Market Capturing and Business Expansion Strategy for Gluten-Free Foods in India and USA Using PESTEL Model

The ultimate goal for any business is to grow vertically and horizontally. Successful business is combination of careful analysis of external and internal factor of business environment and adoption of appropriate business strategy. In this study external factors of gluten-free market are studied in detail through PESTEL model (for external factors). The study would facilitate manufacturers to bring gluten-free foods from niche market to main stream market and to make it more affordable for all the sections of the society. The study focuses on markets of India and USA, since both of these nations have high potential for gluten-free foods and the demand further continues to increase every year>>>ClickHere>>>

The Strategic Entry Behavior Choices of Firms under Minimum Quality Standard

In order to analyze the strategic entry behavior choices of firms under minimum quality standard, a basic model is made under the endogenous minimum quality standard. An industry’s competitiveness and the level of performance tend to be subject to the entry conditions and the ease of entry. For entrants, the basic entry technological constraint is the minimum quality standard. In differentiated products markets, when there is no minimum quality standard and the entry cost is small, the entrant’ profit is the same, whether they choose the high quality or low quality to enter the product market. While in the case of endogenous minimum quality standard, the incumbent may choose to produce low quality products, and the entrant may choose to produce high quality products, which lead to the lack of competition in product markets. Therefore, government should create an open and competitive market environment and efficient policy guidance for firms.>>ClickHere>>>

Research on Marketing Strategy of Huawei Mobile Phone in European Market

At present, telecommunication equipment follows the trend of scientific and technological development and continues to provide a steady stream of power for the promotion of economic and information globalization. Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. has gradually become a major supplier in China by providing various network solutions for telecom operators. Huawei’s mobile phones and other products have also achieved international layout. R&D institutions, market branches, and joint ventures have been established in many European countries. However, in the face of increasing demand from overseas markets, the fierce competition in the international telecommunications market, and the challenges and opportunities continue to stand out in the context of economic globalization. How Huawei optimizes its existing European brands and implements innovative marketing strategies to form the company’s core competitiveness which is a key issue on the road of internationalization. This article mainly researches the current European marketing strategy of Huawei mobile phone products, and puts forward reasonable suggestions.>>ClickHere>>>

Product-Level Trade Elasticities

The paper estimates trade elasticities at the product level (6-digit of the Harmonized System comprising more than 5,000 product categories) by exploiting the variation in bilateral applied tariffs for each product category for the universe of available country pairs. This is done by constructing a panel of bilateral applied tariffs and bilateral trade covering the period 2001 to 2016. We address potential endogeneity issues as well as heteroskedasticity and selection bias due to zero flows. The obtained elasticities are centered around -6. We finally highlight the differences in the gains from trade arising from considering heterogeneous rather than average trade elasticities. All product level elasticities are made publicly available for sake of scrutiny and use by other researcher>>ClickHere>>>

The international trade position of Argentina. Towards a process of export diversification

This study analyses how far the strong expansion of Argentine exports since 2003 has been due simply to favourable external conditions and how industrial manufactures have behaved. It finds that the country’s pattern of international specialization has not greatly altered at the major category level, but that both primary products and manufactures of agricultural origin, which account for much of the trade surplus, have undergone significant changes in composition. In addition, regional trade has consolidated and traditional partners such as the European Union and the United States have been displaced to some extent by China. Industrial manufactures have continued to suffer from a strong comparative disadvantage, but certain high-technology industrial sectors, such as agricultural machinery and pumps and compressors, have started to become competitive, while seamless oil and gas tubing is already highly competitive>>ClickHere>>>

rom Theory to Policy with Gravitas: A Solution to the Mystery of the Excess Trade Balances

Bilateral trade balances often play an important role in the international trade policy debate. Academic economists understand that they are misleading indicators of competitiveness and of the gains from trade. However, they also recognize their political relevance, calling for accurate statistical measurement and for more scholarly work. Disturbingly, Davis and Weinstein (2002) argue that the canonical gravity model of trade fails when confronted with bilateral trade balances data, dubbing this “The Mystery of the Excess Trade Balances”. Capitalizing on the latest developments in the theoretical and empirical gravity literature, we demonstrate that the workhorse international trade model actually performs well in explaining bilateral trade balances. Moreover, in our data, only 11 to 13% of the variance in bilateral balances is due to asymmetric trade costs, belying beliefs that bilateral imbalances are driven by ‘unfair’ manipulation of terms-of-trade. We also perform several general equilibrium experiments within the same structural gravity framework to show that free trade agreements tend to exacerbate bilateral imbalances and that macroeconomic rebalancing leads to adjustment with all trade partners>>ClickHere>>>
