#ECU4842 The newest #culturalchange at Amazon is that there are no boundaries of industries in which it can & will participate. Amazon uses its #abundantresources to expand into the banking industry giving it even greater #competitiveadvantages. https://t.co/DSHnv2QATm

#ECU4842 This is a classic example of businesses changing its #businessstrategy to conform to external threats. In this case, the threat of customers boycotting due to recent demands of gun control laws. Ironically, Dick's was caught in a #crossfire. https://t.co/9DatSjNf5E

[Grayson Schwartz @graysonnicolee]

With Dick’s narrowing its #targetmarket by only selling firearms to customers 21+ is really going to cut into their #profits. Although this isn’t their only source of revenue, customers who buy guns also buy other products. https://t.co/0oCPs9mbEm #ecu4842

@business Great interview on #businessculture. How CEO Carlos Brito took a chance because he saw a difference in beliefs and operational norms. His journey started with a scholarship, recruitment and a leap of faith #trustinstincts. #ECU4842

@RobinsonTunesia #ECU4842 Tunesia, I think you found a gem here. This #diversifyingbyacquisition also falls into the #relateddiversification category and #horizontalintegration. Now not only bringing drugs to consumers but also collecting copays and ins premiums. Lower prices 4 consumers?

[Stephen Seiler @stephenmseiler]

Wow Anthony, this is great & yes, funny too! Maybe they can later get a #relateddiversification plan in place and provide these shoes to delivery drivers and employees. #ECU4842. Even a bad idea that flops could still bring attention to the brand. I like it a lot #dumbndumber https://t.co/eD1er974Ka

[Anthony Vallone @vallonea09]

If you needed a good example of #unrelateddiversification, can I propose that you wont find a better example here (certainly not a funnier one): https://t.co/8bVfhD7w2l. I want to change my major to marketing, because if people are making money off this idea, I want in. #ecu4842

#ECU4842 IBM is enforcing a non-compete to protect #diversitystrategies and initiatives. Becoming the first mover of a new strategy could be threatened by the divulging of trade secrets. Non-competes should be upheld, that was part of the deal. Smh @ Microsoft. https://t.co/Hvebr74CLG

[Trade Secrets Inst. @BrooklynlawTSI]

IBM sues Microsoft over the hiring of its chief diversity officer, pointing to an unrelated suit where Microsoft "insisted that internal communications and documents about its diversity data and strategies be filed under seal because they’re so sensitive." https://t.co/VzyOTV57w2

@BrownBrittanyMa #ECU4842 The primary benefit of this acquisition is the quickness of growth. Boosting cyber security requires quick response and #accesstoresources to be effective. Also a response to #hedgebets in hyper competitive environments https://t.co/tDcKY7tSCy

[Stephen Seiler @stephenmseiler]

@hunterbjackson #ECU4842 The #competitiveadvantages of this growth strategy is content. ESPN's focus is on sports, unlike most competitors #niche. The #jointventure with Disney hopes to add Fox's regional sports networks to boost ESPN content range. https://t.co/mNlnkpi6Z9

[Stephen Seiler @stephenmseiler]

#ECU4842 Netflix continues the growth strategy of #backwardintegration by supplying itself with its own programming #netflixoriginals. By creating its own shows Netflix has #differentiated itself from competition and increased market share. https://t.co/0smXfZj4TR

[Stephen Seiler @stephenmseiler]

As the world expands via the web, cyber security becomes of greater importance. @Alphabet's strategy is part proactive and part reactive. #competitivepressures from buyers (high demand) fuels the reactive aspect while being proactive beats the competition to the punch. #ECU4842 https://t.co/wDPVZg18aH

@sadielynnc96 @ToysRUs Business is an ever evolving environment fueled BY #technologicaladvancements. This #PESTEL is affecting @ToysRUs store closings but @ToysRUs is also participating in it as a transition into a new era. #dontblameAmazon :) https://t.co/2SO4h0pq8B

#ECU4842 Protection of #intellectualproperty rights promote #globalization, instilling confidence in innovators to enter of new markets. Counties that adopt strong protection policies create opportunity for its participation in world trade & #economicgrowth. https://t.co/MCx1WyvzPx

@graysonnicolee #ECU4842 RT @graysonnicolee Also an excellent example of #integrating people with technology and #globaljointventures. This type of tracking technology will increase global trade by lowering cost while expanding IBM's cloud customer base exponentially. #greatstrategy

[Stephen Seiler @stephenmseiler]

@Ingrassanov18 @BI_RetailNews #ECU4842 RT @Ingrassanov18 Moves like these will cause Walmart to lose #customerloyalty as described in Ch9 re: #doingtherightthing for its employees. A lot of people already do not like Walmart corp. This cant be helpful for Sam's Club/Walmart public image.

[Stephen Seiler @stephenmseiler]

#ECU4842 An example of unethical practices discussed in Ch9. Hard to believe #corporatebribery is still common practice in some countries and corporations. This behavior keeps countries from being able to participate wholly in globalization.
