Can Huawei Overcome Roadblocks in its Quest for Global Markets?
Huawei Technologies Ltd. (Huawei) has been integral in the global markets of the US, Australia, and the European Union for its telecom equipment.
In October 2019, Shenzhen-based networking and telecommunications equipment and services company Huawei Technologies Ltd. (Huawei) unveiled its 14-port and 3-D Hexa-beam antennas to address the challenges associated with the 4.5G and 5G era at the 5th Annual Global Antenna and Active Antenna Unit Forum held in Paris.
Commenting on the launch, Zhang Jiayi, president of Huawei’s antenna business unit, said, “Huawei focuses on satisfying the requirements of operators in the MBB (mobile broadband) era.” Founded in 1987 in Shenzhen by Ren Zhengfei (Ren), a former military engineer in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) – the unified organization of the armed forces of China, Huawei started as a sales agent for a Hong Kong-based company selling private branch exchange (PBX) switches. Soon, the company innovated and started selling its own PBX switches. Having established its domination over the Chinese telecommunications market, the company entered the global markets of Russia and Africa in 1996 and later mature markets such as the US and Europe.
The origin of Huawei Technologies Ltd. (Huawei) dated back to 1987 when Ren Zhengfei (Ren), a former military engineer in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), founded the company in Shenzhen with the aim of making it the backbone of China’s communications industry.
The company started as a sales agent for a Hong Kong company selling private branch exchange (PBX) switches with an initial investment of US$ 3400. By 1990, it had acquired enough resources to open its first research laboratory. In the same year, i.e., 1990, the company made its own PBX and started selling the switches to hotel networks at prices lower than those of imported devices.

- Assume Allergan, Inc. is facing a capacity constraint in manufacturing Botox®. Analytically, this implies its marginal cost curve is extremely steep. As Botox® is oftentimes used for cosmetic reasons, it is reasonable to assume consumers have quite elastic demand curves. Hypothetically, assume a forthcoming study will highlight the safety of Botox® for cosmetic procedures. Given this potential study, where should Allergan, Inc. focus its strategic resources? a. Operations, specifically finding ways to lower costs in an effort to justify a price increase. b. Staffing, specifically preparing to significantly increase its staff to prepare for a large increase in the number of units of Botox® sold. c. Marketing/Pricing, specifically preparing to significantly raise the price for Botox®.arrow_forwardThe price for some intra-Asia container shipping services, such as the container shipping fee for China-to-Singapore freight, raised up to five-year high in mid-November 2020. Some Singapore consumers believed that annual major promotion of leading ecommerce sites in China and Singapore, especially the double-11 shopping festival, caused the rapid increase of China-to-Singapore container shipping cost. However, others speculated that there might be some supply-side changes causing the spike in sea shipping rate.Search and collect information regarding changes in the Asian container shipping market from at least two news articles. Apply the supply-and-demand theory to analyse the change of short-run market equilibrium. Based on your findings evaluate the gain or loss of consumer surplus, producer surplus and total surplus.

"For a Third Wave coffee company, the goal is to satisfy existing consumer interest or create new consumer interest in attributes that its customers believe only that company can offer." “..firms are always trying to create new and better differentiation to set themselves apart from those who have been successfully earning monopoly profits. This very phenomenon is seen as Third Wave coffee companies differentiated their brands from Starbucks as it grew beyond its original ethos as a brand." a.…arrow_forward

The Swedish furniture has its production operations based mainly in Europe including Poland, Russia and Sweden. Its only non-European manufacturing plant in Virginia, the United States has been shut down in 2019 due to the cut of production cost. Nevertheless, due to the growing demand of DIY home furniture in the Asian markets, IKEA is considering the necessity to open new manufacturing plant in Indonesia to support the emerging demand. Use the following criteria to make suggestion whether the company should concentrate or decentralise its manufacturing operations based on; 1. Differences in political & economic system 2. Technological factors (i.e. fix cost, minimum efficient scale) 3. Product factors (i.e. value-to-weight, serve universal)arrow_forward
- Answer the attached questionarrow_forwardPre-mixed concrete is an important input for the construction industry. Concrete cannot be stored or transported over long distances as it begins to set after only a few hours. For this reason, only the three local firms—Aggregate Inc., Big Industries and ConCorp—are in a position to compete in the market. Moreover, the capital and regulatory requirements for constructing a new concrete plant are substantial, creating an effective barrier to entry. Pre-mixed concrete is regarded as a homogeneous good by the construction industry. Inverse demand in the market has been estimated to be,P = 670 − Q/40,where P represents the price of a cubic metre of concrete in dollars, and Q is the total number of cubic metres of concrete supplied into the market on a given day. At present the three firms appear have identical production costs, with each firm facing fixed costs of $400,000 per day and a marginal cost of $190 per cubic metre.
