This document provides information about Embraer, a Brazilian aerospace company. It discusses Embraer's history, founding in 1969 as a government-owned company that became fully private in 1997. It also discusses the commercial aircraft industry's history and current state with four major players: Embraer, Bombardier, Boeing, and Airbus. Embraer focuses on the regional jet market while Boeing and Airbus dominate the large jet market. The document poses questions about the firms' competitive positions and strategies, drivers of Embraer's success, applying Porter's Diamond model to Embraer, airplane product adaptation, and recommendations for Embraer's future strategy.
This document provides a case analysis and recommendations for Bombardier regarding its options in dealing with subsidies provided to its competitor Embraer by the Brazilian government. It analyzes three options for Bombardier: 1) urging Canada to impose trade sanctions on Brazil, 2) negotiating directly with Brazil and Embraer, or 3) having Canada match Brazilian subsidies. It ultimately recommends the second option of restarting negotiations as posing the fewest risks in terms of costs and public opposition, while still allowing the other options if negotiations fail. The analysis draws on academic literature regarding international trade, political strategies, and subsidies to support this recommended course of action.

The Iridium constellation was initially proposed as 77 satellites but later reduced to 66. Geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites have high latency and cost due to their distance from Earth. Low Earth orbit (LEO) was used for Iridium as it has lower launch costs, modest antenna/receiver requirements, and very low latency. A LEO constellation requires many satellites for global coverage but cannot service just one region. Iridium uses 66 satellites arranged in six orbital planes with 11 satellites in each, orbiting at 783km.
Jan Larsson_How not to duplicate the 3G mistakes OldFormatJan Larsson
This document outlines a strategy for mobile operators to maximize profits from 4G while avoiding mistakes made during the 3G rollout. It discusses the importance of opportunity cost and comparative advantage when making investment decisions. The commercial failure of 3G in Western Europe is analyzed, attributed to ignoring opportunity costs and over-reliance on application revenues to pay for costly network investments. The document recommends a mindset shift towards evaluating partnerships and investments based on comparative advantage to minimize opportunity costs and maximize total gains. It provides guidelines for mobile operators to successfully leverage 4G while learning from 3G experiences.
This document provides an executive summary of the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Consortium. It discusses FACE's strategy to establish a common operating environment for Department of Defense avionics through an open systems architecture and technical standard. This would enable software applications to be reused across different military aircraft platforms. The summary describes FACE's business model, technical standard deliverables, and the consortium structure involving industry, government, and standards organizations.
This document summarizes the key findings of the 2014 Index of Economic Freedom. It finds that economic freedom reached its highest point in the Index's 20-year history. Countries with higher levels of economic freedom have substantially higher GDP per capita, better health and education outcomes, and lower poverty rates. The past 20 years have seen unprecedented global economic growth and a reduction in global poverty as economic freedom has increased worldwide on average. Greater economic freedom is strongly correlated with higher rates of long-term economic growth and poverty reduction.
The document summarizes the 2011 Economic Freedom of the World report published by the Fraser Institute. It discusses the objectives and methodology of the report, which measures economic freedom in 141 countries based on government policies. It finds that countries with higher economic freedom scores have higher GDP per capita and faster economic growth. Countries with more economic freedom also tend to have lower levels of poverty and inequality. Overall, increasing economic freedom is associated with greater prosperity, democratic rights, and quality of life.
GDI results are aimed to provide economies the requisite foresight to inculcate best practices, address the ease of doing business and thereby attempt to overcome growth challenges.
The document is the 2012 edition of Measuring the Information Society, an annual report published by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). It presents data and analysis on global developments in information and communication technologies (ICTs).
Key findings include: continued growth in mobile cellular and broadband subscriptions worldwide in 2011, with mobile broadband subscriptions growing faster than fixed broadband; large disparities remain between developed and developing countries in ICT access and use; and mobile broadband prices remain high in many low-income countries, hindering further uptake.
The report features the ICT Development Index, which ranks countries' ICT development, and the ICT Price Basket, which tracks affordability of ICT services. It also includes new analyses
The United States dropped in the rankings of the 2012 Index of Economic Freedom published by the Heritage Foundation, falling to 10th place. The US scored lower in 2012 compared to 2011 in areas like government spending, investment freedom, and freedom from corruption. Hong Kong and Singapore topped the index as the countries with the most economic freedom, while North Korea, Zimbabwe and Cuba had the least freedom. The document argues that greater economic freedom is correlated with higher standards of living and prosperity.
This document provides an overview and contents of a report on the economic freedom of Indian states in 2009. It includes tables ranking the states on indicators of economic freedom, such as size of government, legal structure, regulation of labor and business. The top three states for economic freedom in 2009 were Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. The bottom three were Bihar, Uttarakhand and Assam. A separate chapter analyzes Andhra Pradesh's improvements in economic freedom over time. The report aims to measure differences in economic governance across states and inform state-level reforms.
The Economic Freedom of the States of India 2012 estimates economic freedom in the 20 biggest Indian states, based on data for 2011. The aim of this report—to measure the level of economic freedom within India—grows out of a larger project begun in the 1980s by the Fraser Institute and culminating in the annual Economic Freedom of the World
report (co-published by the Cato Institute in the United States). That exercise has proved fruitful in establishing a strong empirical relationship between economic freedom and prosperity, growth, and improvements in the whole range of indicators of human well being. The global report has also produced an explosion of research by leading universities, think tanks and international organisations on the critical role of economic freedom to human progress, including its importance to sustaining civil and political liberty. The Cato Institute is pleased to co-publish the present report on India with Indicus Analytics and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation at a time when both India’s high growth prospects and its commitment to reform have come under scrutiny.
The main highlights of this study are as follows.
1. The top state in India in economic freedom in 2011 was Gujarat. It displaced Tamil Nadu, which had been the top state in 2009. Gujarat’s freedom index score has been rising fast, and at 0.64 it is now far ahead of second-placed Tamil Nadu (0.56). Madhya Pradesh (0.56) is close behind in third position, Haryana (0.55) retains fourth position and Himachal (0.53) retains fifth position.
2. The bottom three states in 2011 were, in reverse order, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. In 2009, the reverse order was Bihar, Uttarakhand and Assam. Uttarakhand has moved up sharply from 19th to 14th position, and this improved freedom is reflected in its average GDP growth rate of 12.82 per cent in 2004-2011, the fastest among all states. This is an impressive achievement for a once-backward state.
3. Earlier the median score for economic freedom for all states had declined from 0.38 in 2005 to 0.36 in 2009. But it has now improved substantially to 0.41 in 2011. This is good news. Still the median score lags way behind Gujarat’s 0.64, so other states have a long way to go.
4. The biggest improvement has been registered by Madhya Pradesh. Its freedom index score rose from 0.42 in 2009 to 0.56 in 2011, enabling it to move up from 6th to 3rd position. This improved economic freedom was associated with acceleration in its GDP growth. This averaged 6 per cent per year from 2004-2009, but then accelerated to 9 per cent per year in 2009-2011.
5. The biggest decline in economic freedom has been recorded by Jharkhand, which slumped from 8th to 19th position. Its score declined from 0.38 to 0.31. Unsurprisingly, its GDP growth has averaged only 4.6 per cent in 2004-2011, one of the lowest among all states . Jharkhand has special problems as a heavily forested state suffering from Maoist insurrections.
Global competitive index & indian scenariomithil101
The document discusses the Global Competitiveness Index, which assesses countries' ability to provide prosperity to citizens using available resources productively. It is developed by the World Economic Forum and measures competitiveness across 12 pillars, including institutions, infrastructure, health and education. Countries progress through three stages of development - factor-driven, efficiency-driven, and innovation-driven - depending on their GDP and export mix. The index is adjusted to also measure sustainability across social and environmental pillars. The Executive Opinion Survey gathers business perspectives to accurately reflect countries' economic performance in the index.

