Introduction
Everyone knows what time it is. Thanks to tiny and hardly
noticeable Wrist Watch. The concept of Watch dates back
many centuries, however, Wrist Watches are relatively
new concept. Since 1868, when first wrist watch was
produced by Patek Philippe (for women), there has been
a steady growth in acceptance of Wrist Watches. The first
mass produced Wrist Watches for men were ordered by
German Army and made by Girard-Perregaux and today,
a Wrist Watch has become a common phenomenon.
The latest to stake claim on wrist are Smart Watches.
These are Wearable Devices that do much more than just
tell time. Typically, they integrate with your Smart Phone
and help users by logging lifestyle information, show
alerts and interact with Smartphones. In this paper, we try
to explore the World of Traditional and Smart Watches.
Analyse the main features of these watches, understand
market dynamics and challenges that both these types
of Watches face. We also try to investigate how overall
Watch Industry may behave after Smart Watches become
main-stream.
What is a Watch
Watch is a device used to measure the passage of time.
Over years, there have been many different ways in which
time was measured. Time measurement initially started out
by looking at shadows determining time. These devices
were called Sundials. The oldest record that is available
shows sundials in use in ancient Egypt in 1500BC. The
positions of shadows are used to determine approximate
time of day. Over years, a lot of improvements were done
on Sundial and many were installed. One of the famous
Sun-dials in India is Jantar Mantar which was built in
1724.
Another interesting way of measuring time was using an
hour glass. They was quite popular in Europe and there
are docu.
Watches have been an essential accessory for both men and women for centuries. From the classic elegance of a mechanical timepiece to the technological marvels of smartwatches, these wrist companions have evolved over time, transcending their primary function of telling time to become symbols of style, craftsmanship, and personal expression.
Will the (wrist) watch make its comeback in 2014? It seems, the time is now. Pebble, Samsung, LG, Apple, ... and many others will soon disrupt the world of time. Are you ready? *UPDATED SEPTEBER 2014*

Introduction
The objective of this study plan is to evaluate the viability of our solution in relation to previously conducted test cases for companies operating in industries analogous to those of our own. In this section, we will concentrate on the manner in which these use cases measure the performance characteristics of various technical and behavioral qualities connected with an investment in technology made on behalf of a business. The viewpoints and data sources of stakeholders will be incorporated into our measuring system. This measurement framework will be utilized by us in order to assess and analyze the overall performance of our product. After the solution has been implemented, we will conduct post-implementation evaluations to determine how the solution affected the organization. The management of change will play a significant role in our overall research agenda. The plan will adhere to a certain format in providing the findings of the data analysis.
Measurement framework
In order to present an all-encompassing picture of performance, the measuring framework must to take into account the many stakeholder viewpoints as well as the various data sources. Perspectives from stakeholders may come from a variety of sources, such as the user community, project managers, or senior leadership. Customer feedback, system logs, and performance statistics are three examples of potential data sources (Thabane, 2009).
The purpose of the measurement framework is to supply stakeholders with viewpoints and data sources that may be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of an investment in technology. The framework consists of four dimensions: behavioral characteristics, organizational aspects, user factors, and technological qualities (McShane, 2018). To evaluate how well the technology investment is working out, there is a separate set of performance indicators linked with each of the dimensions of the evaluation.
Indicators such as system uptime, reaction time, and throughput are examples of technical qualities. Indicators that make up behavioral qualities include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training. Indicators like as return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership are included in the category of organizational variables (TCO). The metrics that make up user factors include things like user happiness, adoption rates, and training expenses (McShane, 2018).
The measuring framework draws its information from a variety of data sources, including organizational data, user data, performance data, and financial data. The return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) of the technological investment may both be calculated using financial data (Jalal, 2017). The uptime, reaction time, and throughput of the system may all be evaluated based on the performance statistics. Data from users may be analyzed to determine factors such as user happiness, adoption rates, and the costs of training (Thabane,.

With the restricted economic activity expected because of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the rise in inflation the revenue for the automobile engine and parts manufacturing industry has been adjusted to decline by 10.9% by the end of 2022 (Pantalon, 2022). Based on the current challenges the automotive industry faces, we must diversify our engine manufacturing and its operations to expand our revenue. In this presentation, I will be using qualitative and quantitative data to explain why I think our company should rapidly explore the ever-evolving and growing popularity of the electric car industry and develop electric motors. I will show the qualitative data which will focus on the industry reports of engine manufacturing inside the automotive industry. The quantitative data that I will provide will estimate the projections for future operations and provide fact-checked historical data on the automotive industry. Automotive Manufacturing Industry
After conducting extensive research into the current automotive industry status, where I focused on the performance and expectations for the industry's future, the 2021 measured revenue of the US car and automobile manufacturing was $75 billion. This is compared to previous years, such as 2020 $69 billion, and in 2019 and 2018 $92 billion (MarketLine 2021). Although we saw a rise from 2020 to 2021 in revenue the automobile manufacturing industry revenue will continue to not keep pace with previous years. As the domestic demand for new vehicles trends higher, three automotive hubs are expected to gain greater traction over the next few years. With that said the US automotive industry is heavily established in the Great Lakes region. This region represents just over 36% of the automobile manufacturers in the US. Some of the most successful automobile making are located here which include the Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler. All these manufacturers are in Michigan which makes up 15% of all automobile manufacturing revenue in the US. With that said there are 2 more regions where automobile manufacturers operate that make up 50% of all us manufacturers' locations. The Regions are the West Region, making up 25.4% of the industry locations, and the Southeast Region, making up 24.6% of the industry locations. After conducting research, the consumer's current mindset is shifting towards a “greener” option for the automobile. This option would have a smaller carbon footprint, providing an increase in producing vehicles that are more environmentally friendly. As a result of this new stance on a “greener” option by the consumer the hybrid and the electric car are gaining popularity and are expected to multiply over the next five years (MarketLine 2018). “In 2025 the North American hybri.

Management of Care
Management of care involves organizing, prioritizing, maintaining strict patient confidentiality, providing patient with efficient care, education to patient and families, risk stratification, coordination of care transition and medication management. Patient care management is provided to client by nurses and other health care professionals “Management of the critically injured patient is optimized by a coordinated team effort in an organized trauma system that allow for rapid assessment and initiation of life- preserving therapies. (Cantrell, E., & Doucet, J. 2018). Effective patient care management can impact patient heath more positively, when all healthcare professionals work together to provide quality care in promoting patient centered care. Adequate patient care can prevent readmission or admission, also can reduce distress, total cost of care, improve self-management, disease control and patient overall health.
Patient care is important to patient because its ensure that patient receive the needed possible care they deserve when in the hospital and out of the hospital, patient will feel their demand is understood and listened to if they health needs are met and understood by professionals that know how to manage their health care needs, health care management team member work together to ensure patient safety through effective communication and collaboration, advocating for patient by connecting patient to community and social services resources that will promote their health care needs can be beneficial to patient, environmental and home risk assessment, and effective facilitation of communication between members of the healthcare team.
Nurses play a role in managing a patient health, roles such as: Critical thinking skills, in this case the nurse can recognize any shift in patient health status which plays a significant role in decision making and patient centered care. Time management: delegation, prioritization such as knowing what to do first, what is important, and knowing what task is more important for the patient at a particular time. Patient education is also one of the many role’s nurses do to educate patient on what to expect during a procedure, or during recovery, also teachings on complications or adverse effects of a medication. Clinical reasoning and judgement which will promote quality of health through patient centered care that addresses patient specific health care needs. Holman, H. C., Williams, “et al”. (2019).

