    STREAMING WARS: COMPETITIVE DYNAMICS IN THE ONLINE VIDEO STREAMING INDUSTRY Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics Master’s thesis 2020 Authors: Korhonen Aleksi & Rajala Janne International Business & Entrepreneurship Supervisor: Lamberg Juha-Antti ABSTRACT Authors Korhonen, Aleksi & Rajala, Janne Title of thesis Streaming Wars: Competitive Dynamics in the Online Video Streaming Industry Discipline Type of work International Business & Entrepreneurship Master’s thesis Time (month/year) Number of pages 06/2020 118+3 Abstract Digitalization and advances in technologies have changed the world in the past few dec- ades. This has affected consumer behaviour and developed new, more dynamic, indus- tries as well. As a result, competition is fiercer than ever, and competitive advantages are only temporary. This thesis builds on the literature of strategic management and compet- itive dynamics by exploring the competitive interaction of companies in the Subscription Video-on-Demand industry. We seek answers to how competitive advantages are pur- sued within the industry and how the strategic decisions of the companies differ from more traditional industries. To answer this, the press releases of several publicly listed U.S. based SVoD companies were collected and analysed through qualitative content analysis. After that, the connec- tions between the competitive actions were linked through event structure analysis to un- derstand how rivalry affects the companies within the industry. The results show that in contrast to traditional industries, competition in the growing SVoD industry revolves around content, which is enforced through resource building, co- creation, and to some extent, market expansion. The nature of competition is a defensive race to outperform others in the long run as big established companies are also entering the market.

    Remarks by Sergio Marchionne Introducing Lee Iacocca at Walter P

    Contact: Shawn Morgan Remarks by Sergio Marchionne Introducing Lee Iacocca at Walter P. Chrysler Legacy Gala Sergio Marchionne Chief Executive Officer, Chrysler Group LLC "Introduction of Lee Iacocca" Walter P. Chrysler Museum Legacy Gala Auburn Hills, Mich. July 24, 2010 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It is truly a privilege for me to introduce tonight's final recipient of the Walter P. Chrysler Legacy Award. Today happens to be the anniversary of the founding of Detroit in 1701. It is entirely appropriate that we honor Lee Iacocca tonight, as there is such a deep bond that ties together Detroit, Chrysler and this man who is one of the great leaders in the history of our company and our city. I feel a special kinship with Lee Iacocca, and it is not just because we share an Italian heritage. A few months after I became CEO of Chrysler in June 2009, Lee was kind enough to welcome me into his home and to express his support for our efforts to revive the company. This gave me a chance to know a little bit of the man - not just the iconic businessman and the author of best-selling books. Lee Iacocca's Chrysler took help once in the form of government-paid loan guarantees, and paid the loans back years early. I told him that the day we pay the government back, I'll take him to Washington so he can hand over a check for the second time. While the world has changed a great deal in the last three decades, certain principles are timeless.

The Importance of Unions in Contemporary Times* ANNE STATHAM University of Southern Indiana PAUL GREIDER Florida Southwestern State College ABSTRACT This article examines the importance of unions in contemporary times. Our research focuses on United Auto Workers Local 72, a union representing workers at a factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during several plant closings. Using qualitative data collected over a span of more than 20 years, we examine the role of the local union in helping the workers respond to the plant closing in ways that would produce the most beneficial results for them. We trace stories of the workers’ and union’s resistance, cooperation, and pride in their work. The workers’ continued commitment to quality and their strong work ethic seemed to be key factors in persuading the company to keep some work on the site and, later, to add more.
