Answer:

semiannual 1.42%

yearly          2.85%

Explanation:

Those are annual rate so we need to determinate the 6-month rate

The annual rate times the semiannual rate will be equal to the 18 months rate

(1+0.0195)(1+r)=(1.0225)^{3/2}

\frac{1.0225^{3/2} }{1.0195} - 1 = r

r = 0.01416296  = 1.42%

If we want to express it annually:

1.0142^2 - 1 = r  = 2.85%

emmainna [20.7K]

<u>Explanation:</u>

The term IoT is an acronym for 'Internet of Things' which refers to a modern technology that allows certain physical objects or “things” as we may call it to connect to the internet.

While Big Data refers not just to large data, but to an innovative field of technology that specializes in analyzing very large (big) data sets.

Consider the education industry, by means of IoT, it is possible for school management to effectively track their student's academic progress in real-time.

IoT and Big Data connected in the sense that, as these physical things (objects) communicate over the internet, a mass amount of data ("Big Data") is been generated which could then be analyzed using specialized software. In other words, they are mutually beneficial.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The correct option is D) Looking across complementary offerings

Generally, the Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS) seeks to avoid locking horns with the competition by identifying niche areas that are critical to the attainment of a competition-free space. According to the BOS took kit, there are 6 paths to achieving a blue ocean strategy.

One of them is called looking across complementary offerings.

Another term for the Curve is Value Ramp. Value Ramp simply refers to a methodology for evaluating one's service/product offerings. It consists of a graph that plots a curve sloping upwards from left to right, showing the relationship between price and the value or perception of value being delivered by the business.

The principle offered here stated that the higher the perception of one's brand, the more one should be able to charge for their services.

Value is thought to increase as the business delivers more and more personalized services in a relationship-oriented fashion rather than generic products and services which are readily available off the shelf in most cases.