Part One
The development of essential attitudes and abilities that help determine a person's susceptibility to psychological discomfort occurs throughout adolescence's formative years. This particular research aimed to investigate the relationship between problem-solving-oriented and cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and levels of psychological discomfort (Speyer etal.,2021).
Notably, the issue of violence among adolescents is increasingly recognized as a severe problem in terms of public health. However, little research has investigated the importance of techniques to control cognitive emotion in teenagers, despite the increased interest in psychographic risk factors for violent conduct. The primary focus of this study will be to investigate the frequency of violent behaviors shown by adolescents and to determine the nature of the connection that exists between specific coping mechanisms for regulating cognition and emotion and various manifestations of aggressive behavior. Using confidential, self-reporting questionnaires, the research will conduct a cross-sectional survey of 3,315 students in grades 7 to 10 to investigate methods by which young adolescents may manage their cognitive processes, emotions, and actions connected to violence. The participants will be notified about the survey, but their personal information will not be public under any circumstances since this would violate ethical standards.
The influence of a father on his children might also vary depending on the gender and age of the kid. For boys, parental psychological distress is related to higher internalizing and externalizing issues throughout early adolescence. This finding lends credence to the notion that this stage of development may be especially significant in father-son exchanges. On the other hand, there is a correlation between maternal and paternal psychological discomfort in early infancy and increased levels of internalizing and externalizing difficulties in females (Speyer et al.,2021). Growing up with a father who struggles with mental illness may make girls more reserved, reducing the possibility that they would acquire issues that are manifested outside their bodies. This is one of the possible explanations.
Part Two
The whole of this project shall be guided by the research questions below: (what is the prevalence of adolescent violent behaviors? what is the relationship between specific strategies to regulate cognitive emotion and forms of violent behavior?)
To help operationalize the variables, a logistic regression model will be used to determine the nature of the connection between specific violent actions .

to the environment in which it is
located. Business integration is a
necessity. From many points of view
and experiences, the different strategies
have brought success to many
companies that were therefore
encouraged to carry out the entire
integration process. The benefits speak
for themselves: lower expenses for
systems, automation of processes, less
time spent in work, better control of
information.
-You can’t miss the 7 benefits of
Enterprise Application Integration!-
This is due to the fact that integrated
business computing works better. The
company’s IT works as a stage for the
renewal of its functions. Its capacity for
updating and deleting errors, as well as
cloud adaptation or hybrid operation,
allows it to generate unparalleled
results.
Companies with integrated business
computing are not only more
productive, but they also stand above
their competitors thanks to the great
work capacity they can assume. It
doesn’t matter if the systems they have
are complex, the management is simple
and allows work policies to be fulfilled
and its employees to perform better.

West Chester Private School Case Study
Grand Canyon University
MGT-420: Organizational Behavior and Management
December 11th, 2022
West Chester Private School
Your introduction should be typed here. It should be at least four sentences and include a thesis statement that introduces all the key points of the paper. Please note that you should follow all APA writing rules within your essay. This means avoid first and second person, do not use contractions, and use citations throughout your paper. The final sentence in your introduction must be a strong thesis statement that introduces every key topic that will be introduced in the paper. Remember that a thesis should be one sentence. Here is an example: In the pages to follow, West Chester Private School (WCPS) will be discussed in the context of open systems, organizational culture, the decision to close and the closure process, the impact of technology and innovation on stakeholders, administration closure options, the plans for future direction of WCPS, along with the four functions of management.
External Environment and Open Systems
There are certain ways in which organizations interact with their external environment (as open systems). These ways rely on the Systems Approach to Management Theory, which perceives an organization as an open system that consists of interdependent and interrelated parts interacting as sub-systems (Jackson, 2017). Generally, organizations rely on the exchange of resources and information with their environments. More so, they cannot hold complete control over their behavior and actions, which are significantly impacted by external forces. For example, an organization may be impacted by various environmental conditions such as government regulations, client demands, and raw material availability. As an open system, an organization can interact with the external environment in the context of inputs, transformations, and outputs. Inputs refer to both human and non-human resources like materials, energy, and information. Transformations refer to the conversion of inputs into outputs. For example, a school can transform a student into an educated individual. Finally, outputs refer to what an organization is giving to the environment.
Internal Environment and Organizational Culture
At the time of the closure, the effectiveness of West Chester Private School (WCPS) as an open system was inadequate. One important factor that impacts the effectiveness of an open system is feedback. Feedback refers to the information that an open system receives from the external environment, which can be used to maintain a system at optimal working conditions or a steady state (Jung & Vakharia, 2019). In the case of WCPS, feedback could be received from parents, teachers, and students. At the time of the closure, none of these stakeholders was consulted. Instead, WCPS made a unilateral decision to close down two campuses without considering the input of parents, te.

Toxoplasmosis and Effects on Abortion, And Fetal Abnormalities
Toxoplasmosis and Effects on Abortion, And Fetal Abnormalities
Abstract
The placenta is an immune-privileged organ that may tolerate antigen exposure without eliciting a strong inflammatory response that could result in an abortion. After that, the pregnancy can progress normally. Th1 answers, characterized by interferon-, are essential for suppressing intracellular infections. Therefore, the maternal immune system finds a catch-22 when intracellular parasites invade the placenta. The pro-inflammatory response required to eradicate the virus carries the danger of causing an abortion. Toxoplasma is a potent parasite that causes lifetime infections and is a leading cause of abortions in people and animals. This paper speculates that the pregnancy outcome may be affected by the Toxoplasma strain and the effectors of the parasite, both of which can modify the signaling pathways of the host cell.
Introduction
Fetuses infected with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii can develop a disorder known as toxoplasmosis, sometimes called congenital toxoplasmosis. This disease is transmitted from mother to child in the womb. A miscarriage or a stillbirth might happen as a result. A child with this illness may also have significant and progressively deteriorating difficulties in their vision, hearing, motor skills, cognitive ability, and other areas of development. The parasite Toxoplasma gondii is blamed for many pregnancies ending in miscarriage (Arranz-Solís et al., 2021). Most abortions happen in the first trimester of pregnancy or during the early stages of acute sickness. This research aimed to determine if women who had an abortion were more likely to be infected with toxoplasmosis.
To make matters worse, the toxoplasmosis-causing Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular pathogen that infects nearly every animal species with a thermoregulatory system. Transferring Toxoplasma from one host to another requires the development of tissue cysts that are infectious when ingested. This means the parasite is incentivized to ensure that the host organism lives during the infection. The parasite does this by stimulating an immune response powerful enough to limit parasite reproduction. Toxoplasma, on the other hand, uses a unique set of effectors to evade the immune response and ensure that the parasite population does not decrease to zero.
Results
Type II strains are the most common cause of infection in both animal and human hosts. However, all four clonal lineages of Toxoplasma may be found throughout Europe and North America. It has been established, however, that the bulk of the South American isolates identified is genetically distinct from the strains seen in North America and Europe. Certain sorts of isolates have been labeled as atypical strains. Birth abnormalities apart, type II strains are the most common in Europe and North America, where the great majority of .

