...mother sitting in their favorite chairs while reading their local newspaper. Others can remember waking up and walking outside to their driveway to get the morning newspaper before getting a cup of coffee. Also, it seems just like yesterday when a co-worker would take it personal if someone picked up their newspaper and started reading it without permission. Reading the daily paper was part of American culture and a favorite pastime. This simple activity informed the average citizen about local politics, events, crime, business, sales, jobs, entertainment, weather forecast, and one could even get his horoscope. Being informed through the newspaper about the local community, the nearest populated city, and our nation once gave people a since of pride. In current times, even though people are just as informed, there are many forms of media that has surpassed the newspaper in providing information with up to the minute news releases. This has taken a large share of the market away from the outdated art of reading the printed version of the news. As people have become more familiar and comfortable with the internet, they are increasingly choosing it as a source of news delivery. In addition there are several other sources of wired and wireless electronic media delivery platforms that are available to the vast majority of people. These devices include netbooks, mobile phones, and e-readers. The newspaper industry is experiencing its worst financial crisis since the Great...

...Evaluating a Company’s External Environment LEARNING OBJECTIVES LO1 Identify factors in a company’s broad macro-environment that may have strategic significance. Recognize the factors that cause competition in an industry to be fierce, more or less normal, or relatively weak. Become adept at mapping the market positions of key groups of industry rivals. Learn how to determine whether an industry’s outlook presents a company with sufficiently attractive opportunities for growth and profitability. chapter 3 LO2 LO3 LO4 38 Part 1 Section B: Core Concepts and Analytical Tools In Chapter 2, we learned that the strategy formulation, strategy execution process begins with an appraisal of the company’s present situation. The company’s situation includes two facets: (1) the competitive conditions in the industry in which the company operates—its external environment; and (2) its resources and organizational capabilities—its internal environment. Charting a company’s long-term direction, conceiving its customer value proposition, setting objectives, or crafting a strategy without first gaining an understanding of the company’s external and internal environments hamstrings attempts to build competitive advantage and boost company performance. Indeed, the first test of a winning strategy inquires, “How well does the strategy fit the company’s situation?” This chapter presents the concepts and analytical tools for zeroing in on a single-business company’s external...

...a wife. With the invention of the modern newspaper close to 1700 the print ad medium for finding a spouse began to gain popularity. Companies profited from posting a column in exchange for a fee. Continuing into the 1900s, print advertisements continued to be the dominant medium for the dating industry, but starting around the middle of the 20th century came the concept of computer assisted matchmaking. In the mid-1960s, Lewis Altfest and Robert Ross created Project TACT (Technical Automated Compatibility Testing). Participants paid $5 and answered roughly 100 multiple-choice questions about themselves. After submitting responses, cards printed out with names and phone numbers were provided. The concept of using formulas to match singles based on their like, dislikes and characteristics was born. The computer assisted matching concept however, would not catch on for several more decades. Other new concepts also arose in the dating industry. Shows such as The Dating Game brought the idea of matching strangers with similarities to the forefront of entertainment, with contestants asking questions of three potential matches and then choosing one based of the answers. From there, concepts arose such as speed dating where individuals would have 10-20 five minute dates in a night and then select their best match and video dating where singles would talk about themselves and for whom they are looking. Then with the advent of the internet, new types of dating services were created...

...FUTURE STRATEGIES Disney’s theme park strategy underscores the importance of vertical integration for the company as a means to exert total control not only over the individual segments of the media value chain, but also over the individual value chains of its business units. For example, by owning all elements of the theme park value chain, starting with travel agencies, over food and merchandising, to the accommodation of the parks’ visitors, Disney made sure that all possible revenue streams were channeled into the group without intermediary-related losses. Despite its precarious financial situation, Disney further extended its vertical reach by investing in the development of a new cable venture, The Disney Channel, launched in 1983, which allowed the exploitation of Disney content on the additional distribution platform cable television. Disney also decided to vertically integrate into syndication in order to exploit further revenues by licensing the individual film rights of Disney’s by now extensive television content library to independent television stations. The merger presented substantial benefits for both sides: Miramax gained guaranteed access to Disney’s national and international distribution network, and Disney could increase its content product diversity by securing content of the type that it lacked in its Disney, Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures output (Lyons, 2003). Through the Miramax acquisition Disney increased movie output from 18 films per year...

...The New York Times Paywall Every newspaper in the country is paying close, close attention [to the Times paywall], wondering if they can get readers of online news to pay. Is that the future, or a desperate attempt to recreate the past?. . . Will paywalls work for newspapers? — Tom Ashbrook, host of On Point, National Public Radio1 On March 28, 2011, The New York Times (The Times) website became a restricted site. The home page and section front pages were unrestricted, but users who exceeded the allotted “free quota” of 20 articles for a month were directed to a web page where they could purchase a digital subscription. The paywall was launched earlier on March 17, 2011, in Canada, which served as the testing ground to detect and resolve possible problems before the global launch. The Times website had been mostly free for its entire existence, except for a few months in 2006–2007 when TimesSelect was launched. Traditional newspapers had been struggling to maintain profitability in the online medium, and they were eager to see how the public would react to the creation of a paywall at the most popular news website in the U.S. Martin Nisenholtz, the senior vice president of Digital Operations at The Times, was optimistic about the willingness of users to pay: I think the majority of people are honest and care about great journalism and The New York Times. When you look at the research that we’ve done, tons of people actually say, “Jeez, we’ve felt sort of guilty...

...Intellectual Property 12/05/12 Music Piracy in the US Counterfeit, piracy, bootleg, or stealing, these are some of the many terms associated with the unauthorized dissemination and distribution of copyrighted music. For over five decades, the music industry in the United States has had to grapple with the effects of such activity. The Copyright Act of 1909 was the first granting exclusive rights to copyrighted music. The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works was created in 1886 and governs international copyrights. As technology evolved, the music industry was altered in profound ways. Globalization has created a smaller world where information and goods are shared at a pace faster than ever before. With this vast advancement in technology, the way society accesses and purchases music has created a whirlwind of problems for the music industry. New innovations have pitted a war between the new generation and the music industry; each blaming the other for the ills created. There have been many debates in the legal arena as to just what is “legal” when it comes to modern digitalized music. Where are the lines drawn? Can there be compromise, or must the music industry engage in a complete overhaul and settle for fewer profits? The answer is as varied as the very music that is at the center of debate. If one were to look back at the history of music players, we would end in 1877. It was that year that Thomas Edison first invented the Phonograph...
