Full textSociala medier och webben ger oändligt mycket information till en målgrupp. Det är därmed lätt att målgruppen blir mättad och att en kampanj försvinner i mediebruset. Det kan därför vara fördelaktigt att som företag använda event som marknadsföringskanal. Ett event är en aktivitet som samlar målgruppen i tid och rum --‐ ett möte i vilket en upplevelse skapas och ett budskap kommuniceras. Det är en emotionsladdad marknadsföringsmetod som gör att ett företag kan skapa en starkare relation till en målgrupp, vilket i sin tur stärker varumärkesidentiteten. Då en händelsebaserad upplevelse ofta ger starkare känslor än traditionella media, såsom en tryckt kampanj, medför det också att ett event kan skapa starkare negativa känslor hos besökaren. Dessa känslor kan sedan komma att appliceras på varumärket. Det bör därför läggas stor vikt vid kvalitetssäkring och planering av arbetet i samband med ett event, med hänsyn tagen till det varumärke som ska kommuniceras. Genom fyra kvalitativa intervjuer och observation under tolv veckor har en undersökning gjorts på en kommunikationsbyrå. Undersökningen är inriktad på byråns arbete i samband med events, hur de kvalitetssäkrar sin arbetsprocess samt hur de i sitt arbete tar hänsyn till varumärket. Detta i syfte att undersöka hur kvalitetssäkring av arbetet i samband med ett event påverkar målgruppens uppfattning om varumärket. De kvalitativa uppgifterna som genererats från undersökningen har analyserats eller jämförts med teorier om kvalitetssäkring, varumärkeskommunikation och emotionsladdad marknadsföring. Resultatet visar att det finns en rad metoder att använda för att kvalitetssäkra arbetsprocessen i samband med ett event. Övergripande handlar det om att bygga in kvalitet i arbetsprocessen genom rätt bemanning, samarbetspartners, beprövade teorier och tillvägagångssätt. När grunden är byggd bör kvalitetssäkring av alla led och aktörer i ett projekt ske kontinuerligt under projektets gång. Genom kvalitetssäkring kan fokus initialt ligga på syfte och målgrupp, att sätta upp mål och delmål, planera och bemanna projekt utefter detta. Att en byrå initialt får tillgång till information om kund och varumärket som ska kommuniceras, ger bra förutsättningar för ett väl utfört förarbete. Ett väl utfört förarbete och en väl utarbetad strategigrund ger i sin tur bra förutsättningar för fortsatt kvalitetssäkrat produktionsarbete och genomförande med hänsyn till varumärket. Om mål sätts upp initialt kan en värdefull utvärdering göras när eventet är genomfört, vilket kan generera lärdomar inför kommande projekt. Vidare bör arbetet med varumärket och hur det ska kommuniceras ske både genom eventets syfte på en övergripande nivå, men även inarbetat i eventets alla mindre delar med målet att kommunicera varumärket på ett genomgående och önskvärt sätt, till rätt målgrupp. Exakt hur olika typer av kvalitetssäkringsmetoder kan påverka målgruppens uppfattning om varumärket är svårt att svara på utan vidare undersökningar, men att de påverkar är mer säkert. Kvalitetssäkring i form av den initiala kartläggningen av behov och kundens situation, målgrupp och varumärke påverkar starkt det arbete en byrå utför åt kund och hur välanpassat detta blir. Att som byrå jobba för kundens bästa med uppsatta syften och mål ger bättre förutsättningar för att verkligen ge kunden det kunden behöver, nå rätt målgrupp och nå dem med rätt budskap.

