Discussion Question 1 - CLO 4

● Business-process outsourcing (BPO) is a type of outsourcing that consists of contracting operations and responsibilities of a specific business process to a third-party service provider. Such outsourcing generally began with manufacturing firms outsourcing their supply chain but has grown into a much wider range of processes, including marketing, finance, sales, and accounting. According to a recent Forbes article, the revenue of the global outsourced services industry rose from $45 billion in 2000 to nearly $100 billion in 2012.

● An article in BusinessWeek suggested that BPO can save end users anywhere from 15 to 85 percent. International BPO service providers are particularly attractive since offshore labor offers an additional 25 to 30 percent cost savings. Furthermore, approximately 25 percent of the cost savings results from BPO firms’ proprietary products. The remaining 10 to 30 percent in cost reduction accrues from consolidated operations.

● Suppose you are the manager of a U.S.-based company and must decide whether to outsource your human resources department. ○ Based on the above information and your study, please outline arguments supporting and

opposing a decision to outsource this function of your business. ○ Please explain from a purely business standpoint, any issues that might arise from contracting

with an international-based versus U.S.-based BPO service firm? (Chapter 6, page 199)

Discussion Question – CLO 6

● The opening statement on the website of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) says its members seek “ … to secure an efficient, economic and regular supply of petroleum to consumers, a steady income to producers and a fair return on capital for those investing in the petroleum industry.” To achieve these goals, OPEC attempts to coordinate and unify petroleum policies by raising or lowering its members’ collective oil production. However, increased production by the United States, Russia, Oman, Mexico, Norway, and other non-OPEC countries has placed downward pressure on the price of crude oil.

Please explain: ○ To achieve these goals of stable and fair oil prices, what must OPEC do to maintain the price

of oil at its desired level? ○ How easy it is for OPEC to achieve this goal? (Chapter 9, Problem15)

Activity 3 - CLO 6

Please analyze the following scenario by incorporating your learning from Chapters 9 & 10 of your textbook and answer the question: ● Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are the leading competitors in the market for cola products. In 1960

Coca-Cola introduced Sprite, which today is among the worldwide leaders in the lemon-lime soft drink market and ranks in the top 10 among all soft drinks worldwide. Prior to 1999, PepsiCo did not have a product that competed directly against Sprite and had to decide whether to introduce such a soft drink. By not introducing a lemon-lime soft drink, PepsiCo would continue to earn a $200 million profit, and Coca-Cola would continue to earn a $300 million profit.

● Suppose that by introducing a new lemon-lime soft drink, one of two possible strategies could be pursued: ○ PepsiCo could trigger a price war with Coca-Cola in both the lemon-lime and cola markets o Coca-Cola could acquiesce and each firm maintains its current 50/50 split of the cola market

and split the lemon-lime market 30/70 (PepsiCo/Coca-Cola).

BUS 505 Syllabus

o If PepsiCo introduced a lemon-lime soft drink and a price war resulted, both companies would earn profits of $100 million. Alternatively, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo would earn $275 million and $227 million, respectively.

o If PepsiCo introduced a lemon-lime soft drink and Coca-Cola acquiesced, they can split the markets.

● Please explain, as a manager at PepsiCo, ○ How you can convince your colleagues that introducing the new soft drink is the most

profitable strategy by explaining the reasoning and theoretical analysis (Chapter 10 - Problem13).

Discussion Question – CLO 7

Please read Chapters 13 & 14 and answer the two following questions: 1. During the early days of the Internet, most dot-coms were driven by revenues rather than profits. A

large number were even driven by “hits” to their site rather than revenues. This all changed in early 2000, however, when the prices of unprofitable dot-com stocks plummeted on Wall Street. Most analysts have attributed this to a return to rationality, with investors focusing once again on fundamentals like earnings growth. ● Does this mean that, during the 1990s, dot-coms that focused on “hits” rather than revenues

or profits had bad business plans? Explain. (Chapter13- Problem 14)

2. During the dot-com era, mergers among some brokerage houses resulted in the acquiring firm paying a premium on the order of $100 for each of the acquired firm’s customers.

● Is there a business rationale for such a strategy? ● Do you think these circumstances are met in the brokerage business? Explain. (Chapter 13-

CLA 2 Comprehensive Learning Assessment 2 – CLO 2, CLO 5, CLO 8

Please read the following scenario and answer the questions below by providing the analysis based on the relevant theories and applicable examples.

If your business earns superior profits, existing and potential competitors will do their best to get a piece of the success. It is essential for firms to examine a variety of business strategies to enhance the prospects of sustainable profitability. Out of all factors that impact an industry’s sustainable profitability, this CLA2 assessment focuses on the most damaging threat to sustainable profit, the entry of competitors into the market. Entry into the market heightens competition and reduces the margins of existing firms in a wide variety of industry settings. For this reason, the ability of existing firms to sustain profits depends on how barriers to entry affect the ease with which other firms can enter the industry including the formation of new companies (Wendy’s entered the fast-food industry in the 1970s); globalization strategies by foreign companies (Toyota entered the U.S. automobile market the middle of the last

BUS 505 Syllabus

century) , and the introduction of new product lines by existing firms (computer manufacturer Apple now also sells the popular iPhone). Your CLA2 is a paper of minimum eight pages, APA formatted, including one Industry Report and one Company Report that you recommend to the CEO of a company how to create a moat and prevent the threat of entry to the market.

1. Industry Report

Please select an industry and write a rigorous industry report for your selected industry that incorporate the followings:

● The market structure of the industry by determining the concentration ratio in the industry and how market structure affects the entry into the market

● The nature of industry and the network effects ● The production structure of the industry, initial capital requirements, sunk costs, and

economies of scale ● The prospect of industry in the future in regard to technological innovations

2. Company Report

Now assume you are managing a company in this industry and are asked to write a Company Report about the long term strategic decision making of the company. The purpose of this report is to recommend a few policies to the CEO that assures a sustainable competitive advantage and long term profitability for the company.

Please include the following variables in your Company Report: ● Sustainable market share and how it can be achieved ● Branding, reputation, and a considerable base of loyal consumers ● The managerial efficiency in strategic decision making regarding:

o The integration and merger activity, vertical and horizontal integration o Preventing entry of rivals by pricing and cost policies such as limit pricing, predatory

pricing, and raising rivals’ fixed or marginal costs

*Please refer to the Grading Criteria for Comprehensive Learning Assessments (CLAs) in the University Policy for specific guidelines and expectations.

CLA2 Comprehensive Learning Assessment (CLA 2) Presentation

In addition to your CLA2 report, please prepare a professional PowerPoint presentation summarizing your findings for CLA2. The presentation will consist of your major findings, analysis, and recommendations in a concise presentation of 15 slides (minimum). You should use content from your CLA2 report as material for your PowerPoint presentation. In addition, you should include learning outcomes from all your major assignments. This would include PA1, CLA1, PA2, and of course, CLA2 (unless otherwise specified by your Professor). An agenda, executive summary, and references slides

BUS 505 Syllabus

should also be included. Please keep in mind that the university is moving towards a more digital footprint for our students. This means that your final CLA2 presentation may be recorded, so that you may include it in your “e-portfolio” (graduating students should have all of their CLA2 presentations on a flash-drive, in addition to student biography, resume, interests, and so forth) Students will present their PowerPoint during the last week of class in either the On-Campus Class Session or the online Virtual Class Session, as determined by the professor. Presentations should not exceed 15 minutes.
