NASA is soliciting proposals from private companies to build a new rocket in 1960. Companies should submit a 5 part proposal including price. NASA will be the sole purchaser of rockets.
This document discusses potential publishers for a film called "The Unseen". It suggests a UK media company that creates and distributes independent cinema as a suitable option because they are a smaller company that would not be competing with high budget films in the same genre, they have a well built brand reputation, and "The Unseen" would fit within their portfolio of similar films while being unique for its specific qualities.
Film distribution involves marketing films from production through cinema release to maximize box office revenue for distributors. Distributors face competition, especially from large U.S. studios, as U.S. cultural influence has led to more American films playing in U.K. cinemas than British or other nationality films. Examples of U.K. film institutions that distribute both domestic and foreign films include Fox Vertigo Films, Studio Canal, Working Title Films, and Lionsgate Paramount.
The document compares an independent film company, Cambridge Film Works, to a conglomerate, Disney. Cambridge Film Works collaborates with other independent media companies and academic institutions, while Disney owns numerous subsidiaries across different industries like film, TV, and theme parks. Both companies leverage synergies between their productions, but Disney's integrated structure allows profits from one subsidiary to benefit others under the same corporate ownership. The key difference is that Cambridge Film Works is an independent operation that hires external partners, whereas Disney has consolidated numerous companies under its corporate umbrella.
The document discusses the differences between mainstream and independent cinema, including key terms related to film production and distribution. It provides information on major film conglomerates that dominate the industry and their subsidiary production companies. Students are assigned a task to research films and complete charts on their production, distribution, owners, and budgets.
Women CEO’s in Family Business: Challenges & Differentiating StylesDaleCarnegieIndia1

TECHNIQUES TO KEEP MEN AND WOMEN YOUNG, SEXY AND HAPPY FOR PEACE AND PROSPERI...Dr. Raju M. Mathew
This document discusses techniques for keeping men and women young, sexy, and happy. It argues that true happiness comes from self-realization and integration, not from religion, leaders, or medicine. Realization involves understanding oneself, nature, humanity, and achieving integration across five levels - the body/mind/soul, with nature, other individuals, and humanity as a whole. When these integrations are achieved, one can absorb cosmic energy and attain bliss. Primitive tribal gods and religions based on fear cannot provide happiness. A civilized view of God is of a loving, forgiving being. The document encourages moving from primitive tribal practices to a universal, humanistic spirituality.

Poor work-life balance can lead to stress, physical and relational problems, decreased performance, and disturbed families. Achieving work-life balance requires planning work and providing flexibility, empathetic leadership, training programs, effective communication, and time/stress management. Both organizations and employees must work together to develop strategies to help attain work-life balance.
This document summarizes the results of a target audience survey conducted to gather feedback on a thriller film. The survey included questions to understand respondent demographics, evaluate specific elements of the film like plot, music, and visuals, and identify areas for potential improvement. The results showed that the audience was in a narrow age range so future surveys should aim for more diversity. Some respondents also felt the plot was confusing and certain music choices or volume could be improved. Overall, most feedback was positive but some elements were identified as opportunities for strengthening future films.

The document discusses different market structures, including perfect competition and monopoly. It provides examples of each. Perfect competition is exemplified by the credit card market, where many banks offer identical credit cards. Monopoly is exemplified by Indian Railways, which is the sole provider of rail transport services in India and can set prices without competition. The document outlines the key features of perfect competition and monopoly markets, such as number of sellers/buyers and barriers to entry.
The market is presented as a form that is for the cultural advantage of the general public. The market structure comprises different types of markets, and the structures are portrayed by the nature and the level of competition that exists for the goods and services in the market. The forms of the market, both for the products market and the factor market or the service market, is to be decided by the idea of rivalry that is winning in a specific kind of market.
The Market structure is an expression that is resultant for the quality or the adequacy of the market competition that is winning in the market.
