This class was for a paper I wrote for my International Trade Law class. My conclusions on the dispute, as far as I am aware, have still not been resolved by the WTO.
The Chinese government announced a special fund in 2008 to support the development of wind power technology and manufacturing in China. The fund provides grants of 600 yuan per kilowatt-hour for the production of the first 50 wind turbines rated at 1,500kw or more by eligible companies. In 2010, the U.S. requested WTO dispute proceedings, claiming the fund violates subsidies rules. However, the document predicts that China will win because the fund supports research and development rather than finished goods.
The document discusses import substitution as a strategy for economic development. It defines import substitution as restricting imports that compete with domestic products in order to promote local production. The objectives of import substitution include promoting domestic industries, generating employment, and improving the balance of payments. While import substitution can increase employment and resilience, the industries may become inefficient without international competition. Effective import substitution requires industries that utilize local resources and demand.
Group H's topic is Import Substitution Industrialization (ISI). The group members are Kazi Tanvirul Islam, S.M. Zayed Siraj, Jannatul Ferdows, and Jahanoor Haider. ISI is an economic policy that advocates replacing imports with domestic production in order to reduce a country's foreign dependency and encourage local industrialization. Governments implement ISI through protectionist measures like tariffs and by investing in local industries. However, ISI has been criticized for distorting balance of payments and trade, causing inflation, and negatively impacting income distribution.
This document discusses the role of entrepreneurs in import substitution. It defines import substitution industrialization as a policy of replacing foreign imports with domestic production to decrease dependence on other countries. Entrepreneurs help achieve the goals of import substitution by establishing new domestic industries, efficiently using resources to increase production and GDP, and directing the economy toward growth. The "Make in India" program is provided as an example of import substitution in India aimed at making the country more self-sufficient. Potential advantages include increased employment and economic growth, while disadvantages can include inefficiencies and lack of technology.
Import Substitution Vs Export Orientation; Case Study of Korean EconomyHisahito Shinno
Countries that pursued an import substitution strategy saw slower economic growth than those with an outward-looking trade policy. Import substitution led to inefficient domestic industries protected behind trade barriers, worsening balance of payments, and inhibited growth of linkages between industries. In contrast, countries like South Korea that emphasized export promotion through strategic industry protection and alliances between government and business saw rapid economic development, transforming from poverty to high income in a generation through competitive manufactured exports.
Import Substitution in India: Issues, Challenges and PromotionAakriti Agarwal
This document provides an overview of import substitution in India. It discusses India's economic situation in the pre-liberalization and post-liberalization eras, including factors that led to India's balance of payments crisis in 1991. It then defines import substitution industrialization and explains how India has extensively launched its Make in India program to reduce imports and promote domestic production. The document goes on to analyze opportunities for import substitution in India's top four import commodities: oil, gold, electronics, and machinery.

Entrepreneurs take risks to innovate and exploit business opportunities, including opportunities to import and export goods. They are important drivers of trade growth by constantly seeking new import and export ventures. Trade promotion aims to improve a region or company's trade performance by increasing exports and imports. Import substitution industrialization advocates replacing foreign imports with domestic production to reduce dependency and promote industrial development. Entrepreneurs can play an important role in both import substitution by establishing local industries, and export promotion by searching foreign market opportunities and developing direct or indirect export methods.
Liberalization , privatization and GlobalizationSamraiz Tejani
Liberalization refers to reducing government regulations on the economy to allow greater private sector participation. Privatization means transferring ownership of public sector enterprises to private hands. Globalization implies integrating a country's economy with the global economy through liberalizing rules to encourage foreign investment and trade. The document discusses the advantages of liberalization, privatization and globalization such as increased investment and efficiency, as well as potential disadvantages like job losses and increased inequality. It also outlines India's path towards liberalization in the 1990s.

It outlines key aspects of India's liberalization beginning in 1991 including privatization and globalization. It describes characteristics of globalization and multi-national companies. It also lists sectors that have developed significantly in India and factors both favoring and posing obstacles to further globalization and economic growth. Foreign direct investment trends and the growth of India's industrial, services and other economic sectors are summarized.