ASSOCIATION, Defendants-Appellees
No. 84-5788
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

(CCH) P11,677
February 6, 1985, Argued and Submitted - Los Angeles, California
September 16, 1985, Decided
PRIOR HISTORY: [**1] Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, D.C.
NO. CV-80-1810-N, Honorable Leland C. Nielsen, District Judge, Presiding.
CASE SUMMARY:
PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Plaintiff professional football player appealed from judgments of the United States
District Court for the Southern District of California entered in favor of defendant union on plaintiff's claim for breach
of the duty of fair representation and in favor of defendant attorneys on plaintiff's legal malpractice claim.
OVERVIEW: Plaintiff football player filed suit against defendant union for breach of the duty of fair representation,
alleging that defendant attorneys, who were staff counsel for defendant union, erroneously advised him to file the wrong
type of grievance and failed to rectify the error when there was an opportunity to do so. Plaintiff also claimed that
defendant attorneys committed malpractice. The trial court entered judgment for defendants. On appeal, the court
affirmed. The court found that defendant union did not act in an arbitrary, discriminatory, or bad faith manner and held
that mere negligence or an error in judgment was insufficient to impose liability for breach of the duty of fair
representation. The court affirmed the directed verdict in favor of defendant first attorney because a union attorney may
not be held liable in malpractice to an individual union member for acts performed as the union's agent in the collective
bargaining process. The court affirmed the summary judgment entered in favor of defendant second attorney. The trial
court lacked personal jurisdiction over him because his only contact with the forum state were phone calls and letters.
OUTCOME: The court affirmed the judgment in favor of defendant union because it did not breach its duty of fair
representation. The court affirmed the directed verdict in favor of defendant first attorney because he was not liable in
malpractice to plaintiff football player for acts he performed as the union's agent. The court affi.

1. When drug prices increase at a faster rate than inflation, the .docxrobert345678
1. When drug prices increase at a faster rate than inflation, the groups of people that bear the burden of this increase are taxpayers and Medicare beneficiaries. Taxpayers are paying higher taxes as a result of increased government spending, and Medicare beneficiaries cannot keep up with the price of their prescriptions. When it comes to the factors in making a decision about increasing drug prices, I believe Big Pharma companies should act in a socially responsible manner, meaning they should base their decisions not solely on profit, and not solely on healthcare. There should be a balance, and new policies would be beneficial to help maintain that balance.
2. Lower-level employees have the responsibility to provide accurate information to management so that they can make the most informed decision. Lower-level employees also have the responsibility to not purposefully make material mistakes or purposefully not correct a known mistake.
3. Increased government spending will increase taxes for taxpayers and decrease available spending for other worthy issues. Taxpayers will essentially pay more in taxes and therefore have less income available. With drug prices rising faster than inflation, this will cause a widening gap between annual income and costs. Also, private health insurance costs will increase premiums and out of pocket costs for members. The stakeholders most directly impacted are the senior citizens that are dependent on their medication and can’t afford it or any other out of pocket costs because of the already wide gap between their income and expenses. I believe the government itself can be seen as a stakeholder as well because as they continue to increase Medicare funding, their deficit increases, causing them to take action to allocate resources effectively.
4. If the increase in price of existing drugs is preventing those who need those drugs from obtaining them, then to me it is hard to justify the increase based on R&D. There will always be a trade-off between affordable drugs and how quickly we can get new drugs. The government must devise a policy that improves Big Pharma companies’ incentive for affordability
and innovation.
5. Explain what you think each of the following statements means in the context of moral development.
. How far are you willing to go to do the right thing?
1. Stage 6 of moral development is about universal “self-chosen” ethical principles. This stage is about following your conscience even if it violates the law. In thinking of moral development, as time passes, one’s level of ethical reasoning advances and some issues may spark moral outrage that force a response.
. How much are you willing to give up to do what you believe is right?
1. This statement relates to moral development and how sometimes doing the right thing can have negative consequences. For example, an employee may notice a purposeful mistake by a manager. Let’s assume the employee is certain they will receiv.

Stress and Behavioral Factors That Inhibit Work and Home Satisfaction

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore stress and behavioral factors that impact work and life satisfaction among employees from diverse workforces. In this study, the goal is to identify stressors or behavioral factors through a survey to help find an intervention that can increase work-life satisfaction and job performance. The results help employers know which factors prevent employees from achieving home satisfaction in activities outside of work so that they improve work and life satisfaction for their employees. This also helps employees find a balance so they can do a better job at work and complete satisfying tasks at home.
Stress and Behavioral Factors That Inhibit Work and Home Satisfaction
For many employees, it can be tough to maintain a healthy balance between their work life and home life. The easiest way to discover a common factor that most employees may face is by conducting a quick survey about their difficulties at both locations. To create a work-life balance, interventions can be o.

1. How did the case study impact your thoughts about your own finances?
2. What were your thoughts and observations as you created your own balance sheet?
3. How might the balance sheet help you in future financial planning?
4. How close to reality do you think your estimated personal cash flow statement will be if you track your actual income and expenses for a month?
1. It gave me the desire to track my finances more closely and objectively. I liked how we can determine our net worth through some simple calculations and our inflows and outflows per month. Generally, I rely on simple finance apps like
Mint to track my finances. Currently, I do not create monthly budgets, but I now believe such action could be helpful.
2. I know that I have more assets than I am counting in the excel sheet. Therefore, my net worth is potentially higher. I also have a variety of streaming platforms.
I would benefit from switching from one platform to another month by month to save money. Streaming platforms are not a significant expense. Currently, my most considerable expense is transportation. Since gas prices are falling, this will help increase my surplus.
3. Accounting is math: it either works or doesn’t. Each can be traced from its inception (a sale, an expense, a money transfer) to the line on the financial statement. Since I don’t have much experience with financials, I try to seek out a mentor who is a family member. A balance sheet will ensure that I am not spending foolishly and ensure I am making appropriate purchases within the limits I set for myself. Proper planning will ensure I maximize my net worth.
4. It is important to consider cash flow when planning for the future
. It is important to save money every month in order to be able to make better financial decisions in the future. I hope to use some investing approaches for beginners to purchase funds without getting into debt. Most people underestimate how much they truly spend in a month. Therefore, I am underestimating how much I spend as well. I eat out quite a bit with friends and family, so my restaurant bill for the holidays might be higher than anticipated.

