It is a very important concept that should be implemented in India where total number of mobile subscribers cross 45 crore mark at the end of August 2009. Number portability is also likely to help new entrants into the Indian mobile-services market, such as the Indian joint ventures of Telenor and Etisalat. The move to introduce the MNP comes as the country's mobile subscriber base is expanding fast, sometimes having an impact on network quality. Presently, MNP is already existing in many developing and developed Number portability is countries across the world. likely to help new entrants into the Indian The MNP option will, however, not lead to a dramatic shift by subscribers from one operator to another, as quality of service and netmobile services market work coverage are not significant differentiators in the Indian market. The introduction of number portability in other countries did not lead to a significant shift by subscribers from one operator to another, and in India too there will be an initial churn of up to 20 percent of subscribers, which will then taper off. Usually, customers do more likely to shift if new operator will introduce new services or if another operator introduces an aggressive tariff...

...ANALYSIS OF MARKET COMPETITION, SWITCHING COSTS AND ITS CONSEQUENCES IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS IN NEPAL NAME: SAROJ POUDEL DEGREE: MASTER OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS/MASTER OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COURSE: 7112ICT RESEARCH METHODS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION The economics of switching costs and network effects have achieved a significant amount of popular, as well as professional attention in the last few decades. It is presently defined as the core factor for new Information Technology economy. Switching costs originates, if a consumer demands a product, or its related accessories(hardware or software), of his own purchases to be compatible with each other this creates economies of scope among his purchases from a single supplier. Whereas network effects arise when a user wants his system to be compatible so that s/he can interact or trade with other users, or switch to the same compatible system, which leads to the creation of economies of scope between different incompatible products. Thus these economies of scope impacts the consumer’s buying and switching behavior between various products. The state of lock-in arises when the switching cost is sufficiently high so that the consumer proceeds using the same product rather than switching to the different product. Lock in is the state where the cost of switching exceeds the benefits of switching. Economics of switching costs is the summation of various types of switching costs including: compatibility...

...Creating a Methodology July 20, 2015 Lanika Jones Project Management Dr. Christopher Hase John Compton, the president of the company could not understand why his executive team waited so long to develop an enterprise project management methodology (EPM) for their company. Being that they knew about what steps, how to go about it the start up and the time frame are was going to take to execute this plan. But first when you think about a methodology what it is? A methodology a set of methods, rules, or ideas that are important in a science or art: a particular procedure or set of procedures. When Compton’s executive team was presented with this idea of creating a methodology for his company his team was stagnant with following through because they had to go through the change process. The change process is “when the employees’ initially refuse to admit to the need of change”(Kerzner 98). When a change process come into play when a employees refuse to admit or adapt to the need of change different corporate culture factors need to be put in to play in order for the Compton’s team EPM could be successful. Being that the team had to create a methodology the two cultures that I see fit for the beginning is cooperative cultures and competitive cultures. But in order for the team to understand these cultures is that “good cultures are teamwork, trust, communication and cooperation (Kerzner 99) from all member of the staff. Cooperative culture are base upon trust and...

...ABB Electric Segmentation - Group Case Analysis Team Members: Emeka Ejika John Marceaux Brandon McNabb Todd Teepell Brandon Woods Suppose you are the regional sales manager for ABB Electric, and you have been given a budget for a supplementary direct marketing campaign aimed at 20% of the companies in your region 1. At present, you have information on the Descriptor Data Tab of the ABB Electric Data (Customer Choice).xls spreadsheet about the location of customers (districts 1, 2, and 3) and the sales potential of each account of prospect. Based on this information alone, to what companies would you direct the new direct marketing program? Specify the accounts and customer or prospect types. In order to determine which potential customers to target with a direct marketing campaign we first searched the ‘ABB Descriptor Data’ and identified Customers that we are currently serving to quantify ABB’s market penetration in each District. We then sorted the remaining Customers (Competitor’s clients) by Annual Purchase Volume as it is the only quantifiable metric provided. Next we cross-referenced that with our market penetration in each District. While ABB’s penetration is deepest in District 1 relative to number of customers serviced, District 2 provides the largest source of Annual Purchase Volume by a margin of three times the next closest District (D3). This extreme disparity is the result of one customer with a very large Annual Purchase Volume that is over seventeen...

...exception. A good example is found in the development of the mobile phones. Technological development, embodied in innovative functions developed from the first (1G) to third generation (3G) systems, has played significantly important roles in the growth and upheavals of the Japanese mobile phone market. In addition, development in contents, value-added services which are supplied by related firms formed in the vertical structure, charging systems, handset development; all these have made this small gadget an increasingly important part of daily life. This paper heuristically analyzes the effect of technological innovations and competition policies on the diffusion of 3G mobile phones in Japan. In particular, this paper attempts to identify what are factors to promote the Japanese 3G mobile phone by using panel data analysis. In constructing an estimation model, the number of subscribers to 3G mobile phone services is taken as a dependent variable, while the following three groups of variables (1) GDP and charges, (2) competition policies, and (3) technological innovations are selected as independent variables. The study examines not only the 3G market as a whole but also the three major individual carriers, namely NTT DOCOMO, au (KDDI) and Softbank. In particular, the latter focuses on the different...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report examines the international expansion process of Bharti Airtel as a result of increasing competition in the Indian telecom industry during the last 2-3 years. The report provides a detailed account of the evolution of the Indian telecom industry analysis. It gauges the industry through YIP’s globalization drivers and measures industry attractiveness through Porter’s Five Forces model. It also provides information about the increasing saturation and declining Average Revenue per User (ARPU) and the strategies major operators such as Bharti Airtel, Vodafone, Idea Cellular Ltd, Reliance Telecom Ltd, etc. are following to safeguard their profitability. The report discusses about the two fold strategy of tapping the rural market within India and netting talkers in emerging economies, followed by mobile operators in India to de-risk them. Whether it is the rural Indian market or other emerging markets, operators would be busy acquiring subscribers. This, in turn, may result in erosion in profitability. There is no question of profitability. It is all about registering your presence and building psychological pressure. On the other hand, the Indian market has yet to take-off when it comes to offering data-intensive mobile value-added services like m-commerce, healthcare services, governance, education, information and location-based services. But these areas are already contributing to revenues in many African and Middle Eastern countries. In...

...INTRODUCTION Indian economy is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and thus, companies in India are growing at a faster rate than previous decades. As company grows, their share prices increase and the shareholders of these firms gain a lot from the increasing prices. In India people are realising that equity has potential in ploughing back the returns as compared to the other investment avenues, however, equity valuation should be done in order to receive higher and continuous gains. Equity valuation begins with analysis of the sector where a person wants to invest. If the sector looks positive than evaluation of all the companies in that sector should be done in order to decide upon the investment. The objective of this report is to analyse the credibility of an investment into Reliance Communications Limited. In order to achieve this we will focus upon the organisation’s strategic and financial information. A SWOT analysis will evaluate the potential strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing the business and valuation analysis will tell about the profitability of the company. The methods used for the valuation analysis are: Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis. FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS: Fundamental analysis is a technique that attempts to determine a securities value by focusing on underlying factors that affect a company’s actual business and its future prospects. Fundamental analysts attempt to study everything that can affect the security's...
