Graphic card manufacturer PerfectVision has been a dominant player in the already mature U.S. market. The company can further increase market share by producing improved graphic cards, but the success will depend on the market reaction; if the reaction is positive, the payoff is estimated to be $45m; if the reaction is negative, the payoff is a loss of $15m. Another alternative to achieve growth is by offering a perfect complementary product: the promising OLED screens. Due to the product's high cost and high margin, market reaction will have a huge impact on profit; a positive reaction can generate a payoff of $92m, while a negative reaction would be devastating, with a loss of $120m. The firm believes that the probability of a positive reaction in each case is around 0.60. Should the company do nothing, produce improved cards, or expand to OLED screens? Unfortunately, the firm's limited workforce and talent prohibit launching both initiatives simultaneously. -Conduct a sensitivity analysis to determine the optimal decisions for different probabilities of a positive reaction. What is your conclusion? -What is the optimal decision and expected value using Bayes' Rule?
