"We wanted to see where the U.S. minimum wage ranked on an international scale, so we took a fairly well-known indicator – the Big Mac Index – and compared burger prices to minimum wages in different countries," says the ConvergEx team.
D-Mart is an Indian supermarket chain started in 2002 with a philosophy of providing customers what they want at low prices. It focuses on serving the middle class with daily necessities at prices below MRP through strategies like low overhead costs, direct supplier relationships, and efficient warehouse-like stores. D-Mart has seen success operating this low-cost model in Western and Southern India and plans to primarily expand within existing regions to maintain tight control over real estate and distribution costs as it faces growing competition from other retailers and online players.
This document discusses elasticity of demand, including definitions and types. It defines elasticity as measuring the responsiveness of one variable to changes in another. There are different types of elasticity depending on what is changing, such as price elasticity (responsiveness of demand to price changes), income elasticity (responsiveness of demand to income changes), and cross elasticity (responsiveness of demand for one good to price changes in another good). The document discusses concepts like perfectly inelastic, perfectly elastic, and unit elastic demand curves, and provides examples of goods that fall under each category. It also outlines factors that influence a good's price elasticity and significance of understanding elasticities.
The document discusses various tools and methods for analyzing industries, including qualitative and quantitative approaches. Qualitative approaches include analyzing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of an industry and its competitive landscape over the industry life cycle. Quantitative approaches include analyzing employment data, emolument (pay) data, and input-output relationships to understand industry performance and risk over time. The goal of industry analysis is to identify investment opportunities and understand how industries will perform in the future economic environment.
Reverse innovation is developing products and services in emerging markets first before introducing them to developed markets. General Electric's Vijay Govindarajan coined the term. Products tailored for emerging markets can form platforms for new global products. Typically companies start by removing expensive features from existing products for emerging markets. Reverse innovation leads to locally-created products in emerging markets that are later upgraded for developed markets if successful. Examples include Tata's low-cost Nano car and a cheaper electrocardiogram machine developed in India and now sold globally. Limitations include income, infrastructure, and sustainability gaps between emerging and developed markets.
Income elasticity of Demand Managerial EconomicsNethan P
The document defines income elasticity of demand as the percentage change in quantity demanded of a good due to a percentage change in consumer income. It is calculated as the percentage change in demand divided by the percentage change in income. Income elasticity can be positive, negative, or zero depending on whether demand increases, decreases, or stays the same with increasing income. Goods are classified as normal, inferior, or luxury based on whether their income elasticity is positive and greater than, less than, or equal to one.
The document discusses strategies for disruptive and integrative innovation. It presents several tools for analyzing markets, technologies, industries and value chains. These include analyzing jobs to be done by customers, disruptive innovation theory, and value chain evolution. The theory of integrative innovation is introduced as combining multiple jobs in a simple, easy to use way to create new market opportunities, such as with the iPhone. An end-to-end process is outlined for using these tools and theories to generate new innovative ideas.
This document discusses key concepts related to demand and supply, including:
1) Demand and supply schedules show the relationship between price and quantity at different price levels. Demand and supply curves graph this relationship.
2) A change in a non-price factor like income causes a shift of the demand or supply curve, while a price change results in movement along the curve.
3) Equilibrium occurs where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. Price controls can result in surpluses or shortages from the equilibrium.
4) Elasticity measures the responsiveness of one variable to changes in another. It is used to analyze how changes in price or other factors affect revenue and consumer behavior.

This document provides an overview of principles of economics taught by Professor Michael Noel at the University of Mindanao. It defines key economic concepts like scarcity, opportunity cost, and production possibility frontier (PPF). The PPF illustrates the tradeoffs between producing different goods that arise from limited or scarce resources. A downward sloping or concave PPF shows increasing opportunity costs as more is produced of one good and less of another. Changes in available resources can cause the PPF to shift left, right, up or down.
The document discusses D'Mart, a leading Indian retail chain. It outlines D'Mart's growth strategy, strengths like everyday low pricing, and weaknesses like slower expansion. Big Bazaar is a key competitor, with strengths like a wide product range but weaknesses in meeting store targets. The retail industry in India is growing rapidly, presenting opportunities for expansion into new areas. Online retailers and unorganized stores pose threats. Effective supply chain management is important for D'Mart's continued success.
Price change income and substittution effectsBhupendra Bule
1) Economists separate the impact of a price change into a substitution effect and income effect. The substitution effect is due to changes in relative prices, while the income effect is due to changes in purchasing power.