The Biography of Langston Hughes
THE BIOGRAPHY OF LANGSTON HUGHES
2
On February 1, 1901, James Mercer Langston Hughes was born. He was born in
Joplin, Missouri, to James and Caroline Hughes, into a family of enslaved people and
enslavers (Leach, 2004). His father departed from the family, later divorcing their family,
forcing Langston's mother to move to Lawrence, Kansas, with his maternal grandmother. It
was from the latter that Langston learned about African American traditions, installing an
enormous sense of pride into the young man (Hughes et al., 2001). This greatly influenced his
writing, as evidenced by poems such as Mother to Son. He would then go on to join
Columbia University to study engineering, where he would write poetry for the Columbia
Daily Spectator. As a result of racial discrimination, he finally left the school and resided in
Harlem, where he was engulfed by the vibrant feeling of life (Leach, 2004).
Langston began cruising as a crewman aboard the S.S. Malone in 1923, after doing a
few odd jobs. He subsequently took his first white-collar job as Carter G. Woodson's assistant
at the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, a historian. He'd then
leave his work since it didn't enable him to write. He would later work as a busboy. He got
his big writing break when he met Vachel Lindsay, a famous poet of the time, with whom
Langston shared his poetry (Leach, 2004). Lindsay was heavily impressed and helped
Langston reach the big stage. Langston then went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from
Lincoln University.
Langston began his literary career in 1921 by publishing The Crisis in the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People magazine (Leach, 2004). The poem
Mother to Son was in this book and would go on to get much acclaim. He would go on to
release The Weary Blues along with other novels, short stories, and poems (Hughes et al.,
2001). He participated heavily in the Harlem Renaissance. Langston would pass away on
May 22, 1967, from surgery complications while being treated for prostate cancer.

Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now—
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

Executive Summary
The proposed event, titled “Save Our Doughmocracy: A Moophoric Voter Registration
and Ice Cream Social Event” is intended to support the voter registration movement for the 2020
election. Since this event has already happened, the proposal is written theoretically as though
the event date has not yet passed, or in the future tense of what “will” occur. The event will be
hosted by the ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s on behalf of the Democratic National Committee. It
will serve as an opportunity for attendees to register to vote, connect with Democratic candidates
for the upcoming election, and exclusively sample a new flavor of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream that
is being created specifically for the event. Ben & Jerry’s is an extremely popular brand, loved for
its specialty ice cream and involvement in important social causes. The brand uses its platform to
advocate for numerous movements that its founders and employees support. The goal of this
event is to reestablish election integrity and uphold the values that comprise democracy. Many
people are discriminated against by outdated and unlawful voter registration laws, making it
extremely difficult for certain groups to vote or discouraging them from doing so altogether. The
proposed event aims to aid these groups in their voter registration process in a relaxed, helpful,
and fun way.
Similar events include political candidate rallies, voter registration events, and ice cream
or dessert experiential events. Although these types of events have some overlap with “Save Our
Doughmocracy,” none of them are exactly the same in the way that we combine all of these
events into one, which gives us a competitive advantage. Marketing strategies and promotions
will emphasize this key differentiator to attract people to our event over others. The event’s
strengths include customer loyalty to Ben & Jerry’s, a centralized event location, appeal through
its exclusivity, and a well-established platform for promotion, while weaknesses include
potential controversy due to the Democratic National Committee’s involvement and competing
Ben & Jerry’s locations. The key opportu.

Motor Vehicle Safety Defects and Recall System: An Empirical Study in Saudi Arabia
2- Research Summary
Summarize the aims, significance and expected outcomes of your proposed research (max. 250 words).
It is to set the mechanism for recalling vehicles with manufacturing defects that affect in
one way or another the safety of vehicles and their users, and this is done by linking a
unified system in which the defective vehicle data is added and called in the system to
the maintenance centers of the concerned vehicle agencies. Workmanship defects are
classified as: (1) Basic defects, which are considered to have a serious and direct impact
on the safety of the vehicle and its users, and the inspection process cannot be passed
until after the defect is fixed. (2) Warning defects, which are considered a defect in the
product, but the effect of the defect does not threaten the safety of the vehicle and its
users pass the examination process and the defect is added as a warning only.
This research proposal aims to find the most effective way to reach every defected
vehicle and the effective way to deal with the vehicle owner to do the necessary changes
especially if it's related to safety in a systematic way. The purpose of the project is to
develop a new business model that was never used everywhere in the world and Saudi
Arabia will take the lead to publish this model to the rest of the world. Ensuring that the
practice will be used is the most effective practise as enabling to force the defected car
owner to have their vehicles fixed and the defected was solved.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Introduction
2. Everyone knows what time it is. Thanks to tiny and hardly
noticeable Wrist Watch. The concept of Watch dates back
many centuries, however, Wrist Watches are relatively
new concept. Since 1868, when first wrist watch was
produced by Patek Philippe (for women), there has been
a steady growth in acceptance of Wrist Watches. The first
mass produced Wrist Watches for men were ordered by
German Army and made by Girard-Perregaux and today,
a Wrist Watch has become a common phenomenon.
The latest to stake claim on wrist are Smart Watches.
These are Wearable Devices that do much more than just
tell time. Typically, they integrate with your Smart Phone
and help users by logging lifestyle information, show
alerts and interact with Smartphones. In this paper, we try
to explore the World of Traditional and Smart Watches.
Analyse the main features of these watches, understand
market dynamics and challenges that both these types
of Watches face. We also try to investigate how overall
Watch Industry may behave after Smart Watches become
main-stream.
What is a Watch
Watch is a device used to measure the passage of time.
Over years, there have been many different ways in which
time was measured. Time measurement initially started out
by looking at shadows determining time. These devices
were called Sundials. The oldest record that is available
shows sundials in use in ancient Egypt in 1500BC. The
positions of shadows are used to determine approximate
time of day. Over years, a lot of improvements were done
on Sundial and many were installed. One of the famous
Sun-dials in India is Jantar Mantar which was built in
1724.
3. Another interesting way of measuring time was using an
hour glass. They was quite popular in Europe and there
are documented references dating back to 13th century.
Hour glasses are still used for ornamentation or in
children’s games where accurate time measurements are
not required.
In recent centuries, mechanical clocks were built to tell
time. These were huge in size and expensive to own. They
were deployed in clock towers, churches and other public
buildings. Then, came the watches that we are familiar
with today. Small Pocket Watches dominated the 17th-18th
century. These were small watches that were typically
carried in ones pockets. In early 19th Century, the wrist
watches were mass manufactured and are now a globally
accepted. Today, Wrist Watch industry is a Multi-Billion
Dollar industry churning out hundreds of Millions of
Watches each year.

