Boing Vs Airbus Duopoly
The document discusses the duopoly between Boeing and Airbus in the commercial aircraft manufacturing industry. It begins by defining a duopoly as a market controlled by two companies. It then provides characteristics of a duopoly such as two firms controlling the majority of market share and price competition depending on quantity supplied by each firm. The document analyzes the commercial aircraft industry specifically, noting how mergers have consolidated it into just Boeing and Airbus. It discusses aspects of their competition like diversified product portfolios, regulations around safety, and how prices and strategies are determined. Finally, it reinforces that a duopoly has two producers dominating one market, which is the current situation between Boeing and Airbus.
The Location Of Industry
There are several key factors that affect where industry chooses to locate, including accessibility to transportation for importing and exporting materials, a climate that attracts workers, availability of flat land and power, access to capital, communication links, government incentives, available labor supply, and access to markets. Industry classifications include primary industries dealing with raw materials, secondary industries involving manufacturing, tertiary industries providing services, and quaternary industries focused on research and development.
Competitive vs oligopolistic?
The cotton textile industry in England developed in a highly competitive environment rather than an oligopolistic one. Rapid growth in demand, low barriers to entry for new firms, frequent technological innovations, and a high rate of firm bankruptcy combined to make oligopolistic competition almost impossible in this industry. These factors led to ruthless competition shaping the development of the cotton textile industry.
Casic 2011
The document discusses geopolitical factors that influence international competitiveness. It provides examples of how government policies adopted in response to regional economic rivalries shaped competition in the digital TV and flat panel display industries. Specifically, it discusses how rivalry between North America, Western Europe, and Japan led each to adopt incompatible digital TV standards. It also discusses how Japanese dominance of flat panel displays was later challenged by rivals from Korea and Taiwan, and more recently China. The document advocates that theories of industrial policy must account for how globalization influences economic rivalry between nations.
Unit-2 Lecture-5(International Product life Cycles Theory)
The international product life cycle theory proposes that the location of production for many products shifts between countries as the product moves through different stages of its life cycle. The stages are: 1) Innovation - products are developed and initially produced and sold in the innovating country. 2) Growth - demand increases in foreign markets and some production may move abroad. 3) Maturity - production begins in emerging economies as costs rise in developed nations. 4) Decline - production is concentrated in emerging economies and developed nations become importers. The theory explains how production shifts from developed to developing nations as products mature, allowing firms to benefit from lower costs.

The document discusses the evolution of the European textile industry from maturity to potential de-maturity. It analyzes case studies of textile firms Marzotto in Italy and Ten Cate in the Netherlands. Marzotto showed characteristics of maturity-trap through local preferences and process innovations. In contrast, Ten Cate demonstrated de-maturity through distant search, path-breaking changes, and dynamic capabilities to transition to technical textiles. The EU's efforts to promote de-maturity through R&D must be accompanied by social innovation and the development of dynamic capabilities in firms.
GLA Creative Industries 2007 Update
This document summarizes research on the creative industries in London from 1994-2005. It finds that the creative industries are an important part of London's economy, accounting for 15% of jobs in London and experiencing faster growth than other sectors. However, creative industry jobs are more volatile and concentrated in smaller businesses. The document also reviews definitions of creative industries, how they have changed over time, gender and ethnic diversity within different creative subsectors, and customers that creative businesses sell to.
International Trade Theories
The document discusses several theories of international trade:
1. Mercantilism held that a nation's wealth depended on accumulating gold and silver through trade surpluses. It advocated subsidies for exports and tariffs/quotas on imports.
2. Adam Smith's absolute advantage theory argued that countries should specialize in goods they produce most efficiently and trade for other goods. Both countries can benefit through specialization and trade.
3. David Ricardo's comparative advantage theory extended this, showing that trade can benefit both sides even if one country is more efficient overall. Countries should import goods they have a comparative - not absolute - disadvantage in.
4. Later theories examined factors like differences in factor endowments

