Think of a firm that has attained a differentiation focus or cost focus strategy. Are its advantages sustainable? Why? Why not?
quester [9]

Answer:

Yes they are sustainable

Explanation:

The strategies mentioned in the question were laid out my Michael Porter and therefore, we can look analyse his model to understand whether these strategies are sustainable or not.

Porter has categorized strategies into 3 broad categories: Cost Leadership, Differentiation, and Focus strategies (all three are known as "Generic Strategies). Focus strategy is branched out into two sub-segments known as Cost Focus and Differentiation Focus.

Now, the question has already clarified that the strategies in question are both focus strategies. So lets understand what each entails.

Differentiation Focus: A strategy in which the company aims to gain market leadership in a focused market (a specific market) through strategic differentiaion. This strategic differentiaion involves offering a specialized service or a unique product in a niche market. Cost focus strategy is similar in the sense is that that the aim is to offer highly low cost products/services to a niche market. Because of the focus on these niche markets, company's develop a strong understansing of the consumer thereby developing strong brand loyalty with that particular customer base. The key ingredient, again, is that the competitive advantage is being harnessed by focusing just on a particular niche market. Another key component is that the companies using this strategy rely on the consumers in the target market having different needs, tastes, and requirements than consumers in other segments in the industry.

Now, these strategies by desig were put forth my Porter has being sustainable. Hence the term "generic strategies" in that they can be broadly used to create and sustain performance. The focus strategies as defined above are sustainable since they harness the power of having priority knowledge of their target market to provide appropriate services and products. The high brand loyalty and knowledge of consumers give them an edge over competitors (competitive rivalry). Supplier power depends on the nature of products being offered therefore it cant be taken into consideration. Buyer power can be managed since you are prodiving unique service offerings to unique customers. Threat of substitution depends on the product and service offering. Threat of new entry by larger player exists, but due to the focus that the company had in the target market, barriers to entry (long strong brand loyalty) can be developed.

The unemployment rate in an economy is 6 percent. The total population of the economy is 290 million, and the size of the civili
Tema [17]

Answer:

2. 9 million

Explanation:

We know that

Unemployment rate = Number of unemployed workers ÷ Civilian labor force

6% = Number of unemployed workers ÷ 150 million

So, the number of unemployed workers would be

= 150 million × 6%

= 9 million

We simply applied the unemployed rate so that the number of unemployed workers could come

Holton is the manager at a small restaurant what can he do to ensure the work place offers a safe environment for employees
adoni [48]

Answer:

A. Require all employees to wear slip resistant shoes.

<u></u>

<u>Options for this question</u>

A. Require all employees to wear slip resistant shoes.

B. Allow employees to eat one meal from an employee menu during their shift.

C. Train employees to provide great customer service.

D. Have employees set all the tables at the beginning of their shift.

Explanation:

Restaurants operate while maintaining high levels of hygiene. Cleaning is a continuous process as long as the restaurant is open. Due to this fact, the floor is bound to be slippery most of the time. With such conditions, slip-resistant shoes should be part of an employee's personal protection equipment, PPE.

A manager concerned with employee safety will insist on slip-resistant shoes to prevent workplace accidents. The other options are not about employee safety in the workplace.

uppose the annual demand function for the Honda Accord is Qd = 430 – 10 PA + 10 PC – 10 PGwhere PA and PC are the prices of the
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Qd = 400 units

elasticity of demand of the Accord with respect to the price of Camry = 0.5

elasticity with respect to the price of gasoline = -0.075

Explanation:

Solution:

The annual demand function for the Honda Accord is:

Qd = 430 – 10 PA + 10 PC – 10 PG

Where,

PA = Price of Honda Accord

PC = Price of Honda Camry

PG = Price of Gasoline per gallon.

Selling Price of both cars = $20,000

Fuel Cost = $3 per gallon.

a) Elasticity of Demand of the Accord with respect to the price of Camry.

First, we need to calculate the number of units demanded.

Qd = 430 – 10 PA + 10 PC – 10 PG

Qd = 430 – 10 (20) + 10 (20) – 10 (3.00)

Qd = 430 - 200 + 200 - 30

Qd = 430 - 30

Qd = 400 units

Cross-price elasticity of the Accord with respect to the price of the Camry will be:

Cross Price = (dQd/dPC) x (PC)/(Qd)

dQd/dPC = 10

PC = 20

Qd = 400

So,

Cross Price = 10* 20/400

Cross Price  = 0.5

b) Elasticity with respect to the price of gasoline?

Elasticity =  (dQd/dPG)*(PG/Qd)

dQd/dPG = -10

PG = 20

Qd = 400

Elasticity  = (-10)*(3/400)

Elasticity  =  -0.075

Virty [35]

Answer:

Letter A is correct.<u> </u><em><u>Unsystematic</u></em><em> </em>risk.

Explanation:

Unlike systematic risk, which is an inherent market risk, unsystematic risk is inherent in a specific sector or company.

The case in point concerns the investment of former AlphaEnergy employees, which is a unsystematic risk, as the investment risk in single-company shares includes regulatory changes, management changes, loss of market due to competition and withdrawal of the product from the market.

To reduce this type of risk, investors should seek diversification in their stock portfolio.
