Full textThis study concerns retail brands in the food retail industry and focuses on premium products. The research is investigating how ICA can best use premium products to increase their profitability. The study is thus based on their brand ICA Selection and investigates three sub purposes concerning the customers’ perception of the products, their purchase behavior and their willingness to pay a price premium.
To investigate, theory concerning brand resources was utilized, involving both brand equity and brand management. To measure brand equity, the authors adapted a customer mind set and utilized Aaker’s framework and the specific industry developments made by Anselmsson, Johansson and Persson. Accordingly, this theory is based on five brand equity attributes: perceived quality, brand associations, loyalty, awareness and uniqueness. These attributes were thereafter developed to explain food premium products. The brand management theory used was Kapferer’s brand management strategies, in order to assess ICA’s strategic advantages and disadvantages.
The research was quantitative and the authors utilized a visit self completion questionnaire, in order to describe and investigate the purpose. The questionnaire was handed out according to a systematic sampling method, to customers at the 4 different concept ICA stores in Umeå.
Based on the findings, the authors concluded that in order to increase the profitability of ICAs food premium products, the following strategies should be considered. First, the customer awareness of ICA Selection must be increased and the customers must be educated about the benefits of the product. Moreover, the premium brand should aim to provide value for money, high intrinsic product quality (i.e. taste, ingredients etc) and an improved store image. These factors will help defend the price premium. Furthermore, to attract buyers, the brand has to have a high enough brand status and a sufficiently attractive and functional packaging. This research has therefore concluded how to efficiently allocate the resources and obtain an increased customer satisfaction. This may in turn increase the profitability of ICA Selection. However, it is of course important to also take into account the external environment, such as the recession and competition, when deciding on the brand strategy.

Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean, has long sought to develop a high-tech economy and has struggled in the process. Two initiatives, Puerto Rico TechnoEconomic Corridor (PRTEC) and the Eastern Central Technological Initiative (INTECO) seek to encourage local firm formation, attract foreign capital, and improve infrastructure to develop a high-tech economy and an innovation culture in the island. The efforts of the initiatives focus on cooperation from the private sector, the government, and academia. Henry Etzkowitz's triple helix model of university-industry-government relations explains the synergies and organizational infrastructure needed to ensure a sustainable economic growth based on technology and innovation. This thesis focuses on the two initiatives in Puerto Rico whose goal is to promote a high-tech economy in the island. The analysis focuses on the initiatives' relationship with the triple helix's three sectors and how they have been working together to achieve their goals. While the initiatives have made significant progress in firm formation through incubators and community outreach programs to educate about technology, organizational barriers such as lack of transparency in the local grant seeking process and the lack of an entrepreneurial culture have not allowed the initiatives to solidify themselves as the generators of the new knowledge-based economy in Puerto Rico.

