Too much protection from the government
According to (Rabiul Islam, Ahmad Bashawir Abdul Ghani, Bobby Kusuma and Eric Teh Yew Hong, 2016), to protect the local automobile industry, the Malaysian government has maintained a number of protective measures. It is important to protect the national car since it is still an infant industry. These measures aim to ensure that manufacturers and suppliers are ready to prepare themselves for domestic competition and eventually compete in the international markets. These protective measures include tariff and non-tariff barriers, the local content policies and licensing systems. There are only two national car manufacturers, Proton and Perodua in Malaysia. If to base on the journal above, it is important to protect our national automobile as it is still an infant industry, but Malaysia’s Proton has been in Malaysia industry since 1983 while Perodua has been in this industry since 1994 after launched their first car which is Kancil. Hence, our automobile industry cannot be considered as an infant industry anymore.
According to (Leow and Husin, 2015), in Malaysia, to ensure the competitive advantage of local car manufacturers, AP or approved permits were introduced over 20 years ago to ensure that imported cars were priced significantly expensive than local car manufacturers like Proton and

This is because, in comparison of Proton and Perodua, Proton is the one who facing the biggest problem. According to New Straits Times on 30 March 2017, Proton have received soft loans from the government around RM1.5 billion, yet they cannot increase their production nor sales. On 2016, Proton sales volume was at 72,290 units, while Perodua recording sales volume of 207,110 units. Also in 2016, while Perodua's market share was at 40 per cent, Proton recorded only 14 per cent. Even its revenue has consistently dropped from RM7.7 billion in 2013 to 4.8 billion in financial year
· The threat from buyers to integrate backward and produce the industry product themselves: Since barriers to entry for automotive industry is high, this threat seems to be difficult to happen, therefore lowering the buyer’s power.
This paper explores the practice of the APRNs autonomy in the state of Georgia and compares it with other states. Also to advocate for policy recommendations of the APRNs scope of practice that are needed to improve the healthcare in the state of Georgia. APRNs are registered nurses that provide continuous care and treatment in many different areas, such as pediatrics, primary care, acute care, maternity, mental health and chronic disease management. APRNs also have advanced education, training, and national certification in specific areas of practice. Even with the changing and expanding of healthcare, APRNs continue to face challenges in practicing to the full extent of
From the last two decades auto industry is growing more competitive. Competition from the foreign automakers like Toyota and Honda is also high. In
The PPACA, as amended by the Health Care Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, is far–reaching legislation that will change how millions of Californians access health care coverage. The PPACA, often referred to as federal health care reform, will also change the structure and availability of coverage, thereby making it easier for more Californians to purchase and maintain it.
These barriers include, but are not limited to, the following: large established competitors, high capital requirements, limited initial access to distribution networks, and environmental regulations. Due to the existence of massive brand name manufacturers like General Motors and Ford, any new entrants in the automobile industry will be competing with companies benefiting from strong customer loyalty, economies of scale, and impressive marketing budgets. Therefore, new entrants must be able to achieve the difficult task of entering automotive manufacturing at high capacity while simultaneously building a solid consumer base. Such an entry would be quite expensive, especially in conjunction with the billions of dollars needed to construct high-volume manufacturing facilities and develop effective distribution networks to deliver new automobiles. Finally, new entrants must be able to design and manufacture their automobiles according to contemporary environmental regulations. Abiding by such regulations would further drain new entrants’ funds. Overall, entering the automotive industry competitively requires an exorbitant amount of money, so the threat of new entrants is low.
The APTN is the Aboriginal People’s Television Network in Canada that was established with government support in 1992. Currently it is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba and produces programing that focuses on Indigenous Peoples in Canada and the United States. It is the first network that is made by and for Aboriginal Peoples. The real kick off for the APTN happened in 1980 when the Therrien Committee Report showed that the Aboriginal people, particularly in the north, were developing a strong interest in developing their own media services that more tailored to their views as an indigenous people, and that it was the responsibility of the government to provide support to create broadcasting that enforced their languages and
Given the current economic climate, I think the automotive industry is going to be faced with a multitude of economic challenges in the next five years. As an oligopoly market, the auto industry is highly dependent on strategic decision-making, and the demand for dynamic innovation and supply at decreased-cost levels. Competition, possibilities of turning substitutes into compliments, and shifts toward higher demand in services are seemingly leading factors that face the current automotive industry in the immediate future. But first, we should not ignore the political forces at play within the market.
In this heavily pretreated patient population, pemetrexed, a 2nd generation antifolate agent produced an objective response of 26% (4/15) in patients with thymoma. 2 complete responses and 2 partial responses were documented, whereas there was only one partial response in patients with thymic carcinoma. The response rate of 9% in patients with thymic carcinoma suggests that pemetrexed is not active in this more aggressive phenotype. This is the first study to prospectively demonstrate the clinical activity of pemetrexed in thymic malignancies and solidifies the role of pemetrexed in the second line, and beyond in advanced thymoma. Prior to this, a Phase I trial of pemetrexed conducted in Japan demonstrated a partial response in one patient
When determining the APRNs safety of care, little research has been published. The evidenced that is available states that the mortality rate was similar to that of the physician (Stanik-Hutt et al., 2013). MEDICATION? ADD SOMETHING HERE TO PROVE THE NP ARE SAFE
The automotive industry designs, develops, manufactures, markets and sells motor vehicles, and is one of the world’s most important economic divisions by profits. This analysis focuses on the industry, specifically, manufacturers of automobiles. There are five competitors in the StratSim environment: Firm A, B, C, D, and E. Industry sales in the most recent year were 4.3 million units, with expected growth in the next year. Within this industry, there are seven-vehicle classes: Economy, Family, Luxury, Sports, Minivan, Truck, and Utility. There are two new classes with potential – if properly marketed.
Competition is good for producers but better for consumers, more competition in the market means more: ideas, channels of distribution, market stability and competitive (lower) prices for consumers. Ultimately, healthy competition forces producers to offer better products and services at lower prices. Automobiles provide people with “…aspirational value in addition to a basic mode of transportation…” (Reinhardt, Yao & Egawa, 2006) consumers make purchasing “decision based on the styling, color, and concept of the cars in addition to functions and pricing” (Reinhardt, Yao & Egawa, 2006). So far, TMC has been trying to catch up with Honda and Nissan in the ‘innovative’ department. Let’s not forget the criticism the company previously faced for offering its customers “…proliferation of look-alike cars…and following rather than setting a trend” (Reinhardt, Yao & Egawa, 2006).Since, Mr.

In 2002, the Indian government formulated an “Auto Policy” which aims at promoting integrated, phased, and self-sustained growth of the Indian automobile industry.
One of the problems faced by Malaysian Automotive Industry is reputation. For many years Proton car is always being branded as a cheap and below par car manufacturer. Due to this unwanted reputation, consumers are sceptical about Malaysian cars where it does not guarantee any assurance. Since Proton was formed in 1985, Proton managed to breakthrough in domestic and international market as an affordable car. But over the years, Proton has compete aggressively with other automotive manufacturers due to localization of many foreign manufacturers in Malaysia. Due to the localization, foreign cars has been in the market in lower prices. This makes Proton as a car that does not have resale value because the pricing of Malaysian cars depreciates rapidly each year.
