    Shopping is an activity most people have done at some point in their lives and enjoyed. It is something done at leisure and can be done positively or negatively. A person can walk out of a store satisfied and content with their purchase or dissatisfied and unsure of their purchase. This partly depends on how assertive the person is when shopping and what they are shopping for. For instance, in my latest shopping experience, where I went into the Apple store to glance at new products, and left the store with a very expensive, new iPhone 5s for three reasons: being attracted to the phones display, assertiveness of the staff, and popularity of the item in my society.…

    Complementary asset sharing and knowledge transfers were among several reasons motivating the alliance. Ericsson was heavily criticized in the past for poor manufacturing capabilities (Manuel 2002) as Ericsson previously outsourced its production procedures to Flextronics in order to reduce costs (Electronic Times, 2001). Alongside that, Ericsson was associated with poor designs in terms of aesthetics and was unable to attract a large pool of consumers especially teenagers and young adults. Furthermore, due to the ever changing industrial environment of the mobile-phone industry, Ericsson was forced behind due to its inability to keep up-to-date with the market and as a consequent, slowly loosing its already minimal market share (Manuel 2002).…
