Entry Mode Choice

target a mass market as we analyzed it in the 4.2.2 section. Being a premium brand, it is crucial for Nespresso to keep control over its image in order to maintain its prestigious associations in the mind of customers. Therefore it was a wise strategic choice to develop the brand into an international one and this at its very beginning. It reinforces the unique message of the brand as well as its exclusivity. Customers are exposed to the same communication messages and are insured that…

jumbo. Specifically, one particular line of game-theoretic modeling offers the nonobvious insight that although the incumbent, Boeing, would earn higher operating profits if it could somehow deter the entrant, Airbus, from developing a superjumbo, entry-deterrence through new product introductions may be incredible even if the incumbent enjoys large cost advantages in new product development (e.g., because of line-extension economies). It turns out to be easy to set up simple…

it will be left with no retailers to sell to products might get wasted, since there is no access to the end customer. 8 Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury and other supermarket chains put up considerable barriers to entry. Anyone starting up a new supermarket chain has barriers imposed on them, implicitly or explicitly, by the existing supermarkets. For instance, Tesco may have cornered the market for certain goods; the new supermarket will…

of freedom system’s natural frequencies is associated with a characteristic deformation pattern. That pattern is called a mode shape. Mathematically, it is referred to as an eigenvector, a German term that indicates that the natural frequencies (eigenvalues) and corresponding mode shapes (eigenvectors) are fundamental properties of the system. To find the eigenvectors, or mode shapes, we substitute s2 and s2 into the 1 2 equation of motion for the top or bottom mass (either will give the…
