Qantas CEO Alan Joyce, in response to recent media claims the airline is looking to establish a premium-focused subsidiary in Singapore, would not confirm or deny the reports, but said that the airline's pursuit of one option would not be a ''silver bullet'' for improving the international business ( Sydney Morning Herald, 17-May-2011). The CEO said the plan will consist of "multiple projects" including some within Asia ( The Australian Financial Review, 17-Mar-2011). Mr Joyce said the plans being considered by his international taskforce led by Lesley Grant would become as important to the group's strategy as the launch of Jetstar was. Mr Joyce said a lot of the market share the airline has ceded in recent years has been "particularly into the Asian market, which is a high-growth market." "We can't have our head in the sand," he said. "Our international business is loss making.

Indeed, Japan claims that its decision to curb exports of these strategic materials to South Korea stems from national security concerns over the latter's lack of oversight. Currently, South Korea's Samsung and SK Hynix together dominate the world's DRAMS market with 72.8 per cent of the global market share and the NAND flash market at 46.8 per cent ( 2019 Q1 estimates ). Because Samsung is one of the main suppliers of memory chips to Huawei, the Japanese export curbs may lead to a slowing down of China's AI progress by altering Samsung's production line. To boost NAND flash market shares, Japan's Toshiba Memory is constructing a joint investment manufacturing facility in Kitakami, Iwate Prefecture to collaborating with US chipmaker Western Digital for a joint venture and R&D activities on 3D NAND production. | forward | eastasiaforum.org | https://eastasiaforum.org/2019/09/24/semiconductor-tech-war-underlies-the-japan-south-korea-trade-dispute" |
In a far from shock announcement, BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins announced that the company is now undergoing a "comprehensive" strategic review to decide whether a sale, licensing agreement or joint venture may be the best route forward to turnaround the company's mounting woes. The news followed a series of dismal financial results, delays on software, a unsuccessful entry into the tablet market and slumps in its market share and brand value – all in the past year. BlackBerry is now to go back to its roots and focus on making products for enterprise customers, rather than trying to compete in a consumer market dominated by slick touchscreens and sexy brands like Apple, Samsung and HTC – although it stills says it will focus on its "core strengths" in the consumer segements, but doesn't clarify what these might be. | forward | www.marketingweek.com | https://www.marketingweek.com/2012/03/30/blackberrys-back-to-business-plan-may-see-it-out-of-business-altogether |
Robert C. Stempel A New Team Spirit At General Motors The selection of Robert C. Stempel as chairman of the General Motors Corporation speaks volumes about the new priorities of the world's largest auto maker. Since the 1950's, G.M.'s management had been dominated by financial executives whose bottom-line orientation took precedence over quality, market share and other concerns. The latest exemplar of that philosophy was Roger B. Smith, an accountant whose tenure as chairman ended in August. The 57-year-old Mr. Stempel has a background as an engineer and a sympathy for the importance of vehicle design and manufacture. His ascension could not come at a more opportune moment for G.M., whose vehicles usually fail to match the best Japanese cars in quality and customer surveys. With car sales down in 1990 and another weak year predicted, G.M. will have to work hard to regain some of the huge market share it lost in the 80's. | not-forward | www.nytimes.com | https://www.nytimes.com/1990/12/31/business/the-year-in-business-1990-american-industry-faces-the-challenge-of-tougher-times-109290.html |
"The UK's Competition and Markets Authority seems to have found both its voice and its teeth," said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell. He said Rentokil is likely to dispute this initial verdict, but boosting market share "is a way of sustaining profitability, at least some of which will be achieved through pricing". Mould went on: "Rentokil can't hang about if it wants to salvage the deal given it faces a more in-depth probe if it can't address the concerns within a couple of weeks." Looking across the market, he said the CMA's more interventionist trend, "suggests companies may have to consider their acquisition strategies carefully in the future to save wasting valuable management time and money on deals which are likely to attract the CMA's ire". | forward | www.sharecast.com | https://www.sharecast.com/news/news-and-announcements/rentokils-mitie-deal-will-lead-to-higher-prices-watchdog-warns--3840606.html |

Chinese infant formula maker, Yashili International Group Ltd., announced it has completed a deal to buy Danone SA's infant formula unit, Dumex China, for US$159 million, according to Reuters. Danone has been involved in negotiations with Yashili regarding the deal since July, after the unit had been seriously damaged by what turned out to be an unsupported food safety scandal, and then later again, after sustaining a Chinese fine of RMB171.9 million (US$26.85 million) for price fixing. In 2012, Dumex ranked second in China's crowded infant formula market with sales totaling RMB5.7 billion (US$890 million). However, within just one year, sales for the unit fell to RMB 1.3 billion (US$203 million) as a result of the damaged sustained to its reputation. The unit also saw its net profits of RMB765 million (US$119.5 million) plummet to a loss of RMB771 million (US$120.4 million), while its market share fell to just 2.9% this year, according to reports by Food Navigator-Asia. | not-forward | globalaginvesting.com | https://globalaginvesting.com/danone-sells-its-dumex-infant-formula-business-to-yashili-for-159m |

