Think about the last time you visited a local retailer, preferably one that has commissioned salespeople. For example, an electronics store (PC Richards), furniture store (Raymour & Flanigan), or department store (Bloomingdale’s) and discuss your shopping experience.
In your opinion, how effective was the salesperson. What did they do to try to build a relationship with you? What sales techniques did they use? Did they discuss FAB with you?
Submit your response in approx. a 1 page document. Be sure to spell check & proof read.

Preparation
The following video is about many of Cournot’s contributions. Pay attention to the demonstration here of the Cournot Duopoly as a Nash equilibrium. The video nicely illustrates this complicated model with pictures—no math! This is exactly the game we play in this week’s discussion.

Your instructor may also post additional resources to help further explain concepts related to this week’s discussion.
Context
In our Managerial Economics textbook, we consider a sequential-move game in which an entrant is considering entering an industry in competition with an incumbent firm (see Figure 15-1). There are several possibilities of how this sequential game will be played. We want to use the Froeb rule of “look ahead and reason back.”
Post a Response
For your discussion post, use Figure 15-1 from the textbook as your starting point to address the following:
Play and analyze the game. Can, and how does, the entrant succeed? Is the incumbent ever in control of this game? What is the Nash equilibrium?
You may wish to review the old game known as Duopoly, as well as Antoine-Augustin Cournot, to help inform your post.

Answer:

Hello, thank you for your help thus far.
I would like you to further extend the depth of the paper you wrote. I would like an additional 10 sources to be added to the literature review. Additionally, instead of just added completely new arguments/ paragraphs, you can also simply extend the arguements you have already made with more in depth examples and additional references. For example, you have written the following:
“The influence of culture as a barrier to lean implementation is further analyzed by Bakke and Johansen (2019), who argue that employees and managers may be unwilling to think and act based on the requirements of lean practices. For example, they may be reluctant to think of organizational processes in terms of reducing waste and customer value. ” Here you given an example of how they are reluctant, but you can extend it by finding out “why” they are reluctant (and use an additional source or the same source to drive the point home).
Another example is here:
“. Additionally, Nguyen and Ngo (2023) indicate that further barriers to lean implementation include the costs. Technologies to support the application of lean principles in organizations are costly, which hinders the effective implementation of lean practices.” Here you could given a rough ball number from the paper you are referencing to show how expensive it is maybe.
With the added word count, you can make the introduction and conclusion more detailed perhaps. And maybe go further into the relevance of this research, and why companies should care about improving accounting practices.
Also could you perhaps make more reference to the financial reporting standards of IFRS when talking about the effect of lean accounting on this standard. what are the principles that IFRS requires companys to follow or what are the qualitative and essential characteristics of the information reported to comply to this accounting standard and does lean accounting make it easier to comply or harder? These characteristics are listed in the IFRS reference you used in the paper.
If anything is confusing or you need more guidance please tell me.
Since having to be in hospital, you have been such a great help. Thank you again.
I put the sources in the order portal as 30 but you just need to add 10 additional ones to the 20 you already have in the paper.