Full textThis master project will explore the events industry and characterize it as such, in particular on its conceptual definition, its organizational structure and actors, the relationship between the Tourism Industry and Events and its impacts (social, cultural, environmental, economic and tourism). In the second and most practical part, we analyze the categories and types of events and its specifications, the phases of the events through the creation of an event concept, its planning to its operational management. To finalize and consolidate this work we present a case study of a medium-sized event elapsed in June 2008 in Lisbon, Portugal. This was a car launch of an international known brand for its vendors and dealers worldwide during 16 consecutive days. The focus of this study is the impact of the event in the quiet square called Praça das Flores, known for its urban harmony and its quiet everyday life. Being a public space, this venue was the part of the overall program that presented the greatest challenges, both in planning (communication, licensing and formal aspects), as in its operational level (with daily living with the local community, media and staging of the event). In this context, all the elements and actions involved in such process were collected and analyzed. The overall objective is to develop a screenplay for mid-sized events in public spaces in Lisbon. While the more specific objectives are: the logistics inventory for events of medium size; rank the legal issues implicit in this type of events; set the strategic and operational planning for events of medium size; study the advantages and disadvantages of the use of these venues for local communities and propose a process of communication with them, demonstrating the benefits associated with this type of event.

Despite the passage of 15 years since the Institute of Medicine sought to galvanize the nation with its report To Err is Human, the authors' goal to dramatically improve the quality of healthcare delivery in the United States has yet to be accomplished. While the report and subsequent efforts make frequent reference to the challenges of designing and obtaining system safety, few system tools have been applied in the healthcare industry. Instead, methods such as root cause analysis (RCA) are the current accepted industry standards. The Systems Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) is a model created by Dr. Nancy Leveson that has been successfully applied in a number of industries worldwide to improve system safety. STAMP has the capability to aid the healthcare industry professionals in reaching their goal of improving the quality of patient care. This thesis applies the Causal Accident Systems Theoretic (CAST) accident analysis tool, created by Dr. Leveson based on STAMP, to a hospital accident. The accident reviewed is a realistic, fictionalized accident described by a case study created by the VA to train healthcare personnel in the VA RCA methodology. This thesis provides an example of the application of CAST and provides a comparison of the method to the outcomes of an RCA performed by the VA independently on the same case. The CAST analysis demonstrated that a broader set of causes was identified by the systems approach compared to that of the RCA. This enhanced ability to identify causality led to the identification of additional system improvements. Continued future efforts should be taken to aid in the adoption of a systems approach such as CAST throughout the healthcare industry to ensure the realization of the quality improvements outlined by the IOB in 1999.

This thesis examines whether a special event will have an impact on stock market returns. Shanghai Composite Index, S&P 500, and CAC 40 are used as representation of the Chinese, U.S., and French stock markets. The author makes a hypothesis of the correlation between political influence and equity market returns. The hypothesis is tested in the thesis. The author also examines whether or not stock markets exhibit abnormal return patterns before and after the date when these events occurred. The finding of the research is that if a country is highly influenced by politics and has political information asymmetry, the stock market will exhibit abnormal (usually consistent negative) return patterns in the months prior to political elections. If a country has less political information asymmetry, there will be fewer abnormal return patterns in the stock market. This thesis also discovers that generally, in the three months prior to a war announcement or outburst of a sudden event, U.S. stock market usually exhibit negative monthly returns. While in the three months after these events, monthly index returns are generally positive.

This dissertation examines how managers make cost decisions under significant economic events. The economic events of interests are the economic crisis from 2008 to 2010 and corporate loan financing. The economic crisis caused many firms to experience sales declines and created tremendous pessimism about prospects of sales rebounding in the future. I find that not all firms were affected equally. Sales-down firms exhibit anti-sticky cost behavior during this period; that is, costs are cut back more steeply as sales fall than they increase as sales rise. Such a behavior during the economic crisis is exactly the opposite of the average sticky cost behavior during normal economic periods documented in prior accounting research. This, in turn, implies that net income and cash flows from operations (as percentage of sales) may increase, rather than decrease for sales-down firms during an economic downturn. In the second study, I use a difference-in-difference research design to examine whether and how managers engage in cost management before and after loan financing. I find that managers significantly cut back operating expenses prior to loan financing. However, cost reduction is asymmetric with respect to the direction of sales changes. Compared with firms experiencing sales increases, firms experiencing sales declines reduce costs to a greater extent prior to financing and also exhibit a reversion in the cost level after financing. The reversion in cost level is negatively related to the percentage of financial covenants that are based on earnings. I do not find consistent evidence supporting that managers engage in accrual management, overproduction or asset sales.

