Paper #1; Due 15 October 2017
Class:
You have been assigned to an Acquisition Planning Team (APT) for the US Government. The APT has developed an IGCE that will form the basis of the budget contemplated in a solicitation to eventually contract the Multi-functional Hyperwidget Package (MHP) that includes hardware, software, and non-developmental support. The resultant Contract will be a multi-year requirement within a notional budget in the range of $10M, but not to exceed $15M.
Under this scenario you must provide documentation to support the basic cost/price elements estimates that are included in the IGCE below. The documentation should indicate rationale for how each of these elements are typically derived in the estimation process. This information will be helpful for the Contracting Officer to verify the reliability of IGCE, and how it was prepared. Further, the information will be used in the approval process, and to provide insight into the contract type and future negotiations.
Keep your thoughts organized by placing a space between paragraphs, and use HEADINGS to match the requirements. Your exposition should reflect considerable thought and go beyond restating large literature passages. A minimum of four peer reviewed sources are required, with attribution, in accordance with APA guidelines.
Your total response scope should be no more than the equivalent of 4, and no less than 3, typed, double-spaced pages of content, not including the title, reference, extraneous tables or lists, and exhibits. Abstracts are not required, and should not be included. This paper is worth 25 points and is due on October 15, 2017. You are required to observe and pay strict attention to the Academic Integrity Policies and Guidelines in your writing.
The information in the scenario is all that you need for this assignment. However, you are permitted to make clearly stated assumptions to support additional information that you need for your Paper.

Porter-s-Diamond-of-National-Advantage-
For the Porter’s Diamond of National Advantage I chose to look at a major company that is in the United States and has really become a major international player in their industry. That company is none other than Walmart. Walmart because of it nature faces a large amount of competition anywhere that it goes and always faces some sort of backlash as well. Most of this is due to the fact that they typically drive out the smaller businesses that were typically in that area.
Something that Walmart brings to the table is technology and innovation and this is a direct reflection of the factor conditions on Porters Diamond. Because they are on such a large scale Walmart has essentially untapped potential and the ability to acquire anything that they need in order to succeed. On top of this they can carry losses for a specific amount of time just to be able to experience the success that other business would not be able to.
The demand conditions are something that Walmart is able to tap into quite readily and easily. While they do experience a great amount of competition, it is more likely than not that Walmart is going to be able to provide products at a much cheaper price than the competitors that are in that area. (Govindarajan & Gupta, 2002) Essentially every country that Walmart operates in they have major competitors. In France they have Carrefour SA, in Germany it is Metro AG, in the United Kingdom there is Tesco, Loblaw Companies in Canada, and Ahold in the Netherlands. (Soni, 2015) However even with this competition there is a steady demand for a company like Walmart. Someone that can offer the wide range of products at lower than competitor rates.
With related and supporting industries Walmart has a solid foot print as they have become established in a number of different countries. (Statista, 2016) Because they have done so they are able to be that strong global competitor. They have a number of different distribution centers that are located throughout the world and they even make a number of their own products. (Govindarajan & Gupta, 2002) When you combine these two aspects they turn into a very powerful global player and can essentially name their own price when it comes to a logistics stand point.
Finally you have the firm strategy, structure, and rivalry. As previously stated Walmart is going to have that rivalry and it does not matter what country they are operating in. This company operates 6.189 stores on the global market and another 4,987 in the United States. (Soni, 2015) They are used to that competition and as a direct result of this they know how to adjust the structure and strategy to combat these issues. Cultural differences are something that is learned over time and with Walmart being as big as they are, they are able to study the competition and how they operate long before they attempt to move into that country.

Business-313-Review-the-corporate-strategy-of-AB-Electrolux
Review the corporate strategy of AB Electrolux: found here: http://group.electrolux.com/en/category/about/
As the social and demographic trends continue to evolve so do the opportunities afforded to Electrolux. The most significant demographic shift globally is the growing middle class in Asia, which includes families with incomes between US$6,000 and US$30,000. It is estimated that by 2030 there will be 3 billion more people in the global middle class than there were in 2013.(Ernst & Young, 2013)
Correlated with rising incomes worldwide, homeownership has also increased at a substantial rate giving rise to increased demand for consumer durables such as refrigerators, washing machines, and dishwashers. (Electrolux, 2013)