This document discusses globalization in the Indian context and its effects. It begins by defining globalization and outlining its objectives such as reducing trade barriers and creating an environment for the free flow of capital, technology, and labor across national borders. It then discusses the types of globalization including political, social, and economic globalization. It also examines India's steps to implement globalization through reducing import duties, encouraging foreign investment and technology agreements. The impacts of globalization in India are then outlined, such as increased trade, growth, and opportunities for women and technology sector. Finally, it discusses some major Indian companies that benefited from globalization and the effects of globalization on business environment through increased competition and awareness of customer needs.
The document discusses the LPG model of economic reforms introduced in India in 1991. It introduced liberalization, privatization, and globalization. Liberalization relaxed restrictions on trade and industry. Privatization transferred ownership of public sector enterprises to private companies. Globalization opened the Indian economy to increased foreign investment and trade. The reforms aimed to make the Indian economy more efficient and competitive and improve its balance of payments situation.
Export-Oriented Industrialization (EOI): Arguments For and Against What Have ...Dr.Choen Krainara
1. Export-Oriented Industrialization (EOI) involves countries promoting industrialization through exporting goods they have a comparative advantage in. Developing countries adopted EOI strategies in the 1960s to earn foreign exchange and reduce trade deficits.
2. EOI provides benefits like greater economies of scale, technological progress, employment growth, and learning effects. However, developing countries face constraints like limited export opportunities, high costs of export incentives, and lack of technological capabilities.
3. East Asian countries successfully used EOI strategies to drive long-term growth, while EOI has had mixed results in other developing regions. Only a few industries and firms in developing countries have been able to significantly expand exports

Globalisation means integrating the economy of a country with the world economy.
In India, the process of globalisation picked up with the policy reforms of 1991.
Globalisation refers to growing economic interdependence among countries in the world with regard to technology, capital, information, goods, services, etc.
The New Economic Policy of 1991 aimed to pull India out of an economic crisis and accelerate growth. It introduced liberalization, privatization, and globalization reforms. While the reforms aimed to improve growth, there were concerns they could negatively impact workers through job losses from privatization and rising costs from currency devaluation that could be passed onto consumers. The impact on employment and labor was mixed, with unemployment initially rising but organized sector jobs growing later on, especially in services. The reforms also decentralized India's labor relations system.
foreign trade as an engine of economic growthMitikaAnjel
Foreign trade acts as an "engine" of economic growth in three key ways: 1) It enlarges a country's market for exports, leading to greater production and utilization of resources; 2) Expanding exports provides more employment opportunities and economies of scale, lowering costs; 3) Access to global markets encourages innovation as businesses compete with international counterparts, improving efficiency and productivity. For example, the opening of the Suez Canal increased India's exports of commercial crops like cotton and tea, fueling economic growth. Export processing zones also create jobs and incomes, stimulating demand and further domestic manufacturing. Overall, specialization, competition and technological adoption spurred by foreign trade can power economic expansion.
The document discusses trade policy strategies pursued by developing countries after World War II, including import-substituting industrialization and export-oriented industrialization. Import-substituting industrialization, which involved protecting domestic industries through import restrictions, was widely adopted but often resulted in inefficient industries and uneven economic development. In contrast, the highly successful East Asian economies achieved rapid growth starting in the 1960s by pursuing export-oriented industrialization, maintaining relatively open trade policies while selectively supporting certain industries.
Globalization refers to the increasing integration of economies and societies through cross-border flows of information, ideas, technologies, goods, services, capital, finance and people. While globalization has ebbed and flowed throughout history, the late 19th century saw significant global integration prior to World War I. More recently, India began globalizing its economy in 1991 in response to economic problems, introducing financial reforms, liberalizing trade, allowing foreign investment, and dismantling licensing regimes. Globalization has impacted India through increased economic growth, participation in global markets, and the arrival of multinational corporations operating in India.

This document discusses trade policy in developing countries. It covers import-substituting industrialization policies from the 1950s-1980s that used tariffs and quotas to protect domestic manufacturing as "infant industries". However, these policies often led to inefficient production and lack of competitiveness. Since 1985, many countries liberalized trade and saw better growth results, as seen in successful Asian economies. The summary concludes that while industrialization was aimed to develop domestic industries, import substitution frequently failed to make those industries globally competitive.