Full textProfessionals currently working in consulting firms and job-applicants aiming to work in this industry are very often finding themselves in a situation where they experience a skill-gap regarding the skills consulting firms have claimed as the must-have ones. Confusion about which are those skills has increased since from academics to professionals, from researchers to higher education institutions and from students and graduates to job-searchers, they all have a different understanding of which ones are those skills. In fact even from one consulting firm to the next one the skills differ. Moreover current and available literature is yet to explore deeper the project teams working for consulting firms in order to grasp a real understanding and easy identification of these skills, since studies so far have provided mixed set of skills for traditional project teams rather than for consulting project-teams leading to mixed discoveries and inconclusive results. The findings in this study provide support for a controversial discussion occurring when trying to identify the skills consultants affirm their employer require and how these companies acquire, foster and retain these skills.
Paradela, Dominguez Aguilar Astridh. "Minimizing Transaction Costs in Project-Based Organizations: A case study on suppliers’ engagements in delivery projects in the Swedish Construction Industry." Thesis, Umeå University, Umeå School of Business, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-31712.
Full textIn this changing world, companies have had to learn how to formulate and implement their strategies through projects and organizational structures in order to successfully face threats and opportunities. However, the management of multiple projects is not easy and due to this complexity, a new type of organization has emerged, called Multiproject organization. Depending to its characteristics, this new organization can be classified in project oriented (POO) or project based (PBO) (Arvidsson, 2009).
Before to execute a project, the organization needs to evaluate its resources and decide if should buy the project through contractors or make it with its own resources (Müller and Turner, 2005). A Project Based Organization (PBO) which manages multiple projects at the same time through contractors requires to keep a good monitoring and controlling project performance, and to create the best project governance structure.
About these subjects, there have been journals and books published since an academic perspective; but, not all of them have described these topics in a real organization. The aim of this research is to learn how these concepts are applied in a real project based organization, as well as the problems that can be faced and how they have solved them.
The purpose of this thesis is to show how a PBO deals with the governance of its contracts, considering how the PBO estimates the cost of the project, how it deals controlling the contractors and their projects, as well as how it minimizes the transaction‟s (i.e. the project‟s) economic and administrative costs. Based in the purpose of the study, the research question is: “How do project minimize transactions costs in supplier engagements in delivery projects in the Swedish construction industry? the construction of a railway in the north of Sweden and due to it has 130 major contracts, can be considered as a multi-project organization. The Unit of Analysis used is the transaction cost in supplier involvement in project. A single case study was chosen to present and analyze the information from the organization. It was analyzed qualitative data collected through semi-structured interviews which were applied inside and outside the company, in order to make a triangulation of the data collected.
The findings explained that the railway company analyzed, achieved to minimize its based organizations (PBOs)” In order to answer, it was selected an organization created for transaction costs on supplier‟s investments during the delivery project phase due to right selection of types of contracts, as well as those process and systems implemented in all the project offices. These process and systems helped it to detect on time potential problems as well as take decisions and covered: the selection of suppliers through the bidding process, the negotiation of contracts, the monitoring, controlling and reporting performance, the closure of the project and the last payments for contractors. The PBO tried to keep a good communication with contractors and at the same time, it developed a team work feeling in which both parts supported each other. It could be observed that : the it is possible to achieve successfully the organization‟s objectives and minimize the transactions costs during the execution through essential factors as a careful and detailed planning, team work with all the areas involved, communication and hardworking.

Full textThe purpose of this dissertation is to investigate customer behaviour in the banking industry of students at Kristianstad University. We wanted to test the theory of Customer based brand equity in the banking industry but also to challenge this theory with other independent theories which we have identified as important concerning customer behaviour the banking industry.
The banking industry is an interesting business since it affects nearly everyone. Banks are known to focus much of their marketing on customer retention which makes this specific industry extra interesting for an investigation about customer behaviour.
Kevin Keller‟s theories on Customer based brand equity was the catalyst that created our interest in this subject. The combination of this theory and the specific nature of the banking industry helped us form our problem. The chosen segment to investigate was students at Kristianstad University. Mainly because of the specific time limit this segment was the most suitable for this dissertation.
The result indicates that the factors from the CBBE-model were not significantly connected to students‟ customer behaviour in the banking industry. However, it can be argued that some factors are still relevant when explaining customer behaviour in the banking industry. One of the challenging theories, Intergenerational Influence, proved to have a significant connection to customer behaviour. It can be argued that Intergenerational Influence is the most important factor when explaining students‟ customer behaviour in the banking industry. The results of this dissertation can be useful for banks in order to make their marketing strategy more efficient.

Full textBackground: Firms are today competing for educated and qualified people within the IT-industry, due to the high business activity. Firms require new employees to have both a formal education and relevant work expe-riences. Newspaper articles state that IT-companies have difficulties finding qualified employees and that they also see this shortage of competencies as the most prominent hinder to economic growth. To handle this shortage are an increased amount of companies starting structured training activities for their new employees, which by general terms is called trainee programs. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to do an explorative study of compa-nies in the Swedish IT-industry, to see if and why a trainee program could be a source of competitive advantage. Method: A qualitative approach has been applied when collecting data. Four small case studies were made by interviewing top managers and col-lecting company related information. The companies had diverse sizes and different experiences from trainee programs. The data was analyzed with the Resource-based view as a guiding theory applying the VRIN framework. Conclusion: By doing the studies three value adding aspects was found. They were staffing/recruitment, marketing and, organizational learning and development. Within the resource-based views boundaries were: recruitment and staffing found to be a source of at best tem-porary competitive advantage, the same conclusion applies for trai-nee program as a marketing tool. Organizational learning and de-velopment could be seen as a source of competitive advantage due to the complex impact a trainee program has to an organization. To summarize the above mentioned; trainee program could be a source of sustainable competitive advantage. Three obstacles for implementing trainee programs were found; feeling of being to small, short-term thinking and the lack of time.

