Peeter Luikmel. Features of Estonian EconomyEesti Pank
Estonia has a small, open economy of 1.34 million people with GDP of about 16 billion euros. While it experienced rapid growth and credit expansion before the crisis, it also suffered a large GDP decline in 2009. However, the economy has recovered faster than expected, helped by improvements in competitiveness from lower wages, higher productivity, and flexible labor markets. Looking forward, monetary policy support and opportunities for investment could help offset risks from the difficult euro area situation, though growth is projected to slow somewhat in the near term.

C. describe a time when you took a great risk. what was the outcome.Ricardo Ocampo
I invested all my savings and convinced my parents to invest in Ecopetrol's IPO on the Colombian Stock Exchange in 2007 despite only having 5 months of work experience. This was risky as we had no stock market investing experience and commodity prices could fall. However, my research found Ecopetrol was undervalued and local IPOs typically saw high returns. After a year and a half, I sold the stocks for a 94% return, doubling my savings and allowing me to pay for an MBA program.

Telecom versus Online - Worlds in collisionireijjhhjhut
Telecom operators face slowing growth in voice, internet, and broadband revenues. New services like IPTV are not expected to significantly improve revenue growth. Online players are successfully capturing consumer attention with communication and content services launched at a rapid pace. Innovative business models from new players also challenge telecoms' fee-based revenue structures. To compete, telecoms will need to revisit their innovation strategies and address challenges in driving internal innovation and benefiting from external innovation like that of acquired start-ups.

The global economy is experiencing one of the largest crises since 1929. The airline and leisure industries have been significantly impacted by the downturn as well as rising oil prices and airport charges. While the long term outlook remains positive, many airlines have failed and the industry saw large losses in 2008-2009. Low cost carriers have proven more resistant to the downturn. There are signs of potential recovery in 2010, but still much uncertainty, and travel behaviors may be altered by the crisis. Ancillary revenues and further cost optimization will be important to overcoming the challenges.

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

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.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
