Coming Soon: A Theater Near You
內容大綱
Designed to illustrate the complexity of buyer-seller arrangements in an established industry. When movie studios negotiate with theater operators to show new films, the costs to the studios of making the films are largely sunk. Similarly, the costs to the theaters of showing films are also sunk. Thus, both parties to the exchange have high bargaining power and are vulnerable to hold-up. Allows students to identify the implications for industry structure. In particular, the case highlights the recent trend toward multiplexes and small screen sizes.