Full textSmall businesses constitute the economic engine which affects nations’ development. That is why they continuously need support to further encourage the development of countries. 99 % of all the construction companies are today small businesses and due to the industry’s high sensitivity to economic fluctuation, low entry barriers and intense competition there is a high business failure rate. This leads to a demand of strategic research that can be applied on their special characteristics, flexibility and small scaled. Strategic research has throughout the history had a different focus in explaining businesses competitiveness. Today, research is more directed towards an internal perspective whereas the resource-based theory is the most used. As the external environment is constantly changing and customers’ preferences are volatile the external perspective cannot form a secure foundation to use in the understanding of business competitiveness. The purpose of this study is from a resource-based view increase the understanding of how competitiveness in small businesses in the construction industry can be strengthened. This by identifying key resources and study how these are renewed, applied and developed. To answer the purpose of the study, a qualitative study has been used whereas the primary data collection consists of five semi-structured interviews. Two businesses where chosen by a purposive sampling. The criteria’s where that the businesses would be classified as small businesses and be leaders of the market. Based on the study it can be established that it is not sufficient to only analyze the resourcebased theory in order to understand how small businesses in the construction industry strengthen their competitiveness. The research businesses highlighted the importance of their external customer relations. The customer relationships had a direct connection to the businesses competitiveness in terms of contracts and reputation. Only analyzing the internal perspective would have resulted in an inadequate analyze of these resources impact on competitiveness. Thus, the relational view was added to the study after analyze of the gathered data. Through these two perspectives it was noted that small construction businesses competitiveness strengthens through embedded relationships with their customers and employees while at the same time renewing, applying and developing heterogenic resources. Through this, a competitive advantage can be created.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to examine the business model that Born Globals use during their internationalization, and the factors that influence the choice of model. The study has used a qualitative research method and has been implemented as a case study. Furthermore, the study consists of semi-structured interviews. The study concluded that the internationalization of born globals has a freemium business model, and that the resource-based approach, and industry are important factors behind the choice of business model. Less direct impact has globalization and entrepreneur while networks have only a limited impact on the choice of business model for internationalization of born globals.

Full textIssues relating to globalization and the rise of the New Economy have received much attention from academics. Renewed emphasis has been placed on the importance of locality and cities are seen as gateways to ensuring a competitive role in the global economy. In South Africa, local economic development (LED) approaches are increasingly reflecting market-driven entrepreneurialism as cities compete to attract investment. This has, however, caused the decline of economies of already lagging regions, widening regional disparities. Statistical evidence confirms the opinion that the service sector has become a leading contributor to national and regional economic growth, both internationally and in South Africa. Synonymous with the knowledge-based economy is the dependence of this sector on innovation and highly skilled human capital as drivers of competitiveness and development. As a result, the role of universities as producers of knowledge and educated labour has received much attention. The perceived geographic “footloose” nature of knowledge-based industries has also led some to believe in their potential to reduce the disparities between cities and small towns or peripheral locations. Evidence show, however, that knowledge-based service industries still tend to cluster in major metropolitan areas. Though the importance of the knowledge-based service sector has been acknowledged by academics and government, a lack of empirical research still exist on the decision-making processes determining the choice of location of South African companies. Research has indicated the medium-sized town of Stellenbosch in South Africa to have a high level of growth potential. The town is also the location of a well-established IT and knowledge-based service sector. For the purpose of this study, a database was compiled of a research population of 329 knowledge-based service industries operational in Stellenbosch, after which surveys were distributed amongst the entire population. Data generated from 104 completed questionnaires provided a deepened understanding of the nature of these industries of which the majority is single-branch businesses situated in Stellenbosch due to the fact that it was the owners or key role players’ home town during the time of establishment. Other notable trends such as the growth in the number of international head offices in the knowledge-based service sector, the availability of highly skilled labour, and proximity to important clients, further highlights the reasoning behind the decision of knowledge-based companies to locate in Stellenbosch specifically. Finally, the existing linkages between Stellenbosch University and these industries - specifically the IT and engineering sector - receives attention.

