However, since the twenty-first century Microsoft’s market share has steadily declined to 40 per cent. This is due to the rise in competing software producers such as Apple macOS (10%), Google's Android OS (35%), Linux Operating System (35%), and Apple iOS (5%). The

The objective of a publicly traded company is to make profit for its owners i.e. shareholders. However, there are millions of AIDS victims in this world. Most of these victims are from destitute countries, like African nations. It would be irrational for us to think that these people could afford this medicine at an existing market price. The world organizations, such as WHO (world health organization), provide with assistance by subsidizing AIDS related medicine. However, this is not enough as many people are dying every day. Many argue that this medicine should be free as it is the only way a victim's life could be prolonged or saved.
GlaxcoSmithKline already allows license for generic drug production to countries, like South Africa. Should our government be involved in controlling the price of this drug? Or, should thegovernment force Glaxco to share the key knowledge of this product with its competitors (price
becomes competitive)? Explain why or why not?

This case study focuses on the pay-for-viewing TV (Pay TV in short) industry in Australia.
Back in 2013, Foxtel had just finished acquiring Austar, its major competitor. Foxtel was enjoying near total dominance in the market. There were other players such as Optus TV and iiNet, however, their market shares were dwarfed by that of Foxtel. IBISWorld reported that Foxtel occupied 92.6% of market share in 2013.
Then in March 2015, Netflix Australia was launched, opening the gate for an influx of other subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services. These new services were internet-based, which differed from Foxtel’s model of cable TV. Nevertheless, they competed fiercely for subscribers.
Fast forward to the present day (October 2021), Australian consumers now have a wealth of choices of content offered by Foxtel, Netflix, Stan, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Disney+, Optus Sport, and the recently launched Paramount+ (launched in August 2021).

Consider a new business that invests $20
million into a plant to manufacture loaves of
bread. The market for bread is say around 100
million loaves and the new firm expects that it
will be able to obtain a market share of
around 5%. At that level of production, the
total cost of production is $10 million. Let us
say that it targets a 20% return on its
investment. What should the price of a loaf of
bread be? Use the principle of target rate of
return pricing. If the mark-up rate is 10% what
will the full-cost price be?

How does the market structure (number of firms that compete in a market & relative size of the firms) affect the conduct or behaviour of firms in your chosen industry (price markups & amount spent on advertising) and their performance (profits)?
Using one or more Oligopoly models (Sweezy, Cournot, Stackelberg, Bertrand), analyse how firms in your chosen industry make and respond to their competitors' output and pricing decisions.
What are the pricing strategies (2nd degree, 3rd degree, Versioning, Bundling, Tying) that firms in your chosen industry implement, and discuss how…

Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution.
There are only two restaurants on a small tourist island. Until recently they were owned by different people, Maria and Canon; the combined annual total revenue of the two restaurants was $5.36 million and the combined annual total cost of the two restaurants was $1.18 million. Today Canon bought the other restaurant from Maria, so now he owns both restaurants. Canon believes that under his single ownership, he can increase annual total revenue from both restaurants by 23% by increasing menu prices, and he can reduce annual total cost of both restaurants by 6% by negotiating lower prices with suppliers and by eliminating duplicate back office functions.
Calculate the INCREASE in annual total profits if Canon is correct--where the INCREASE in total profits equals: the combined annual profits of the two restaurants under Canon's ownership, MINUS the combined annual total profits of the two restaurants when…

Shares of the company were traded at 12pm, 2.10pm, 2.30pm and 4pm.

Mercedes Benz seem to win every time with their social media campaigns. The one that stands out to me was back in 2013 when they created what I still believe to be one of the best Instagram marketing campaigns to date. Mercedes wanted to reach out to the younger audience so they hired five top Instagram photographers to each take the wheel of a new Mercedes CLA. Whoever got the most likes got to keep the car – so they all really worked at it!
By the end of the campaign, Mercedes has received:
87,000,000 organic Instagram impressions
2,000,000 Instagram likes
150 new marketing assets (stunning photos)
Q1. What lessons can you learn from this? Could you put your followers up for a challenge and make it into a competition or campaign?
Q2. Can you do a competition that gets people trying out your product first?
Q3. Think about your target audience. What is a prize they would value?
Q4. Like Mercedes you could recruit bloggers/influencers via social media and get them blogging about your…

Lyft launched its IPO on April 1st 2019 with a share price of $72. Before the IPO, Lyft’s board of directors was likely trying to decide how to compensate CEO Logan Green to provide an incentive for him to increase the firm’s performance and share price after it went public. Let’s say the board was considering two possibilities such that they were deciding between providing one million dollars worth of shares of the firm stock at $72 per share or one million dollars worth of call options with a strike price of $72 and a maturity and vesting date one year after the IPO. To keep things simple, let’s say CEO Logan Green can choose between providing two levels of effort: regular effort or high effort. He has been exerting regular effort all along. He could switch to high effort which would be much more costly for him as he would have to work even longer hours, but the extra effort would likely result in better performance for the firm. The goal of the board’s incentive compensation is to…

As CEO of J&J, a huge pharmaceutical company, you and your management team face the decision of whether to undertake a $150 million R&D effort to create a new mega-medicine. Your research scientists estimate that there is a 35 percent chance of successfully creating the drug. Success means securing a worldwide patent worth $500 million (implying a net profit of $350 million). However, firm BigMed (your main rival) has just announced that it is spending $100 million to pursue the development of the same medicine (by a scientific method completely independent of yours). You judge that BigMed’s chance of success is 40 percent. Furthermore, if both firms are successful, they will split equally the available worldwide profits ($250 million each) based on separate patents. Assume that firms J&J and BigMed are risk neutral. Use decision trees and the expected profits criterion to justify your answer for the following problems.
Should firm J&J undertake the R&D effort to…

Question
An incumbent firm Pilly has a product that works well but has the possibility of causing
side-effects to users. Both Pilly and an upstart firm Smirck are having the opportunity to
develop a new product without the side effects. The following table shows the expected
net return (after considering R&D costs, probability of success in product development,
and future profits) for each firm under different scenarios.
Smirck Invest
Smirck Not Invest
Pilly: $2.4 m
Smirck: -$0.1 m.
Pilly Invest
Pilly: $4.9 m
Smirck: $0
Pilly Not Invest
Pilly: $3 m
Smirck: $0.4 m
Pilly: $5 m

Nash Equilibrium of this game (that is, the action choices of the two firms in the Nash
Equilibrium)? Would your answer be different if Pilly is the first mover and commits to
its choice before Smirck makes its response (that is, a sequential-move game)?