2) There are two main methods to decompose the price effect: the Hicksian method and the Slutsky method. The Hicksian method isolates the substitution effect by holding utility constant, while the Slutsky method does so by holding purchasing power constant.
3) For normal goods, the substitution and income effects reinforce each other, ensuring demand falls when price rises. Rare inferior goods can see opposing effects, potentially causing demand to rise with price - known as Giffen goods.
Demand is defined as the desire for a commodity supported by the ability and willingness to pay for it. The law of demand states that demand increases when price decreases and decreases when price increases, with other factors held constant. Demand can be individual, family-level, or market-level. A demand schedule shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded at different price levels, while a demand curve graphs this relationship. Elasticity measures the responsiveness of demand or supply to changes in factors like price and income. The different types of elasticity include price elasticity, income elasticity, cross elasticity, and advertising elasticity.
The document discusses disruptive innovation and describes Godrej's development of the Chotukool portable refrigerator. Some key points:
1) Disruptive innovations are inferior on attributes valued by mainstream customers initially but have other unique features appreciated by niche customers. They start in low-end or new markets and eventually displace incumbents.
2) Godrej developed the Chotukool mini-fridge priced at $69 using cooling chips instead of a compressor. It was portable, lightweight, and energy efficient.
3) The Chotukool targeted rural Indian markets where refrigerator penetration was only 18%, representing a large potential market. It aimed to provide value to people like food sellers through its affordable price
Demand forecasting involves anticipating future demand for a company's products and services under uncertain competitive conditions. It is essential for production planning, purchasing raw materials, and other business decisions. Demand can be forecasted qualitatively using opinion surveys of consumers, salespeople, and experts, or quantitatively using statistical techniques like trend projection, regression analysis, and econometrics that analyze historical demand data and its relationships to economic indicators. Accurate demand forecasting is important for production planning, inventory control, sales forecasting, budgeting, and long-term growth strategies.
D-Mart is a chain of 136 hypermarkets and supermarkets across India founded by RK Damani in 2000. It has the highest sales per store of any grocery chain in India at Rs. 53 crore on average and an overall sales turnover of Rs. 11,500 crores as of 2017, making it the largest branded retail chain in the country. D-Mart had a very successful IPO in 2017, raising Rs. 1,870 crores and seeing its stock price rise over 100% on listing day to make its founder one of the richest people in India. It employs a low-cost model through owned properties, efficient cost control, and favorable supplier terms.
- A monopoly is a sole seller in a market that faces a downward-sloping demand curve. It is a price maker unlike competitive firms.
- A monopoly maximizes profits by producing where marginal revenue equals marginal cost and charging a price above marginal cost.
- This results in a lower quantity and higher price than would be socially optimal, causing deadweight loss.
- Governments address monopoly power through antitrust laws, regulation, or public ownership to increase competition and efficiency.
The Law of Variable Proportions states that as the quantity of one variable input is increased while holding other inputs fixed, total product will initially rise at an increasing rate, then at a decreasing rate, and eventually at a negative rate. It operates in the short-run when some factors can vary and others are fixed. The law is demonstrated through a schedule that shows as labor is incrementally increased from 1 to 6 units, total product first increases, then increases at a lower rate, and eventually decreases, moving from phases of increasing, diminishing, and negative returns.
The document discusses the different components of a business environment. It describes the business environment as consisting of internal and external factors. The internal environment refers to conditions within an organization that can be controlled by management, such as employees and organizational structure. The external environment consists of forces outside the organization's control that affect its performance, including the political-legal, economic, socio-cultural, and technological environment as well as specific industry forces like customers and competitors. Each component of the business environment is complex and dynamic, with the potential to significantly impact business operations.
The Cobb-Douglas production function is widely used to model the relationship between output and two inputs, labor and capital. It takes the form of P(L,K) = B*L^α*K^β, where P is total production, L is labor input, K is capital input, B is total factor productivity, and α and β are output elasticities. The function was formulated by Cobb and Douglas based on statistical evidence showing how U.S. output and the two inputs changed together from 1889-1920. It has since been widely applied despite some criticisms around its lack of microeconomic foundations.