Full textThe purpose of this research study is to understand the impact of key life experiences on the authentic transformational leadership development of the researcher. The document outlines the events that signify the leadership development of the researcher, from his earliest years in the fishing village of Mossel Bay, through to the tertiary years in Cape Town, to where he finds himself working for a Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed corporate company. The researcher makes use of autoethnography as a research method. Narratives are used to capture life or to trigger events in a way which enables the researcher to get a better understanding of whom he has become as a leader. The researcher has reviewed positive events, as well as events which had a negative impact on his development as leader, such as the low level of involvement of the father figure during his upbringing. The narratives draw a lot from the experience of being raised predominantly by the mother and how this shaped certain transformational aspects of the researcher’s leadership profile. Furthermore, the narratives also viewed the impact of certain early interactions and experiences in the researcher’s work life which influenced the ethical development of his leadership approach. The researcher concludes with a summary of key themes that emerged during reflection of trigger events and experiences, which he hopes may contribute toward others finding their own leadership profiles.

Full textAbstract Many secondary administrators, coaches, and security personnel have advocated for an intervention method to curtail the swell of referrals, ejections, and violence from the spectator sections in attendance at these events. The spirit of Olympism and sportsmanship is considered a core element of these events. The problem was that many of the events have seen a rise in these incidents. There is a correlation of the infusion of these elements, and the atmosphere at these events. The purpose of this experimental study was to explore whether a spectator covenant of behavior, would help to bind the parties to adherence to upholding these standards in a Central Arizona high school, located in the East Valley of Phoenix. This could help the administrators, coaches, and school personnel as an ancillary benefit, to the obvious decrease of these referrals. The analysis of archival against real-time data were based on the increase or decrease of said incidents, before the covenant was in place and while the covenant was in effect. These records are kept every year, and in each event. The implications of this study are that use of this type of intervention may be successful in similar situations and events. Recommendations for practice are for covenants to become a standard practice at sporting events. Recommendations for future study include conducting subsequent studies in several different areas of the country with varying crowd sizes. A future case study could be designed using parents who volunteer to sign an agreement and stay true to the binding covenant.

Full textOn entend par divulgation d'événements indésirables dans le domaine des soins de santé, la transmission d'information relative à tout événement indésirable affectant un patient. Cette information est communiquée ou aux patients à leur famille par les prestataires de soins de santé. Bien que la loi et les codes de déontologie exigent la divulgation de tout événement indésirable lié à la prestation des soins de santé, seule une fraction de ces événements est divulguée. Cette déficience en matière de divulgation reflète la nature de cette décision moralement difficile. C'est-à-dire, faut-il divulguer un événement indésirable aux patients et, dans l'affirmative, quelle est la façon de procéder? La présente thèse examine les perspectives déontologiques et casuistiques concernant le devoir éthique des professionnels de la santé de divulguer les événements indésirables. Trois études de cas, dont la gravité des résultats cliniques diffère, sont utilisées pour démontrer les différences et les similitudes entre les deux théories. En plus de favoriser la réconciliation de la théorie déontologique et du raisonnement casuistique dans la décision de divulguer les événements indésirables, la conclusion propose des recommandations visant à améliorer les techniques de communications et la formation sur la divulgation, offertes aux prestataires de soins de santé. fr

The current research investigates pricing practices and consumer behavior in long-distance running events. Two studies address (1) current practices in pricing and registration policies for long-distance running events, and (2) factors that influence the decision-making process by which event organizers develop, adopt, and implement particular pricing policies. Study One involves a descriptive census of policies currently in use for a comprehensive list of running events in the United States that include races at the full or half marathon distance. Study Two adopts a multi-case study approach based on semi-structured interviews of running event organizers, supplemented by additional organizational documents, to investigate the pricing and registration policy development process. Collectively, these two studies examine the what, the why, and the how of pricing policy development in long-distance running events. Based on study findings, a conceptual model was developed incorporating major sources of influence (organizational, consumer, environmental, and event) on the pricing policy development process. This research contributes to sport management by providing deeper understanding of how participant sport, specifically long-distance running events, is priced and how pricing decisions influence consumer behaviors. Results additionally provide practical insight for running event organizers seeking to improve or enhance pricing policies and revenue management by understanding both common and atypical practices in use throughout the running event industry. Finally the current research lays a foundation for a stream of future research building on findings from two studies and data generated in the process of addressing the overarching research questions.

