Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

Two Companies. We shall call them A and B.

If A and B decide not to advertise, they both get $5,000,000.

If A advertises and B does not then A captures $3 million from B at a cost of $2 million meaning their payoff would be,

= 5 million - 2 million + 3 million

= $6 million.

A will have $6 million and B will have $2 million as $3 million was captured from them. This scenario holds true if B is the one that advertises and A does not.

If both of them Advertise, they both reduce their gains by $2 million while capturing $3 million from each other so they'll essentially both have just $3 million if they both decide to advertise.

With the above scenarios, it is better for both companies to ADVERTISE if there is NO COLLUSION. This is because it ensures that they do not get the lowest payoff of $2 million if the other company decides to advertise and they do not.

However, if they DO COLLUDE. They must both decide that NONE of them SHOULD ADVERTISE and this would leave them with their original $5 million each which is a higher payoff than the $3 million they will both receive if they were both advertising.

Paul [167]
<span>According to Lawrence and Lorsch, the stability of an organization's environment determine(s) the degree of differentiation or integration that is necessary. 

Lawrence and Lorsch developed the contingency theory which involves organizations and changes in the environment. They watch how organizations change and perform based on what is changing around them and then how they adapt to the change. 
For them, differentiation is defined as organization systems breaking into smaller subsystems. Integration is defined as how well the subsystems work together to complete the overall task of the organization.

A local club is selling Christmas trees and deciding how many to stock for the month of December. If demand is normally distribu
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Data provided :

Mean = 100

Standard deviation = 20

Salvage value of the tree = $ 0

Actual cost of the tree = $ 20

Selling cost of the trees = $ 50

Now, the cost of shortage = Selling cost - actual cost = $ 50 - $ 20 = $ 30

and the outrage cost = actual cost = $ 20

Now,

the service level is calculated as:

service level = \frac{\textup{cost of shortage}}{\textup{cost of outrage + cost of shortage}}

on substituting the value, we get

service level = \frac{\$\ 30}{\$\ 20\ +\ \$\ 30}

or

Service level = 0.6
