The Market. In The Netherlands the sales of the Dutch PTT constitutes approximately Nlg 11 billion per annum. Approximately one quarter of that volume is generated through international telecommunication, the target market for MTC. The total amount of calling minutes per annum for all outward international calls for the Western European territory, not including the UK, is approximately 13.99 billion. Considering that on average each minute represents approximately Nlg 2,- in revenue, the international calling volume in Dutch Guilders would therefore be approximately 28 billion per annum (or US$ 17,5 billion). This volume is enormous indeed, and provides the relevant background to MTC WE marketing efforts. Projected sales by MTC WE over 1996 of US$ 5.2 million (approximately Nlg 8 million) would constitute a market share of 0,029%, which is marginal in relative terms. The world-wide market for Call-Hack services was estimated US$ 80 million in 1993, US$ 330 million in 1994, and is expected to grow to approximately US$ one billion within five years. The Call-Back market has been growing, and will continue to grow at an explosive rate. Presently a detailed market study is being conducted in which the important competitors of MTC are being analysed in terms of respective market share, rates, quality of service, and market positioning. However, based on past studies a great deal of information on the competition has already been obtained. From this information, it appears that within the segment of call back providers, MTC occupies a unique position in the market. The direct competitor in this area is Telegroup Inc., an American company that started its services approximately 5 years ago. Telegroup is rivalling MTC in size and sales volume. However, it is evident that the medium and longer term strategy of MTC is stronger and better developed, with clear competitive advantages. Regarding the present situation, MTC has a clear advantage over Telegroup in terms of : . rates, . quality of lines, . reliability of connections, . capacity . time needed to connect a new client to the system, . response time of the call back system. . availability of reliable dialler systems In all of these areas MTC has distinct and quantifiable advantages. The main disadvantage of MTC so far, has been the unavailability of discounts on the intra-European calls. These discounts have been available to Telegroup for nearly a year. However, as of August 1995, MTC has introduced competitive discounts...

The Market. Contrary to popular opinion, Luxury vehicle sales have not collapsed as much as their non-Luxury counterparts. Luxury vehicle sales generally benefited from financially healthier dealerships, better leasing, certified pre-owned programs and loyal customers. Therefore, sales are expected to rebound more quickly than mass market cars. Others note that there is growing interest in Luxury vehicles from emerging markets such as China and Russia. In June, 2010 Global Economic Report (a publication of Scotia Bank) published that there has been a 17% year over year gain in U.S. passenger vehicle sales. That’s good news; however, domestically the economy continues to stagnate. Cars are a necessity and with lease expirations and there is a need to replace vehicles. The price conscious consumer is more likely to look for a bargain and use XxxxxXxxxx.xxx to save money. Surprisingly, the International market has increased in certain countries, specifically, China, Russia and the Middle East. In fact, Luxury Car sales increased 66% in the first quarter of this year, while Mercedes Benz reported sales in China have increased 112% in the same period. XxxxxXxxxx.xxx currently has 3 primary customers: the affluent United States consumer, U.S. auto dealers and non-USA consumers and dealers seeking Luxury and hard-to-find automobiles at lower prices.
The Market. The formal corporate training market has steadily grown as industry and society realize the questionable and outdated education received by most Americans from our school systems. Our companies are being out-produced by foreign competition that can bring new and innovative products to market faster. There are many reasons for this, but the one basic cause is our inability to respond to the training required for the complex and ever-changing technology that drives these new products. In response, corporate training budgets have grown. In 1991, domestic companies with ten thousand or more employees spent $3.2 billion net for training (not including the wages of those being trained). In aggregate, Training magazine has estimated that domestic companies spent $43.2 billion in 1991 for formal training. This number includes $8.7 billion spent on outside vendors for hardware, off-the-shelf and custom training products, and other outside services. (See Figure 4-1.) These outside expenditures are the targeted service market for Oz. Total U.S. Training Market in 1991: $43.2 Billion 5.09% 5.79% 8.33% 6.25% 3.01% SALARIES $30.9B FACILITIES $ 3.6 SEMINARS $ 2.5 HARDWARE $ 2.2 SERVICE $ 2.7 MATERIALS $ 1.3 71.53% Figure 4-1: 1991 U.S. Training Market In addition, the U.S. Department of Defense expenditure for training for the period ending fiscal 1990 was $18.3 billion. Oz will be aiming at this market through established suppliers as an O.E.M. initially and will reevaluate DOD sales distribution at a later date. While specific figures for foreign training expenditures are not currently available, Oz intends to become an exporter of its training products. The VR capability is especially transportable to foreign markets as there is no need to translate "actual" work experiences into a foreign language. Foreign revenues in maturing software application companies compose between 25% to over 50% of their total revenues. Clearly, foreign source revenues offer great potential to Oz. The cost of training per employee varies in terms of the source and quality of training, but the value of training is rarely questioned. For example, a recent survey in Training magazine showed that a third of domestic corporate management felt training increased in value during the last recession, while only 6% of management felt it decreased. Another survey showed that during the recession in 1991, 40% of human resource executives received increases in their training budgets, while only 16% rece...

