Final Decision: The decision I have made for a business relationship with Hungary is to import the consumer good of high end television monitors from Hungary. Hungary is ranked 5th in the world in exporting television monitors and projectors and is increasing every year. Hungary is significantly behind China and Mexico in volume of televisions exported to other countries, but the televisions they do export are higher quality and more specialized. The demand in the United States for high end television monitors is very high. Of all television importers across the world, the United States makes up 31% of those. The TVs imported to the United States over the last year had a value of $30 billion dollars. The next closest country was Germany with a value of $7 billion. These numbers show how large, and how much potential this industry has in the United States. As can be seen

    When there is a surplus of imported goods from foreign countries, the United States slips into a deficit. This deficit is created from the trade balance. The largest quantity of imported goods is the transportation equipment. Between 2006 and 2010, automobiles were the highest ranked import, followed by energy-related products. This surplus of imported vehicles resulted in the inability of American automobile manufacturer to produce comparably priced vehicles. This further resulted in U.S. automobile manufacturers needing to either receive government aid in some cases, or file bankruptcy and close for good. The closing of several automobile manufacturing companies and plants resulted in an increase in the unemployment rate, as displaced workers have been unable to find comparable work.…

    3) The cost of flat-panel displays would increase if all displays sold in the U.S. had to be made in the U.S. which would result in lower sales of flat-panel displays in the U.S. Employment rates would likely be exaggerated in some manner if manufacturing of flat-panel displays moved to the United States. In our opinion this is likely to have a negative impact on the production and sales of flat-panel TVs.…

    Elektra Electronics Company is a business division of a mid-sized company focused on manufacturing and selling a high quality consumer electronic device through high-end marketing channels such as specialty shops and exclusive department stores. These specialty outlets advise and educate customers about the desirable features of different electronic devices. Elektra charges on average 500 per unit to its distributors, who mark it up to 899 when selling to retail customers. After many years of high sales, Elektras sales in the last year had slumped to 150,000 units per year using only 75 of its manufacturing capacity. The decline in demand was because of fast changing technologies and consumer habits, and the recent introduction of a new generation of the electronic device had not increased sales appreciably. Consequently, Elektras senior management believes it is unlikely that the demand for its products will increase significantly in the next three years until conditions improve substantially and Elektra and its high-end competitors introduce the next generation technology. Nonetheless, they remained confident about the long term prospects of their product. Elektra has recently received a proposal from MegaMart Stores, Inc., a leading national chain of discount retail stores. MegaMart wants to buy Elektras product of the same quality as that sold at present through specialty retailers. MegaMart has offered to purchase 50,000 units annually for a three-year period at 374 per unit. It cannot pay a higher price because it plans to retail the product at only 549. While costs are not expected to increase, an inflation clause will allow Elektra to pass on exogenous cost increases. After extensive negotiations, MegaMart has made a take-it-or-leave-it offer and threatened to explore other strategic partners in case Elektra does not accept its offer. Although MegaMarts offer is 25 below Elektras normal price, it may be attractive for Elektra to be an early mover in the…