This document discusses different market structures including imperfect competition. It provides examples of monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly. For monopolistic competition, it describes characteristics like differentiated products, freedom of entry/exit, and firms having control over prices while facing downward sloping demand curves. For oligopoly, it notes the interdependence between a small number of firms. The document also discusses the Cournot model of duopoly and provides the De Beers diamond cartel as an example of collusion between firms.
This presentation was created during a marketing internship under the supervision of Prof. Sameer Mathur, IIM Lucknow. It contains an in-depth strategic analysis of the company, Best Buy.
1. The document discusses different market structures including perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. It provides characteristics and examples of each.
2. Perfect competition involves many small firms, standardized products, free entry and exit from the market, and complete information. The shampoo aisle is used as an example of monopolistic competition, where many similar but differentiated products compete.
3. A monopoly is a single firm with no close substitutes and barriers to entry. While sometimes granted legally, they may charge high prices without competition. Oligopolies involve only a few dominant firms where the actions of one impact others.
The document discusses different market structures: perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and duopoly. Perfect competition is characterized by many small firms, homogeneous products, perfect information, and price-taking behavior. Monopoly involves a single seller controlling the market. Monopolistic competition and oligopoly involve a small number of firms with some product differentiation. Oligopoly features mutual interdependence between firms. Duopoly is a special case of oligopoly with two firms.
This document provides an overview of different market structures, including perfect competition, monopolistic competition, monopoly, duopoly, and oligopoly. It defines perfect competition and lists its key conditions as having many small buyers and sellers, price taking behavior, and perfect information. Oligopoly is described as having only a few large suppliers that share the market. The document contrasts perfect competition with oligopoly markets and notes oligopoly allows for non-price competition between suppliers.
An auction is a process of buying and selling goods or services through competitive bidding. Traditionally, auctions were conducted live by auction houses, but now most occur online. The key aspects of an auction are multiple interested buyers bidding against each other, with the item going to the highest bidder. Common types of auctions include English, Dutch, sealed-bid, and Vickrey auctions. Industries that commonly use auctions include antiques, real estate, automobiles, commodities, and various business assets. Online auction platforms like eBay have made auctions more accessible globally.
Here are the answers to the bellringer quiz questions:
1. Examples of FC for this widget firm: Rent on factory building, equipment/machinery, insurance
2. Examples of VC for this widget firm: Materials/supplies, labor, electricity
3. This firm could increase its TR by increasing the quantity of widgets produced and sold, or by raising the price of each widget
4. An example of diminishing marginal returns for this widget firm would be if the marginal cost of each additional widget produced started to increase after a certain level of production, such as due to workers getting tired or supplies running low
The three market structures are perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. They seem to depend on the number of firms in the industry and level of product differentiation. Oligopoly is characterized by having a few large firms, similar but not identical products, and interdependent decision making. The concentration ratio measures the percentage of total market output produced by the top four firms, with higher ratios indicating less competition. Several US industries have very high concentration ratios, including video game consoles at 100% and credit cards at 99%.
This document discusses different types of economic efficiency including allocative efficiency, productive efficiency, and dynamic efficiency. It examines these efficiencies in the context of perfect competition, monopoly, and monopolistic competition market structures. Productive efficiency refers to producing at lowest cost while dynamic efficiency involves reinvesting supernormal profits into lowering costs further. The document considers which market structure results in each type of efficiency.
This document contains snippets of text from various sources discussing economic concepts like market structures, competition, and costs. It includes brief explanations of perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly market types. Students are asked questions about different markets and perfect competition. Graphs are shown for perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and marginal revenue under monopolistic competition with deadweight loss.
This document discusses the Reformation period in Christianity between 500-1500 AD. It provides background that during this time all Christians were Catholic, led by the Pope and bishops. The priests sold indulgences claiming they could reduce time in purgatory. Martin Luther protested the Catholic Church's corruption in 1517, sparking the Protestant reformation. Luther and other reformers disagreed with practices like selling indulgences and wanted people to be able to read the Bible in their own language. The document examines key figures and events of the Reformation like Martin Luther, his 95 Theses, and the new Protestant churches that formed.
