Ben Roethlisberger's Best Moments in Final Game at. Heinz Field

Ben Roethlisberger's Best Moments in Final Game at. Heinz Field

Eighteen periods of feeling, with a couple of Super Bowl triumphs, measurable wonder and Pro Bowl choices generally blended in, were packed into one Monday night in Pittsburgh.   Flooded with recollections, Ben Roethlisberger had the option to leave Heinz Field a champ, stoop out a triumph and take a triumph lap following his Pittsburgh Steelers' 26-14 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football.   Ben Roethlisberger "Um, you know what, it's amusing in light of the fact that, presumably not how you would have preferred it, other than the success," Roethlisberger, keeping down tears, told ESPN's Lisa Salters later the game when asked how his last game at Heinz Field went. "Furthermore that is all that truly matters. That is somewhat been the tale of my profession. It's not in every case pretty, however we track down a way Man, did our guard move forward this evening and the folks, it was simply such a lot of amusing to be over here. These are the best fans in sports and this is the best spot to play."   In front of Monday's down, Roethlisberger let it be realized that everything highlighted this being his last home game at Heinz Field and however Big Ben's presentation was not really a token of his past superbness, the eventual outcome absolutely was.   Not many in NFL history have been more fruitful than Roethlisberger on his homefield.

Panel Discussion on "The role of technology platforms in facilitating entry of start-ups" | 21 December

The Initiative on Choice, Competition and Innovation at the Centre for The Digital Future and the USC Marshall Initiative for Digital Competition are pleased to invite you to a panel discussion on

 

The role of technology platforms in facilitating entry of start-ups

 

On December 21, 11 AM – 12 Noon IST

 

The discussion will feature

Daniel Sokol, Professor of Law USC Gould

Shantanu Dutta, Dave and Jeanne Tapan Chair Professor in Marketing, USC Marshall

Viswanath Pingali, Associate Professor of Economics, IIM Ahmedabad

This discussion will explore how technology platforms are useful to small and medium enterprises in an emerging economy context.  Established research in economics shows that fixed costs are a strong entry deterrence.  One of the important elements of fixed costs is the ability to identify the right markets for the products, especially if they are niche.

 

Niche markets are generally thin and geographically spread out. As an example, for several producers from the emerging economies, where there is a significant diaspora in various countries across the world who demand those products, markets can extend beyond geographical boundaries. However, reaching such markets could be an expensive proposition.  Ability to identify and target these markets would result in a significant reduction in entry costs.

 

Another element of fixed cost is establishing  brand presence, especially when a small enterprise is competing with an existing behemoth(s) in the industry, whose brand is well established in consumers' minds.  For the customer, the problem of lemons is a massive concern, and the brand image of the firm acts as a potential signal of quality.  Social media platforms can potentially help firms establish this brand.

 

Finally, setting up logistics to enable interaction with potential customers (payment gateways, transportation logistics, etc.) is the other important element of fixed costs.  For small and medium enterprises, this could be a substantial outlay. Platforms turn what would essentially have been a fixed cost for the business into a variable cost.

 

The session will include a Q&A where attendees can interact with the panelists.
