1. Identify three concepts/theories from the topic

Concept – Techno Economic Paradigm

2. Provide a working definition for the concepts/theories

Definition;
Techno economic paradigm epitomizes a generally steady bunch of centre advances around
which development and monetary actions happens. The centre innovation has a solid effect
in the monetary society. Being characterized as a centre because of their potential for
speculation and entrance over a wide number of items and industries ( Conceicao and
Heitor, 2004).

HUAWEI’s 5G in itself is a technological paradigm likened to the move from typewriters to

computers.
Because Key technologies allows for economic and technological leadership (Fletcher &
Crawford, 2017) explain how HUAWEI aims China from being a low wage factory to
technological creators by bringing in new technological shift. To date HUAWEI is praised by
politics of its country

5G will not only be involved in broadband devices but will also diffuse into other industry
like the automobile industry or health industry. 5G will encourage innovators and give rise
to whole new industries which will result in a sharing economy; A hybrid market model
referred to peer to peer base sharing of access to information, goods and services.

On the side this new type of techno economic shift represents a threat to certain industries
rendering some goods and services obsolete. 5G will not be a category killer but rather a
Killer application. Consider for instance automated cars being able to calculate in itself your
ETA based on information received from other vehicles and road works compared to what
you have today.

Discuss how marketing is perceived by the:

(a) brand;

HUAWEI tries to reduce concerns about security by allowing foreign reporters and
photographers into their research centres. HUAWEI implanted labs in Britain, Canada
and Germany to conduct security tests on its software and hardware

(b) host government;

Many governments namely the US, Australia and Thailand has banned the usage of
Huawei technologies because they speculate that HUAWEI’s technology is used for
spying purposes and in addition to that accuses HUAWEI to violate market opening
obligation and has stolen know how. All these accusations are up to now unfounded
because no one came forward with facts or evidence.

HUAWEI is praise in China

(c) consumers;

Huawei is the world’s number 2 best seller of Smartphones right behind Samsung
and before Apple.

(d) competitors in the overseas market

HUAWEI is on the rise and competes with NOKIA from Finland and Ericcson from
Sweden and has passed them in 2017. Because of certain countries banning
HUAWEI’s technology this will decrease competition and increase prices for
consumers.

Despite competition the company had signed contracts with top global companies to
test the 5G.
