4) As assistant manager for an online flooring retailer, you have been approached by your manager to develop a competition-based pricing policy. Your manager indicates that, since your market is national and pricing of carpets and hardwoods varies by both product and delivery costs, he would like you to develop a pricing strategy based on what online competitors are charging. Your manager believes that your firm could effectively compete on selection and service if only it could establish a pricing policy that would match or beat competitors, thus eliminating their competitive advantage. In other words, he wants you to gather competitive intelligence from your competitors’ websites in order to develop a pricing policy that would, in effect, make your flooring cheaper by 2-3 percent or, at worst, the exact same price (when delivery charges are included) as your competitors. You wonder if this is legal and ethical.

Prepare a response to the manager outlining your position on the potential legal and ethical implications of the strategy.

Question One
The stock index is used for describing the stock market performance, particular portions
and making a comparison with the returns on investments. The stock index is known for helping
the investors to be able to track the overall general performance of a group of stocks within the
given time. The stock market index can be explained as an index used for measuring the change
in the prices of stock of the specific index components.
DJIA is the most famous known barometer of the stock market. It is simply referred to as
‘Dow.’ Dow can be termed to be the weighted price and tracks the basket of thirty of all known
largest and most influential limited companies in the stock exchange market. Charles Dow
originally marked DJIA by taking the price of one single share of every company stock, adding
the numbers up and further divided by the existing number of companies. At the beginning when
it was launched, the index was 40.94. Dow Jones usually have a formula where they can be able
to adjust the things like the stock splits a good example is when a company is doubling its stock
number of shareholders it may have and thus split each price in half. Dow Jones is in all cases
handled by the change of the divisor, which is the number divided into the stock prices and
currently standing at 0.122820114.