Wrist Watches today, are primarily of two types: Quartz
watches and Mechanical watches. From 19th Century,
Watch industry has been dominated by mechanical
watches. A major disruption was brought about when
Quartz was used to make Watches. Being extremely
simple to build and having great accuracy, Quartz watches
eroded the Mechanical Watch market for about 30 years.
4. The Mechanical Watch market reviewed in 1990 when
the demand for high end Mechanical Watches increased
globally. Mechanical watches have now become a Luxury
collectables items. The Mechanical and Quartz Watches
have both made a place for themselves and Market for
both type of watches is on upside.
Traditi onal Watch Stati sti cs
Given below are some of interesting statistics for
Traditional watches. These have been collated from
Internet resources
Some Facts
1. Swiss Watch Industry is the leader in watch Making
with 54% Market Share
2. Chinese watch industry produces more number of
watches than Swiss but creates watches of cheaper
variant
3. Swatch and Richemont are prominent hold-
ing companies controlling most of the important
Brands.
4. Independent Watch companies like Audemars
Piguet & Patek Philippe (which make luxury time
pieces) are able to hold on their own in spite of
market consolidation. This is due to high quality
time pieces and Brand Value that they have built
over centuries.
5. The most recognizable brand in Wrist Watches is
ROLEX. It has highest Market share for Luxury
5. Watches.
What Dri��s A Traditiona� Wrist
Watch
A Wrist Watch can be powered by Quartz movement or by
a Mechanical Movement. Both these movements achieve
the same purpose of measuring time accurately. However,
they differ completely in the way how they do this. Lets
try and understand both these.
Quartz:
Majority of clocks today use Quartz as their main
component. Quartz is a crystal that vibrates when
electricity is applied to it. In watch, a Quartz crystal is
made to vibrate at a specifi c frequency which is counted
by electronic circuit and converted to time as we know
(seconds, minutes, hours). Most of the quartz crystals
Wrist Wars: Smart Watches vs Traditional Watches 71
are made to vibrate at 32,768Hz which is 215 and can be
counted easily by logic circuit. The fi rst Quartz watch
was created in 1927 at Bell Telephone labs and have been
mass produced since 1980 after they became inexpensive
to create due to advancements in Solid state electronics.
Quartz have a high degree of accuracy and have
revolutionized the watch industry by making high quality
time pieces available at affordable rates. In fact, during
the Quartz revolution, the Mechanical watch industry was
6. at its worst phase and suffered terribly for few decades.
Mechanical
The basic elements of a Mechanical watch are springs
and gear wheels. Using these elements, energy is saved
on spring and then released in a controlled way to help
the watch display time accurately. The accuracy of a
Mechanical watch depends on how accurately the energy
stored in springs is released and a lot of innovations has
happened around this area. Shown below is a simplifi ed
explanation of how a Mechanical Wrist watch works.
1. Power is provided by mainspring.
2. Mainspring power is transmitted by wheel train
through escape wheel and pallet to balance wheel
3. Accuracy is controlled by oscillating rate of bal-
ance wheel
4. The time indicating hands are turned by wheel
train
5. The mainspring is wound by an oscillating weight
which swings with the motions of the wearer
To improve accuracy and add complications(eg day,
date display), the mechanical movements complexity
increases. One direct result is increase in number of
mechanical elements that make up the Watch. A simple
Mechanical watch may have 100 elements (Swatch has
last year released a ground breaking watch with only
51 components) and most complicated watch has 1,728
components. As these components are so small, designing
and assembling them is in itself an art form. Infact, a lot
of precious metal is also used to make components to
7. enhance their life. High end Mechanical watches are still
assembled and polished by hand and are expected to last
Centuries.
Smart Watch
So, now that we have looked at existing watches, lets look
at the latest disruptor in Watch Industry, a Smart Watches.
Wikipedia defi nes it as follows
“A Smartwatch (or smart watch) is a computerized
wristwatch with functionality that is enhanced beyond
timekeeping, and is often comparable to a personal digital
assistant (PDA) device. While early models can perform
basic tasks, such as calculations, translations, and game-
playing, modern smartwatches are effectively wearable
computers. Many smartwatches run mobile apps, while a
smaller number of models run a mobile operating system
and function as portable media players, offering playback
of FM radio, audio, and video fi les to the user via a
Bluetooth headset. Some smartphone models, (also called
watch phones) feature full mobile phone capability, and
can make or answer phone calls.”
Smart watches were one of the fi rst Consumer goods
to embrace wearable computing concept. That said, it
was also the most logical device to move into the Smart
Domain because of number of factors: Worn by almost
everyone, socially accepted since decades, an extension
of existing device, built to be on user for majority part
of day, available power source which can be used for
additional functionalities, etc. All these helped Smart
Watches to be where they are presently.
The journey of Smart Watch started a long time back.
People realized that they could try to get a lot more
8. functionality on Wrist Watch. This was especially helped
by the digitization of time keeping mechanism and better
battery life. Seiko launched one of the fi rst smart watches
in 1980 called Data 2000. It had capability to store 2000
72 Telecom Business Review: SITM Journal Volume 8 Issue 1
September 2015
characters and display them on its screen. The data is
input via large keyboard which communicated with the
watch using electromagnetic pulses.
Some recent smart watches were made by:
- IBM in year 2000(WatchPad – Ran Linux)
- Palm in 2003(Palm Fossil Wrist PDA – which ran
Palm OS)
- Microsoft in 2004(SPOT – used FM signals to
receiveinformation)
We may have not heard a lot of these watches due to
various factors. Eg size, visibility, functionality etc.
There was nothing really captivating with these devices
and hence over a period of few years, these devices were
no-where to be seen. But, that was not the end of Smart
Watches as we see now. Companies have reinvented the
Smart Watches to be more powerful, be able to do a lot
more things and eco-systems are being developed for
these devices.
So, what functions do new Smart watches perform. Smart
Watches today are being seen as natural extension of Smart
9. Phone and beyond. They interface with the Smart Phone
and display alerts, setup reminders etc. The interfaces can
also be used to share information from Smart Watches
to Smart phone so that Applications on Smart Phone
can use this data(eg ability of Smart Watch to detect
wearers physical activity like walking) and feeding this
information to App which processes this information and
graphically display this as trend.
Smart Watches also have other capabilities like GPS which
can be used for tracking applications. One use include
tracking children and setting up perimeters for them. One
of the older smart watches still being used are Timex
Datalink. These watches have the ability to connect to
Computer and download information like phone numbers,
alarms, etc. These were supposed to replace PDA’s with
added benefi t of being small and comfortable to carry.
However, they were not as successful as expected and
infact PDA’s are also not seen today.
Lets look at current smart watches, understand how they
are built and functionalities that they provide
The top selling smart watch today is Pebbles Smart
Watch. This started off as a Crowd sourcing project(this is
where funding for project is provided by ordinary people
who pledge to support the project by contributing small
amounts and are entitled certain benefi ts) in 2012. The
project met its initial goal on $100,000 in fi rst two hours,
it had collected $10 Mil by the time it closed funding. At
present, Pebble is the best Smart Watch available and they
have sold about 400k pieces. Let us see what Pebble has
to offer:
10. Wrist Wars: Smart Watches vs Traditional Watches 73
Other Major USP are its ability to work seamlessly with
Android and iOS, specially built Apps that add more
features and functionalities to Watch and Battery that lasts
for 5-7 days. The Pebble App store has about 1000 apps
which include different Watch Face, Apps for Cycling,
Running etc.
Features of Smart Watch
So, practically, what does a Smart Watch do? Let’s look
in detail the features that are supported by Smart Watches
today and their usefulnes:
1. Call Notifi cation: Smart watches are capable of
displaying Call Notifi cations. The Watch can dis-
play who is calling and also give you options to
Accept or Reject Call. However, to speak to caller,
one would need the Smart Phone or Blue Tooth
headset connected with the Smart Phone. Some
Smart Watches also allow access to Call Logs &
Phone Menus.
Pros: Useful feature when Smart Phone is not eas-
ily accessible eg when Driving, walking, etc. A
fl ick of wrist and you know who is calling. Further
action like Rejecting call or Pulling over to speak
to person can be decided.
Cons: Most Smart watches donot have ability to
speak and hear via Watch (even those who have,
it is very cumbersome to talk to a watch). This
means Smart Watch only acts as an additional
11. Notifi cation device. This makes Smart Watch
more of an Accessory to Smart Phone rather than a
standalone communication device. Samsung Gear
S which will be released this yearend will have be
able to interact with Mobile networks without con-
necting to Smart Phone.
2. Display Text Messages and Emails: Smart Watches
have ability to display incoming Text Messages
and Emails. One does not need to remove Mobile
Phone from pocket to view these
74 Telecom Business Review: SITM Journal Volume 8 Issue 1
September 2015
Pros: Fast access to incoming messages. Especially
useful if one receives a lot of Messages and need to
respond to few.
Cons: Can only display messages. To respond,
one still needs to use the Smart Phone (Exception
– Some Smart Watches have ability to reply with
pre-confi gured replies or use speack recognition).
There are also problem of Small font & basic dis-
play of messages that make experience seem like
reading messages on feature phone.
3. Collect data via by sensors: Smart Watches also in-
corporate a number of sensors which measure and
store data in Watch or pass it on to Smart Phone.
Some examples are Bio-Metric sensors like Pulse
measurement, Pedeometer, GPS for location
tracking, gyroscope for identifying orientation,
Magnetomer for Compass like applications and
12. Accelerometer for measuring acceleration. These
sensors collect data and can be converted into
Intelligence by either the Smart Phone or Smart
Watch.
Pros: The availability of sensors enables specifi c
use cases like health monitoring. Though, such
sensors may already be available on Smart Phone,
the ability to use these without the hassle of han-
dling a phone, and being continuously connected
to body has its own advantages.
Cons: Limited by available hardware, there is a
constraint on amount of data a Smart Watch can
process and display. For complex calculations and
display, there will be dependency on Smart Phone.
4. Integration with Smart Phone Apps: Smart Watches
also integrate with a number of Apps on Smart
Phone. Types of Apps also depend on the abil-
ity of Smart Phones. Generally Smart Phones are
able to access some Native applications like Music
Control, whereas others may integrate with GPS
on Smart Watch and use location information in-
telligently. Other examples can be Apps that track
distance walked, speed etc. Others include integra-
tion to Twitter notifi cations, Translator Apps, Baby
Sitting apps, display Stock notifi cations, etc.
Pros: Though, all what is being said above can be
done by a Smart phone, the advantage that Smart
watch provides is the ability to do/use all these
apps without having cumbersome phone in your
hands. It also becomes an additional sensor device
for these applications.
13. Cons: No new feature that makes Smart Watch a
must have accessory.
Target Segment for Smart Watch:
Before looking at target segment, lets analyse the various
factors that infl uence a buyers decision
Let’s try and analyse how these factors play out for
someone buying a Smart Watch:
1. Cultural: A Watch is worn on a wrist in all parts
of globe. It is one of the few ornate devices that
are worn by almost all men and women. However,
depending on social class, the watch may be a sim-
ple time keeping device or a device used to show
unique style, stature & wealth of individual.
For Smart Watch, there aren’t any Cultural barriers
that need to be overcome. It is just a watch with
added functionalities. What would be important
are the use cases that Smart Watch support and
Price Point for such devices. One point is sure,
Smart Watches would only appeal to people who
have used a Smart Phone. As they would under-
stand the additional benefi t that Smart Watches
have. There are possibilities that people who do-
not have smart phones, may buy Smart Watches,
but given the capabilities of Smart Watches and
their dependency on Smart phones, this seems
unlikely. Smart Watches are available in Low to
Medium Price range. So, this should make Smart
Watch accessible to broad range of consumers.
2. Social Factors: Buying decisions also depend on
14. Social life & social circle. Some factors that impact
buying are the kind of people/groups we interact
with, our family and social status. If the group that
we hang out with are early adopters of Technology,
then, one would automatically be infl uenced to
keep himself updated with latest technology and
gadgets.
Smart Watch will be an innovative device trying
to build a different segment for itself. The initial
devices are also not up to the mark.So, there may
not be a lot of social infl uence on buyers mind.
However, as this is a new device, there could be
the infl uence of owning the latest device in Social
circle that will infl uence the buyer to buy a Smart
Wrist Wars: Smart Watches vs Traditional Watches 75
Watch. Or, if one has conservative circle, then he
would be infl uenced to wait till these devices be-
come mainstream and then think of buying them.
3. Personal Factors: Some of the Personal Factors that
infl uence buying decisions are Age, Occupation,
Economic situation, Lifestyle and Personality.
What does one think of the product, the usefulness,
the benefi t it will have, all these will affect buying
decisions.
Personal Factors will be hard to understand as
these would depend person to person. Some pos-
sible external factors that will help us understand
behaviour patterns will be the type of functional-
ities available on Watch, the price points and the
15. Buzz the devices can generate. If rumours are to
be believed, Apples Smart Watch will have health
monitoring system. This could be something
which fi tness junkies or people who need continu-
ous monitoring will be really interested in. That
said, someone who has resources and is interesting
in evaluating new technology will surely be inter-
ested in investing in a Smart Watch.
4. Physiological factors: From Physiological per-
spective, factors like Motivation, Perception and
Beliefs come into play. These may be different for
different people. How does one perceive a new
product completely depends on person’s indepen-
dent thoughts and belief system.
Let us try and analyse this a little further. Motivation
to buy a smart watch may be two fold, a. To buy a
new gadget that has certain additional capabilities
than a Watch( is safe to assume that almost all who
would want a watch will have a watch),
b. One would like to buy smart watch as additional
watch to add variety to existing watches that one
has. Perception may be different for different peo-
ple. Some will perceive Smart Watch as a forceful
iteration of a classic gadget and may be completely
turned- off. This behaviour will also be compound-
ed by fact that almost all functionalities of Smart
Watch will be available in Smart Phone. Other per-
spective will be where users will identify with the
additional benefi ts that smart watches provide over
other devices and see value.
Given this understanding, it would be safe to as-
sume following for Target Segment:
16. - Initial uptake will be done by early adopters of
Technology till Smart Watches are widely avail-
able and accepted
- Users will be directly proportional to the number
and type of use cases that Smart watch supports
- Smart watches will try to target existing Lower to
Middle Segment of existing Watch market
- Consumers who use Smart Phone/Smart Devices
would be the main users of Smart Watch
Market Analysis:
Let’s now try an look at some market fi gures and try to
understand what could be the impact of Smart Watches
on Watch Industry. We will take reference of Swiss Watch
industry due to readily available data points.
Main Export Markets for Swiss Watch Industry
Split of Electric and Mechanical Movements for Swiss
industry for 2013
Distribution of Revenues for Swiss Watches based on
Selling Price(for 2013)
76 Telecom Business Review: SITM Journal Volume 8 Issue 1
September 2015
Distribution of Swiss watches based on Selling Price(for
2013)
17. Some Observations:
1. Swiss Watch go to every corner of the world. Growth
in some markets in positive while negative in some
markets.
2. The percentage of Electric watches is almost 3 times
higher than mechanical watches
3. Majority(65%) of the watches produced by Swiss in-
dustry are sold at around USD 200
4. However, 65% of Revenue for Swiss Watch indus-
try comes from expensive luxury pieces costing USD
3000+
Some Facts about Smart Watch industry
Some Interpretations:
- The Smart Watch industry is expected to grow
ten’s of times each year for next few years
- With an assumption of $200 as average price of
Smart Watch, for year 2016, it is expected that 70
Mil units will be sold and Industry will be worth
USD 15 Billion
- Comparing with Traditional Watch Industry, which
is worth USD 60 Bil, Smart Watch industry does
pose a threat at $200 level market.
- Above said, how much will Smart Watch industry
cannibalize existing Traditional Watch market is
18. Wrist Wars: Smart Watches vs Traditional Watches 77
not clear. It is also possible that it may add to Total
Revenues by adding on top of Watch Industry
Revenues. This is possible if one believes in hav-
ing multiple watches for different activities and
use.
- Expensive Mechanical watches should not face
threat as they have established their niche as
Luxury Product line in market. They serve dif-
ferent customer base and that may not deviate to-
wards smart watch. Even if, someone in this cus-
tomer segment buys a buy Smart Watch, it would
not be either/or decision.
- However, with even traditional Watch Making
companies planning to release Smart watches,
the exact impact on topline-bottom line of Watch
Companies will be clearer only in next few years
(eg Intel has tied-up with Fossil to create Smart
Watch)
- With currently about 40 companies developing
Smart Watches (this number is expected to go till
200), there will be various use cases which will be
targeted by these companies. In this chaos, there
will be a few handful of use cases and companies
that will fi nally make the cut. A lot also depends
on scalability of production lines for these devic-
es. Smaller companies may have interesting use
cases but may not be able to scale up production/
Marketing/Selling activities to capture major share
19. - Given the limitations of Smart Watch (low battery
life, water protection, etc), there will always be use
cases which require Traditional Watches. So, con-
sumers may have (quite a few even today have)
multiple watches for multiple purposes
Where would we see impact of smart watches the most.
The easiest guess is in Healthcare industry where demand
of continuous monitoring will be drivers. Some other
areas that have been identifi ed are shown above. This has
been compiled by www.smartwatchgroup.com:
So, given the simple task of telling time becomes
secondary and additional functionalities take prime
estate on hand, the success of Smart Watch will depend
completely on the Use Cases that it is built for and that
will drive primary sales.
One of the latest announcements is of Smart Watch
from Apple. Termed as “Apple Watch”, it has major
focus towards Healthcare and Wellness Applications.
Supporting software has also been created for iPhone so
that both these work seamlessly. The initial videos do paint
an extremely appealing picture with lots of functionalities.
Their focus of pitching this as independent device and
78 Telecom Business Review: SITM Journal Volume 8 Issue 1
September 2015
not as a perifery to existing Smart Phone should help its
cause. It would be really interesting to see if this watch
is the breakthorough that revolutionies and pushes Smart
Watch industry towards its predicted growth.
20. Conc�usion
Smart watches signify next evolutionary leap in Smart
Devices. Smart Wearable devices which remain on person
for major part of day and help interacting with Physical
and Digital world should turn a lot of heads. As this is a
new market, there is no tried and tested winning formula.
However, one thing is sure that this is an extremly
interesting device that would be explored by lots of
people. The availability of various and distinct use cases
that device can do will directly impact Sales. Till the time
a leader is clearly identifi ed with mass market proposition,
the industry will be fragemented and we should see
plathora of devices satisfying diverse use cases.
For Traditional Watch industry, Smart Watches should
come as a Wake up call. At present, it doesnot seem as
a major disruptor due to lack of acceptability, high entry
barriers (Watch + Mobile combination), low battery life(as
compared to currnet watches), etc to overall industry.
We are also seeing interest of major Tech Companies in
development of Smart watches. This should surely throw
a lot of interesting propositions to consumers. The High
End Traditional Watch Market dominated by Mechanical
Watches may not be inpacted by Smart Watch growth, but
the mid segment watch makers should keep a very close
tab on this as this is the market that will heat up.

