Assignment 2: Operations Decision

Using the
regression results and the other computations from Assignment 1, determine the
market structure in which the low-calorie food company operates.

low-calorie microwavable food industry, and take note of their pricing
strategies, profitability, and their relationships within the industry
(worldwide).

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

1.Outline a plan that will assess the effectiveness of the market structure for
the company’s operations.
2.Suppose the business operations have now changed from the market structure
specified in the scenario. Determine two (2) likely factors that might have
caused the change. Predict the primary manner in which this change would likely
impact business operations in the new market environment.
3.Analyze the major short-run and long-run production and cost functions for
the low-calorie microwaveable food company. Suggest substantive ways in which
the low-calorie food company may use this information in order to make
decisions in both the short-run and the long-run.
4.Determine the possible circumstances under which the company should
discontinue operations. Suggest key actions that management should take in
order to confront these circumstances. Provide a rationale for your response.
5.Suggest one (1) pricing policy that will enable your low-calorie microwavable
food company to maximize profits. Provide a rationale for your suggestion.
6.Outline a plan, based on the information provided in the scenario, that the
company could use in order to evaluate its financial performance. Consider all
the key drivers of performance, such as company profit or loss for both the
short term and long term, and the fundamental manner in which each factor
influences managerial decisions.
7.Recommend two (2) actions that the company could take in order to improve its
profitability and deliver more value to its stakeholders. Outline, in brief, a
plan to implement your recommendations.
