At one point in time, creating media conglomerates seemed to be the trend in the industry. In my opinion, TV networks, film studios, newspaper and magazine publishing and music labels are completely different segments of the media environment and a strategy to gain sustainable competitive advantage should be tailored to individual markets. Now, years later the trend is dividing up the conglomerates into smaller companies, with the higher growth TV and film assets staying together, separate from the lower growth businesses like newspaper publishing. With technological advances happening frequently, it seems to make some aspects of the conglomerates, like newspapers obsolete. Most of these large companies that are splitting their conglomerates up have been following the trend of spending most of their resources on the TV network and film studios. In my opinion, to gain a sustainable competitive advantage it is better to be focused on what you are good at rather than trying to be bigger and better than everyone else, “quality vs. quantity”. Therefore, separating their company into two and spending most of their resources on what they do best, TV and film, will allow them to gain a sustainable competitive advantage in the media market. In my opinion I believe that Rupert Murdoch has taken this approach of splitting his company into two because of the changes happening in the media market. Consequently the two separate companies will have different strategies of gaining a sustainable competitive advantage in their own category of media. In an always-changing environment such as the media market with new technology and innovations, a company that wants to be successful must adopt an evolving strategy. News Corp.’s proactive strategy were that prior to this division of assets, Rupert Murdoch had a plan to create a media conglomerate and actively bought smaller companies to widely diversify his assets across the media environment including companies specializing in film,

    The current x-ray machine flat value would be $12,000 each. Each day the hospital uses the current machines to make 8.5 x-rays per day. The average revenue for each x-ray is $65.00.

Looking at the total revenue for the year, $553 per day x 365, the hospital sees revenue of $201845 per year.…

    The managerial style I chose: as HR person I would use Human Relations Managerial Strategy. This strategy helps to coordinate employees and supervise them. The organization is not big so it would be appropriate to have informal (grapevine) communication as well. This strategy will help me motivate employees both extrinsically and intrinsically to enhance task behaviour. With this strategy it will be autocratic decision making, so only top-level management would be able to make decision with minor consultation (Long, 2010). However the opinion of employees is important. Providing comfortable environment for work will increase employees’ motivation, their loyalty and performance.…

    A man stood upon a railroad bridge in northern Alabama, looking down into the swift water twenty feet below. A sentinel at each end of the bridge stood with his rifle in the position known as "support," that is to say, vertical in front of the left shoulder, the hammer resting on the forearm thrown straight across the chest a formal and unnatural position, enforcing an erect carriage of the body. The story describes Peyton Fahrquhar, an old and highly respected family man from Northern, Alabama. A thirty-five year old planter, referred to by military Soldiers as a civilian. The body features were described as good, and clearly described to have a kindly expression to others. Such demeanor made it extremely hard to be expected to have his neck in a noose (hemp). As a slave owner and like other slave owners, a politician, he was naturally an original secessionist and ardently devoted to the Southern cause. A sentinel at each end of the bridge stood with his rifle in the position known as "support," that is to say, vertical in front of the left shoulder, the hammer resting on the forearm thrown straight across the chest -- a formal and unnatural position, enforcing an erect carriage of the body.…