UNIT x STUDY GUIDE
Title
We begin our discussion with demand. In economics, demand
refers to how much consumers are both willing
and able to purchase at each price over a specific period of time
(McEachern, 2019). Every element of this
definition is important when discussing demand. First, take a
30. look at the words “willing and able to purchase.”
You may be willing to purchase a new car; however, you may
not be able to purchase a new car because you
do not have enough funds in your bank account. Likewise, you
may be able to purchase the newest cell
phone, but you may not be willing to purchase the newest cell
phone because your current cell phone is
working just fine. Demand in macroeconomics shows us how
much all consumers are both willing and able to
purchase an item.
Next, we have the words, “at each price.” The demand curve
shows us how much of an item all consumers
are willing and able to purchase over a range of prices. For
instance, the demand curve for a new cell phone
will show us how many will be purchased at various prices.
Specifically, a demand curve might show us that
1,000 new cell phones will be purchased per month in a
community if the price is $199.99 per cell phone.
However, if the price equals $999.99 per cell phone, only 200
new cell phones will be purchased.
Suppose that we have two points, A and B, representing the
demand situations mentioned above: Point A
corresponds to 1,000 cell phones being purchased at a price of
31. $199.99 per phone, while Point B
corresponds to 200 cell phones being purchased at a price of
$999.99 per cell phone. We can now plot these
two points on a graph with the price of a new cell phone on the
vertical axis and the number of new cell
phones purchased on the horizontal axis. This is a drawing of
the demand curve for cell phones in the
community. Usually a demand curve will slope downward and
to the right like the one on our graph below
(because of the law of demand).
The drawing of the demand curve shows us not only the two end
points but every amount that will be
purchased at prices in between those end points. For instance,
from the graph above, we could say that if the
price was equal to $499.99 per phone, 500 cell phones would be
purchased. Likewise, if the price was
$399.99 per phone, 400 cell phones would be purchased. All
price and quantity combinations are represented
along this demand curve for cell phones.
This also brings us to a very important point. When we move
from Point A to Point B, we say we have a
32. movement along the demand curve. This is also called a change
in quantity demanded. This same
terminology applies for any change in price and quantity. What
this means is that only a change in the price of
a good can cause a movement along the demand curve (change
in quantity demanded) for that good. For an
explanation of the demand curve, watch this brief video
Demand. A transcript and closed captioning are
available once you access the video.