This document discusses demand for lifesaving pharmaceuticals and the pricing of drugs under a monopoly. It asks how the demand curve would look if a firm had a patent on a cure for cancer and what deadweight loss would be. It also asks if such a firm should be allowed to charge any price and how quantity supplied would change if the firm price discriminated. The document then provides a graph showing the transition from a monopoly market to a competitive market when a drug patent expires and generics enter. It asks about other similar markets and provides links about copyright and public domain works.
This document discusses the concept of price discrimination. It begins by defining price discrimination as selling the same good at different prices to different buyers based on their willingness to pay. It provides examples such as student/senior discounts and differences in airline ticket prices. The document explains that under perfect price discrimination, a monopolist can capture all consumer surplus as profit and eliminate deadweight loss. However, in reality firms can only imperfectly discriminate by dividing customers into groups based on observable traits related to willingness to pay. It concludes by asking questions about whether price discrimination should always be illegal and discussing the "Soup Nazi" character from Seinfeld.
This document discusses monopolies and public policy related to monopolies. It begins by explaining the key characteristics of a monopoly market, including that a monopoly has total pricing power as the sole seller of a good or service. It then discusses the different types of monopolies such as geographic, government-granted, technological, and natural monopolies. The document goes on to explain how a profit-maximizing monopoly determines its optimal quantity and price using demand and marginal cost curves. It notes that a monopoly produces a lower quantity and charges a higher price than would be produced under perfect competition, resulting in deadweight loss. Finally, it discusses various public policy options for dealing with monopolies, such as antitrust laws to increase competition, regulation
This document contains instructions for a homework assignment about the Medici family during the Renaissance. Students are asked to answer 7 questions: 1) identifying if a source is primary or secondary, 2) discussing how the Medici family business helped Europeans, 3) considering why the Medici patronized artists, 4) listing 3 Medici contributions people enjoy today, 5) analyzing the Medici view on education, 6) evaluating the impact of powerful families, and 7) creating a timeline of 5 Medici family events. The document repeats the assignment questions multiple times.
This document provides an overview of Renaissance art and key concepts about the Renaissance period from the 1300s to 1550. It discusses causes of the Renaissance like the rediscovery of Greek/Roman ideas and art. Renaissance art is characterized by elements like perspective, realism, contrast between light and dark, and depicting humanism in Greek/Roman styles. The document lists and shows images of famous Renaissance artists like Michelangelo, Donatello, Da Vinci, and Raphael and some of their iconic works. Students are assigned a task analyzing Renaissance paintings or creating original art in the Renaissance style.
The document discusses the impact of the printing press invention by Johannes Gutenberg in the 1400s-1600s. It notes that before the printing press, all books were handwritten which was a long and difficult process. The printing press allowed books and new ideas to spread widely across Europe, helping to end ignorance. This was a factor in the Renaissance period, a time of "rebirth" in European culture and society. The document suggests Gutenberg is one of the most important people to ever live due to his role in popularizing printing.
The document contains examples and explanations of microeconomic concepts related to firm behavior including:
1. How a competitive firm determines its profit-maximizing quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
2. How the marginal cost curve determines the firm's supply decision - if price is above marginal cost, the firm will increase output.
3. The difference between a firm's short-run decision to shutdown if price is below average variable cost, versus its long-run decision to exit the market if price is below average total cost.
The document discusses the deadliness of diseases over time. It mentions that the Black Plague killed 30-50% of Europe's population in the 1300s. Students are asked to compare graphs showing which diseases are not as deadly today and which two diseases remain deadly. The document also discusses a modern plague outbreak in Madagascar in 2013 and brainstorms ways the US and Madagascar governments could help prevent future outbreaks. Students are assigned to create a 4-page health pamphlet for people in the 1300s about the symptoms, prevention, and societal impacts of the Bubonic Plague.
The document discusses several deadly pandemics throughout history, including the Black Death plague which originated in China and spread along the Silk Road to Europe in the 14th century, killing an estimated 30-50% of the European population. Students are assigned to write a letter from a Silk Road trader during this time period describing how life has changed in Rome due to the plague, symptoms of the disease, and how to prevent its spread. Other assignments involve analyzing the impact of a modern disease outbreak and creating an educational pamphlet about the bubonic plague.
