1) People watch TV for diversion, social comparison, and keeping aware of current events. Most viewing is "ritualistic" where people watch acceptable programs within their available time.
2) While scheduled TV viewing is at an all-time high of 4.5 hours per day, time-shifting of content allows people to watch outside of traditional evening hours. Nearly 10% of viewing occurs outside the home.
3) Attempts to deliver live TV to mobile devices, like FLO TV, have failed because they did not account for why and how people actually watch TV - which is often through on-demand, short clips aligned with instrumental viewing behaviors.

CAT_Porter’s 5 Forces Going Forward (Revised Final Version) (1)Courtney Fenwick
This document analyzes Caterpillar Inc. using Porter's Five Forces model. It finds that the threat of new entrants into the heavy industrial equipment industry is low due to several large barriers. These include the enormous investment costs required for research, development, and global operations. Existing firms like Caterpillar benefit from economies of scale that would be difficult for new companies to achieve. Government regulations also present barriers through requirements for environmentally friendly and high-quality machinery. While some Chinese manufacturers have achieved success, the industry remains challenging for most new entrants to break into due to these substantial barriers.
