Chapter 9.5, Problem 9.70ACB
Dynamics of the buyer-seller relationship. An article in Industrial Marketing Management (January 2016) investigated the dynamics of the buyer-seller relationship—in particular, the relationship between a large software development company (the seller) and a large mobile telecommunications firm (the buyer). On the basis of interviews with employees of both firms involved in the transaction, the researchers identified two factors that drive the buyer-seller dynamic: (1) Adaptation of sales process (high or low) and (2) Knowledge of buying process (high or low). The four combinations of Adaptation and Knowledge (with descriptions of the buyer-seller adaptation dynamic) are shown in the table. Consider an experiment in which you want to determine the effects of these two factors on final sales price. Data on final sales price will be collected for each of the four types of buyer-seller adaptation dynamics and an ANDVA performed.
| High Knowledge | Low Knowledge | |
| High Adaptation | Strategic adaptation | Proactive adaptation |
| Low Adaptation | Reactive adaptation | Ad hoc adaptation |
- a. Identify the experimental design used.
- b. How many treatments are in this experiment? Name them.
- c. If factor interaction is detected, what can you conclude?
- d. Suppose no factor interaction is detected, but a main effect for Knowledge is detected. What can you conclude?

Define A Competitive-Hunter Model ?
(PUBLIC HEALTH) What is an example of a deterministic model of causality and probabilistic (stochastic) causality?
Economic growth typically results in rising standards of living and prosperity. However, it also invites negative externalities such as environmental degradation due to overexploiting of natural resources. As such, the world is confronted with the dilemma of growth versus environmental sustainability. Developing a model explaining the disparity of economic development concentrating on drivers such as tourism sustainability, technological innovation and the quality of leadership would be important not only to facilitate future economic growth in developing countries, but also to the environmental and sociocultural sustainability which ultimately lead to global sustainable development. The present research objective is to develop and test framework of sustainable development by considering the elements of tourism, technological innovation, and national leadership. This further would facilitate growth, environmental and socio-cultural sustainability. Understanding the integration of…

Mendoza & Company, a national pharmaceutical firm, has positioned itself as a specialist in the production of both antidepressants and sleeping pills. Mendoza's current business model describes the following breakdown of America's approximately 50 million adults suffering from insomnia: 17% use both antidepressants and sleeping pills regularly, 24% use only antidepressants regularly, 15% use only sleeping pills regularly, and the remaining 44% use neither antidepressants nor sleeping pills regularly. A recent issue of the psychiatry journal Patterns contains a study on insomnia. In the study, 200 American adults suffering from insomnia (but otherwise chosen at random) were asked about their use of antidepressants and sleeping pills. The breakdown of their answers is given by the top row…arrow_forward

They found that children who participated in the program showed higher levels of educational attainment, socioeconomic status, and job skills, as well as lower rates of substance abuse, felony arrest, and incarceration, than those who did not receive school-based early education. One possible theory for the success of this program is that improving school readiness improved the children's success in school. The improved success in school in turn improved their readiness for adulthood, resulting in increased job skills and socioeconomic status as well as lower rates of substance abuse.arrow_forwardThe DoorCo Corporation is a leading manufacturer of garage doors. All doors are manufactured in their plant in Carmel, Indiana, and shipped to distribution centers or major customers. DoorCo recently acquired another manufacturer of garage doors, Wisconsin Door, and is considering moving its wood door operations to the Wisconsin plant. Key considerations in this decision are the transportation, labor, and production costs at the two plants. Complicating matters is the fact that marketing is predicting a decline in the demand for wood doors. The company developed the following three scenarios Scenario 1 (Probability of happening 0.15): Demand falls slightly, with no noticeable effect on productionScenario 2 (Probability of happening 0.40): Demand and production decline 20%Scenario 3 (Probability of happening 0.45): Demand and production decline 40% The following table shows the total costs under each decision and scenario.arrow_forward
- Chapter 1, Section 1, Exercise 019 Trans-Generational Effects of EnvironmentWe ask whether experiences of parents can affect future children and describe a study that suggests the answer is yes. A second study, described in the same reference, shows similar effects. Young female mice were assigned to either live for two weeks in an enriched environment or not. Matching what has been seen in other similar experiments, the adult mice who had been exposed to an enriched environment were smarter (in the sense that they learned how to navigate mazes faster) than the mice that did not have that experience. The other interesting result, however, was that the offspring of the mice exposed to the enriched environment were also smarter than the offspring of the other mice, even though none of the offspring were exposed to an enriched environment themselves. One variable is whether or not the young female mice lived in an enriched environment and another variable is how fast the offspring…arrow_forwardThe queuing systems inside of McDonald's and Taco Bell/Wendy's were the subject of analysis.