The Market. The shipping industry provides a practical and cost effective means of transporting large volumes of cargo over international trade routes. The industry consists of a number of segments which are classified by the type of cargo shipped. One of those segments is the tanker segment which can further be divided into the crude tanker segment and the product tanker segment. While crude tankers carry crude oil and residential fuel oil, product tankers with their coated tanks are designed to transport clean petroleum products such as naphtha, gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel and gasoil. The product tanker segment is also able to carry fuel oil and some chemical cargoes. Each of these shipping segments is cyclical to a certain extent, experiencing fluctuations in freight rates and vessel values. These fluctuations reflect developments in the supply of and demand for vessel capacity or tonnage. The supply of tonnage is measured by the amount of suitable vessel capacity available to carry cargo, which is affected by the size of the existing fleet within a particular shipping segment, the number of newbuildings on order, general service speed (e.g. slow-steaming), the scrapping of older vessels and the number of vessels out of active service (i.e. laid-up, dry-docked or otherwise not available for hire) or subject to port congestion. In addition to prevailing and anticipated freight rates, factors that affect the rate of newbuilding activity, scrapping and laying-up include newbuilding prices, steel prices, yard capacity, vessel operating costs, availability of financing and costs associated with compliance with environmental and other global regulatory requirements. The demand for vessels is in general measured by tonne-miles and is determined by the quantity of cargo to be transported and the distance from origin to destination. The patterns of cargo movements themselves reflect demand and supply imbalances of a specific product or commodity in different regions, or develop as a result of price differences between regions (e.g. naphtha arbitrage trade from the Atlantic basin to Far East Asia). The supply and demand dynamics in the different segments within the shipping industry behave independently and are impacted by different market drivers. Vessels are designed to operate in a specific shipping segment and generally do not compete with vessels operating in another segment, although product tankers can, to a certain extent, compete for cargoes with crude tank...

The Market. The LIPOSONIX treatment is not intended as a replacement for liposuction surgery or a healthy lifestyle, or a way to lose weight, but as a noninvasive, nonsurgical approach to aesthetic waist circumference reduction when diet and exercise are not enough. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), liposuction represented the second highest number of surgical cosmetic procedures in 2010 with over 280,000 procedures. This equates to a combined U.S. market of over $1.6 billion for liposuction and abdominoplasty.2 About the LIPOSONIX System The LIPOSONIX system technology was developed over a period of 10 years by leading scientists and ultrasound experts with more than 200 years of combined experience in the development of therapeutic and diagnostic ultrasound devices. The LIPOSONIX system uses advanced high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology to permanently destroy targeted fat just beneath the skin in the treatment areas of the abdomen and flanks as a noninvasive, nonsurgical approach to aesthetic waist circumference reduction. Clinical studies conducted by Medicis Technologies Corporation showed an average waist circumference reduction of approximately 2.6 cm after a single treatment with the LIPOSONIX system. Office visit time and individual results may vary. Results are typically seen in 8 to 12 weeks. The LIPOSONIX treatment is not a replacement for liposuction surgery or a healthy lifestyle, or a way to lose weight. No special diet or exercise program is required. The LIPOSONIX system has a well-defined safety profile. There is no need for anesthesia. Important Safety Information for the LIPOSONIX System The LIPOSONIX treatment may pose certain risks and may not be suitable for everyone. The LIPOSONIX system is intended for adults over 18 years of age who have at least 1.0 cm of fat thickness beyond the selected treatment focal depth of the system in the area to be treated. The most frequently reported side effects during the LIPOSONIX treatment are: discomfort, pain, cold, prickling, tingling or warmth. The most frequently reported side effects after the LIPOSONIX treatment, when used as recommended, are: pain (discomfort), bruising, redness and swelling, which are generally described (or rated) as mild. You should not have the LIPOSONIX treatment if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant. The LIPOSONIX treatment is available only from a qualified healthcare professional.
