Price wars are a phenomenon that occurs across companies in various industries throughout the global economic system. In an oligopolistic market structure, players closely monitor the prices of each player and respond to any price cuts. This paper seeks to explore the strategic business methods being employed in the British grocery oligopoly and determine its effects on the economy using a game theoretical model. I will conclude that such price wars will drive independent retailers out of business, leading to a consolidated industry dominated by no more than four U.K. grocery chains. By definition, price wars indicate a state of intense competitive rivalry accompanied by a multilateral series of price reductions. In the short run, price wars can be ‘good’ for consumers due to a lower price structure in existing product offerings, and ‘bad’ for competing companies due to a decrease in profit margins as well as potential threats to its survival. In the long run, dominant firms in the industry could benefit as smaller, marginalized firms are unable to compete and shut down. However, it could be bad for consumers as the remaining firms may agree to increase prices, possibly colluding even beyond the price set prior to the price wars.]]>

Executive compensation at U.S. companies has become dramatically disproportionate relative to the average workers at those companies over the past 25 years. Now, the current global financial crisis is putting a harsh spotlight on executive compensation at financial institutions in particular. This report looks at the basic nature of executive compensation packages and the issues or concerns that have been raised about them. That information provides a context for looking specifically at financial institutions: what makes their executive compensation programs different and how the current financial crisis is going to affect those programs.]]>

As one of our major trading partners and a more democratic alliance within the Middle East, the UAE is a fascinating nation that must be understood from a socioeconomic and geopolitical context. In this light, both travelers to locales such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi, as well as policymakers, alike, will be best equipped to interact effectively with this regional power as a more informed stakeholder.]]>
