Abstract:
Background. Both everyday training regime and participation in competitions itself are for athletes sources of multiple emotionally-difficult circumstances. A competitor who would like to succeed should know how to cope with such problems. For some competitors, stress itself can be a motivating stimulus, although, in practice, it depends on multiple factors. The aim of the study was presentation and description of the approaches used by Wroclaw judo competitors in order to minimize pre-start stress accumulation. Material and methods. 54 judo trainees from Wroclaw clubs participated in the experiment. Diagnostic opinion poll was used, based on questionnaires and surveys. The anonymous survey included questions concerning the presence of pre-start stress, approaches to stress minimization, the type of stress and the circumstances under which stress reaches its maximal levels. Results. In order to minimize the level of pre-start stress, the participants talk mainly with their friends, listen to music, watch TV, play computer games or exercise. Only a small part of competitors use relaxation techniques prior to competitions. Conclusions. It is necessary to introduce more diverse specialist strategies and stress coping techniques to judo training. Permanent coach education in this domain is essential since, based on the study results, their role in regulation of the competitor’s emotional states is essential.

Abstract:
PurposeThe three-factor theory of customer satisfaction suggests that product attributes may have an asymmetric effect on customer satisfaction. Although this relationship has been demonstrated in many different settings, the main drawback of previous research is the lack of information about competitors. This study aims to propose asymmetric impact competitor analysis (AICA) for addressing this shortcoming.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed method is conducted by using both impact asymmetry index and relative performance value of each product attribute. While the former is derived by penalty-reward contrast analysis, the latter is obtained by the comparison of the focal company’s performance with competitor’s performance.FindingsThe paper shows the application of AICA by using data belonging to two competing hotels. Results offered different strategies for each hotel attribute.Originality/valueAICA considers both asymmetric effects of attributes on customer satisfaction and competitor information related to same attributes. The proposed method also suggests the strategies for each attribute depending on the quadrant it is located.

Abstract:
Two competitors observe a Poisson stream of offers. The offers are independent and identically distributed random variables from some continuous distribution. Each of the competitors wishes to accept one offer in the interval [0, T] and each aims to select an offer larger than that of his competitor. Offers are observed sequentially and decisions to accept or reject must be made when the offers arrive. Optimal strategies and winning probabilities are obtained for the competitors under a priorized decision scheme. The time of first offer acceptance is also analyzed. In all cases the asymptotic results are obtained.

Abstract:
Mountain marathons are 2-d, self-supported adventure races, during which competitors must carry all nutritional requirements to sustain athletic effort. This requires a compromise between the energy required to perform and the weight penalty of carrying it. We have undertaken a nutritional survey of event competitors in the UK using a questionnaire-based approach and have monitored dehydration during the event. We found that competitors in longer-distance classes (> 50 km) carry significantly less mass of food, which is more energy dense, but that the calorific value is lower than that of competitors in shorter classes. Carbohydrate and protein consumption both positively associated with performance. Competitors became progressively dehydrated throughout the event. Counterintuitively, the better-performing subjects became the most dehydrated. Competitors at all distances should make more effort to rehydrate during breaks in the event. Competitors at shorter distances could choose more energy-dense foods to reduce weight penalty.

Manzoni, B. "Competing through architectural competitions : paradoxes and strategies." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2015. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1460766/.

Full text
Abstract:
Architectural competitions are a fascinating, yet controversial, subject. Building from cross-disciplinary studies on competitions, creative professional service management literature and paradox theory, this research explores the paradoxes of competitions from the viewpoint of the architects’ strategizing for them. Paradox is used as a research focus and as a theoretical lens. A paradoxical inquiry links conflicting insights from four case studies of Italian and British architectural firms. This work is relevant for architecture as well as management scholars. On the one hand, it develops a theory of competitions’ paradoxes whose roots are legal, procedural, sectoral and organisational and it offers an understanding of competitions that can train architects to reduce mixed feelings and system contradictions and to compete more effectively. On the other hand, it offers an application of paradox theory to creative professional service industries and it advances paradox theory with regard to the interplay between acceptance, resolution, synthesis and separation. More specifically this research shows that paradox is a distinctive way to make sense of competitions’ contradictions. With regard to the competition process, several paradoxes are identified, namely those related to: strategic intent (acquiring the job vs. exploring in design terms and diversifying the business), staffing (availability vs. competence; diversity vs. cohesiveness), scheduling work (planning vs. allowing for flexibility), design strategy (following vs. challenging the brief), design proposal (depth vs. breadth of design contents), design submission (simplicity vs. complexity) and facilitating design work (directing vs. empowering the team). For each paradox, this research classifies underlying tensions; it proposes management approaches, categorised into synthesis and separation, and it highlights the relationships between paradoxes and a) contextual legal and procedural factors (writing of the brief, selection and shortlist, proposal design, jury assessment) framing the tensions and b) organisational ones (goals and strategic planning, marketing and sales, project, people and knowledge management) inculcating actions.

