- Better Fitness, Inc. (BFI), manufactures exercise equipment at its plant in Freeport, Long Island. It recently designed two universal weight machines for the home exercise market. Both machines use BFI-patented technology that provides the user with an extremely wide range of motion capability for each type of exercise performed. Until now, such capabilities have been available only on expensive weight machines used primarily by physical therapists. At a recent trade show, demonstrations of the machines resulted in significant dealer interest. In fact, the number of orders that BF received at the trade show far exceeded its manufacturing capabilities for the current production period. As a result, management decided to begin production of the two machines. The two machines, which BFI named the BodyPlus 100 and the BodyPlus 200, require different amounts of resources to produce.

With HBO and Showtime offering their programming directly to consumers and some sports networks (e.g., NFL and MLB) considering the same, we are concerned that we might lose subscribers. We need to know how losing subscribers would affect existing networks and whether it might impact their decision to market directly to consumers. It would assist us if you would identify whether there are any network effects in the decisions of cable customers to “cut the cord” and networks to provide OTT programming. If more networks sell directly to consumers, how will this affect the demand for our cable television services? Also, will it impact the decision made by other networks. Finally, are there any strategic moves that we should be making to counteract this trend?arrow_forwardGenerally, how will the Travel Management Agency will be greatly affected with the evolution of OTAs (Online Travel Agencies)?arrow_forward