Full textBackground and problem: Criticism has been raised towards the traditional management control which pushed forward modern management methods and tools to complement management accounting. The factors that pushed out this modern management control are possible to see in the music industry aswell. This, together with the fact that management control in the music industry has a research gap, makes it interesting to examine how record labels in the swedish music industry are using traditional or modern management control. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to through the examination of two record labels create an understanding of how the management control is characterized through traditional or modern management control. Method: The method used in this study is qualitative. We have through a multiple-case study at two record labels examined and created an understanding of the management control in the companies with the help of semi-structured interviews and complementary questions through mail. Conclusion: It is possible to see that the record labels has partly moved to modern management control but also that you can see a mix between the usage of traditional and modern control methods and tools.

In recent years, B&B industry has been an important part of tourism industry. How do the owners use their resources and capabilities to gain more tourists through selecting and implementing their marketing strategies? In this thesis, we use in-depth interview method and AHP method to sort the importance of marketing capabilities and resources. Then, we compare them with the owners’ scores and make some suggestions. In the end, B&B industry in Penghu focus on customer linking capabilities and reputational assets, and they make efforts on developing these resources and capabilities. Meanwhile, based on the results, we find that their marketing strategy is to maintain existing customer relationship. In the future, they can access their potential customers to receive sustainable growth.

The business activities are composed of tangible, intangible and human resources. When an enterprise confronts with the keen market, it must not only contain its competitive advantages, but also obtain its sustainable advantages with integrating internal resources and characteristics efficiently. So, it is more important thing to recognize, and find out the organization’s resources advantage. The organization efficiently makes use of resources; it could grow up steady and create different value and performance. A country possesses comprehensive infrastructure and prosperous content culture environment; it could develop a new market about digital economy and knowledge economy. In the growing process of digital content industry, using the resources and investing innovation activities are essential factors for business performance, R&D performance and human performance. We build the research framework based on the resource-based theory in accordance with our related works, and discuss the resources management and its performance about sustained advantage of innovative technology and human resources. The paper adopts the method of case study to investigate current situations about the resource characteristics and performance in this industry. The result of this study shows that the organization performance could be enhanced and improved with plentiful resources. The organization management would have a tendency to grow more stable when there are rare, valuable, inimitable, and unchangeable resources. The R&D investigation plays an important role of the industry development. We can increase the R&D performance by collecting these resources, and make the innovation and the expecting achievement close to the organization goal. Besides, human resource is one of the resource makes the organization works successfully. The digital content industry is a knowledge-based industry in particular. Human resource plays an important role in firm. The employees’ professional knowledge or ability would affect the human performance and the firm performance.

