The Dodd Frank & Derivatives market - Chapter 09
The Dodd-Frank Act introduced major reforms to the US financial system in 2010 following the 2008 crisis. It established new regulations for the derivatives market, including standardized products being traded on electronic platforms and cleared through central counterparties. Key market players like swap dealers and major swap participants must register with the CFTC or SEC. The Act introduced new entities like swap execution facilities, trade repositories, and designated clearing organizations. It also included provisions like the Volcker Rule and push-out rule to restrict certain bank activities and systemic risk. Overall, the reforms aimed to increase transparency, oversight, and stability in the derivatives market.

GBS CH 2 MANAGING INDUSTRY COMPETITION
This document discusses industry competition and Porter's five forces framework. It begins with definitions of industry and the structure-conduct-performance model. It then explains Porter's five competitive forces that shape industry competition - the threat of new entrants, power of suppliers and buyers, threat of substitutes, and rivalry among existing competitors. The document also discusses generic strategies of cost leadership, differentiation, focus, and speed. Finally, it covers the tensions between global integration and local responsiveness, and how the integration-responsiveness grid can help companies address these pressures.
Barriers to Entry in Markets
There are several barriers that can prevent firms from entering or leaving markets. Barriers to entry include economies of scale, brand loyalty, control of important technologies, expertise and reputation. Strategic entry deterrence by existing firms includes hostile takeovers, product differentiation, capacity expansions, and predatory pricing. Patents provide monopoly power but can also stifle competition. Innovation is both a barrier, through property rights, and an enabler, by reducing barriers. Process innovation lowers costs. Established firms have cost advantages from learning, integration, customer retention, and monopsony power. Legal barriers include licenses, patents, franchises, and import controls.
Presentation Competitive Innovation
The document discusses the importance of competitive innovation for companies to succeed. It defines competitive innovation as making changes through new methods, ideas, or products to be as good as or better than competitors. The document uses examples like Garmin and TomTom navigations systems to show how falling behind in innovation can hurt market share and revenue. It also discusses concepts like disruptive innovation and the need for companies to continuously innovate or risk becoming obsolete.
Pricing
The document discusses different market structures and pricing under each structure. It covers the four main market structures: perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. For each structure, it describes characteristics like number of firms, entry barriers, product differentiation. It then discusses pricing determination. Under perfect competition, firms are price takers and price equals marginal cost. Under monopoly, the single firm influences price by adjusting output to where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. Under monopolistic competition, in the short run firms maximize profits where marginal revenue equals marginal cost, and in the long run price equals average cost.

This document discusses different market structures: monopoly, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. It provides details on:
- Monopolistic competition is characterized by many firms producing differentiated products and competing on quality, price, and marketing. There is free entry and exit into the industry.
- Firms in monopolistic competition operate at excess capacity and charge a price above marginal cost in the long-run.
- Oligopoly is a market with a small number of firms where each firm's actions impact others. It can lead to interdependent behavior and the temptation for firms to collude.
Diskusi 3. bahasa inggris
The document discusses the advantages and challenges of being a first mover in business. It provides examples of companies that benefited from first mover advantage like Lockheed Martin, Volkswagen, and Royal Dutch Shell. However, it also notes that first mover advantage does not always occur, and there can be disadvantages if barriers to entry are low or skills/knowledge can be easily replicated. Later entrants may benefit from the first movers' investments and mistakes. To survive as a first mover, companies need to target the mass market, drive down costs through scale, build strong brands to reduce risk, and create alliances to control resources and complementary goods.
ECONOMICS
This document discusses formal economic models of market structure, including perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition. It explains the key assumptions and implications of each model. Specifically, it describes how market structure determines pricing and profitability in the short and long run. While simplified, these models provide a framework to analyze how industry factors like entry barriers, product differentiation, and competitor behavior impact market outcomes. The limitations are that real industries are more complex and the models examine only specific scenarios.
Boing Vs Airbus Duopoly
The document discusses the duopoly between Boeing and Airbus in the commercial aircraft manufacturing industry. It begins by defining a duopoly as a market controlled by two companies. It then provides characteristics of a duopoly such as two firms controlling the majority of market share and price competition depending on quantity supplied by each firm. The document analyzes the commercial aircraft industry specifically, noting how mergers have consolidated it into just Boeing and Airbus. It discusses aspects of their competition like diversified product portfolios, regulations around safety, and how prices and strategies are determined. Finally, it reinforces that a duopoly has two producers dominating one market, which is the current situation between Boeing and Airbus.
Economy
The document discusses similarities and differences between monopolistic competition and Islamic economics. Both allow for free entry and exit of firms in the long run, and both see some role for government involvement. However, they differ in their views on pricing of goods, welfare of society, and advertising. Specifically, Islamic economics aims to maximize social welfare rather than just firm profits, and prohibits certain types of advertising.
The World of Imperfect Competition
This document provides an overview of imperfect competition, specifically monopolistic competition and oligopolies/duopolies. It begins with definitions and key characteristics of these market structures. Monopolistic competition is described as having many firms that produce differentiated products and face elastic demand curves. Firms engage in non-price competition through advertising and branding. The document uses hotels as an example. Oligopolies and duopolies are described as having only a few firms, where each firm's decisions significantly impact competitors. Game theory is used to demonstrate mutual dependence between firms. The tendency for collusion but its illegality is also discussed.
Honda
The document analyzes Honda's operations and marketing strategies in the European automobile market. It finds that Honda failed to understand important cultural differences across European countries and treated Europe as a single market. It also had a weak brand image, a standardized marketing approach, and a narrow product line. The recommendations include customizing marketing strategies and the mix for each country, expanding the product range, and allocating more resources to change negative brand perceptions.