The document discusses globalization and the global economy. It defines globalization as the integration of international trade, investment, technology, and cultures driven by policies to open economies. It then examines the structures of the global economy, including the rise of multinational corporations and global production chains that span multiple countries. Technological advances in transportation and communication have enabled unprecedented levels of global economic integration and interdependence.
This document discusses various aspects of globalization including definitions, features, positive and negative effects, challenges, and the roles of international organizations like IMF, World Bank, WTO, MNCs, and differences between FDI and portfolio investment. It provides country-specific examples regarding globalization in India and its impact. International coordination and management are needed to maximize globalization's benefits and minimize its risks.
This document provides an outline for Chapter 7 of a textbook on international trade. The chapter discusses how governments influence trade through various policies and instruments. It begins with an opening case study on textile trade restrictions between the US, Europe and other countries. The chapter then outlines the economic and noneconomic rationales governments use to intervene in trade, including protecting domestic industries and managing balance of payments. Finally, it examines the major instruments governments use to restrict or regulate trade, such as tariffs, subsidies, quotas and other nontariff barriers that directly or indirectly influence prices and quantities traded.
Globalization has increased economic interdependence between countries through rising international trade, financial flows, and cultural exchange. In India, globalization has led to both benefits and challenges. It has increased foreign investment and access to technology, but has also resulted in job losses as companies shift production to lower-cost countries. India has pursued economic liberalization policies since the 1990s, leading to strong GDP growth, but growing inequality as well. Key exports include gems, textiles, engineering goods, and oil, while major imports are machinery, oil, and coal. Foreign exchange reserves have risen sharply since the 1990s to over $300 billion.
Tiger economies, also known as newly industrializing countries (NICs), are located in East Asia where low-cost labor and some skills attract investors. The top 4 Tiger economies for growth are Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea. These countries encourage foreign investment and technology to create jobs and tax revenue, and their factories produce heavy industrial goods like steel and ships as well as light manufactured items like electronics, clothing, and footwear by taking advantage of cheap labor and access to shipping routes.
This document discusses Pakistan's experience with import substitution and export promotion trade strategies over several decades. It begins by outlining the theoretical underpinnings of each approach and compares their advantages and disadvantages. The document then analyzes Pakistan's shifting trade policies from the post-WWII period to present, noting it has pursued both import substitution and export promotion at different times but without a consistent strategy. While liberalization in recent decades achieved some export growth, Pakistan has lagged behind its potential. The document concludes that Pakistan has yet to find the right balance between the two approaches for sustained growth.
Entrepreneurs take risks to innovate and exploit business opportunities, including opportunities to import and export goods. They are important drivers of trade growth by constantly seeking new import and export ventures. Trade promotion aims to improve a region or company's trade performance by increasing exports and imports. Import substitution industrialization advocates replacing foreign imports with domestic production to reduce dependency and promote industrial development. Entrepreneurs can play an important role in both import substitution by establishing local industries, and export promotion by searching foreign market opportunities and developing direct or indirect export methods.

The document discusses India's institutional infrastructure for export promotion. It outlines the various government organizations that work to promote exports, including the Department of Commerce, Export Promotion Councils, Commodity Boards, autonomous bodies like APEDA and MDEDA, and state-level export promotion agencies. The roles of these institutions include creating export awareness, providing assistance and incentives to exporters, addressing trade barriers, and facilitating international marketing operations.
This document discusses export pricing strategies and considerations for foreign markets. Companies must balance costs, currencies, and corporate strategy when determining export prices. Effective export pricing requires considering full versus variable costs, skimming or penetration approaches, and coping with the unpredictability of foreign environments and their impact on commodity prices and poverty levels.
The document discusses various policies and zones to boost exports, including Special Economic Zones (SEZs), Export Oriented Units (EOUs), and International Financial Centers (IFCs). It outlines the objectives, incentives, procedures and differences between SEZs and EOUs. For SEZs, it discusses the concept, development in India, and setting up procedures. For EOUs, it discusses eligibility, procedures, benefits, and differences from SEZs. For IFCs, it discusses the role and an example of the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC), what it focuses on, and procedures for setting up there.
