An interesting example of strategic behavior comes from a 1997 article about Microsofts investment in Apple (New Straits Times, 1997). The article is included in the Required Readings list.

Facing tough anti-trust scrutiny from government agencies, Microsoft provided financial support to Apple in order to ensure Apples survival and, therefore, to ensure that competitiveness in the industry remains. Moreover, the partnership with Apple provided an additional market for Microsofts products the MS Office and the IE products were to be bundled with the MAC OS as one of the conditions for this financing. Discuss this case in the context of market structure and strategic behavior. What market structure do these firms operate in? Why did Microsoft need to preserve competitiveness in the industry? What was Microsoft afraid of in the event that Apple did not survive? Guided Response: In 300 words or more, please, provide your response to the above discussion question. Further, do you think Microsoft regrets taking action in light of Apples performance today?

Using the annual report from the company that you have selected for your Final Project (Walmart), discuss the risks the company faces and the actions they take to mitigate those risks.

Refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis section of the annual report for this information. As part of your response consider whether you think the risk mitigation techniques are reasonable. Discuss what others concerns or advice you would offer if you had the opportunity. Include in your post a calculation for the probability of one of the risks identified by your company. This information may not be available in the annual report, therefore you will likely need to conduct research and critical thinking to complete this calculation. Tip: For help with reading an annual report access this handy guide from Money Chimp (http://www.moneychimp.com/articles/financials/fundamentals.htm) .

Marketing Management Individual Assignment Each student is expected to select a marketing concept/theory (such as 4ps,STP strategy) that s/he finds most interesting in this course and submit an individual assignment based on it. In this assignment, students are expected to start with a brief introduction about why they find the concept/theory interesting.

Next, they should summarize their learning about this topic from the relevant lectures and seminar activities using suitable real-life examples (choose a real famous company, such as Starbucks). Students are also encouraged to look for information from other sources such as library books, articles, and information from newspapers or the Internet. Besides describing the topic with examples, effort should be made to identify some exceptions or counter-intuitive observations that may critically challenge the existing theory/concept. Last but not least, students should AVOID transplanting materials of their group presentation to their individual assignment as this would indicate a lack commitment to this assignment and/or constitute self-plagiarism. As a general practice, the report should include the following essential parts: (1) Introduction/Background; (2) Analysis; (3) Major Recommendations/Conclusions; and (4) References. The following link provides good guidance for how to cite references: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors/style/reference/tf_APA.pdf . The word limit is 1,300-1,600 words, all inclusive. Moreover, as FB requires, students need to submit their own assignment to Turnitin, a plagiarism prevention software built on Blackboard, and to generate an Originality Report (a similarity index of less than 20% is regarded as acceptable). They are required to provide a copy of the Report when handing in their essay. Failure to comply with all the foregoing requirements will significantly and adversely affect your grade.
