Global Market Ans.10. C. Evaluative process PART- II 1. What do you understand by “ Inward-oriented Policies”? Ans. An inward- oriented policy, usually , means over protection. What is less obvious is that sheltering domestic industries puts exports at a great disadvantage because it raises the cost of the foreign inputs used in their production. Moreover, an increase in the relative costs of domestic inputs may also occur through inflation or because of appreciation of the exchange rate as import restrictions are introduced. In practice, the distinction between inward-looking and outward looking approaches gets blurred. Most of the less developed countries have employed both strategies with different degrees of emphasis at one time or another 2. What is ‘Factor Endowments Theory’? Ans. The factor endowment theory was developed by Swedish economist Eli Heckscher and his student Bertil Ohlin. This theory consists of two important theorems, namely, the Heckscher-Ohlin theorem and the factor price equalization theorem. TheHeckscher-Ohlin theorem examines the reasons for comparative cost differences in production and states that a country has comparative advantage in the production of that commodity which uses more intensively the country’s more abundant...

...Вариант 1 1) Теории меж.торговли Меркантилизм Основная статья: Меркантилизм Меркантилизм — система взглядов экономистов XV—XVII веков, ориентированная на активное вмешательство государства в хозяйственную деятельность. Представители направления:Томас Мэн, Антуан де Монкретьен, Уильям Стаффорд. Термин был предложен Адамом Смитом, критиковавшим труды меркантилистов. [править]Теория абсолютных преимуществ Адама Смита Реальное богатство страны состоит из товаров и услуг, доступных её гражданам. Если какая-либо страна может производить тот или иной товар больше и дешевле, чем другие страны, то она обладает абсолютным преимуществом. Одни страны могут производить товары более эффективно, чем другие. Ресурсы страны перетекают в рентабельные отрасли, так как страна не может конкурировать в нерентабельных отраслях. Это приводит к повышению производительности страны, а также квалификации рабочей силы; длительные периоды производства однородной продукции обеспечивают стимулирование выработки более эффективных методов работы [править]Теория сравнительных преимуществ Давида Рикардо Специализация на производстве товара, имеющего максимальные сравнительные преимущества, выгодна и в случае отсутствия абсолютных преимуществ. Страна должна специализироваться на экспорте товаров, в производстве которых она имеет наибольшее абсолютное преимущество (если она имеет абсолютное преимущество по обоим товарам) или наименьшее абсолютное непреимущество (если она не имеет абсолютного преимущества...

...passengers may sit anywhere they like. Southwest grows by entering new markets other airlines overprice and underserve. The company believes it can bring fares down by one-third to one-half whenever it enters a new market, and it expands every market it serves by making flying affordable to people who could not afford it before. Southwest currently serves 68 cities in 35 states, usually secondary cities with smaller airports that have lower gate fees and less congestion —another factor that leads to faster turnaround and lower fares. Another unique cost savings strategy is Southwest's decision to operate Boeing 737s for all its flights. This simplifies the training process for pilots, flight attendants, and mechanics, and management can substitute aircraft, reschedule flight crews, or transfer mechanics quickly. Jet fuel is an airline's biggest expense. According to the industry's trade group. Air Transport Association, jet fuel now accounts for 40 percent of an airplane ticket versus 15 percent just eight years ago. Southwest's biggest cost savings technique and competitive advantage has long been its program to hedge fuel prices by purchasing options years in advance. Many of its longterm contracts allow the airline to purchase fuel at $51 per barrel, a significant savings especially during the oil shocks of the 2000s that drove oil past $100 per barrel. Analysts estimate that Southwest has saved more than $2 billion with fuel hedging. Because lighter...

This in turn relates to the ability of a firm to identify how best to match its competencies to the needs and opportunities in the marketplace(s). Organisation's vision is an attempt to establish an ideal future ,rather than to provide a challenging but strict guide for management decision-making.A definition of Vision in a dictionary: “An image of the future we seek to create.”. A vision statement describes in graphic terms where the goal-setters want to see themselves in the future.It may describe how they see events unfolding over 10 or 20 years if everything goes exactly as hoped. -Tai Hing Catering vision : To be the best producer and most customer recommended diet group. A definition of Mission in a dictionary: purpose, reason for being ; also, an inner calling to pursue an activity or perform a service. The Vision describes a future identity and the Mission describes how it will be achieved. A Mission statement may define the purpose or broader goal for being in existence or in the bussiness.