The unit covers fundamental topics like scarcity, opportunity costs, production possibilities curves, comparative advantage, and different economic systems. It lists the relevant state standards, reading assignments from the textbook, planned lectures, activities, worksheets, tests and graphs to be completed. The unit objectives are to understand key microeconomic terms and concepts and learn how to interpret graphs related to production, costs and trade.
Marketstructure
The document discusses different market structures including perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition. It describes the key characteristics of each structure such as the number of firms, product differentiation, barriers to entry, and firm behavior. Perfect competition has many small firms, identical products, and firms are price takers. A monopoly has a single dominant firm with barriers to entry. Oligopoly is dominated by a small number of large firms where behavior is interdependent. Monopolistic competition has many differentiated products and easy entry/exit.

The Relationship between Competition and Innovation – Álvaro Parra – June 202...OECD Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs
- Coordination between firms through mergers or common ownership can impact competitors' incentives to innovate. If coordination reduces market competition, it increases competitors' profits and discourages their research and development efforts.
- Coordination also affects firms' incentives to invest in their own innovation. By internalizing gains from coordination, firms' incremental profits from successful innovation decrease, reducing their R&D incentives.
- Firms with monopsony power over suppliers can manipulate input purchases and prices to influence suppliers' R&D incentives, such as by decreasing current purchases and prices to pressure suppliers to invest in innovation.
- Firms can also commit to high prices to soften competition and discourage competitors' innovation efforts, potentially allowing pricesPricing in oligopoly
This document discusses pricing strategies in oligopolistic markets. It begins by defining oligopoly as a market structure with a small number of firms controlling the market. It then examines the characteristics of oligopolies, including barriers to entry, interdependence between firms, and how prices are typically determined through price leadership. The document presents examples of industries that can be considered oligopolies like mobile phones, airlines and gaming consoles. It analyzes case studies of the mobile phone industry in India and how companies like Nokia, Samsung, Micromax and Karbonn employed different pricing and non-pricing strategies. Finally, it discusses barriers to entry in the mobile phone sector and concludes that oligopolistic behavior includes both competition and cooperation between

The document discusses strategies for multinational corporations operating internationally. It covers topics such as the international location of production, modes of foreign market entry, implications of internationalization on industry analysis, and developing competitive advantage within an international context. National influences on competitiveness are also examined.
Revision Efficiency: types & exam uses
The document discusses different types of efficiency that should be used when answering exam questions:
1) Allocative efficiency occurs when the price consumers pay equals the marginal cost of production, ensuring resources go to their most valued uses. Productive efficiency means output is produced at minimum average cost through optimal inputs, technology, and scale.
2) Dynamic efficiency focuses on improving quality, variety, and innovation over time through R&D, human capital investment, and competition.
3) Social efficiency maximizes social welfare by equalizing social marginal benefits and costs, requiring markets to account for externalities. X-inefficiency refers to businesses using more inputs than needed due to lack of competition.
The document provides
Monopolistic Competition SFLS online
II.) Monopolistic competition is characterized by many small businesses that produce differentiated products with weak barriers to entry. In the short run, firms behave similarly to monopolies by producing where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. However, in the long run competition drives economic profits to zero as entry and exit occurs. While monopolistic competition provides variety for consumers, it is less efficient than perfect competition due to excess capacity and markups pricing above marginal cost.

This document discusses the Learning Analytics Community Exchange (LACE) project's Work Package 5 (WP5), which focuses on applying learning analytics in the workplace, specifically for smart manufacturing training and performance support. WP5 aims to study how to improve manufacturing training through more embedded, continuous, and contextualized workflow-based performance support. It also explores moving from detached online learning to integrated, just-in-time learning solutions. The presentation outlines WP5's objectives, planned events and workshops, engagement with standards communities, and research papers.
A2 econ session 2
This document outlines an A Level Economics revision workshop on concentrated markets and government intervention. The workshop covers key concepts related to monopoly, oligopoly, and regulation. It includes activities to analyze monopoly and natural monopoly market structures using diagrams. Game theory examples are provided to illustrate collusion in oligopoly markets and the instability of collusive agreements. Various competition policies and regulators are also discussed.
Market Evolution
The document discusses the four stages of market evolution: emergence, growth, maturity, and decline. In the emergence stage, there is a latent need for a new product. Firms must decide whether to target the entire market or a niche. In the growth stage, more firms enter and may target niches or directly compete against pioneers. Eventually all segments are served and the market reaches maturity with slower growth and price competition. Decline occurs when demand decreases or a new technology replaces the old.
Economics slides
The document discusses different market structures:
1. Perfect competition has many small firms producing similar goods. Monopolistic competition and oligopoly have some imperfect elements.
2. Monopolistic competition features product differentiation, free entry and exit, and firms competing on attributes like price, quality, and marketing.
3. Oligopoly is characterized by a small number of firms where each firm's actions impact others. It involves interdependence but also a temptation for anti-competitive collusion.

Eventually all segments are served and the market reaches maturity with slower growth and price competition. Decline occurs when demand decreases or a new technology replaces the old.
Economics slides
The document discusses different market structures:
1. Perfect competition has many small firms producing similar goods. Monopolistic competition and oligopoly have some imperfect elements.
2. Monopolistic competition features product differentiation, free entry and exit, and firms competing on attributes like price, quality, and marketing.
3. Oligopoly is characterized by a small number of firms where each firm's actions impact others. It involves interdependence but also a temptation for anti-competitive collusion.
