...Factors That Will Be Affecting the Demand And Supply For Products Introduction: Demand is described as the ability and the willingness to buy a specific quantity of a product at a given price (Grant, 2002). The demand curve is downward sloping and varies inversely with price. Price changes cause a movement along the demand curve while changes in the factors that influence demand cause a movement of the curve itself. Supply is described as the ability and willingness to supply a specific quantity of a product at a given price (Grant, 2002). The supply curve is upward sloping and varies directly with price. Price changes cause a movement along the demand curve while changes in the factors that influence supply cause a movement of the curve itself.

...offered by Tesco and Giant hypermarket in Cheras and Kuala Lumpur. Introduction In 2006, the Malaysia Retailers Association (MRA) forecast that the retail industry is projected to increase about 6% in the year 2007 as it happen in the previous year. The raised in fuel costs, toll gate fees and utility rates have decreased consumers’ disposable income and also affected their purchasing power. MRA (2006) reported that the Malaysian retail industry that is worth RM50 billion has been experiencing a progress in relations of growth since the Asian Financial Crisis in 1998. MRA embodies 100 major foreign and local retailers in Malaysia including TESCO. Recent research shows that the private labelled market share is largely dependent on the degree to which retailers are successful in communicating quality rather than a low price image to consumers (Richardson et al., 1994). What matters more is the extent to which manufacturers are successful in convincing consumers that absolute levels of real quality differ or that variation in quality presents consumers with risk if a store brand is selected over its “high quality” national brand counterpart (Hoch and Banerji, 1993; Richardson et al., (1996). With this in mind, this study will compare customer motive in behind them purchasing from Tesco and Giant and what they have done to compete with national and international brands and what factors motivate customers of Tesco and Giant when buying labelled brands especially consumer products. ...

...Macroenvironmental factors affecting the clothing industry are those which lie outside small companies and their competitors. Business owners have less control of these external factors, and their impact in changing them is minimal.

These factors affect the clothing industry in different ways. For example, a small clothing manufacturer needs to create styles that appeal to those of different cultures, especially if those cultural groups represent large enough segments of its market.

An aging population may increase the demand for larger jeans and pants sizes, such as relaxed or looser-fitting styles.

...(Schilling, 2013,pp 65-66), what factors do you think influenced whether (1) consumers, (2) retailers, and (3) movie producers supported Blu-ray versus HD-DVD? Discuss and justify your answer using the theory behind the selection of dominant designs. Intro; In the early 2000’s Toshiba and Sony, two tech giants went head to head to provide homes with the next generation of high definition video. Toshiba’s new technology was called HD-DVD and was compatible with the old technology, DVD. Sony released Blu-Ray which required a new playing system altogether. After both companies had secured major contracts in the entertainment industry there was one moment that helped Sony to become the dominant product. Time Warner, formerly in alliance with Toshiba, switched to Sony prompting other undecided companies, including Walmart and Netflix, to follow suite. After this the tech war was effectively over and Toshiba ceased production of HD-DVD’s and components. Although at the same time an alternative product for watching movies was growing; online streaming. This provided a similar experience, depending on how fast the internet was in the area, but at a cheaper cost of being digital media. Consumers; in the fight for supremacy the early adopters of the technology are very influential because they will be more likely to have researched about which product was better based on technical factors, giving an indication to the followers which format is ‘better’. Another factor to help customers choose...

...main problems are listed for the north Dallas location, which are decreased sales volume, WAN problems, and competition from other local retailers. These problems are further complicated by employee attrition, city council legal action, improperly managed inventory and product mix, market trends and variable pay system. The simulation groups the problems into critical problems of urgent nature to address, to non-critical problems still of urgent nature. While the others problems focus on critical yet non-urgent problems and non-critical of non-urgent focus. In framing the problems, the critical urgent problems are the product mix, competition from a local retailer, and variable pay. The critical yet non-urgent problems are legal action. Lastly the non-critical yet urgent problems are the WAN system. In using a Pareto analysis it was determined these were the key problems facing the company. The first choice of product mix was chosen because while sales were falling this factor went along with the opening of the competing store. The improper product mix goes hand-in-hand with decreased sales volume. While product mix is only one factor affecting decreased sales volume this factor is the most important. As market tends show an improperly balance product mix will not bring the consumers into the store for purchasing these items. These factors as well as market analysis can be turned around with an aggressive marketing campaign focusing on the products which have traditionally sold...