In recent years, the research of brand management have already become a new unrest in the educational circles of the enterprise management.The cultural heritage of relevant brand management grows profusely and quickly. Because of past scholar’s different opinions for concept of the brand theories, and different background and experience, each scholar explains their different talking point , either. Therefore , there isn't a series and integrity process of the brand management so far. This research expects to inference and connect a clear and viable management process by each scholar's theories structure for helping B&B operator creating the biggest value brand. This research tries to guide into brand analysis, Branding, brand Equity management and Brand Extension Strategy etc. which is a series of concept in extant. It emphasize the importance of a series of whole management processes and explain that the B&B which is in the process of developing brand, how to find out itself different fixed position and internal advantage resource by brand analysis. By the process of creating brand in further to start shooting popularity of B&B’s brand and do brand equity management well by use of brand image、worthy consciousness and particularly associate, to produce consumptions of the higher loyalty then become eminent brand. To carry out the brand extension strategy by this eminent brand, go into different class market of consumption and different kind product or industry in order to create the biggest profit of B&B. In order to fully identifying the feasibility of the research structure of the this research, and clear explain the content of the brand strategy planning. This research carry out countryside inquisition particularly in KENTING region of the B&B having more development in recent years, and pick four standard enterprises from different region to write individual case. After knowing the individual research of B&B from Ⅰ Brand Analysis、ⅡBranding、Ⅲ Brand Equity Management 、Ⅳ Brand Extension Strategy, we find two different detections of analysis results. The first ,in the generality of brand management, the B&B operators all know that in order to have good brand management, they would prepare the essence of B&B, including internal and external environment and the quality of service .Having good product , the B&B operators can promote B&B quality、increase product value by the brand management and program the future development direction of brand;In the universality of brand management ,on account of dissimilitude in external environment and internal resource of B&B operators, therefore they have established different position . For the difference of cognition of the brand ,operators select usage of the different skill in the brand equity management .In relatively , it is different between brand image and expectation effect of developing. The second, the B&B operators is mostly a private business. These B&B operators is lack of professional management and they all adopt the operation model of conservative and traditional. The last, these B&B operators will lose competition ability, because of replaced with new model by foreigner and new entrant. By understanding of the individual case, we know the project of the brand strategy which in addition to clear mark the step of B&B whole process, also help the B&B operators program meticulously and process the flow of brand management, it also can produce clear understanding between the whole brand personality and every product’s synthesis effect, it develop the strength of brand finally. After sortation of brand strategy planning by my research, the B&B operators will clear understand their fixed position and the efficient brand extension of related association then bring the B&B operators the infinite benefit

This thesis examines the interactions between China''s universities and technology -based industry from the late-1970''s through 2000. It focuses on the motivation and effectiveness of such interactions as co-sponsoring research activities, co-investing in companies and science-parks, co-managing investment fund or incubators, partnering in state-enterprises reform and local economies upgrade, among others. The thesis uses historic and literature review and case study methods. Four focused, in-depth case studies were conducted for the Shanghai Jiao-Tung University in Shanghai, Nan-king University in Nan-king, University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, and Xidian University (Xi''an Electronic and Technology University) in Xi''an. Wu''s “Nine Strategies” and Maslow''s theory on Needs'' Hierarchy were employed by the researcher to propose a theoretical model of “stabilized five-dimensional pyramid” as an initial model for growth analyses framework as part of the explanation to such interactions. This model is based on the “stabilizer” role of the universities in the inter-play of government, industries, incubators, capital market, and the universities as observed in this research. The thesis summarizes that major motivations for Chinese technology-based industry to initiate interaction with the universities may include (but not limited to) the following: acquisition of high-quality human resources, access to up-dated technologies, cost-effectiveness (as compared to having the industry''s own research team), assistance to the corporate planning of future product and technologies, support to personnel training, bridging technological equipment shortfall, improved product recognition as affiliated with reputable universities, networking and perspectives broadening, input of fresh management mechanism as a factor to reform of corporate culture and upgrade of morale, access to incentives programs such as tax break/rebate and land price discount in the science parks, access to state research grants and financing resources such as venture capitals and open-market capitals to improve its corporate value (the PRC Security Regulatory Commission openly favors academic-affiliated stocks for initial public offering, as most private investors do), among others. Furthermore, the thesis summarizes that why the universities opt to interact with the technology-based industry may be explained by the following reasons: increased income to the universities and their staff, policy guidance and incentives from the central government, additional funding sources for research (outside the public sector''s), improved capacity to universities'' laboratories, substantiated understanding and knowledge of the real-world situations for both professors and students, request from the government for technology research to be co-developed with the industry, industrialization/commercialization of research outcomes, invitation from the industry, support and request from the local government, and further realization of societal value of the universities, among others. The thesis concludes the following: - Technology-focused universities in PRC have been more sophisticated than the science-focused or other universities in industrial cooperation; - Reputable universities enjoy more advantage through interacting with the industry, making them stronger and resource-richer over time as compared to other schools; - Education Ministry-led universities in PRC perform more industrial cooperation than their counterparts managed by other ministries or local governments; - While application-oriented research at the universities have better access to corporate funding than the fundamental research, the former actually contribute resources and opportunities to the latter’s development at the same schools (through resources re-allocation by university managers); - Initial motivations of improved income has transformed into drive for self-accomplishment of the universities’ staff in cooperating with the industry; their level of involvement has also transformed from initial, simple provision of technology to co-investment in enterprises and promotion of entrepreneurship; - Both universities and industries have grown to pay more attention and offer increased resources to their join collaboration activities; - Initial technological exchange and support to the industry has upgraded into corporate image enhancement; - Corporate sponsorship in fundamental research has increased over the years and has become important source in addition to the government; - Performance in industrial cooperation has become one of the criteria of academic evaluation of professors in major universities; - Corporate funding has gradually undertaken government grants as the major source of research funding, making it possible for the universities to sustain their research activities with increased industrial R & D budget; - Points of interactions such as joint research centers, science parks, co-invested companies, and incubators have gradually moved from on-campus locations to off-campus, and even further to locations in other provinces, and this mainly from Eastern or coastal universities; - Eastern and coastal universities enjoy much more sophisticated and intensive interactions with the industry than their counterparts in the western and inland regions; - Local governments in the Eastern and coastal regions also offers much more incentives and supports to academic- industrial interactions than their counterparts in the western and inland regions;