UNIT x STUDY GUIDE
Title
The last important piece of information in the definition of
33. demand is “over a specific period of time.” The
demand curve we have drawn for new cell phone purchases in a
community will only be for a specific period
of time (a year, a month, etc.). Our demand curve will only be
valid during that time period. Once the defined
period of time has passed, the demand curve will not be valid
anymore. For instance, 20 years ago, a
demand curve for cell phones in a community probably looked a
lot different from the demand curve today.
Thus, the demand curve is only valid for a specific period of
time.
The next concept addressed is the law of demand. The law of
demand suggests that quantity demanded is
inversely (or negatively) related to price as long as nothing else
changes (McEachern, 2019). What this
means is that more will be purchased at lower prices, and less
will be purchased at higher prices as long as
the only thing that changes is price. The graphic above of the
demand curve for new cell phones shows the
law of demand at work. The only thing changing in this graph is
the price of new cell phones. When the price
was high ($999.99), quantity purchased was low (200 new cell
phones). When the price was low ($199.99),
the quantity of new cell phones purchased was higher (1,000
34. new cell phones).
You may have noticed that the words “as long as nothing else
changes” was added to the law of demand.
Remember, in economics, we try to keep things simple. Here,
we are assuming that price and quantity are the
only two things changing. However, we know that everything
does not remain constant. If any factor other
than the price and quantity changes, the demand curve that has
been drawn will no longer be valid. When
another factor changes, the demand curve will move to another
location. This is called a shift of the demand
curve. We can also say demand has changed. When the demand
curve shifts to the right, we say demand
has increased. When the demand curve shifts to the left, we say
demand has decreased. See below for an
illustration of these two situations.
There are only five factors that can cause the demand curve to
shift. These factors include changes in
consumer incomes, the price of other goods, consumer
expectations, the number of consumers, and
consumer tastes. For example, a city that sees a 50% increase in
35. population of adults will see the demand
curve for housing in the city shift to the right (demand has
increased).
ECO 2302, Principles of Macroeconomics 4
UNIT x STUDY GUIDE
Title
Pay special attention to these factors that can
cause the demand curve to shift as you read
through the chapter. Also, the video Shifts of the
Demand Curve explains this concept. A
transcript and closed captioning are available
once you access the video.
Supply is another cornerstone economic term.
36. From McEachern (2019), we find that supply
refers to how much producers are willing and
able to offer for sale over a specific period of
time. Like demand, each word in this definition
matters, as producers might be able to provide a
good but might not be willing to provide the good
(and vice versa). Similar to demand, supply is
for a specified period of time.
The law of supply is just the opposite of the law
of demand. The law of supply suggests that the quantity
supplied is usually directly related to price as long as
other things do not change (McEachern, 2019). What this means
is that producers will supply more of a good
at higher prices and less of a good at lower prices.
Think back to our cell phone example above. When the price of
a cell phone is $999.99, producers would be
more willing to sell more than if the price were $199.99. This is
because producers have the potential to earn
more profit when prices are higher. For example, let’s say when
the price of cell phones is $999.99, producers
are willing and able to supply 1,000 cell phones (Point A).
When the price is equal to $199.99, however,
37. producers are willing and able to supply 200 cell phones (Point
B). A drawing of the supply curve can be
made similar to what we did above with the demand curve.
Unlike the demand curve, which slopes downward
and to the right, the supply curve will slope upward and to the
right (because of the law of supply).

