• ASHFORD BUS 640 Week 1 DQ 2 Decision Making Under
  Uncertainty

• ASHFORD BUS 640 Week 1 Economics of Risk and
  Uncertainty Applied Problems (New)

• Decision Making Under Uncertainty. To save on
  gasoline expenses, Edith and Mathew agreed to
  carpool together for traveling to and from work.
  Edith preferred to travel on I-20 highway as it
  was usually the fastest, taking 25 minutes in the
  absence of traffic delays. Mathew pointed out
  that traffic jams on the highway can lead to long
  delays making the trip 45 minutes. He preferred
  to travel along Shea Boulevard, which was longer
  (35 minutes), but rarely had traffic jams. Edith
  agreed that in case of traffic jams, Shea
  Boulevard was a reasonable alternative. Neither
  of them knows the state of the highway ahead of
  time.

• ASHFORD BUS 640 Week 2 DQ 2 Demand Elasticity

• ASHFORD BUS 640 Week 3 DQ 1 Relevant Costs

• Demand Elasticity. Please, read the article
  Hainer, R. (2010), provided in the required
  readings section for this week. The tobacco
  industry is a prime example to consider when
  talking about price elasticity of demand. While
  nicotine use can be addictive for many users, it
  is not addictive for the so-called "social
  smokers".
• What can we say about the price elasticity of
  demand for nicotine products (such as cigarettes,
  pipes, tobacco) in the group of nicotine addicted
  users, versus the group of "social smokers"? Can
  we say whose demand is likely to be more elastic?
  Why?

• Relevant Costs. Two partners own together a small
  landscaping business in North Carolina, called
  Summer Lawn Care. They have been specializing in
  summer grass seeding, installation, and
  maintenance. Recently, the partners acquired
  special technology and know-how for winter grass
  installations and maintenance. They also added a
  tree cutting service as recent storms in the area
  had caused demand for this service to soar. One
  of the partners insists that the name of the
  business should change to Lawn and Tree Care, so
  that it better reflects the range of services
  and, thus, generates more customer interest, and
  thus contracts.

• Strategic Behavior Oligopolies. An interesting
  example of strategic behavior comes from a 1997
  article about Microsofts investment in Apple
  (New Straits Times, 1997). The article is
  included in the Required Readings list. Facing
  tough anti-trust scrutiny from government
  agencies, Microsoft provided financial support to
  Apple in order to ensure Apples survival and,
  therefore, to ensure that competitiveness in the
  industry remains. Moreover, the partnership with
  Apple provided an additional market for
  Microsofts products the MS Office and the IE
  products were to be bundled with the MAC OS as
  one of the conditions for this financing.

• ASHFORD BUS 640 Week 4 Journal Economics in News

• Local Market Power. Bulls Eye department store
  specializes in the sales of discounted clothing,
  shoes, household items, etc. similar to the
  offerings at a regular Walmart or Target. Bulls
  Eye is the only department store in Show Low and
  the nearest other discount retailer is Target,
  located 49 miles away in Eagar. Bulls Eye,
  therefore, has some market power in its local
  area. Despite having some market power, Bulls Eye
  is currently suffering losses. An analyst at
  Bulls Eye is recommending to the manager to raise
  prices, so that profitability can be improved.

• ASHFORD BUS 640 Week 5 DQ 1 Good Will in Price
  Bidding

• ASHFORD BUS 640 Week 5 DQ 2 New Product
  Introduction

• Good Will in Price Bidding. Sometimes, a bidder
  on a work contract may bid lower than what would
  maximize his/her profit from the contract and the
  reason for that is to create goodwill (to
  increase expected future business from the
  buyer). How would you value the goodwill that is
  obtained in this way?

• New Product Introduction. Bayer Schering Pharma
  AG, Germany owns the Alka-Seltzer, which was
  launched in 1931 and was meant for relief of
  minor aches, pains, inflammation, fever,
  headache, heartburn, sour stomach, indigestion,
  and hangovers. The Alka-Seltzer Plus was a
  spin-off of the original medicine, meant to
  relieve colds and flu.

• ASHFORD BUS 640 Week 6 DQ 1 Game Theory and
  Strategic Behavior

• ASHFORD BUS 640 Week 6 DQ 2 Sustainable
  Competitive Advantage

• Game Theory and Strategic Behavior. Suppose that
  GE is trying to prevent Maytag from entering the
  market for high efficiency clothes dryers. Even
  though high efficiency dryers are more costly to
  produce, they are also more profitable as they
  command sufficiently higher prices from
  consumers. The following payoffs table shows the
  annual profits for GE and Maytag for the
  advertising spending and entry decisions that
  they are facing.

• Sustainable Competitive Advantage. Describe the
  circumstances under which a firm chooses a
  low-cost strategy to attain sustainable
  competitive advantage. What about the situations
  when a differentiation strategy is chosen?
  Provide specific real world examples.
