ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

a. unethical

Explanation:

This company's behavior is unethical. In the globalized world, it is natural for transnational firms to direct their production structure to countries where labor is cheaper, as this makes their product more competitive in the international market. However, these firms must not take advantage of regulatory failures in the labor market in these countries to increase their profit. Every firm must be concerned and ensure that the physical integrity and health of employees who work on its plants is preserved, regardless of location. Thus, in order to act ethically, this firm should implement process improvements to minimize the exposure of employees to chemical agents and to inhibit the exploitation of the labor that occurs when employees work in excess and without being paid for overtime.

Television channel operating profits vary from as high as 45 to 55 percent at MTV and Nickelodeon down to 12 to 18 percent at NB
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

MTV and cable channels can have higher operating profits largely because they have lower costs and can reach very specific demographic groups quite easily. MTV and Nickleodeon are typically not paying high and uncertain prices for their shows. They air mainly reruns of proven shows or relatively low-cost reality shows. This means that they have more cost certainty.

In addition, they have very clear target audiences where the networks do not. MTV is clearly aimed at teens and young adults while Nickleodeon is a kids' channel. Advertisers are attracted to channels with such clear demographics.

As far as Porter's five forces go, the most likely reason for the higher cable profits would have to do with brand equity and the lower propensity among buyers to substitute.

These would mean that cable channels have a lower threat of new competition and a lower threat of substitute products. It is true that it is easy for a new cable channel to be created, but it is much harder for such a channel to get the name recognition and brand equity that MTV and Nickleodeon have.