This document discusses export pricing and methods of payment. It defines price and lists factors that affect export price determination like costs, competition, demand elasticity and government policies. It then outlines various export pricing strategies and methods of payment like letters of credit. Letters of credit are described as advantageous for both exporters and importers by guaranteeing payment while avoiding blocked funds or bad debts.
The textile and apparel industry has a long history in Bangladesh dating back to the 1970s. In the early years, the industry struggled but began growing in the 1980s as export-oriented garment factories increased. By 1999 there were over 2,900 garment factories. The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) was formed as a lobbying group for the industry. Universities also began offering textile engineering programs to develop skills in the sector. While the industry has competitive advantages in low costs, it also faces weaknesses in areas like product development, marketing, and worker rights.
The balance of payments equation states that the balance on the current account equals the balance on the capital and financial account.
The current account collects the value of net goods, net services, net primary income like interest and dividends, and net secondary income like foreign aid.
The capital account records capital transfers like foreign aid and purchases/sales of non-financial assets.
The financial account includes direct investment like equity and loans, portfolio investment in assets like stocks and bonds, financial derivatives, and other investments like loans and currency holdings. Reserve assets held by the central bank are also included.
This document discusses export pricing strategies. It identifies that price is a critical element of marketing that generates revenue. It outlines both internal factors like costs and objectives and external factors like competition and demand that determine pricing. The document provides information needed for pricing like product and market data. It discusses pricing approaches like marginal cost pricing and strategies like skimming, penetration, and flexible pricing. It also covers pricing quotations and break-even analysis.
This document provides an overview of a course on the political economy of international trade. It discusses various policy instruments governments use to restrict imports and promote exports, and why governments intervene in international trade. The course will cover tariffs, subsidies, import quotas, export restraints, antidumping policies, and arguments for and against government intervention in trade. It will also discuss implications for businesses and provide examples.
This document provides an overview of Export Oriented Units (EOUs) in India. EOUs were established to boost exports by enabling additional production capacity with minimum value addition. Their key objectives are to transfer latest technologies and stimulate direct foreign investment. EOUs are required to achieve a positive net foreign exchange over 5 years and maintain input/output norms. In return, EOUs receive benefits like duty-free imports, excise and sales tax exemptions, ability to sell in the local market, and 100% foreign ownership. Major sectors for EOUs include food processing and coffee.

The document discusses protectionism and trade liberalization. Protectionism refers to restricting trade between countries through tariffs, quotas, and non-tariff barriers. Tariffs increase import prices while quotas restrict quantities. Non-tariff barriers make trade costly through regulations and standards. Countries adopt protectionism to shield domestic industries and jobs and for strategic or political reasons. Trade liberalization aims to reduce these barriers by promoting specialization, efficient resource allocation, and market access through agreements like GATT and the WTO. However, fully liberalizing world trade faces challenges in removing barriers like agricultural subsidies.
The document discusses various trade policy instruments and their economic effects. It analyzes how tariffs, export subsidies, import quotas, and voluntary export restraints impact prices and trade volumes in importing and exporting countries. Tariffs reduce trade volume but generate government revenue, while quotas and export restraints reduce welfare by conferring quota rents on foreign producers. Local content rules pass higher costs onto domestic consumers.
This document provides an overview of export incentives available in India to motivate businesses to start exporting. It discusses various pre-export and post-export incentive schemes offered by the central government, including advance authorization, export promotion capital goods scheme, duty drawback, focus market scheme, and market development assistance grants. The presentation aims to explain the benefits of exporting such as access to new markets, foreign exchange earnings, tax exemptions, and technological upgrades. It encourages businesses to take advantage of the incentives and start their export journey.
Political Economy Of International Trade discusses various trade policies used by countries and their effects. It notes that rich nations subsidize their agricultural sectors, creating surpluses and depressing global prices. This costs developing nations an estimated $50 billion annually in lost export revenue. The document also examines instruments of trade policy like tariffs, quotas, localization requirements, and anti-dumping policies. It outlines arguments for and against trade interventions and discusses the development of the World Trade Organization to liberalize and regulate global commerce.
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 summarizes various export promotion incentives and policies available to Indian exporters, including tax exemptions, duty drawbacks, import concessions, and special economic zones. It discusses sales tax/VAT exemptions, excise exemptions, duty drawback rates, income tax concessions, import concessions like the Export Promotion Capital Goods Scheme and Duty Free Import Authorization Scheme, and special zones like Special Economic Zones, Export Oriented Units, and Software Technology Parks that provide tax holidays and other benefits.