Infosys ' fourth-quarter numbers are far below expectations. The stock tanked more than 21%, dragging benchmark indices down with it. It added a mere $28 million in revenue for the quarter, almost all from Lodestone, the Swiss consultancy firm it bought in 2012 for $350 million. About its numbers, brokerage JP Morgan had only this to say, "Disappointing on all counts." Infosys had predicted dollar revenues to grow by 5%; they grew a miserable 1.4% quarter-on-quarter. What is more worrying, most of the growth in revenue came from rising onshore volumes, a result of the Lodestone acquisition. Offshore volume growth was negligible. Analysts had expected Infosys' margins to contract: JP Morgan by one percentage point. Actually, margins are down 2.1%. Most of the contraction, it can be assumed, has come from deep price cuts forced by competition. By the company's own reckoning, the future looks bleak. | not-forward | economictimes.indiatimes.com | http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/opinion/editorial/why-infosys-must-mend-its-ways/articleshow/19521895.cms |

Apart from the retail sector, a prime example of bad timing is aviation. Kingfisher Airlines started off on a good note snatching market-share from Jet Airways, by upping its service standards remarkably. At the launch, Mallya grandly announced that he expected the airline to be profitable in the first year of operations itself, given its "strategic approach to control costs, deployment of technology and outsourcing". He also promised to make Kingfisher the largest private airline in terms of capacity and market share by 2010. But an ill-timed acquisition of Air Deccan, which coincided with the slowdown, saw it getting into a debt trap that now threatens the entire group. For FY11, Kingfisher Airlines' losses were a steep ₹1,027 crore on a turnover of ₹6,450 crore. It's total debt of ₹6,500 crore overwhelms its marketcap of ₹1,409 crore and the loss for FY12 itself is well over ₹1,300 crore. | not-forward | www.outlookbusiness.com | https://www.outlookbusiness.com/the-big-story/lead-story/jack-of-all-trades-1807 |

Jack Fusco, chief executive officer at Cheniere Energy Inc, however, told analysts last week that while the tariffs add some costs to Chinese customers, they are not expected to have a material impact on the company "either today or going forward." Fusco said trade tensions were not having an impact on the company's plan in coming months to make a final investment decision to build a sixth liquefaction train at its Sabine Pass LNG export plant in Louisiana, one of two it operates in the United States.

On September 11, the FTC announced that it was requiring US Foods (a food distributor) to divest three distribution centers in order for it to proceed with its acquisition of Services Group of America.

The FTC said that "Services Group of America, Inc., through its foodservice division, Food Services of America, or FSA, belongs to a consortium of regional distributors known as Distribution Market Advantage, or DMA. DMA competes with US Foods to serve multi-regional and national accounts.. ..

2. High market concentration. In terms of mobile games revenue by company in China, Tencent and NetEase combined accounted for nearly 70% of the domestic mobile game market revenue, while none of the other remaining firms have more than 5% market share.

Not as much as you may think. An associate of mine has reviewed multiple wholesale and retail Nuedexta price quotes and has estimated that revenues to Avanir per patient (after an assumed 8% royalty is paid to CNS) would be approximately $4,000/year. That means it would take just 88,000 patients, or less than 6% of the total assumed 1.5M moderate-to-severe US PBA population by the end of 2015. This is an extremely rough and rudimentary calculation, but it is only meant to show how little market penetration is necessary to support one analyst's conservative price target. | forward | seekingalpha.com | http://seekingalpha.com/article/249677-could-avanir-pharmaceuticals-become-a-2011-takeover-target |

The legal action alleges violations of the California Unfair Competition Law, the California False Advertising Law, the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of contract, among other charges. FYI: Federal courts can hear class actions that concern breaches of state laws. "Apple deceived millions of consumers into purchasing new phones they did not need based on features that do not exist, in violation of multiple false advertising and consumer protection laws," the complaint states, arguing Apple has now acknowledged that celebrated Apple Intelligence features, including enhancements to Siri, "did not exist then and do not exist now." Examples of claims for future Siri features can be found in the super-corp's press releases.

By Utkarsh Shetti and Mike Stone (Reuters) - Lockheed Martin will cut 1% of its jobs over the course of the year in a bid to cut costs and streamline operations, a company spokesperson said on Friday. The reductions will impact positions across all of its business and enterprise operations, the spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters, adding that the cost-cutting actions will include hiring freezes and voluntary separations. The Maryland-based defense contractor employs 122,000 people worldwide, according to its website. The cost reductions will aid the company in transforming its operations digitally. "We're driving cost reduction in our direct cost base through supply chain optimization, factory productivity and also on 1LMX-driven efficiencies," Lockheed Martin CFO Jay Malave said in the company's post-earnings conference call on Tuesday. 1LMX is Lockheed's name for its transformation program. | forward | finance.yahoo.com | https://finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-lockheed-martin-cut-1-224004651.html |

HSBC's ambitions to become "the world's local bank" appears to be over. The bank is selling its Brazilian subsidiary in a landmark move that leaves Citigroup and Spain's Santander as the only two foreign banks with a retail banking subsidiary in Brazil. The asset sale will strengthen HSBC's balance sheet at a time when the bank is dealing with heavier capital requirements. In response to those increased regulatory costs, HSBC has been trying to become simpler and could perhaps look to shed more assets.

The deal was funded partly with proceeds from the sale of Denbury assets in what is known as the Bakken Shale to Exxon Mobil Corp.
