QUESTION: Competition law in the EU is no longer centred on the role of the competitive process as a source of innovation and growth. This argument is made by Pera, the author of Changing Views of Competition, Economic Analysis and EC Antitrust Law. ii) Critically assess the quote from Pera above.

However, his cause of death has been the subject of quite varied scholarly theories and conclusions. Did he die of an injury, of illness, of murder, or something else?. STEP 2: MYSTERY & THEORIES Describe the mystery as though someone is hearing it for the first time. Provide a brief summary of at least 2 reasonable and scholarly theories which could explain the mystery. Because some theories may sound far-fetched, include the source or promoter of each theory such as a scientist, a historian, a theologian, etc. STEP 3: EXAMINING THE MOST PLAUSIBLE Identify 1 of the theories that you summarized above as the most plausible. Provide at least 2 convincing reasons why the theory you have chosen is the best one to explain the mystery. STEP 4: REFERENCES & CITATIONS Include a reference page that identifies at least 3 references. The class text may be included in the list of 3 or more. In-text citations are required when paraphrasing or quoting another source. (i.e., STEPS 2 and 3 above)
Any information taken from the texts or other sources must be paraphrased no quotes. That is, it must be put into your own words. Please ensure this is not wirten as a paper but you have the question and then the answer follows. Read questions very carefully and Address All the Points Raised! I Identification – Answer all (25 points): Being specific, identify following 5 items from texts, readings or lectures and explain their relation to or effect on strategic management consulting and why they are analytically useful. Length answer each question should be about 3/4 page double-spaced. 1. Experience Curve? 2. Growth/Share Matrix? 3. Time based competition? 4. Hardball Strategies? 5. TIM? II. Problems Answer All 5 questions (75 points or 15 points per question) – Approximate length of answer for each question should be about 1-2 pages double-spaced. Keep answers concise and focused covering main points of each case or problem. 1. The experience curve is both a management tool and an indication of competitiveness based on a firms market share. On this basis Toyota should never have become competitive with General Motors or Ford. Yet factually this obviously happened. Also describe how Toyota has changed the traditional assembly line model pioneered by Henry Ford to stay competitively ahead of other auto producers and further manage its movement down the curve in terms of unit costs.? 2. BCG, Bain and McKinsey each have different approaches to Business Strategy consulting. Please briefly explain these and then compare how these differences might affect their approach to clients. 3. Each team has chosen a consulting client. Please briefly describe your chosen firm or its division in terms of its business, major competitors and the strategic problem or problems the team plans to address including the analytics that will be used to do this. 4. The auto industry has featured prominently in our discussion of business strategy including the impact of technology on the car itself. Indeed, as noted in the lectures the car has become more of a consumer electronics product. Please assess how you would advise Apple to leverage its growing role in the delivery of electronic entertainment as an entry strategy to increasing its electronic footprint in the smart car of the future. 5. Please Read the following arithmetic problem and then answer the five questions posed; The idea is to quantitatively evaluate your firms strategy to grow faster than the market and grow share. Your firm has a 20% market share in a high growth market [25% annual growth] where the major competitor [50% market share] is pursuing a conservative financial policy of only growing using internal financial resources. Your firm on the other hand has unlimited access to external debt funding at 5%. Assume then that your firm decides to initially price below the lead competitor at $22 per unit. The product is subject to experience effects. Market Growth [Units]: 25% Market Growth [$]: 20% [This assumes lead competitor lowers prices to $24 as costs decline to gain market share directly through market expansion and competitive pressures on 10% firms.] That is it prices at the prospective cost of the 10% producers. Market Size [units]: 250K Market Size [$]: $7.5 million [initial price is $30 per unit or cost 10% producers] Elasticity Demand: elastic and price elasticity equals 2 [1% change price leads 2% rise quantity] Elasticity Supply: elastic Industry Accumulated Experience: 250K Cost Reduction Each Doubling Experience: 20% Annual Production Of Lead Firm: 125K Market Share [units]: 50% Firms Market Share [units]: 20% [others 10% each] Asset Turnover: Depreciation Assets: 10% Taxes: 30% Based on this information indicate: Firms Competitive Position? Dog, $, ?, * Competitive Strategy [Grow, Maintain or Divest]? Gain, Hold or Reduce Market Share? Costs per unit? Pricing Strategy?