Full textEvent Management is a new medium, which has generated much enthusiasm from the events industry, as well as from the South African tourism industry, and is globally accepted as a developmental and marketing strategy from which destinations can benefit (Tassiopoulos, 2005: xiv). Event tourism has demonstrated significant growth and continues to expand as South Africa closes on hosting the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Events are different from permanent tourism attractions as they attract people to a shortlived, organised activity where visitors may participate, watch, view, learn and enjoy (Tassiopoulos, 2005: xiv). Event organisers have a number of goals and objectives that they need to achieve within stressful environments. Events offer unique opportunities to spread the tourism season for a particular destination and to promote destinations or attractions. They can also be used to stimulate demand by attracting extra, new or repeat visitors, while events can also be intended to generate additional revenue for a destination (Light, 1996:183). In order to ensure that events are successful, and to generate income for destinations, event practitioners are constantly under extreme pressure to perform. A combination of knowledge and skills is required to empower event practitioners to contribute to the industry and the community, at large. Therefore, tertiary institutions, such as the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), should encourage active learning, facilitation, research, practical experience and engagement with its surrounding communities. This thesis focuses on a theoretical analysis of the events environment, as well as key factors that make this industry unique and justified as a separate discipline. The industry is hugely diverse and there are challenges, but prospective and current event practitioners who have established qualifications from registered institutions, can contribute to sustainable development and employment creation in South Africa. Carlos (2005: xi) states that for those who seek an exciting career, where their organisation skills and attention to detail along, with their creativity can be fully utilised, this would be their kind of industry; this is an industry that attracts several of the country's most vibrant students. Events Management is an industry, which is justified as a separate industry in South Africa.

Full textEvent management is a very competitive field; therefore, event managers must work hard to distinguish themselves from other event management companies. One way of doing this is by using event management software to provide a holistic service which allows for better efficiency in the workplace. Technology is constantly changing; therefore it is imperative to keep abreast of trends in technology in order to improve one’s business and services. As an event manager, one should also consider what it takes in order to organise a successful event. The internationally accredited Event Management Body of Knowledge (EMBOK) has identified several areas that are crucial for an event manager to constantly control and manage in order to create an exceptional event, and these domain areas encompass a set of guidelines to ensure successful event projects. However, one should determine if the software is able to assist event managers with all the necessary features and functions required to organise a successful event as per the outline from EMBOK. The research aimed to analyse the software in terms of its capabilities and compare it to the EMBOK guidelines. The aim of the study was to further identify whether the software is able to complete all the tasks outlined by EMBOK and if not, what else would be needed to fill the gaps. The research also reviewed what impact the software has on events, that is, how it assists or improves tasks conducted or how it does not assist or becomes problematic in accomplishing the various phases and tasks. Qualitative research was selected as the appropriate method in order to gain an understanding of the events managers’ point of view with regards to the software. The research required detailed descriptions and narratives of the software as well as the experiences and opinions of the user. For this reason it was determined that qualitative research would best suit the needs of the research. In order to get detailed answers a semi-structured in-depth interview guide was used and the answers transcribed in order to analyse and get results. The software was selected based on its international usability and because of its use by South African government departments such as the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRC) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). The Cape Town-based individuals from the software’s client list were contacted and selected to participate in the study. The research was conducted with five representatives with previous experience of the software in the events industry in Cape Town. The interview guides were compiled with Likert-scale questions and open-ended questions. The questions were carefully compiled to link the functionality of the software and the criteria as identified by EMBOK. The answers were recorded and transcribed to analyse and determine the opinions of the representatives on the functionality and comprehensiveness of the software to be used for event management. The interviews established that the move towards technology is preferable as it creates efficiency in the workplace. The software assists in alleviating the workload of event managers; however, the interviews also indicated that the software does not always fulfil the requirements for all the tasks. Several tasks required the use of combinations of software; in some instances, the manager preferred to do the task manually. It was concluded that the software does not provide the level of flexibility required in event management, which is a vital criterion, owing to the field’s changing nature.
