The Method of Estimating International Market’s Potential From Perspective of Expansion

Following article describes scoring method for international market from perspective of expansion, based on criteria’s that is widely used in economics and marketing. The idea of the method is estimating international market’s potential by using the criteria system and choosing most suited entering strategy by following an algorithm. Estimation of international market’s perspective contains quantitative data, for analyzing competition environment of sectorial market, possible targeted audience and logistics performance. The method can be used by any organization, regardless of its size or industry specifics, for estimating international’s market potential from perspective of expansion.

THE CONCEPTUAL BASES OF MULTINATIONAL AND GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS ENVIRONMENT AND STRATEGIC ALLIANCES

Under the conditions of integration of national markets global competition environment is created in international markets. As a result of this competitors compete based on price and related conditions of competition. In the context of global competition the competitiveness of rival companies is proportional to its global competitive advantage. In the context of global competition, the competitiveness of rival companies is proportional to its global competitive advantage. In a multinational competition, companies are struggling for leadership in the national market and in a global competition, they fight for leadership in the world. In a certain network at the same time, one can observe both global and interstate multinational competition. This paper evaluates the increasingly important role and the interdependencies between multinational and global competition, technological innovations and the theory of international production.

Silver-spoon upbringing improves early-life fitness but promotes reproductive ageing in a wild bird

SummaryEarly-life conditions can have long-lasting effects and organisms that experience a poor start in life are often expected to age at a faster rate. Alternatively, individuals raised in high-quality environments can overinvest in early-reproduction resulting in rapid ageing. Here we use a long-term experimental manipulation of early-life conditions in a natural population of collared flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis), to show that females raised in a low-competition environment (artificially reduced broods) have higher early-life reproduction but lower late-life reproduction than females raised in high-competition environment (artificially increased broods). Reproductive success of high-competition females peaked in late-life, when low-competition females were already in steep reproductive decline and suffered from a higher mortality rate. Our results demonstrate that “silver-spoon” natal conditions increase female early-life performance at the cost of faster reproductive ageing and increased late-life mortality. These findings demonstrate experimentally that natal environment shapes individual variation in reproductive and demographic ageing in nature.
