...Executive Summary Megatrends affect the whole economy over years. In 2014, the new business of streaming started in Europe. People get the chance to influence their own televi-sion program. Most TVs have the ability to install applications, like Netflix. Older screens can be updated by a small hardware player to get this capability. Usually living room video entertainment is done by traditional companies like the RTL group. The customer can switch the channels, but is not able to choose his program by a remote click. Netflix is the pioneer and market leader in the US in streaming and offers shows and movies by video on demand. New streaming companies will mix up the tradi-tional market. A kind of quantum leap infects the television screen. The conver-gence of technologies combines an internet stream on the classic television. Traditional companies, like RTL, should consider following a different another strategic management course than for example Netflix. This assignment analyzes the streaming market, the forces, threats and opportu-nities as a Macro Environment Analysis. It’s a fast growing business and has a huge potential. The company Netflix is screened by a Micro Environment Analysis to show their portfolio and key figures. In the targeting and positioning part, a possible way of a strategic corporate management is developed, by references on the analysis of Porter’s three generic strategies, Ansoff and Mintzberg. For the final conclusion the current strategy...

...Best Buy would want to know the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT). This provides information concerning the health and stability of Best Buy. Conducting a SWOT analysis shows if the company is implementing strategies gained from a SWOT analysis. This can reveal Best Buy’s future existence and success. The mutual fund manager also needs to identify the external and internal stakeholders and how Best Buy meets the wants and needs of the stakeholders. SWOT The strengths of Best Buy include high brand recognition, affordable prices, special offers, convenient locations, and a strong online presence. Best Buy is large enough to afford marketing so that it can use prime time television and radio spots to reach its potential customers. The weaknesses of Best Buy range from impersonal customer service to costs of maintaining huge warehouses and stores. This year already Best Buy lost 1.7 billion. Recently Best Buy announced it is closing 50 of its stores and is planning to open smaller stores and work on a stronger online presence. This will help them avoid what happened to Circuit City and also help compete with Amazon (USA Today, 2012). Potential opportunities are new gadgets and electronics with the latest digital cameras, cell phones, video games, and new television models becoming more popular. If Best Buy can stay ahead of the market and offer the latest gadgets at competitive prices they can have an advantage and boost profits. Threats include...

...OVERVIEW The number of people worldwide accessing the Internet to read breaking news, conduct library research, make consumer e-commerce transactions, use web-based business applications, and perform other online tasks had grown at an astronomic rate since the 1994 introduction of the Netscape Navigator browser. The number of Internet users worldwide had increased from about 360 million in 2000 to nearly 1.5 billion in 2008. North America had the world’s highest Internet penetration rate with 73.6 percent of North America’s population having Internet access. About 220 million of the 248 million Internet users in North America resided in the United States. Even though only 15.3 percent of Asians had Internet access in 2008, Asia’s 578.5 million Internet users made it the world’s largest and fastest growing geographic region for Internet usage. The growth in the number of Internet users worldwide and in the United States had caused a shift in how advertisers communicated with consumers and had allowed Internet advertising to become the second most common form of advertising used in the United States in 2007. Only newspaper, with 2007 advertising revenues of $48.6 billion, controlled a larger share of United States advertising dollars. Cable television, radio, and network television each accounted for about $20 billion each in advertising revenues during 2007. The prospects for Internet advertisers looked strong in 2008 with Internet advertising expected to grow from $21 billion...