The success of export promotions can be judged from the growth of exports and the dynamism of the export sector. An effective export promotion should compensate for the disadvantages of the national exporters and should make the export business profitable enough to lure entrepreneurs to this sector.

This document discusses various theories of international trade and investment. It covers theories such as mercantilism, absolute advantage, comparative advantage, factor endowments, and newer theories like product life cycles and clusters. It also discusses arguments for and types of trade restrictions, including tariffs and nontariff barriers. Finally, it outlines several theories of foreign direct investment, such as monopolistic advantages and internalization to explain why firms invest overseas.
The document discusses various concepts related to markets and market equilibrium including:
- Changes in supply and demand can occur due to factors like changes in tastes, income levels, prices of related goods, technology, resource prices, taxes, and expectations of producers and consumers.
- These changes can lead to increases or decreases in price and quantity depending on whether demand or supply increases or decreases.
- Supply may be upward sloping due to increasing costs of production, but can also be flat if costs are constant.
- Government policies like price floors and ceilings can be used to address issues like inequality but may also create inefficiencies like surpluses or shortages.
- Market failures like public goods, externalities,

This is designed as a revision aid for unit 1 students taking their microeconomics papers.
This document discusses key macroeconomic concepts including aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and macroeconomic equilibrium. It defines aggregate demand as the total demand for goods and services in an economy and identifies its components as consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. Aggregate supply is defined as the total output an economy can produce. The document explains that macroeconomic equilibrium exists when aggregate demand is equal to aggregate supply, meaning the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied at the current price level.
This document discusses demand theory, the demand curve, elasticity of demand, and energy subsidies from both national and international perspectives. It explains that demand theory relates consumer demand for goods to their prices in the market. The demand curve shows the inverse relationship between quantity demanded and price. Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price changes. The document also outlines the objectives, advantages, and disadvantages of subsidies and their effects on markets.
The document discusses demand theory, subsidies, and India's energy sector. It explains demand theory, including the demand curve and factors that influence demand elasticity. It then discusses the concept of subsidies, their types and rationale, as well as their advantages and disadvantages. Specifically regarding India, it outlines the trends in central government subsidies from 1994-1995 and classifications of subsidies. It also discusses explicit central government subsidies like food and fertilizer subsidies.
This document discusses various economic theories and concepts related to international trade such as mercantilism, absolute advantage, comparative advantage, and free trade. It also covers topics like tariffs, quotas, the World Trade Organization (WTO), foreign direct investment (FDI), and different levels of economic integration including free trade areas, customs unions, common markets, and political/economic unions like the European Union (EU).
This document discusses several economic concepts including inflation, deflation, multipliers, and demand-pull vs cost-push inflation. It provides the following examples:
1. Zimbabwe in the 2000s experienced hyperinflation with prices rising over 79 million percent due to excessive money printing.
2. Germany in the 1920s suffered from hyperinflation as the government excessively printed money to pay reparations after WWI, causing prices to double every few days.
3. The oil crisis of the 1970s led to cost-push inflation as OPEC restricted oil exports and raised prices, contributing to a global recession.
4. Dublin's property boom of the 2000s saw demand-pull inflation
The document discusses various concepts of costs including real costs, economic costs, and opportunity costs. It provides definitions and examples for each type of cost. Economic costs include all explicit and implicit costs incurred during production plus normal profit. Opportunity cost refers to the next best alternative forgone in order to pursue a particular option. The concept is important for production, consumption, and other economic decisions. Internal and external economies and diseconomies can impact the shape and position of a firm's long-run average cost curve.
This document discusses various theories of international trade, including mercantilism, absolute advantage, comparative advantage, factor proportions theory, product life cycle theory, and theories of national competitive advantage. It also outlines common instruments of trade policy such as tariffs, subsidies, quotas, and anti-dumping policies. Finally, it discusses political and economic arguments that governments use to intervene in international trade such as protecting infant industries and pursuing strategic trade policy.
