The Seattle-based online retail giant has been rumoured to enter the smartphone market for quite some time. Previous reports suggested Amazon has two smartphones in its pipeline: a cheaper model and a high-end flagship device. The pricier version is rumoured to come with four built-in cameras that enable 3D eye detection and facial recognition, as TechCrunch reported in October. The device referred to in the documents obtained by The Information is likely the purported cheaper model, which it says may launch with a 5-inch HD display, a plastic back cover and 16GB of storage space.

- Amazon could launch a smartphone this year that costs “a fraction” of what Apple charges for its iPhone, a new report says. Amir Efrati at The Information spills details from an allegedly leaked internal Amazon document. The paperwork is said to have been produced by a potential partner and two people who were involved in discussions with Amazon. According to Efrati, the document discussed strategies for penetrating smartphone markets in China, Europe and the United States. Earlier discussions also mentioned Latin America as a possibility. The phone, which has been referred to as “Project Aria,” is likely to go on sale this year, according to Efrati. There’s no specific price, but he says Amazon is “determined” to “keep the phone at a small fraction of the iPhone’s $550-and-up price tag.” If Amazon does launch a smartphone this year, it’s unclear if it will fall under the company’s own brand or if it will work with a partner. Efrati says Amazon was “in talks” with “multiple hardware…In 2005, Hydrola make and updated their website with different languages, which enables the foreign customer to view and build an international network between them, which that lead to the company expand in the region without local intermediaries due to the internationalization of the organizational culture.

- CNG Pipeline Company At the weekly brainstorming session, John Spychalski, president of CNG Pipeline Company (CNG), suggested that they build a new pipeline from Elizabeth, New Jersey, to the Midwest to move refined petroleum products, gasoline, and diesel fuel. Following some discussion, he asked the strategic planning group to consider the idea before the next brown-bag session. Skip Grenoble, vice president for strategic planning, thought that John was not con- sidering the cost and impact of this idea. How could CNG obtain land to build the pipe- line, let alone obtain the necessary capital to finance the project? Then there was the question of the existing refineries located in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Skip knew refined petroleum products were being transported from the Gulf of Mexico refineries via barge and pipeline to the Midwest market areas currently. Skip turned over the project to Evelyn Thomchick, chief strategy analyst, to develop a preliminary analysis of the…Suppose you come home from having earned your degree at CSUEB. Your parents own a localchain of fitness clubs that have a great reputation. Your father uses cost-plus pricing, and at themoment he is charging $200 for an annual membership, and is currently selling 800 memberships.Your parents are quite happy with their current markup above average costs You suspect that perhaps they could be doing better and be more profitable. After consulting with the club’s manager, you learn that the cost function for annual memberships is given by c(Q)=1000+20Q+(1/20)Q2 .Further, they tell you that the own price elasticity of demand is approximately -2.5 Are your parents choosing a membership price that is maximizing profit? If not, what would yousuggest – increase the price or reduce the price?

- Serial Entrepreneur, author and founder of the Entreprenaissance Movement, Creel Price,recounts a time when creativity was needed to fake it to make it. Within months of opening ourmarketing business, yet without a client, we secured the opportunity to pitch to one of the majorAustralian banks. After a well-received presentation in their office, they indicated we could have theirbusiness but first they wanted to check out our operation. We had 18 hours to miraculously convert ourexhausted, disheveled office into something that could even remotely back up our loose-lippedassertion of ‘state of the art’. We needed a makeover. . .fast!A plan that has since been dubbed ‘Operation Hollywood Set’ was swung into action. Wecouldn’t pass up the opportunity for our two-bit company to achieve a major bank as a client, so wedecided to roll the dice and spend every last remaining dollar to hire all the furniture and technology weneeded to look huge. We’d either get rich, or go broke. Delegating the…Home Depot and Lowe's are in a price war on refrigerators. Refrigerators at Home Depot cost $1,000 with a price matching guarantee of a 10% rebate on the price difference with Lowe's, whose refrigerators cost $800. Is this price matching guarantee with a 10% rebate beneficial to the consumer? No, eventually both stores will offer the price matching with rebate and post the price of refrigerators at $1,000, the High Price.

That number is expected to grow at nearly 10 percent per year for the next five years.

- Hansel has been making a cuckoo wristwatch, which he sells over the web. Customers are willing to pay $600 for Hansel’s watch, and each one costs him $240 to make. He has no fixed costs. Gretel is considering entry into this market. Her consultant has conducted a large-scale study of customers to determine how much they are willing to pay for watches of various quality levels. The consultant has found that customers’ willingness to pay equals 150q per watch, where q is a quality index the consulting firm has developed that ranges from 1 to 10. Gretel’s cost would be 15q2 per watch. Regardless of whether or not Gretel enters the market, and regardless of the quality level she chooses, Hansel will not change his competitive positioning. Suppose Gretel chooses to enter the market with a lower quality level to save on costs. Specifically, her quality index equals 3. What is her added value vis-à-vis Hansel (per watch)? What is the optimal quality level Gretel should choose…Bevan’s Cycles, a chain of bike shops that were early adopters of an online business model, are trying to improve customer satisfaction from bike purchases. To do so, they are considering setting up a ‘fitting service’ to help customers get the perfect fit on their bikes, thus reducing bicycles returned. The way the service would operate is that customers will book a session with a ‘fitting expert’. This will involve the customer coming into the shop where they will be filmed riding a stationary bike (like you get at the gym) and then the film will be analysed by a computer system to give them the perfect fitting bike. At each bike shop, this will entail a fixed cost for installing the computer system for analysing each customer and a marginal cost for training each member of staff. The head office sets a budget of £10,000 if 2 members of staff are trained, and for the bigger stores £12,000 if 3 members of staff are trained. The total expense for this must be incurred in a single year.…Suppose there is a remote stretch of highway along which two restaurants, Last Chance Café and Desolate Diner, operate in a duopoly. Neither restaurant invests in keeping up with health code regulations, but regardless they both have customers as they are the only dining options along a 79-mile portion of the road. Both restaurants know that if they clean up and comply with health codes they will attract more customers, but this also means that they will have to pay workers to do the cleaning. If neither restaurant cleans, each will earn $10,000; alternatively, if they both hire workers to clean, each will earn only $7,000. However, if one cleans and the other doesn't, more customers will choose the cleaner restaurant; the cleaner restaurant will make $15,000, and the other restaurant will make only $3,000. Complete the following payoff matrix using the information just given. (Note: Last Chance Café and Desolate Diner are both profit-maximizing firms.) Desolate Diner…
