    I found Sean Higgins article titled, “States rethink occupational license rules” compelling, considering that licensing rules prove to be more harmful than beneficial economically. From a statistical standpoint, it would appear that no one ultimately benefits. By increasing the use of occupational licensing, consumers are denied the full range of potential services on the market and it creates friction for those who wish to enter it. However, one item I wished Higgins addressed more in-depth concerned why we still have licensing regulations if they’ve continually been proven to be harmful. I concede he stated that most justify it as a public safety precaution, which makes sense for certain fields. My concern, however, is why we have licensing…

    Frist of all, the differences between Matsushita and Sony’s products is one of the primary reason that makes their decision various. In the reading, it reveals that Matsuhita was focusing more on the low-tech products such as NN-MX20WF (their new model mocrowave oven), DVD player, automatic washers and 29-inch TVs. One the contrary, Sony’s product is more distinctive and it emphasizes more on developing new technology. Indeed, Sony has successfully at commercializing new technologies into innoative products such as the transistor radio, tape recorder, Beta- Max video recorder, CD, Walkman, minidisk, DVD and even camera and camcorder. In another words, Matsushita just centrated on being customer intimate but Sony differenticated itself by innovation. Therefore, as we can notice, the functional products of Matsushita have low demand uncertainties, long product life cycle, low profit marginsm low product variety, low stockout cost and low obsolescence but the innovative products of Sony have high demand uncertainties, short product life cycle, high profit margins, high stockout cost and high obsolescence.…

    Their competitors are giving them a hard time like Microsoft with the x box or companies that make televisions also. Besides losing its ability to innovate, Sony also has been to slow in answering to the shift of market demand "How Can Sony Regain Its Competitive Advantage?" (2012). Lower-cost manufacturers from South Korea, China and South American companies, are increasingly undercutting Sony making it harder for them to charge a premium for its products. In 2001, Sony went into a combined venture with Swedish telecommunications equipment company Ericsson. There was no stimulus on the part of Sony to create a superior smartphone product which could gather a premium as the Apple iPhone did. If Sony is to recover its competitive advantage, they need to get back to creating innovative products that consumers see as unique and provides value. Consumers have much more choosing power and competition is…

    A SWOT and PEST analysis indicates that economic and social circumstances are favourable for Sony’s products and during this time Sony’s traditional strengths such as its diversity, global presence and spirit of innovation have ensured that the company remains a key force but there also exists a number of weaknesses such as it’s culture of ‘super-excellence’, resistance to (internal) change, missed opportunities such as the MP3 player market & new gaming demographics and an over-reliance on the success of too few new products. Fortunately threats such as a HD-DVD/Blue-Ray standardisation war and competitor competition in the next round of the cyclic console war have been partially handled through alliances with other companies to attempt to maximise the potential demand for Sony products in these important sectors. However it is critical for Sony to recognise its weaknesses, taking appropriate action and continue to not only consider it’s current competitors but it must also keep an awareness of new emerging Asian competitors that we have termed ‘Chony’.…

    In the summer of 2011, the city of London, England was disheveled. With what started as a simple police brutality protest soon turned the city upside down with riots clustering in almost every borough. Parliament abruptly returned from their summer holidays to quickly address the chaos dismantling their city’s wellbeing. Just under 2,000 riot related arrests were made by the Metropolitan police and just under 4,000 throughout the entire country by the end of September. 73% of those arrests were charged with burglary and public order offences. Although the riots resulted in advanced criminal tracking and identification, the rioters used social media resources to commit organized burglary, arson, and other various crimes to cause enormous damage to the city.…
