Case study #1 – Bitcoin and the future of traditional monetary systems
Context

Bitcoin is a virtual monetary system that works without a central bank, is based on digital tokens without intrinsic value, and relies on a system of trust of users recording transactions on a publicly-available ledger. Major retailers are now accepting Bitcoin in exchange for physical goods purchased online, and its legitimacy as a currency has been recognised by authorities worldwide.

Questions
Evaluate the opportunities and/or threats Bitcoin presents to traditional monetary systems.

How might the regulation of the Bitcoin market have to change, if the use of Bitcoin becomes more widespread?

Questions
Evaluate how China Southern established its competitive advantage in the industry in the Asia-Pacific region.

How has China Southern’s growth impacted other airlines in the region? How might national airlines such as Qantas or Singapore Airlines re-focus to remain competitive?
