Answer:

<u>discontinuous innovation.</u>

Explanation:

Discontinuous innovation occurs when a new product is launched in the market that influences the design of new consumption habits, new value and new market.

They can also be called radical technological innovation, as they not only add value to an existing product, but create a product that can meet needs that were not possible with a previous product, so it is justified to say that there is a new product and market, such as analog cameras and digital cameras.

There is greater risk and cost in creating a product of discontinuous innovation than incremental product continuation, because creating something new involves many processes, time and costs, and there is still the possibility that the product will not be accepted in the marketplace. Therefore, it is essential for the company to conduct research and development, marketing research, create something that adds value and has a low cost to consumers, and then invest effectively in discontinuous innovation.

Suppose we have a 2-person world, with only Stephen and his friend LeBron. Suppose that Stephen can move 70 boxes or bake 28 coo
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Stephen can move 70 boxes or bake 28 cookies:

Opportunity cost of moving a box = (28 ÷ 70)

                                                         = 0.4 cookies

Opportunity cost of baking a cookie = (70 ÷ 28)

                                                         = 2.5 boxes

LeBron could move 24 boxes or bake 6 cookies:

Opportunity cost of moving a box = (6 ÷ 24)

                                                         = 0.25 cookies

Opportunity cost of baking a cookie = (24 ÷ 6)

                                                             = 4 boxes

Yes, trade is possible.

Stephen has a comparative advantage in baking cookies because of the lower opportunity cost than LeBron, so he is specialized in baking cookies.

On the other hand, LeBron has a comparative advantage in moving boxes because of the lower opportunity cost than Stephen, so he is specialized in moving boxes.
