BUS 640 Week 2 DQ 2 Demand Elasticity
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?

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.

BUS 640 Week 4 DQ 1 Strategic Behavior Oligopolies
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

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.
