Read the following article and answer the questions listed in regard to argument mapping. Adapt or perish: Australia Post must embrace digital disruptionMost industries are vulnerable to digital disruption of established business models. The question is whether industry should seize the opportunity to reposition themselves in a changing market. Or whether they should wait to be disrupted by external forces, with the prospect of a one-way ticket to oblivion.A new report by UTS Business School for the McKell Institute shows that the pace of digital transformation is now disrupting one of the government’s largest and most iconic business enterprises – Australia Post.Traditionally, mail volumes have grown in alignment with GDP growth. But between 2008-09 and 2013-14, mail volume declined by 25% to 4.5 billion items. This, in turn, has contributed to a major deterioration in financial performance. In the first half of 2014-15, the loss in the mail business was A$151 million and it is…

Vistakon makes Acuvue TruEye and Acuvue Moist contact lenses. The following is Vistakon’s production possibilities frontier (PPF) for the two kinds of contact lenses. Use the graph to answer the questions below. If Vistakon is currently producing 2.5 billion Acuvue TruEye and 1.5 billion Acuvue Moist contact lenses per year, is it using its available resources efficiently or not? Why or why not? What is Vistakon’s opportunity cost of increasing Acuvue TruEye production from 1.5 billion to 2.5 billion lenses per year (in terms of Acuvue Moist contact lenses)? What will happen to the given Vistakon’s PPF if new technology facilitates production of Acuvue TruEye contact lenses? Show graphically (upload graphs below). What will happen to the given Vistakon’s PPF if materials for producing both kinds of contact lenses become more easily available and cheaper? Show graphically (upload graphs below).