Accelerating Energy Innovation: Lessons from Multiple Sectors
Rebecca Henderson and Richard Newell
India's IT Industry, Intro to Industry 4.0 and Comparison to Belgium
Industry 4.0 refers to the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems monitored by computing systems and internet-of-things devices. Previous industrial revolutions introduced mechanization, mass production, and computer automation. Industry 4.0 builds on these with increased connectivity between machines, supply chain integration, and data/analytics to improve processes. The growth of technologies like smartphones, tablets, and apps has been exponentially faster than previous innovations, demonstrating growing digitalization. India's large IT industry has played a key role in digital transformation through outsourcing, and now focuses on co-creation with global clients. The top 5 Indian IT companies generate over $68 billion in annual revenue.
Monopoly shweta patil
This document provides an overview of monopoly as presented in a Managerial Economics class. It defines monopoly as a market with a single seller and no close substitutes. Key features include a downward sloping demand curve, limited consumer choice, and the firm being a price maker. The document discusses different types of monopoly, causes such as barriers to entry, and advantages like economies of scale and ability to invest in R&D. However, it also notes adverse effects like higher prices and potential for inferior goods. Examples given include historic monopolies like Microsoft, Kodak, and AT&T as well as current monopolies like Indian Railways.
GBS CH 2 MANAGING INDUSTRY COMPETITION
This document discusses industry competition and Porter's five forces framework. It begins with definitions of industry and the structure-conduct-performance model. It then explains Porter's five competitive forces that shape industry competition - the threat of new entrants, power of suppliers and buyers, threat of substitutes, and rivalry among existing competitors. The document also discusses generic strategies of cost leadership, differentiation, focus, and speed. Finally, it covers the tensions between global integration and local responsiveness, and how the integration-responsiveness grid can help companies address these pressures.
Investing In The Future
1) Brand managers are too focused on incremental improvements and reacting to competitors rather than innovation and imagining new possibilities for customers.
2) The auto industry faces challenges like overcapacity, price destruction, and changing consumer behavior, but also opportunities from growing markets in places like China and India.
3) For the UK auto industry to have a successful future, it needs to invest more in new technologies, collaborate across sectors, and develop an integrated strategy around becoming a leader in low-carbon vehicles and energy.
International trade & investment lec4
This document discusses several theories of international trade, including mercantilism, absolute advantage, and comparative advantage. It provides details on key aspects of each theory such as balance of payments for mercantilism and production possibility curves for comparative advantage. It also addresses limitations of the theories and additional factors that influence trade patterns between countries such as differences in country size, factor proportions, and product life cycles. Later sections explore strategic trade policy and Porter's diamond model for understanding why companies engage in international trade.

Multinational corporations (MNCs) can provide benefits to host countries such as capital, technology, marketing and management expertise, and increasing domestic competition. However, they are also criticized for engaging in anticompetitive behaviors and displacing local industries and investment. MNCs tend to operate as oligopolies in many industries such as automobiles, soft drinks, movies, music, pharmaceuticals, and fast food. Public policies aimed at reducing the ill effects of monopolies and oligopolies include antitrust laws, fair trade laws, deregulation, and encouraging new competition through technologies.
Kodak's strategy- BRACU (collected)
Kodak's 4-year strategy from 2003 failed to transition the company away from traditional film business towards digital. The strategy had 4 pillars: 1) Slow exit from film, 2) Lead in digital output, 3) Grow digital capture, 4) Expand digital services. It failed due to core competencies becoming rigidities, lack of market research, late entry into digital photography, and unwillingness to change. The current CEO is pursuing outsourcing, investing in digital/printers, aggressive patent litigation, and brand licensing to generate revenue during bankruptcy restructuring. Lessons are that strengths can become weaknesses, external changes must be addressed, and innovation alone is not a solution.
Kodak strategy
Kodak's 2004 strategy under CEO Daniel Carp had four pillars: 1) Slowly exiting the traditional film business, 2) Leading in distributed digital output like printing, 3) Growing the digital camera business, and 4) Expanding digital imaging services. However, this strategy failed because Kodak's core competencies in film became rigidities as the market shifted digital, they lacked market research, and were late entrants to digital photography. Under new CEO Antonio Perez, Kodak's current strategy focuses on outsourcing manufacturing, investing heavily in digital technologies, building a printer ink business, aggressive patent litigation, and brand licensing.

International financial management is important for several reasons: (1) International trade corresponds to currency transactions as goods move between countries; (2) Specialization and trade allow countries to focus on goods they have a comparative advantage in and import other goods, benefiting all countries; (3) Globalization has led firms to expand internationally to exploit competitive advantages and imperfect foreign markets. International trade and financial management are crucial for world economic growth and development.

206global sourcing
Global sourcing involves identifying, selecting, and developing suppliers globally, including outsourcing partners. Common activities outsourced include resource-intensive tasks requiring specialist skills or changing technologies. Outsourcing purchasing is more common where purchasing is non-core, the supplier base is small and proven, and items supplied are non-strategic and low risk/cost. Benefits of outsourcing include reduced costs and staffing needs, increased flexibility, and focus on core business functions, while potential problems include reduced quality control, dependence on few suppliers, and loss of skills/expertise. Implementing outsourcing requires careful planning and management of supplier relationships.
208 internationalpurchasingspecialists
International purchasing specialists (IPS) act as intermediaries between international buyers and sellers. They use their expertise in local markets and industries to identify suppliers that match buyers' needs, help negotiate deals, and manage the relationship. IPS provide a range of services including market research, arranging meetings between buyers and sellers, assisting with communications, advising on logistics and documentation, and keeping clients informed on industry trends. Hiring an IPS widens sourcing options, can lower costs or improve quality, saves time, and eases the challenges of international procurement.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.GraphRAG for LifeSciences Hands-On with the Clinical Knowledge Graph

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
