Kinesiology
physiological processes and body anatomy with respect to movement
Marketing strategy of Adidas
Kinesiology (how doe shoes help performance) and benefit target segment
How did Adidas focus on benefitting the target segment?

change in competitive landscape, technology, and degree of competition
Why would it be best to keep things in house? (reasons not to outsource)
avoid contact costs, avoid taxes and regulations, extend market power, supply more assured, and protect proprietary information and brand

B-E point
quantity of output at which company doesn’t lose money or make profit

To the left of the break even point
loss
To the right of break even point
profit
Find contribution per unit
difference between price firm charges and variable costs per unit(AVC)
CPU
Price – AVC
B-E point
Total fixed costs (TFC) / CPU
Price = $100 AVC = $75 TFC = $200,000, what is CPU and BE point
B-E point = $200,000 ÷ $25 = 8,000 units, CPU = $100 - $75 = $25
Lower TFC
no investment in factories
Lower AVC
division and specialization of labor, experience effect, economies of scale
Benefits
TFC and AVC lower-sell fewer units and more profitable

$35 for the design

Elasticity
the degree by which one economic variable changes in response to the change in another economic variable
3 factors that affect price elasticity
number of substitutes, time, and share of budget
