Zara and Netflix Case Studies

Continue to follow your classmates’ posts for the remainder of the week and post at least two follow-up messages (minimum of 150 words each) to your classmates’ posts prior to 11:55 ET on Sunday. Your follow-up posts can add additional insight to a classmate’s opinions or can challenge their opinions. Use examples from the readings, or from your own research, to support your views, as appropriate. Include a citation at the bottom of your post, giving credit to the sources you consulted in researching this week’s topic. Be sure to read the follow-up posts to your own posts and reply to any questions or requests for clarification. By the way, include the name of the person’s post you are replying to.

Questions:

1. In what ways is the Zara model counterintuitive? In what ways has Zara’s model made the firm a better performer than Gap and other competitors?

2. What do you believe are the most significant long-term threats to Netflix? How is Netflix trying to address these threats? What obstacles does the firm face in dealing with these threats?

3. Spend some time online researching services such as Netflix, BlockBuster, Hulu, and other streaming movie sites. How do these services compare? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these different services?

4. Describe some of the features of the information system that you chose in week one (make sure you have an approved information system before you complete this assignment). For each feature, describe how that feature is used, what data inputs the system receives through that feature, and what information outputs can be accessed through that feature.