The document provides instructions for students to complete assignments on discrimination and religious intolerance. Students are asked to describe a time they witnessed discrimination and how they responded, and how they will respond in the future. They are also assigned a group poster project analyzing cases of extreme religious intolerance by indicating the location, groups involved, and events, and conveying a message about the effects of such behavior.
The document discusses the religious protections guaranteed by the First Amendment and how countries may change if they adopted different state religions. It provides background on countries with official state religions, the concept of a theocracy where government is run by religious rules, and details about the Spanish Inquisition where the Catholic church ruled Spain and persecuted those who did not conform to Catholic doctrine.
Constantinople was important during the Crusades as it was the capital of the Byzantine Empire and controlled the trade routes between Europe and Asia. Spain was under Muslim control during the Crusades. The document provides notes about Crusades events like the Siege of Jerusalem in 1099 and Battle of Nicopolis in 1396, and asks questions about Crusader advantages and Ibn Fadlan's travels.
This document discusses competition in markets through a series of examples and questions. It begins with an experiment involving different levels of competition and asks students to consider how it affects pricing power. It then discusses the benefits and drawbacks of competition for consumers and producers. Various market structures are introduced, including perfect competition as exemplified by markets like gasoline, salt, and paper clips. Firms in perfect competition are price takers, and the document explores how they can increase revenue and profit given these constraints.
The Tohono O'odham tribe wants to build a soccer stadium next to their casino. This would create both positive and negative externalities for the local community and governments. Negative externalities could include increased traffic and noise, while positive externalities could include more jobs and tax revenue. Finding ways to minimize the harm to neighbors, such as addressing traffic issues, would help gain city support for financing the stadium project. Understanding the elasticity of demand for tickets, concessions, and merchandise through price changes would help the tribe maximize revenue.
This document provides instructions for creating graphs using an online graphing tool to illustrate various microeconomics concepts related to supply and demand, costs of production, and market equilibrium. Students are asked to create graphs showing: a unit elastic supply/demand curve with price controls; a market with negative externalities; the effect of a per unit tax; short-run cost curves and break-even analysis; and supply/demand shifts in response to current events. The final questions provide an additional economics game and a request for new classroom tools.
This document discusses short-run and long-run costs of production. It contains the following key points:
1. In the short-run, some inputs like factories are fixed, while in the long-run all inputs are variable as firms can build or sell factories.
2. A firm's long-run average total cost curve shows the lowest average cost for each quantity based on the most efficient factory size. It is determined by connecting the minimum points of different factory sizes' short-run average total cost curves.
3. Economies of scale cause average total cost to fall as production increases due to factors like specialization. Diseconomies of scale cause costs to rise due to coordination problems in
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

1. With your partner
Its 1960, and NASA is going
to be buy a rocket and
soliciting proposals with
private companies to build a
the new rocket. NASA will be
the ONLY buyer of rockets.
Put together a 5 part

2. Pricing power
• 1st case, very fast, who has pricing power
– 2 sources of that power (I think there are really 3)
• 2nd case, longer, who has the pricing power?
3. How is this different than the other 4
market structures we learned?
• Buyers/sellers
• Barriers to entry
• information
• Oligopoly
• Perfect Competition
• Monopolistic competition
• Monopoly
4. Monopsony Market structure
• Somewhat rare
• Many sellers, only 1 buyer
• Few barriers to enter supply
market
• Very expensive or special
products being purchased
• Monopsony power comes from
size of the firm, bigger the more
buying power, lower prices for
buyer
• “Market share”
5. Monopsony Market Examples
• Larger employer, small town
– Mining towns like Morenci,
Winkelman and Bisbee
• Baseball players before 1974

6. Monopsony Market Examples
• Amazon on book market (70%)
• Walmart on clothing & goods
• Healthcare in United Kingdom
– Market in USA?
• Firms with considerable
economies of scale
• How could sellers work to
increase price of their factor?