Program: MIMA student – International business and Entrepreneurship

Course name: Master Thesis (EFO705)Title: Imitation as Organization’s StrategyAuthors: Voravej AssavapisitkulSataporn Bukkavesa

Supervisor: Sven-Åke NyströmProblem: Does imitation really benefit organization?

Purpose: The authors are writing this topic because the authors feel that this topic is not widely been investigated, moreover, it is a very interesting topic for the authors. According to the course literatures that the authors have read, the authors perceived that most of them focused on innovation and seems like they ignored or mentioned little on the topic of imitation and how can imitation benefits organization. Therefore, the authors are personally interested in the topic. The authors hope that the readers would gain more knowledge on the topic and would be able to apply with their business or study.

Method: Interpretivist; Documentary; Interview

Summary: In this Master Thesis, the authors have discussed several dimensions of imitation with examples. First, the authors discussed about imitation during the early stage of industrialization with the examples in Korea. This topic discussed of the opportunity provided through imitation process for the new firms to be able to catch up and compete with experienced firms. The next topic is on unique capability. Firms can apply imitation as their own capability that can prevent others’ imitation, moreover, they can become successful in the new market. Then the authors found that there are ways to imitate other firms’ knowledge legally in the form of strategic alliances. In the topic of creation of strategic alliances, the authors suggested four patterns of engagement that firms can select according to their objectives. Under the topic of firms experience, there are some empirical data supported that the degree of imitation has negative relationship with firms’ experience curve. Moreover, the authors discussed about the how competitors’ actions affect the firms to select different strategy of organization management in the topic of the choice of alliances and mergers and acquisitions by competitor’s move. Then the authors discussed about how successful were the imitations by reverse-engineering implemented by Korea’s electronics industry. Furthermore, the authors also provide examples of imitations in other industries. The next topic is limitation and prevention on imitation. Then the authors provided the reasons why do firms imitate. Moreover, the authors discussed about the factors that affect the speed of imitation process and show how the speed of imitation related to benefits and losses of the firms. Next, the authors suggested some successful strategies for product imitation. Then the authors discussed about the drawbacks of imitation with some examples. Finally, the authors provided the results and analysis of the interviews as primary data collection to show the success of firms that implemented imitations, people’s attitudes toward imitation, and the degree that originality and product origin can limit imitation.

Abstract:
This paper explores consumer consideration and design response in the wake of a product scandal, namely the Volkswagen “clean diesel” scandal. It offers the novel contribution of designing for consideration, rather than final choice, with a linked market consideration and engineering model. The paper demonstrates how consideration modeling can be used to identify design strategy that capture lost consideration. A simulation study investigates three response design strategies: a design refresh by competitors; repricing by VW; and a new design by VW. The model used to investigate these scenarios includes data from a nation-wide survey conducted by Autolist that collected self-reported ratings of both VW and diesel consideration before and after the scandal. It also includes an engineering model that translates engineering variables (such as engine bore) into vehicle design attributes (such as fuel economy and rollover score). The case study finds that a design refresh by a competitor or a new vehicle design by VW can capture more consideration sets than a VW repricing strategy alone, suggesting the importance of coordinating both design and economic strategies. The approach demonstrates the usefulness of design-for-consideration as a strategic before/after scenario analysis tool in the wake of an event that triggers shifts consumers’ considerations.

Abstract:
Engineering optimization methods for new product development model consumer demand as a function of product attributes and price in order to identify designs that maximize expected profit. However, prior approaches have ignored the ability of competitors to react to a new product entrant; thus these methods can overestimate expected profit and select suboptimal designs that perform poorly in a competitive market. We propose an efficient approach to new product design accounting for competitor pricing reactions by imposing Nash and Stackelberg conditions as constraints, and we test the method on three product design case studies from the marketing and engineering design literature. We find that a Stackelberg leader strategy generates higher profit than a Nash strategy. Both strategies are superior to ignoring competitor reactions: In our case studies, ignoring price competition results in overestimation of profits by 12%–79%, and accounting for price competition increases realized profits by up to 3.4%. The efficiency, convergence stability, and ease of implementation of the proposed approach enables practical implementation for new product design problems in competitive markets.

