This paper develops concepts for the alignment of two established strategic management tools, Product Life Cycle analysis and SWOT analysis, with the demands of a global, internet speed business environment. Because changes in global business activities are frequent, profound and accelerating, the established strategic planning tools, Product Life Cycle analysis and SWOT analysis, need to be reengineered in order for them to continue to be effective instruments for achieving sustainable competitive advantage. The global strategy planning models proposed here restore the effectiveness of SWOT analysis by adding "Change" as a new dimension: Internal Change (Ch^sub i^) and External Change (Ch^sub e^) which identify and quantify the impacts of major new business developments and form the ba...
This Note explores various theories of patent misuse as they relate to patent pools. Taking into account varying ideological underpinnings of misuse, this Note proposes a framework for rule of reason analysis of anticompetitive foreclosure of alternative technologies. The framework offers a phased analysis, borrowed from antitrust law, to focus the inquiry on the harms patent misuse seeks to deter in patent-pool licensing practices. The goal of the proposed framework is to increase operational clarity to modern, innovative firms and provide guidance to courts when applying rule of reason analysis to determine whether anticompetitive foreclosure could result from a challenged use of a patent pool.
Life-cycle mismatch occurs when the life cycle of a product does not coincide with the life cycles of the parts used in that product. This is particularly a problem with products that contain electronic components that sometimes have life spans of only two years. The cost of mitigating component obsolescence, which may require redesigning the product, is often considerable. Thus, prudent product design necessitates the selection of electronic components and product architecture, considering the cost of mitigating an obsolete design and other costs related to the design and manufacture of a product. Accordingly, we develop and analyze a model that shows how a product design can be effectively tailored to a particular product's life cycle.

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment, including battery chargers and external power supplies (EPSs). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to determine whether more stringent, amended standards for these products are technologically feasible, economically justified, and would save a significant amount of energy. In this notice, DOE proposes amended energy conservation standards for Class A EPSs and new energy conservation standards for non-Class A EPSs and battery chargers. The notice also announces a public meeting to receive comment on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results.

Benchmarking allows companies to systematically adopt processes and practices that set the standard for various corporate functions. Benchmarking, however, will only succeed if it has strong support from senior management as well as clearly defined objectives. Benchmarking is most useful in quality control and environmental protection initiatives since it allows companies to set up realistic performance targets that have already been attained by others.
