                  Launching 3G Mobile Services in Finland: War or Peace?

                  By  Javier Gimeno,  Santeri Kiverlä
                  Add to cart
                  The mobile industry in Finland in 2005 was facing a price war, which hurt not only the profitability of operators but also their incentives to adopt new technologies (3G). In 2005, the Finnish mobile telecom regulator decided to allow handset bundling and subscription plans for 3G services. This was an opportunity for incumbents to reshape the competitive context in the industry.

                      Access Services: Pricing for a Fitness Center

                      A fitness center targets customers with different valuations of its service (depending on the distance they need to travel). Customers also have different utilization rates. Depending on available capacity, more or less heavy users should be attracted. The only available variable is pricing.

                              ADP-GSI: The Integration Challenge (Expanded Version)

                              ADP signs its largest acquisition deal in history, to purchase GSI in August 1995. If the divergence of cultures in both companies isn’t enough -- ADP management being used to tight controls and double-digit growth and GSI management groomed to run their own show in spite of recent poor financial results -- there are tremendous differences in operations across functional areas to resolve.
