...Table of Contents Introduction 2 Changes in the market 3 Economical 5 Political-legal 7 Regulatory pressure 8 Conclusion 8 References 11 Introduction The UK property market has experienced remarkable development in the last 50 years; with a notable shift in the trends investors tend to use, (Halifax, 2010). The housing market in the UK has seen great change when comparing the figures over the last 15 years. According to Beckett (2014), the rise of housing prices have led to the creation of a good investing opportunity both in the residential and in the commercial property market. The housing boom has been in chaos since the market crashed in the 2007, but as many industries continue to struggle, the UK housing industry is to experience a recovery, many experts speculate. This is due to the increase in the need for housing due to the increase in demand of properties, both for commercial and residential use; and the decrease in supply. Even with most individuals in the UK still struggling to recover from the 2007 market crash, market watchers estimate that the base line is bound to increase and revive the industry. The property industry though has been experiencing a constant boom through the years. A survey by De Montfort University in 2005 showed that the development finance was at £23 billion; this was up from £9 billion, 6 years earlier, (Gibertson, 2006). The trend has been in constant growth despite a few setbacks due to the strain in the economic pressures...

...ANALYSIS OF HONG KONG PRIME RETAIL PROPERTY MARKET In analyzing Hong Kong’s retail property market, in particular the prime shopping mall segment, Michael Porter’s Five Forces Analysis Model is used. According to Porter, corporations in any industry are constrained from maximizing profit not just by rivalry with their competitors but by four further competitive forces. These five forces shape competitive intensity. They are: • Rivalry among competitors in the industry; • Threat of new entrants; • Bargaining power of suppliers; • Bargaining power of buyers; and • Threat of substitute products. Below is the analysis: • Rivalry among Established Competitors: Medium Pressure o Currently, major shopping malls in Hong Kong are primarily managed and owned by a handful of Chinese landlords, including Sun Hung Kai Properties, Henderson Land, Wharf Holdings, Hysan Development, Sino Land, Hang Lung Properties, as well as a few British-backed landlords such as Hongkong Land and Swire Properties. o Retailer demand is focused on prime locations in urban areas rather than secondary streets. These most sought-after locations are top choices for both global and local retailers seeking a presence in the city. Fierce retailer competition for the best locations means that landlords of prime shopping malls are allowed for jockeying for a better market position by select picking their right tenants and by upgrading their tenant and trade mix profiles. o With a common focus on selling...

...owns that is in the mind of the motorcycle consumer? In my view, the word that Honda owns is quality, Hero owns is mileage and the one word Bajaj owns is power, thanks to the Pulsar. If it's Yamaha, that word is style. The one word that TVS owns is cheap (not in a bad sense) but as in the least expensive. If this is true, then it points to a very high state of evolution in the market place where consumers are able to clearly associate brands with positions. Each of the above-mentioned brands has a clear position. This has its pros and cons. The pro is that, for instance, if a consumer wants power, other things being equal, he will come to you. So, the brand becomes safer in that sense. It is relatively insulated. The con of that is people who don't seek power won't be really too interested in you-but I think the advantage is greater than the disadvantage. On Bajaj's position: We got back into the game with the Pulsar. People buy the Discover because it reminds them of the Pulsar. It's like a younger brother of the Pulsar; or a 'domesticated' Pulsar. There is this clear divide in this market place. Hero has a 71% share in the 100cc segment; I find that, after having a satisfying experience with Hero, consumers move up and they come to us. So, people who want bigger and stronger bikes come to us, but they will not buy a 100cc from us. | | | On whether Hero MotoCorp will continue to be number one because most consumers want fuel efficiency: Yes, it will...

...AIRBUS CASE ANALYSIS The possibility of an investor surviving a competition depends on the ability to overcome internal and external threats, while at the same time developing a strategy that creates aspects of differentiation, driven by economic logic. The airline industry has been a competitive industry, especially over the last half century. The two main competitors: - the Airbus and Boeing have exhibited a long-term rivalry for the market share. While the two have had a different staging of their businesses, the businesses have faced great challenges, both from within and external threats. Boeing had been the market leader until the later years of the century, when airbus, driven by the zeal and zest of becoming the market leader, experienced an accelerated growth and expansion to dominate the industry. Airbus manufacturing was a response to the increasing U.S dominance in the aircraft production industry. The initiative was launched in 1960s by three European nations, mainly Britain, France and West Germany in order to counter the increasing influence of the United States manufactures in the air transport industry. The investment was a joint product of the three nations in terms of financial input and human resources. Soon after the launch, British pulled off due to self-interests, but joined later by injecting a 20% stake in the manufacturing process. The plant was first based in Paris, France and governed under French law, which did not allow making public the financial...

In order to remain competitive, we must increase profits by evaluating most aspects of our business. Azteca Partners, Inc. was created to facilitate the purchasing, repairing, and selling of distressed properties. During the last year, most projects have been over-budget and over-schedule. This project will addresses or reduce critical aspects of the real estate business. First, Azteca Partners must decide whether to expand into the neighboring county. It is a decision we have discussed but not analyzed. The project will be used to analysis data from the current county and the proposed county. After all data is obtained, we will be able to make a sound business decision. Secondly, the issue of over-run projects will be analyzed using MS Project 2007. Each task will be schedule and an estimated date of less than 60 days will be the goal of each repair project. The tasks will be scheduled in a systematic...

...notes and issues The Full Spectrum of Real Estate Risk Analysis1 by Gary P. Taylor, MAI, SRA, and William E. Endsley he full spectrum of real estate risk analysis begins with the traditional banking infrastructures needed to fund property development and economic growth. The spectrum extends to the newer securitization products and property rating systems being developed to accelerate growth in mature economies. This spectrum also includes developing economies, economies in crisis, and economies in transition. Without a plan to spread rational and transparent capital development to every area of the world, economic uncertainty and threats to security will spread instead. Most importantly, the real estate spectrum includes a diverse group of citizens, governments, civil societies, and corporations that share power, often in inequitable ways. This paper looks at the role of the independent real estate valuer in examining the current distribution of the wavelengths that make up the continuum of real estate and capital markets. It examines the strands that make up this spectrum and offers suggestions for strengthening these individual strands and thereby amplifying the whole. Independent, ethical, and informed real estate valuers must analyze the full spectrum of real estate risks to protect the assets of a global public and help ensure an equitable sharing of economic power in the future. Spectrum Analyzers “Common spectrum analyzer measurements include frequency, power...
