increase difficulty for completing differentiation. Moreover‚ client companies tend to limit ODM use to highly commoditized products commoditized products. There is also inherent risk associated with the need of frequent technology innovation. Low switching costs also weaken the competitive advantage of Inventec since most of the PCs use Intel microprocessors. Moving to China was no longer consider as an advantage for Inventec since other rivalries will have the same cost structure. 2. New entrants

appreciate against other currencies and slowed down the high inflation rate (10% in 1981) during that same period of time. Irish controller’s main worry was that the dollar will be likely to depreciate. Over the last 2 years inflation has fallen to 5%‚ much lower than the 10% rate in 1981. A lower inflation rate could result in the US government lowering interest rates‚ which could cause the US dollar to decline. Increasing trading deficit‚ lower inflation‚ and lower interest rate signals a possible

Time Based ACLs are a specific time that traffic is allowed on the network. When the device determines that an ACL applies to a packet‚ it tests the packet against the rules. The first matching rule determines whether the packet is permitted or denied. If there is no match‚ the device applies a default rule. The device processes packets that are permitted and drops packets that are denied. “ACLs protect networks and specific hosts we would be able to specify certain days and hours of which the user

According to Zazkis (2000)‚ “code switching can be described as alternation in use of more than one language in a single speech act.” (p. 38). Code-switching is common in schools where there is a high population of Hispanic students in the U.S. However‚ is not limited to the U.S. Other countries like Malaysia‚ Malta and Nigeria‚ also report the use of code-switching in their classrooms. The use of technology in math classrooms can help students to

Electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return" or "earth ground". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an

Universal Circuits’ Case Assignment Does the Universal Circuits’ Irish controller have a convincing argument for the weakness of the dollar? Why or why not? How would you interpret the evidence? The controller of the Irish division does have a valid point when stating that the U.S. dollar is in a vulnerable position due to the fact that its trade deficit is currently in excess of $100 billion and growing. (see Exhibit 1). While Universal Circuits’ chief financial officer‚ Joe Merrill‚ is correct
