Air canada strategic analysi scx
Rising fuel costs and a global economic slowdown present challenges for Air Canada. Fuel costs for airlines have increased from $44 billion in 2003 to $178 billion in 2011, and the 2008 financial crisis led to falling demand for air travel. Adopting a cost leadership model could help Air Canada compete, but may be difficult due to non-controllable fuel costs and other expenses. The airline may need to focus on both cost cuts and service quality to succeed in the competitive airline industry.
Uae automotive
The United Arab Emirates has the second largest automotive market in the GCC after Saudi Arabia, with passenger cars making up 80% of sales. The UAE relies heavily on imports for its vehicles and automotive parts. In 2015 there were just under 402,000 vehicles sold, a slight decrease from 2014. Asian brands dominate vehicle sales, with Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi occupying the top three spots. The document outlines opportunities in alternative fuel vehicles, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and the used car market for automotive companies.
Automobile Industry
The Indian automobile industry manufactures over 11 million vehicles per year, exporting about 1.5 million. Two-wheelers dominate the market with over 75% share, while passenger cars account for about 16%. The industry has an annual turnover of over $35 billion and employs over 13 million people directly and indirectly. It also accounts for 7.1% of India's GDP. Growing at a steady pace, automobile sales are expected to be further driven by rising incomes and demand for electric vehicles.
FORD’s New Business Unit
Ford is considering starting a new business unit focused on electric vehicles. They analyzed the electric vehicle industry and various company targets. Based on their analysis of companies like Tesla, Wheego, Fisker and Tango, Ford believes their best options are either starting a joint venture with Tesla, the current market leader, or acquiring Wheego to gain expertise in affordable electric vehicles and leverage Ford's global distribution.
consumer perception on purchase of high end cars
This document discusses consumer perceptions of various car brands. It presents survey data ranking 10 car brands on perceived quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation, and environmental friendliness.

This document summarizes a study analyzing the potential market for hybrid cars in Mauritius. A survey was conducted of car dealers in Mauritius to examine their views. Key findings include:
- The majority of dealers had been in business over 5 years and sold mostly sedans and small cars. Low fuel consumption was the most important factor for customers.
- Most dealers were aware of hybrid cars but few had considered importing them as models were not available as hybrids. Dealers had different approaches to adopting new technologies.
- While some dealers liked to adopt new technologies quickly, others preferred to wait and see if the technologies succeeded to reduce risks for the Mauritian market.

The GM Recalls!!
General Motors recalled over 800,000 vehicles worldwide in 2014 due to a faulty ignition switch that could shut off the engine and prevent airbag deployment. The defect had been known to GM for over a decade but was not disclosed until an attorney obtained documents showing GM's knowledge. Over 100 deaths were linked to the defect and GM faced billions in losses, lawsuits, and fines from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for its delayed response. The recall ultimately led to the departure of several GM executives.

Fluor Corporation is an engineering and construction company that executes complex projects globally. It faces challenges like earnings volatility due to project delays and cost overruns. While the company has an all-time high backlog, the fund recommends benching Fluor due to stretched valuation multiples and high sector volatility outweighing the benchmark. Deere & Co. is proposed as an alternative holding with lower beta and higher correlation to the industrial benchmark.

Factor Endowments12,13
LO7.2
The sources of national advantage; that is, why an industry in a given country is more (or less) successful than the same industry in another country.
Classical economics suggests that factors of production such as land, labor, and capital are the building blocks that create usable consumer goods and services. 14 However, companies in advanced nations seeking competitive advantage over firms in other nations create many of the factors of production. For example, a country or industry dependent on scientific innovation must have a skilled human resource pool to draw upon. This resource pool is not inherited; it is created through investment in industry-specific knowledge and talent. The supporting infrastructure of a country—that is, its transportation and communication systems as well as its banking system—are also critical.
Factors of production must be developed that are industry and firm specific. In addition, the pool of resources is less important than the speed and efficiency with which these resources are deployed. Thus, firm-specific knowledge and skills created within a country that are rare, valuable, difficult to imitate, and rapidly and efficiently deployed are the factors of production that ultimately lead to a nation’s competitive advantage.
For example, the island nation of Japan has little land mass, making the warehouse space needed to store inventory prohibitively expensive. But by pioneering just-in-time inventory management, Japanese companies managed to create a resource from which they gained advantage over companies in other nations that spent large sums to warehouse inventory.
Demand Conditions
Demand conditions refer to the demands that consumers place on an industry for goods and services. Consumers who demand highly specific, sophisticated products and services force firms to create innovative, advanced products and services to meet the demand. This consumer pressure presents challenges to a country’s industries. But in response to these challenges, improvements to existing goods and services often result, creating conditions necessary for competitive advantage over firms in other countries.
Countries with demanding consumers drive firms in that country to meet high standards, upgrade existing products and services, and create innovative products and services. The conditions of consumer demand influence how firms view a market. This, in turn, helps a nation’s industries to better anticipate future global demand conditions and proactively respond to product and service requirements.
Denmark, for instance, is known for its environmental awareness. Demand from consumers for environmentally safe products has spurred Danish manufacturers to become leaders in water pollution control equipment—products it successfully exported.

Tutorial 5 Week 5
This document provides information for an international business class. It outlines objectives and assignments, including a group presentation and individual essay on government intervention in trade. It discusses key terms, examples of government trade policies, and addresses questions about how trade policies impact competitive advantage, human rights, producers vs consumers, and appropriate policies for businesses to advocate for.

The document summarizes several theories of international trade:
- It describes mercantilism and identifies its inherent flaws in assuming trade is zero-sum and constraining production.
- Absolute and comparative advantage theories are explained, showing how specialization allows nations to produce more.
- Factor proportions theory links a nation's exports to its abundant resources and imports to scarce resources.
- International product life cycle theory ties a product's exports and investment over its lifetime.
- New trade theories examine increasing returns to scale, first-mover advantages, and national competitive advantage from clusters of related industries.
Plants Sites & Parks: California
California has become one of the most powerful economic powers in the world on its own. In the 1990s, it aggressively diversified its economy away from aerospace and defense into emerging industries like IT. It now has a $1.2 trillion economy supported by industries like high-tech, manufacturing, and business services. The state provides funding to help companies develop new technologies. Its workforce of over 17 million is benefiting from the strong economy. The city of Palmdale also successfully diversified its defense-dependent economy and could gain thousands of jobs if Lockheed Martin or Boeing, located there, wins a $750 billion contract to build the next military fighter jet.
