Submission Date: 2014 Task Your task is to carry out a critical analysis and evaluation of the strategies adopted by global telecommunications providers, using the information provided and other materials researched. You will be expected to select and apply appropriate theories, techniques and models studied during the module whilst having regard to the practical aspects of strategy development. Your assignment should be presented in a business report format and should be within the range 3,500 ± 10% words (excluding executive summary/abstract, references and relevant appendices). The report should include a title page and abstract and be fully and consistently It is recommended that you research information additional to the case study to support your lication of THEORETICAL CONCEPTS studied in the module to the ‘practical’ case study presented. In other words, you should proceed beyond a DESCRIPTION of the company and its actions. You should be analysing ‘why’ rather then describing ‘what’. The assignment will be assessed and moderated by two members of staff in accordance with the marks allocated to each of the questions detailed below. 10% of the marks are set aside for the ‘presentation’ criteria. Academic Rigour • your ability to isolate the key strategic issues • the coherence and depth of the analysis of those issues • the ability to analyse the strategy context within which companies operates • the ability to critically review and evaluate strategic decisions made by companies Methodology • the use of relevant evidence, from material provided and personal research to support any statements made • the appropriateness of the methods used and theoretical models and frameworks applied • the breadth and depth of research undertaken Evaluation of data • the ability to make sound recommendations or conclusions arising from the analysis • the soundness of arguments put forward Presentation • the summary of arguments • report layout and format

1. Describe the law of demand. 2. Describe the law of supply 3. Draw a supply and demand diagram. Label each axis, the demand curve, the supply curve, the equilibrium price, and the equilibrium quantity. 4. Cons demand curve shifts to the right. This will create a new equilibrium price and ider that a market begins in equilibrium. If there is an increase in demand, it means that the quantity a. Compared to the old equilibrium price, is the new equilibrium price higher or lower? Compared to the old equilibrium quantity, is the new equilibrium quantity higher or lower
