S/E/60. Prisoners Dilemma within ‘duopolic markets. With reference to examples with which you are familiar, evaluate the extent to which behaviour in duopoly markets can be explained by the prisoners dilemma game and assess the impact of repeating this

WORDS:
2000
DATE:
2005
PRICE:
29.99 GBP

The paper looks at the popular model of Game Theory- The Prisoners Dilemma – and accesses its use in explaining the behaviour of the key players in a duopolic marketplace. An attempt has been made to observe real-world examples in various fields (technology to cola). While the actions and reactions of the firms may have evolved based on intuition and/or basic business principles, it is realised that the Prisoners Dilemma model succeeds in satisfactorily explaining the behaviour of the firms. This also implies that managers that have a basic knowledge of the Game Theory can possess a unique edge over their competitors.

C/E/28 Economics and Leisure Tourism: Intercontinental Hotel

WORDS:

DATE:
2003
PRICE:
19.99 GBP

Conclusion Despite the Middle East crisis there is a huge potential, which is, however, not fully developed at the moment. The analysis of the financial statements of the company has shown that in the long-term perspective company might offer an outstanding market performance (Infotrac.galegroup.com). The longest since the Second World War, market had a devastating effect on the company's performance. Lack of investors' confidence has resulted in the current poor stock performance. This is justified by the losses that a Hotel division of the company has made over the previous year. Unfortunately, the management of the company seeks the remedy for the current problems in the restructuring and separation of the Group. The future structure, its new perspective potentials, and implications of the future company's strategy is not set yet.

C/E/34. 'BOTH HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL BOUNDARIES OF FIRMS DIFFER ACROSS INDUSTRIES AND ACROSS FIRMS WITHIN THEM'. EXPLAIN AND DISCUSS THIS STATEMENT.

WORDS:
2600
DATE:
2003
PRICE:
29.99 GBP

The production function of a firm and the legal environment in which it operates jointly determine both vertical and horizontal boundaries of a firm. These two major determinates aggregate a number of separate factors, variable across industries and firms within those industries. Therefore variation in the boundaries of firms both across and within industries is to be expected. Factors affecting the choice between vertical and market organisation may be aggregated into technical and agency efficiency. There are natural tradeoffs between the two, different across industries. Thus industries with larger volume of production and greater and greater complexity and specificity of their products are likely to be more vertically integrated than industries which operate with smaller quantities or simpler products. Evidence gathered on several American industries supports this hypothesis.

 

KEYWORDS: both, horizontal, vertical, boundaries, firms, industries, firms, them, explain, discuss, statement,

 

C/E/35. Industrial Economics. Discuss which of the theories of advertising imply a cause-and-effective relationship between advertising and prices explaining how it arises and whether it is a negative or a positive one. Also explain which, if any, theory

WORDS:
2500
DATE:
2003
PRICE:
29.99 GBP

Conclusion Therefore a number of theories imply a causal relationship between advertisement and prices, both negative and positive and backed by a number of hypotheses. Also a number of theories about advertisement look at explaining variation in advertisement across different sectors and its relation to market concentration, and imply no direct causal relationship between advertisement and price. Instead, whatever relationship can be inferred from these theories is spurious.