Ever wondered why some teams and organisations don’t feel they can make Agile work for them? – Why do we often see teams implementing Agile, but without really getting the results they had hoped for? Should we change our expectations of the process, or is there something else we can do? Will fine-tuning the process and highlighting internal ownership even work, and how can we do that? These are just some of the questions that we will answer together in this session, targeted at new practitioners – we will cover a lot of real life scenarios and cases from the teams I’ve been working with and experiments I have been a part of.
IAF605 week 8 the strategy of international businessIAF605
The chapter discusses the role of strategy in international business. It examines how industry structure and competitive forces impact firm strategy and performance. Managers develop strategy to attract customers, operate efficiently, and compete effectively. The value chain framework helps managers analyze how the company creates value through primary and support activities. Firms face pressures for global integration to benefit from efficiencies but also pressures for local responsiveness to address host country needs. Different industry types and strategy types determine a firm's appropriate integration-responsiveness approach. The homework is to review exam performance, chapter 11, and prepare for chapter 12 by reading the case study on Burger King.
The document provides an overview of an Agile Basics presentation. It includes an agenda that covers why Agile is used, popular Agile implementations like Scrum and Extreme Programming, and the landscape of Agile adoption. It also discusses benefits of Agile like releasing working software frequently and collaborating with customers, as well as common Agile practices.

Its goals are to grow the local economy and diversify its industry structure.
1) The document discusses valuation techniques for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), focusing on synergies.
2) Synergies are cost savings and revenue increases that can be realized by combining two companies.
3) The value created by a deal is the difference between the price paid and the value of the acquired business including synergies.
The document provides guidance on strategic mergers and acquisitions. It discusses evaluating whether to build capabilities organically or acquire them. Key considerations for the "make vs buy" decision include whether organic growth will be too expensive or slow, if there is a value mismatch that prevents internal development, or if unique assets only allow acquisition. The document also emphasizes that acquisitions should fit a company's strategic direction and competitive advantage. It introduces a framework for analyzing acquisitions based on the resources, processes, and values that are being obtained.
Discusses using the Groovy dynamic language for primarily functional and acceptance testing with a forward looking perspective. Also considers polyglot options.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management.
