[SOLVED] Choice of industry due—HEALTH CARE

Choice of industry due—HEALTH CARE

Paper instructions:
You will choose an industry of interest to you (preferably one you are involved with or plan to be involved with). You will use the tools we developed in class to

evaluate the future growth and profitability of this industry by investigating factors like costs, pricing power, and price elasticity of demand. Your 1,500–1,800 word

analysis should be APA formatted and clear, with at least 5 sources. Plan to address each of the above elements (in bold), but feel free to add any elements as you see

fit. Graphs are optional and welcome, and they do not add to your word count.

Your research and its usefulness to you will be greatly aided by contact with people in the industry in question. Plan to interview at least one person in the

industry as well as collecting relevant publicly available data.

This analysis is aimed to get you thinking about how this industry fits into the larger economy and how its current and future market structures shape its

prospects. As such, you may not find data that (for instance) allow you to calculate the current price elasticity of demand for the industry’s product. However, you

can estimate it and show how you would glean the necessary information required for the calculation. In short, be as creative and persistent as you can in order to

present a good analysis appropriate to your chosen industry.
