zimovet [89]

Answer:

For comprehension purpose, I would attach options to the question:

All of the following are required resources for differentiation except:

A. Strong marketing capability B. Corporate reputation for quality. C. Product engineering. D. Intense supervision of labor.

The correct answer is Option D (Intense supervision of labor)

Explanation:

The differentiation asked in the question above is product differentiation.

Product differentiation, in Economics, talks about the efficient way a producer or seller of a product makes it unique in the market thereby creating an edge between the product and other similar ones or other products.

So, strong marketing capability exposes the strength and uniqueness of the product to prospective buyers which in turn brings sales.

Corporate reputation and product engineering are a strong boost in sales, as reputable companies and the physical appearance of a product tend to get easy acceptance in the market. While Intense supervision of labor may increase the efficiency of production but it is not to be considered as a resource for differentiation.

________ refers to how people make decisions in a lottery or with uncertainty. People do not generally make expected value decis

allsm [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. Prospect theory.

Explanation:

Prospective theory belongs to behavioral economics and stands out as an alternative model to the expected utility theory, since the validity of the rational agent's neoclassical assumption is questioned. This theory was developed by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman and his collaborator Amos Tversky in his »Prospect Theory: An Analysis of Decision under Risk” (1979). They used the results obtained from both his own empirical observations, as of several experiments.

Individuals set preferences based on a specific situation and circumstances, rather than in absolute terms. This means that depending on their initial situation, agents will act in one way or another. One of the results of this reasoning leads to behavioral asymmetries between situations of possible losses or gains. Individuals, for example, are generally more risk averse than profit lovers. An endowment effect is also derived from this analysis, since the compensation required by someone to dispose of a good is greater than what they would be willing to pay to acquire it.