UNIT x STUDY GUIDE
Title
When we move from one point to another on the supply curve,
38. economists say we have a change in quantity
supplied. A movement along the curve to the right means that
there is an increase in quantity supplied. A
movement along the supply curve to the left means there is a
decrease in quantity supplied. Notice that price
and quantity are the only two factors being examined here. This
means that the price of a good is the only
thing that can cause a movement along the supply curve (a
change in quantity supplied). Again, we are
assuming that nothing changes other than the price of the good.
More information that helps explain the
supply curve is provided in the video Supply. A transcript and
closed captioning are available once you
access the video.
There are factors, though, that can cause the supply curve to
move to a new location. When the supply curve
moves to a new location, economists say the supply curve has
shifted. When the supply curve shifts to the
left, economists say supply has decreased. When the supply
curve shifts to the right, economists say supply
has increased.
39. There are five factors that can cause
the supply curve to shift. These
factors are changes in technology,
resource (or input) prices, the price of
other goods, producer expectations,
and the number of producers. For
example, if the price of wheat
increases, the supply curve for bread
would shift to the left (decrease)
because wheat is used as an
ingredient (input) in the production of
bread. Since the price of an input has
increased, producers will make less
money making bread. That means
producers will supply less bread to
the market.
All the factors that can cause the
supply curve to shift are explained in
the textbook as well as in the video
Shifts of the Supply Curve. A
transcript and closed captioning are
available once you access the video.

Title
Make sure you go over the examples in the textbook as well as
in the videos as it is very important to
understand the differences between a change in quantity
demanded and a change in demand as well as the
differences between a change in quantity supplied and a change
in supply. Also, remember that a change in
the price of a good is the only thing that can cause a movement
along the demand and supply curves.
Additionally, review and put to memory those factors that can
41. cause the demand and supply curves to shift.
Equilibrium is probably the easiest concept to learn here.
Equilibrium is where the supply and demand curves
cross. When at equilibrium, the quantity supplied is exactly
equal to the quantity demanded, and prices are
stable. Pay special attention to the reading regarding shortages
and surpluses and how those are created, as
they tie back to the concept of equilibrium. You can find further
help with understanding equilibrium by viewing
the video Equilibrium. A transcript and closed captioning are
available once you access the video.
As we know, the demand and supply curves can shift. When a
shift of the supply or demand curve occurs,
equilibrium moves to a new location. If the supply curve shifts
to the right (and the demand curve does not
shift), the equilibrium price will be lower and the equilibrium
quantity will be higher. If the demand curve shifts
to the left, the new equilibrium price will be lower and the
equilibrium quantity will be lower as well. Review
how shifts of the supply and demand curve affect equilibrium in
the textbook as well as in the video Shifts in
42. Supply and Demand on Equilibrium. A transcript and closed
captioning are available once you access the
video.
As you go through this unit, look at goods around you, and
think about the supply and demand of those
goods. Has the demand and or supply curve of that good shifted
over time? How has equilibrium price and
quantity changed?
