Download or read book Financial Strategies in Competitive Markets written by Hasan Dinçer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As globalization continues to rapidly evolve, economic borders between countries have practically disappeared. One effect is that nowadays companies can access new markets by investing in other countries. This offers an important advantage especially for international and large-scale companies. However, one result is the increased market competition. Small-scale local firms and SMEs have to compete with international firms and corporations that have significantly more resources. This competitive environment jeopardizes the sustainability of the smaller companies, which often are driven out of business by the more powerful global players. This book discusses financial strategies for small and middle size companies to increase their competitiveness in the global markets.

Download or read book The Competitive Dynamics of Entrepreneurial Market Entry written by Gideon Markman and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on general market entry usually focuses on large enterprises. Often, however, small entrants can alter the competitive dynamics of an industry. This volume brings together the most prominent thought leaders and the best research on the asymmetric entrant-incumbent dynamics. The ideas presented offer a more nuanced perspective on how, when, where and with what consequences small, single-product firms enter markets that are dominated by large, multiproduct and multimarket incumbents. Large enterprises often enjoy a number of advantages that young, small ventures (as well as matured, but still small firms) lack. These differences manifest not only in how large and small firms operate and in their resource-capability mix, but also in how they compete and interact with each other. Research on general market entry and competitive dynamics is extensive yet it focuses on entrants and incumbents that are of similar profile - similar size, comparable asset mixes, related product strategies, and equivalent organizational capabilities. The unique contribution of this volume is its concentration on asymmetric entrant-incumbent dynamics. Scholars and students in entrepreneurship, strategy, international business and related fields will find this excellent collection of key published and original material illuminating.

This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: B, King`s College London, language: English, abstract: The micro environment can be defined as that which consists of the groups that the company deals with on a regular basis. The microenvironment is thus comprised of the suppliers to the firm, the customers, distributors and other companies in the industry with which the firm competes with. In analysing these groups scholars have come up with a model that is specifically targeted at this kind of analysis which is called Porter’s five forces analysis (Lamb, Hair, & McDaniel, 2011). According Porter, the model presents five forces that determine the competitive nature of the microenvironment within which a firm operates in. scholars argue that a highly unattractive industry will be one that all the five forces found in the model are strongly present and this would mean that there is perfect competition. The model consists of the following forces: threat of new entrants, bargaining power of suppliers, threat of substitutes and the rivalry among existing competitors (Kurtz, 2008).

Download or read book Achieving the Circular Economy written by Jenny Palm and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urbanisation and climate change are pushing cities to find novel pathways leading to a sustainable future. The urban context may be viewed as a new experimentation space to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Urban symbiosis and the circular economy are emerging concepts attracting more and more attention within the urban context. Moreover, new business models are emerging around sharing and peer-to-peer practices, which are challenging existing roles of actors in society. These developments are having an important impact on the flows of resources and the use of the city infrastructure, and each research area has taken a different perspective in the analysis of such impacts. This Special Issue aims to explore what a “circular city” could constitute and how and why cities engage in circularity. This Special Issue includes seven high-quality papers on the theories and practices of circular cities. Actors, concepts, methods, tools, the barriers to and enablers of circular cities are discussed and a solid base and inspiration for the future development of circular cities are provided.

Download or read book Competition Law in Latin America written by Julián Peña and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2022-06-06 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few years, Latin American countries have taken giant steps to reposition their competition authorities in the global antitrust arena, granting them much greater autonomy both domestically and internationally. This is an updated edition of the first book that offered an in-depth analysis of this complex scenario. The first part of the book includes more general chapters written by leading experts on a variety of relevant topics analyzed at a regional level such as the issues emerging with the digital economy and on the special field of the information and communications technology industry, as well as chapters on broad regional trends, on the working of competition law in countries with regulated markets and in the cluster of Central American countries, among others. At the heart of the presentation are nine chapters detailing the competition regimes of the most active national jurisdictions in the region—Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. Written by practicing experts with considerable hands-on experience in their respective countries, each of these chapters provides a comprehensive description and explanation of the evolution, current state, and prospects for antitrust in the country. Topics addressed in the country analysis encompass the following and more: relevant institutions and legislation; cartel investigations; unilateral conduct policies; merger review; international coordination; enforcement; and remedies. Each chapter includes an analysis of relevant case law, allowing the reader to gauge the positions, views, and tendencies of each competition law regime. The contributors also pay attention to the specificities and idiosyncrasies that are so important for a correct understanding of the practical realities of competition policy and enforcement. With its wide-ranging and in-depth approach, this book provides an incomparable analysis of a challenging region poised to become increasingly important in the international recognition and enforcement of antitrust law. It is in this sense an essential guide for lawyers, economists, corporations, academics, and government officials interested in understanding where competition law is, and where it is going to, in Latin America.

This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 1, , language: English, abstract: The UK mobile phone market is one of the most competitive markets in the world. This sector has developed and also expanded over the years and the increasing competition has resulted into falling consumer prices of the mobile phones. The increased competition in the UK mobile phone market has underpinned decline in their prices despite the increasing demand from the mobile users (Ofcom, 2014). New investments and innovations have been witnessed in the mobile market in the UK which has resulted into new products and network services hence increasing the choice by the consumers. The consumers view on the mobile market in the UK is that the prices of these products are favorable, and the prices are competitive because of the increasing number of players in the market (Ofcom, 2014). Research in the UK market, therefore, shows that the mobile phones prices have continued to fall despite the increasing demand from the mobile phones users. This forms the basis of this research to explain the factors that determine the prices of mobile phones in the UK an also examine why the prices have continued to fall despite the increasing demand from the users in the UK.

Download or read book Innovation Equity written by Elie Ofek and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From drones to wearable technology to Hyperloop pods that can potentially travel more than seven hundred miles per hour, we’re fascinated with new products and technologies that seem to come straight out of science fiction. But, innovations are not only fascinating, they’re polarizing, as, all too quickly, skepticism regarding their commercial viability starts to creep in. And while fortunes depend on people’s ability to properly assess their prospects for success, no one can really agree on how to do it, especially for truly radical new products and services. In Innovation Equity, Elie Ofek, Eitan Muller, and Barak Libai analyze how a vast array of past innovations performed in the marketplace—from their launch to the moment they became everyday products to the phase where consumers moved on to the “next big thing.” They identify key patterns in how consumers adopt innovations and integrate these with marketing scholarship on how companies manage their customer base by attracting new customers, keeping current customers satisfied, and preventing customers from switching to competitors’ products and services. In doing so, the authors produce concrete models that powerfully predict how the marketplace will respond to innovations, providing a much more authoritative way to estimate their potential monetary value, as well as a framework for making it possible to achieve that value.