Abstract:
Abstract How can we satisfy every customer whim at prices that are no higher than those of competitors who offer only a few products? The following strategies have worked in many circumstances: 1. Analyze the structure of the demand. We need to be able to make what customers do order, not everything they might. 2. Standardize components. Custom products do not always have to be made from scratch. Instead, they can be made from a small number of standard components. 3. Make a catalog with a discrete set of sizes. All shoes used to be custom-made, but today, shoes made in size increments meet the needs of almost all consumers. 4. Postpone customization to the end of the process. Customization happens best at or near the end of the manufacturing process. 5. Identify a common process. Then we can treat custom products like options on standard products. 6. Maintain a database of past designs. It can be an enormous time saver in meeting requirements that appear to be new. 7. Design your custom manufacturing process. While still as a job-shop, the custom workshop must be organized for effectiveness and efficiency. 8. Set up a simple production control system. Cap the number of jobs in process, sequence WIP FIFO, do all priority shuffling prior to job release, and track progress with Ybry charts.

Abstract:
Medical device developers frequently invest enormous amounts of money and inventor hours to develop and commercialize new devices and treatments. Once commercialized, however, these devices and treatments often can be duplicated by competitors for a fraction of the initial investments. A strong patent portfolio protects these investments by deterring the manufacture, sale, and importation of unauthorized duplications. In addition, a strong patent portfolio can capture venture capital interest and increase a company’s market value. Medical device developers should employ prudent defensive and offensive patent strategies during the early stages of product development. Such strategies not only provide for an effective defense against unauthorized product duplication but also increase the value of their products. This presentation will provide insights into building a strong patent portfolio that can withstand the attacks of competitors. In particular, this presentation will discuss various effective strategies that include: • Timely Invention Capture and Patent Filings — + Discover the activities that can cause an unintentional loss of patent rights and how to avoid them. + Learn the necessary recording and documentation of inventive activity needed to prevail in litigation. + Hear how patents can help you control a competitor’s ability to improve their products by obtaining blocking patents. • Creating a Valuable Application Disclosure — + Use your technical expertise to help your patent attorney fully disclose your invention and all conceivable variations and modifications. + Know why the Patent Office requires disclosing the “best” way of practicing your invention, and how failing to do so can affect your patent rights. • Obtaining Commercially Significant Claims — + Consider what it will take to prove infringement of your claims. + Ensure your claims target as many infringers as possible through the use of various claim types and scope. + Be certain your claims account for future improvements or “design-arounds” to your product. + Ensure your patent attorney is aware of the competition and has drafted claims that cover their devices and foreseeable enhancements. • Inventorship and Ownership — + Understand improper inventorship and how it can destroy patent rights. + Find out who is an “inventor” and how to determine inventorship. + Ensure your company owns the rights to a patent. • Avoiding Patent Procurement Pitfalls — + Learn about the Patent Office’s “Duty of Disclosure” and who must comply. + Ensure your compliance with the “Duty of Disclosure.” + Understand how inventor and corporate failure to comply with the “Duty of Disclosure” can destroy patent rights. In summary, building a strong patent portfolio in concert with a company’s business objectives is imperative in today’s technologically complex and rapidly changing economy. Many successful companies understand that a strong patent portfolio, which protects core technologies and contains offensive and defensive patents, can provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace. By employing the strategies in this presentation, a company can build a strong patent portfolio that reflects present and future business goals and enhances the value of the company.

Abstract:
Robust optimization procedures for power plants production planning are the keypoint to profitably compete in the electricity deregulated market. The authors recently presented a market model useful to optimize the management of a group of thermal power plants belonging to a competitive producer. This model determines the Nash equilibrium among a set of competitors. In this paper, this model is extended to manage groups of thermal and hydro power plants together. Hydro plants part-load operation and technical constraints (feasible working range, feasible water storage range, water storage variation in time as a function of natural and artificial inflows, etc.) are thoroughly included in the market model. The model is applied to a large-scale power system for different market conditions and typical days of the year. Various combinations of power plants and number of producers are investigated. In particular, their effect on power plants management, market equilibrium and prices are discussed.

Abstract:
Local manufacturing small and medium enterprises (SME) have faced continuous challenges in competing with manufacturing firms of scale on the global market. Factors such as the presence of a traditional organisational structure and inefficient utilisation of resources have contributed to the challenges faced by local SMEs in keeping up with regional and international competitors within the manufacturing sector. To investigate the aforementioned challenges, a case study was conducted on a local bottle manufacturing SME which sought to improve their system performance across their Plastic Injection Melding (PIM) operation. Using strategies in the form of lean manufacturing as well as ARENA® simulation software, the challenges identified within their operation were observed and mitigated using key performance indicators. Lean strategies such as Heijunka, Kanban and Six Sigma were utilised as possible methods of reducing waste within the existing simulation model. When comparing the key performance indicators from the simulation, findings highlighted improvements in the Work in Process (WIP) and Waiting Time (WT) by 84.78% and 98.03% for the entire operation. A cost-benefit analysis was carried out to identify the most financially feasible strategy in purchasing the resources that were required for the strategy’s integration into the actual system.
