...1. How to define its industry? A：There are 4 approaches to define Segway’s industry. Descriptions are as follow： * Input/Output based The primary tool used within this approach is the SIC code. Four digit SIC codes are the common method and widely used and understood. SIC codes provide sub-classifications up to 7 digits. * NAICS Codes for Segway： NAICS Codes | Name | Classification Level | 31-33 | Manufacturing | Sector | 335 | Electrical Equipment, Appliance, and Component Manufacturing | Subsector | 3353 | Electrical Equipment Manufacturing | Industry Group | 33531 | Electrical Equipment Manufacturing | Industry | 335312 | Motor and Generator Manufacturing | U.S. Detail Industry | * Strengths： provides an inexpensive, accessible and widely used pool of comparable data. * Limitations： SIC codes focus on the primary activity of organization, it becomes difficult to determine the classification of multi-product organizations. Defining one industry by only primary activity may lead to an incomplete definition. * Customer/Market based Using “Strategic Market Segmentation”, industry participants are defined as those that serve the same market segment. This segment is defined by using the parameters of end-use, geographic location, product technology, customer size and common buying factors. * Strengths： This closeness between customers & business may provide organizations a consistency with changes in customer trends. * Limitations： ...

Philips offers a range of luminaires designed to provide optimal lighting solutions for such conditions. Lighting solutions that not only enhance efficiency but solutions that really last. Proper construction of a vehicle often requires careful inspection at every step of the production process, with each step demanding very specific lighting conditions. production basics There are six main phases in the production of a vehicle: stamping, body-in-white (B I W ) assembly, paintwork, engine assembly, final assembly and car testing and delivery. Stamping This is the process by which parts (bodies, doors, bonnets, floor pans) are cut out of sheet metal. Completely automated-machines known as transfer presses perform all the work of cutting and shaping the metal. Body-in-white assembly This is the assembly-line operation during which all the various parts are put together and then welded to make the “shell” either by semi- or fullyautomated machinery. Paintwork Here too, the lines are automated to reduce waste and pollution. The body shell is cleaned, dipped in Final assembly During final assembly, all the remaining parts of the car are put together: seats, wheels, engine, dashboard and so...

Observe the tendency of the public sector in a number of industrialize countries such as Britain, USA, France, Germany, etc. to grow, both absolutely and relative to the rest of the economy.

...ACADEMIC PAPERa Longitudinal patterns of comparative advantage in the textile complex – part 1 An aggregate perspective Peter Kilduff and Ting Chi Department of Consumer, Apparel and Retail Studies, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, North Carolina, USA Abstract Purpose – This paper seeks to present a preliminary investigation into long-term patterns of trade specialization among leading textile- and apparel-exporting nations, assessing patterns of comparative advantage across the textile machinery, man-made fiber, textile and apparel sectors of the textile complex to determine whether these conform with both trade specialization and industry evolution theories. A model of evolutionary change in intra-complex specialization is defined and evaluated. Design/methodology/approach – A revealed comparative advantage index is employed to evaluate international competitiveness for 30 nations over a 42-year period. With repeated measures, ANOVA is used, to determine the significance of the observed patterns across five income-defined groups of nations. Findings – Long-term patterns of specialization broadly reflect expectations of factor proportions theory and industry evolution models. Product and income group characteristics combine to influence comparative advantage. Higher income nations generally remain stronger in more capital-intensive sectors, while lower income countries have emerged to dominate labor-intensive sectors. However, inclusion of a more...