'n Belangrike aspek is of die instansie in staat is om 'n bepaalde diens te lewer wat betref voorraad, fasiliteite en personeel. 'n Vraag wat gevra moet word, is of hierdie diens teen betaling gelewer, of as 'n gratis diens aangebied moet word. 'n Belangrike aspek is die bemarking van dienste wat vroeer nie as deel van 'n ondememing sander winsoogmerke gesien is nie, maar deesdae deel van die bestuursproses uitmaak. Daar behoort ook 'n goeie verstandhouding en 'n vennootskap tussen die inligtingsdiens en die gebruiker in die gemeenskap te bestaan en samewerking tussen die partye behoort op hierdie wyse bewerkstellig te word. Om 'n pro-aktiewe inligtingsdiens aan te hied, is dit belangrik dat kennis geneem word van die inligtingsbehoeftes van die bestuurder in die handel en nywerheid.
Certain factors should be taken into consideration when an information service wishes to provide information to the community. An important matter is whether the institution is able to provide certain services as far as the collection, facilities and personnel are concerned. A question that should also be asked, is whether this should be a fee-based service, or a free service. Another important matter is the marketing of services, which in earlier times did not form part of a non-profit organization, but is nowadays regarded as part of normal management practice. There should also exist a good understanding and a partnership between the information service and the user in the community, and in this way co operation between both parties should be established. In order to provide a pro-active information service, it is important to have knowledge of the information needs of the manager in industry and commerce.

The global MICE industry is growsing at an unprecedented pace in the tourism industry. However, the MICE industry itself is not profitable. Tremendous economic growth lies in the peripheral industries such as translation and interpretation, travel-related services, and accommodation and catering services etc. Translators and interpreters are indispensable to the success of meetings and exhibitions. Nonetheless, little attention has been given by scholars of translation and interpretation related studies to the multi-faceted issues faced by the MICE industry in Taiwan. In view of this lack of research on the MICE industry, this study aims to fill the void in the literature by focusing on firm-level issues. By using resource-based view and social exchange theory, this study attempts to answer the two basic questions of what high-performing companies have and have done in order to have sustained competitive advantages and superior performance in the MICE industry. Moreover, this study will provide insight into existing and potential industry players as well as freelance translators and interpreters who are interested in this industry. The research methods adopted include case study and content analysis approaches. Twenty-one stakeholders, internal and external to the two study cases, participated in the study. The research results show that an organisational culture centering on the perception of quality leads the study cases to pursue better quality human resource practices. In order to bring out the best in employees, they have comprehensive and robust human resource, operations, project, and quality control management programmes, which later on become rooted and embedded in the companies. The two firms studied in this research convert key resources into a core competence, and hence sustained competitive advantages, by developing beneficial social exchanges with employees, suppliers, and customers, who will bring about more new customers. Ultimately, profits will result, and the two firms will outperform other competitors. Due to the close examination of the interaction among the studied cases and their suppliers (freelance interpreters/translators) and customers, the finding of the study extends Lawler’s (2001) generalised exchange by incorporating other types of exchange into it. Further studies on the macro market structure and micro customer relationships of the MICE Industry in Taiwan are suggested.
