Together we stand, divided we fall; come on now, people, let's get on the ball and work together Canned Heat, Let's Work Together Upper Demand Frontiers form in every market outside of commodities. You can prove this by plotting shares for all S&P 500 companies on the horizontal axis against their sales prices on the vertical (best seen in log-log space). For any given day, you'll find an Upper Demand Frontier takes shape. Frontiers limit sales. How do you work around them? Hypernomics enables us to see how interconnected markets work. In (A), the Boeing 787 Business Jet was, for a period, pushed up against its Demand Frontier (the dashed blue line). One of its compatible engines, the GE Genx-1B, found itself in a like condition, hard up against its Demand Frontier (in B, the dashed orange line). What to do? If GE, whose engines make up about a quarter of the B787 cost, finds their Learning Curve (recurring costs, as the solid orange line) below their price limit, they could drop their prices and make more profits. That would enable Boeing to lower their B787 business jet price and do the same. Knowing your partner's place in the market is key to making them and you more profits. #hypernomics #profits #markets #partner
