This book deals with behavioral responses of management of firms that make several decisions with respect to production, marketing, finance, organization of activities within divisions, and interrelations between divisions (including synergies between them and constraints placed on each other in the attainment of overall goals of the firm). The market conditions, that constitute the basis of such decisions, may be stable, random but predictable, or uncertain. It can be expected that objectives attained by the firm, as a result of decisions of management, may be different from the maximum which can be achieved. A generic conceptualization of such managerial discretion and operationally useful methods of measurement have been presented. It is possible to develop machine learning algorithms on this basis to minimize managerial discretion and assist managers in arriving at strategic decisions thereby leaving more resources to deal with uncertain events as they arise. The volume is a great resource not only for researchers, but also decision makers in corporates.

This book presents several fundamentally new ideas. It shows that the notion of market dominance depends on the choices of firms. The fundamental idea here is to separate strategies that the firm wishes to pursue and those that it can achieve given the rival reactions. The book also highlights that consumers generally find it difficult to obtain appropriate information about the value of products when many similar products are sold on the market. Firms provide signals in the form of non-price strategies. The identification, by the consumer, of the maximum value of the product may nevertheless leave some room for firms to expand their market share beyond this. In addition, given the nature of the market, each firm has some market power with regard to consumers on the market and in its relationship with rival firms. This text presents a number of market power indices at the firm and strategy level combining these two dimensions. The book also considers issues of regulation of apps in cyberspace and discusses practical regulatory policies that have been developed to limit misuse of information in cyberspace.

Every firm in the market for industrial products offers a distinct value to consumers. As such, they derive some market power based on the intrinsic value of their products. However, firms often utilize non-price strategies to reveal value to consumers because both the consumers and firms experience information asymmetry with respect to such value. They may also orient some strategies to increase their market share. In general, non-price strategies contain information about value beyond the market shares they achieve, and the shifts in market demand provide the firm with some transient market power. This book indicates that, given the transaction costs to the consumers, of switching between products, the increase in demand tends to be of a longer-term nature. It will not be eliminated over time, as is often conjectured. Measures of the intrinsic value of products, transient market power, and the changes in non-price strategies of firms that tend to perpetuate it are also defined and estimated in the text.
