accelerate economic growth without catering to the financing needs of SMEs, Thus, the paper proposes the development of the venture capital industry as an additional financial intermediary to Cater to financing and non-financing needs of SMEs. The paper discusses available sources of finance for SMEs and the Constraints of these sources. There are basically three sources from which SMEs may receive finance. These are banks, non-government organizations (NGOs) and the capital market. Then, we discuss the advantages that venture capitalists have over banks in catering to the funding needs of SMEs. It is argued that venture capitalists perform the role of ‘active investors’ by way of offering both financial and non-financial commitment to the investee company, which is essential in a market characterized by a high level of uncertainties. Also, it is argued...

...regional are first the extraction of revenue by many “global” multinationals is confined to a region as opposed to the entire world, and second the similar market environment within certain region makes regionalization much more practical than globalization. First, Revenue generation in terms of geographic location is limited to specific regions or area, oftentimes geographically proximate regions. Rugman’s research uses the term home country to refer to the phenomenon that the home country diamond among countries in the same region is more similar to one another than the diamonds between a country in home country region and foreign country region. Therefore, adjacent markets are more likely to be similar to one another in in terms of business environment than home and foreign markets. More specifically, referring to the table 1 in the Rugman’s research, amongst fortune 500 firms, many have much higher intra-regional sales than foreign sales. This means that truly global, having penetrated the global market, multinationals are not common. Second, similar market environment within certain regions makes the exchange of products and services take place within a region than around the world. Based on the double diamond framework, the implication is that there are primary factors that affect a corporation’s market expansion: factor condition (resources), demand condition (customers), government condition and supporting industries (supply chains). If these primary factors share lack...