The document provides an overview of Reliance Mart, a 165,000 square foot retail store located in Ahmedabad, India. It offers over 95,000 products across several categories including food, consumer goods, consumer durables, automotive accessories and lifestyle products. Key strengths include its large size and product selection, affordable prices, and unique on-site services. The store aims to provide customers an international shopping experience through its layout, product range, and distribution network which utilizes cross-docking and real-time inventory updates. However, weaknesses include its lack of customer focus and specialty sections.
HUL's strategy focuses on the core business, offering low prices, and having an Indian connection. The strategies are formulated at multiple levels, including the corporate, operational, business, and functional levels. While Unilever's revenues come from food and HUL focuses on home and personal care with lower prices tailored for India, a shift in strategic decision-making from India to Unilever's headquarters could disadvantage HUL by hindering its understanding of the Indian market and consumers.

- The brand focuses on herbal and ayurvedic products made in India to promote nationalism. It aims to replace foreign brands.
- Baba Ramdev acts as the brand ambassador appealing to patriotism and traditional Indian values.
- The target audience is middle class households seeking affordable alternatives to premium brands.
Monopolistic Equilibrium in short and long runShakti Yadav
In the short run, a monopolistically competitive firm will produce at the quantity where marginal cost equals marginal revenue to maximize profits. This occurs at a price above average cost, resulting in abnormal profits. In the long run, entry of new firms shifts individual demand curves down and costs curves up, eliminating abnormal profits so firms only earn normal profits where price equals average cost, establishing equilibrium.

This document provides an overview of key concepts in managerial economics. It discusses the relationship between managerial economics and other disciplines like economics, operational research, accountancy, mathematics, statistics, psychology, and management theory. Microeconomics studies individual actors in markets while macroeconomics looks at whole economies. The document outlines differences between micro and macroeconomics. Finally, it explores important economic concepts used in managerial decision making, including incremental concepts, time perspective, discounting, opportunity costs, equimarginal principle, contribution concept, and negotiation principle.
The document provides information on Godrej's diverse product portfolio across multiple industries including FMCG, appliances, furniture, security, agriculture, real estate, and industrial engineering. It outlines the various product classes, lines, types, and examples within each industry family. The product mix includes items at various price points to serve broad customer segments.
Laws are rules that are recognized as binding by the governing authority in a society or state. They aim to guide behavior, and if broken, can result in punishment being enforced through the court system or other government agencies. The development of laws plays an important role in regulating human interactions and maintaining order, safety, and justice within a community.
The document discusses factors that cause fluctuations in exchange rates between currencies. Exchange rates change when the values of the component currencies change due to shifts in supply and demand. Demand for a currency can increase due to greater transaction or speculative demand. Transaction demand is correlated with economic activity while speculative demand depends on interest rates. Other factors like inflation also impact exchange rates. Exchange rate fluctuations affect international trade and investment returns.
The Big Mac Index, published by The Economist since 1986, uses the price of a McDonald's Big Mac burger in different countries as a lighthearted way to measure purchasing power parity and determine if currencies are undervalued or overvalued. The index compares the local price of a Big Mac in one country to the price in the United States, with large differences suggesting the local currency may not be at an optimal level against the U.S. dollar based on purchasing power. For example, when the average Big Mac price in the U.S. was $4.37 and in China was $2.87, the index estimated the Chinese yuan was undervalued by 41% at that time based on purchasing power.

Globalization has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include increased standards of living in developing countries, greater global competition spurring innovation, and governments collaborating on common goals. However, disadvantages are outsourcing leaving many without jobs, little regulation resulting in safety and environmental issues, cultural blending causing loss of unique characteristics, and Western-focused development sometimes failing in non-Western nations. In conclusion, globalization creates both winners and losers, so people will have differing views on if it is good or bad.

Authors: Christoph Forstner, Simon Kilian, Christopher Karlsson. Based on the World Development Report 2009.
LIBOR is the average interest rate that large global banks charge each other for short-term loans. It is calculated daily for 10 currencies based on submissions from a panel of banks and serves as a benchmark for pricing various financial instruments including mortgages, corporate loans, and interest rate derivatives. The prime rate is the interest rate that banks charge their most creditworthy corporate customers and is used as a benchmark to measure other lending rates.
The document discusses the Libor rate manipulation scandal that occurred from 2005-2009. It describes how Barclays and other banks artificially inflated or deflated their Libor submissions to profit from trades or appear more creditworthy. This manipulation impacted global financial markets and cost governments billions. The scandal was not properly addressed by regulators despite early awareness of inaccurate submissions. Barclays was ultimately fined over $500 million for its role in the scandal in 2012.
