...Name: Radhika K Section: i Reg No: 1221055 CONSEQUENCES OF DEMAND AND SUPPLY MISMATCH IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY Introduction: The entertainment industry is in the race to embrace corporates, and the production houses today are vying with each other to reach out to the global markets. With increasing incomes of the common man and broad room for expansion, industry representatives and analysts say that the film and entertainment sector has remarkable potential for growth. Movie production tycoons are aiming to develop content and partnerships to conquer both domestic and international audiences. Demand and Supply The Indian film industry produces roughly twice the number of movies as the American film industry, and sells 2.5 times the number of box office tickets as the U.S market. However, the Indian film industry box office revenues have been under the scanner; in 2008 Indian films earned only USD 1.6 billion compared to Hollywood's USD 9.7 billion, though ticket prices in India are less expensive than those in the U.S. or Europe. Factors affecting the mismatch: This scene is attributed to screen penetration and consumer spending still being considerably less as compared to the global scene. India is still a very price-conscious market. Also, cinema business is a tertiary demand and is the last in the chain of decision-making from a consumer’s perspective. However, demand for luxury goods, cinema tickets are said...

INTRODUCTION “Operations Management or OM is the set of management activities that create value in the form of goods and/or services by transforming inputs into outputs.” As for this case study, Hard Rock café creates value in the form of good food and entertainment. From its humble beginnings by founders Isaac Tigrett and Peter Morton in London way back in 1971, to its current global status after 42 years in the industry, Hard Rock continues to expand and evolve. Modifying its menu from serving classic American - burger and chicken wings – to including higher-end meals like veal chops and lobster tails. Hard Rock has changed over time, with new menus, layouts, memorabilias, strategies, and services – from restaurants, resorts, and hotels. The continued success of Hard Rock can be studied thru its Operations Management. The rationale for the case study is to understand how each of the ten (10) critical decisions of...

...segments of the media value chain, but also over the individual value chains of its business units. For example, by owning all elements of the theme park value chain, starting with travel agencies, over food and merchandising, to the accommodation of the parks’ visitors, Disney made sure that all possible revenue streams were channeled into the group without intermediary-related losses. Despite its precarious financial situation, Disney further extended its vertical reach by investing in the development of a new cable venture, The Disney Channel, launched in 1983, which allowed the exploitation of Disney content on the additional distribution platform cable television. Disney also decided to vertically integrate into syndication in order to exploit further revenues by licensing the individual film rights of Disney’s by now extensive television content library to independent television stations. The merger presented substantial benefits for both sides: Miramax gained guaranteed access to Disney’s national and international distribution network, and Disney could increase its content product diversity by securing content of the type that it lacked in its Disney, Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures output (Lyons, 2003). Through the Miramax acquisition Disney increased movie output from 18 films per year in 1988 to 68 new films in 1994. Summary of Disney’s Corporate Strategy Disney’s core competencies involve drawing upon new and classic entertainment brands through its film studios...

...and services at a national level. Through a tax credit mechanism, this tax is collected on value-added goods and services at each stage of sale or purchase in the supply chain .The system allows the set-off of GST paid on the procurement of goods and services against the GST which is payable on the supply of goods or services. However, the end consumer bears this tax as he is the last person in the supply chain. What are the benefits of GST? 1. Credit Scheme: GST will be levied on supply of goods and services and the supplier will be allowed credit for the GST paid on purchases. The credit would be seamless except that the credit of CGST paid will not be allowed for set-off against SGST payable and vice versa. This will eliminate the he cascading effect and reduce the price. 2. Subsuming all Taxes: GST should subsume all major indirect taxes levied by the Central Government i.e. central excise, customs and service tax and majority of the taxes levied by the State Government i.e. VAT, luxury tax, entertainment tax, etc. In this regard, tax on petroleum products and alcohol are intended to be kept either outside or tax additionally under GST. 3. Export-oriented industries -internationally more competitive as entire taxes in supply chain would be refunded (zero-rating) 4. Import-substituting industries would also become competitive as prices of Indian commodities would reduce and GST would be levied on imported goods. Under GST, the taxation burden will be divided...

...marketing ideas, the customer service department offered customer related solutions etc. Delta realized that they did not have a comprehensive solution to dealing with the low cost carriers in the market. One of the simplest solutions proposed by Delta management was the idea that Delta could launch its own low cost subsidiary, however, looking at the rest of the airline industry, low cost subsidiaries seemed to be ideas that were either immediate failures or unsustainable over time. According to experts, they had “never seen a high-cost carrier transform itself into a low cost carrier”. With or without this option, Delta would have to find a solution to this problem. The airline industry in the United States is immense, with more than 620 million passengers and over $81 billion in fares in 2001 alone. Unfortunately, while immense in size, in terms of profit, the airline industry continued to perform below the average for other industries. Many investments made by the larger carriers were not profitable and the tragedy of 9/11 put more pressure on this already struggling industry. For nearly 40 years, the US airline industry had operated within strict and specific operating rules under the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB). The CAB determined and assigned routes for each carrier, which were typically a mixture of lucrative and moderately profitable routes. CAB also controlled fares, and dealt with airline labor unions. Salaries and...

...Club IT, Part Two Nathaniel Rogers BIS219 October 25, 2010 Alanzo White Club IT, Part Two In response to Ruben and Lisa’s request for a full analysis of Club IT’s information needs (Club IT, Part One), over the past few months, I have observed the overall progress and potential of Club IT and have concluded that it has the potential to become one of the most progressive entertainment venues in Newtown. Club IT currently possesses an adequate platform on which to build a state-of-the-art information system that can propel the club into the stratosphere. With some attention directed toward a few strategic areas and a focus on Information Technology (IT), Club IT can become the entertainment topic of discussion. I will discuss these areas in more detail in this paper and make recommendations on certain systems to implement that will provide the tools necessary to position Club IT to reach its full potential. First, allow me to identify three problem areas that deserve considerable attention: (1) customer relations, (2) sales and marketing, and (3) supply chain management. Concerning customer relations, Club IT needs to do more to establish a rapport with current and potential customers outside the physical confines of the club. It is an established fact that many of Club IT’s patrons use some form of electronic or mobile communications device like Blackberry’s, PDA’s, and camera phones (Club IT Part Two). Club IT must capitalize on this widespread opportunity to...