The balance of payments (BOP) records a country's transactions with other countries. It has two main categories: the current account which covers trade in goods, services, and income, and the capital and financial account which covers capital transfers and financial flows. The overall BOP position is the change in a country's net international reserves resulting from transactions. It is calculated as the current account balance plus the capital and financial account balance minus net unclassified items. The document provides the Philippines' BOP data for 2009 and 2010, showing growth rates for each component.
This learning unit discusses external economies of scale and how they can lead to mutually beneficial international trade. It defines external economies as lower average costs for an industry as industry size increases, as opposed to internal economies which depend on firm size. Countries may specialize based on external economies even without comparative advantage. Trade allows specialization and gains from scale. However, trade patterns can lock in advantages for early movers. Overall, concentrating industries with external economies benefits the world economy.
Econ452 Learning Unit 11 - Part 1 - 2020 fallsakanor
1) The document discusses how external economies of scale can lead to international trade even when countries have identical production possibilities. With external economies, the production possibilities frontier becomes convex, allowing for gains from specialization and trade.
2) It explains that external economies occur when industry-wide costs decrease as industry size increases, due to factors like specialized suppliers. This can result in one country dominating production of a good globally due to lower costs.
3) The document notes that established industries, even if not the most efficient, may remain dominant due to network effects from their head start, illustrating path dependence in trade patterns from external economies.
A fantastic PPT on the topic circular flow of income. It gives a complete understanding of the working of an economy in two sector, three sector and four sector models. It explains how production, income and expenditure are interrelated and how they move in a circular way.
This document provides information on economic concepts such as inflation, deflation, multipliers, and examples from history. It discusses:
1) What inflation and deflation are, examples from Zimbabwe and Germany, and problems high inflation can cause like worsening poverty and reduced savings incentives.
2) What multipliers represent and examples from economic history like Quesnay's formulation in the 18th century.
3) Examples of inflation drivers like the oil crisis of 1973 which led to recessions, energy shortages, and a move to more fuel efficient vehicles and alternative energy sources.
4) Keynes' views on preventing booms and recessions through countercyclical fiscal policies like increasing taxes during bo
Subsidies and countervailing measures newAjit Kumar
This document discusses subsidies and countervailing measures in international trade. It begins by defining subsidies as monetary support provided by a government or public body to domestic producers or exporters. It then outlines international rules on subsidies from GATT/WTO agreements. Subsidies are categorized as prohibited, actionable, or non-actionable depending on their trade effects. Remedies for different subsidy types include disputes at the WTO or domestic countervailing investigations and duties.
This document discusses short-run economic fluctuations using the aggregate demand and aggregate supply model. It explains that in the short-run, the aggregate supply curve slopes upward due to sticky wages and prices. Shifts in aggregate demand or supply can cause fluctuations in output and unemployment. Recessions occur when aggregate demand decreases, causing output and employment to fall.
This document provides an overview of short-run economic fluctuations by discussing key concepts like aggregate demand, aggregate supply, and the business cycle. It notes that most macroeconomic variables fluctuate together in the short-run as the economy expands and contracts. The document also introduces the basic model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to explain these fluctuations, showing how the AD curve slopes downward and the AS curve slopes upward in the short-run due to various factors like price rigidities. It explores how shifts in AD and AS can affect output and inflation in both the short-run and long-run.
This document provides an overview and agenda for a state aid workshop in London. It introduces the organizers and provides instructions for participating in an online question and polling platform. The agenda includes a refresher on state aid principles with workshops and a break. Key concepts that will be covered include the definition of state aid, why compliance matters, types of aid, and the tests to identify state aid. The workshops will involve applying these legal principles to case studies and testing knowledge through polling questions.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
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. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

3. • A wind turbine converts
wind energy into usable
electric energy
Wind turbine
4. • On August 11th, 2008
• Chinese officials announced
of a special fund for wind
power manufacturing to
• speed up technology
• promote wind power
development in China.
Special Fund
5. • Recipients of the fund would be those companies who research
and develop market accepted technologies and products.
• Produce wind turbines rated at 1,500KW or more
• The grant will cover the cost of Research and development
(R&D)
• R&D cost:
• based on the production cost in principal which says all cost will
be historical cost
• calculated from the start of the project to the completion of the
final product
• Eligible companies are state owned and Chinese controlled
stock companies.