LIBOR is the London Interbank Offer Rate that underpins trillions of dollars in financial instruments like mortgages, loans, and derivatives. It was revealed in 2007-2008 that banks had been manipulating LIBOR submissions since 1991 for profit. Regulators fined banks over $6 billion, including Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan $2.3 billion, and Barclays $453 million, for their roles in the LIBOR rigging scandal that affected markets globally.
The document discusses reasons for fluctuations in exchange rates. Exchange rates represent the value of one currency relative to another and fluctuate due to supply and demand forces in the currency market. Key factors that influence exchange rate fluctuations include interest rates, a country's trade balance, money supply and inflation levels, economic growth rates, and foreign debt levels. These various economic factors are interlinked and influence each other, collectively driving changes in exchange rates over time.
The document discusses the LIBOR scandal where it was discovered that several major banks had manipulated the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for financial gain between 2005-2009. LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate used globally in contracts worth trillions of dollars. The scandal arose when it was found that banks had falsely inflated or deflated their LIBOR submissions to profit off trades or give the impression they were more creditworthy. This manipulation impacted homeowners, municipalities, and other entities. Several banks including Barclays were fined billions and lawsuits were filed against many of the banks involved totaling over $40 billion. The scandal led to calls for reforming how LIBOR is set and regulated.
The document discusses using Eurodollar futures and interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk for loans with variable interest rates. It provides examples of how a borrower could use these instruments to create synthetic fixed rate loans and protect against rising interest rates. By entering offsetting positions in the futures market, the borrower can lock in rates and reduce uncertainty, while the lender can better manage its own interest rate risk exposure.
The document discusses commodity markets in India. It provides background on the history and development of commodity exchanges in India, including some of the earliest organized futures markets in cotton, oilseeds, and wheat dating back to the late 19th century. It then describes the major participants in commodity markets, including hedgers who use futures markets to manage price risk, speculators who trade based on price expectations, and arbitrageurs.
Fixed vs floating exchange rate systemPankaj Newar
This document discusses and compares fixed and floating exchange rate systems. Under a fixed exchange rate system, a country's currency is pegged to another currency at a fixed rate. This stabilizes currency values but the system is vulnerable to speculation. Most currencies now float freely based on supply and demand. A floating exchange rate allows independent monetary policy and automatic balance of payments adjustments. While no system is definitively better, advanced economies tend to use floating rates while developing economies may benefit more from fixed rates initially.
This document discusses factors that affect foreign exchange rates, including relative inflation rates between countries, interest rates, international trade balances, foreign currency supply, and net international reserves of a country. Floating and managed exchange rate regimes are also covered. The author predicts that the Egyptian pound will face challenges maintaining its value against the US dollar in 2009 due to declining factors like international reserves and an increasing trade deficit, and may depreciate to reach 6 Egyptian pounds per US dollar by the end of the year.
This paper develops an equilibrium model of the determination of exchange rates and prices of goods. Changes in relative prices due to supply or demand shifts induce changes in exchange rates and deviations from purchasing power parity. These changes may create a correlation between the exchange rate and the terms of trade, but this correlation cannot be exploited by governments to affect the terms of trade through foreign exchange market operations. The model emphasizes the role of relative price changes due to real disturbances and how these changes affect both exchange rates and the terms of trade through shifts in supply and demand. Government interventions in foreign exchange markets cannot influence exchange rates if the relationship between exchange rates and terms of trade is due to shifts in real supply and demand for domestic and foreign goods.
The document defines foreign exchange and foreign exchange markets. It discusses the key participants in foreign exchange markets including individuals, firms, banks, governments, and international agencies. It also outlines some of the main functions and determinants of foreign exchange markets. Long-term determinants include balance of payments, relative economic strength, interest rates, inflation, money supply, and national income. Short-term determinants include central bank intervention, export/import payments and flows, foreign investment flows, political factors, speculation, and capital movements. The document also provides context on the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) in India.
This document discusses foreign exchange rates and their determination. It explains that foreign exchange rates are the rates at which one country's currency can be converted into another's. These rates are determined by currency supply and demand in global foreign exchange markets. The key factors that influence supply and demand - and thus exchange rates - include interest rates, inflation rates, government budgets, and political stability. The document also outlines different exchange rate systems like fixed, floating, and managed rates.