• The grant will to be factored into the production cost of the
first 50 wind turbines and components produced by the
company.
Special Fund Eligibility
6. • Each Wind Turbine must be rated over 1500KW/hour
The grant is 600 Yuan/KW hour
• 1500 KW x 600 Yuan =
900000 Yuan
• The grant is for the first 50 machines produced
• 900,000 Yuan x 50 machines =
•
45,000,000 Yuan
• 45,000,000 Yuan x 0.15141 ($FX) =
•
6,813,450 U.S. Dollars per company.
The grant
7. • On December 22, 2010
• U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Ron Kirk
requested WTO Dispute Settlement
proceedings with China.
• Kirk claims the Chinese special fund is against
World Trade Organization (WTO) rules and
cites Article 3.1(b) of the WTO's Agreement
on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures
(ASCM).
• Kirk is requesting consultations under section
301 of the Trade Act of 1974
The accusation
8. • The WTO defines a subsidy as a financial
contribution by a government or any public body
within the territory of a Member (referred to in
this Agreement as “government”), i.e. where:
• A government practice involves a direct transfer of
funds (e.g. grants, loans, and equity
infusion), potential direct transfers of funds or
liabilities (e.g. loan guarantees);
• Government revenue that is otherwise due is foregone or not collected (e.g. fiscal incentives
such as tax credits); a government provides goods or services other than general
infrastructure, or purchases goods;
• A government makes payments to a funding mechanism, or entrusts or directs a private body to
carry out one or more of the type of functions illustrated in (a) to (c) above which would
normally be vested in the government and the practice, in no real sense, differs from practices
normally followed by governments;
• There is any form of income or price support (i.e.-fixing the exchange rate) in the sense
of Article XVI of GATT 1994 and a benefit is thereby conferred. (The World Trade
Organization, 1995)

What does a subsidy do?
10. • Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures
(ASCM) only restricts 2 kinds of subsides:
• Export subsidies
• Subsidies that are dependent on domestic produced goods
over imports.
• Kirk describes the fund as an import substitution. An
import substitution is a type of subsidy.
Restricted Subsidies
11. • Import substitution industrialization (ISI) is a concept that attempts to
wean a smaller economy off a bigger economy that it has been
dependent on for a long time.
• lessor economies were exporting raw materials while at the same time
importing popular consumer goods from countries with a stronger
economy.
• ISI tries to reduce its reliance of imports of popular consumer goods
from other countries by creating its own industry (sometimes state
owned) to support consumer demand.
• ISI also tries to control imports through a systems of tariffs, quotas
and strict control of its currency exchange thus giving local industry
an advantage over foreign imports.
• During the 20th century, this type of economic policy was very
popular with Latin American economies
Import Substitution
Industrialization
12. • Imports did increase
• Raw material prices decreased
• Capital spending increased
• Modernize or be eliminated
• Lasted until the 70s and ultimately labeled a bad idea
ISI Problems
13. • Factors that might be considered when this case is
reviewed
• Environment
• International trade vs. healthy planet
• Similar programs: US/World
Possibilities…
14. • WTO-UNEP Report
• Climate change
• Controllable changes
• Green house gas
(GHG)
• Change or die
• Other countries have
similar programs
Environment
15. • Chinese government spent 34
billion on renewable energy
projects
• USA spent about half of what
the Chinese have spent
• WTO/UN: “Be creative”
• USA: Has national resources
• World: Disadvantaged
• USA: Selfish
International Trade vs.
Healthy Planet
16. • USA has similar programs
• Transparent???
• Red tape/bureaucracy
• Trade barrier
• USA: 300 million people
• China: 1.3 billion people
• Which country has a better chance to solve the worlds
problems?
Similar U.S. Programs
17. • Article 8 of the MOF Document (2008) 478
• “the special fund must be specially used to cover the cost of
new wind power equipment’s research and development
activities.”
• Research and development is not a finished product
• Therefore, Article 3.1(b) of the WTO's Agreement on
Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (ASCM) would not
apply
• The incentive is not being offered to a good but to the research
of an idea that is not marketable
• Article 3.1 (b) of the ASCM is for finished goods only
• The United States will lose this case
