Full textAbstract:
The thesis presents an analysis of the influence of the international tin agreements (ITA) on the world tin industry between 1956 to 1985. The ITAs, the first of which came into effect in 1956, were jointly operated by tin producing and consuming countries. The International Tin Council (ITC) used a buffer stock and export controls to maintain the price of tin within a band. This experiment in stabilizing tin prices ended in October 1985, when the ITC was unable to continue its operations because it ran out of financial resources.
The study first analyzes the market structure of the world tin industry in some detail. Then an econometric model which attempts to capture the behaviour of supply, demand and price of tin over the 30 year period is constructed. Particular attention was paid to the estimation of the tin production functions for major tin producing countries. In many of these countries, the output of the tin depended not only on the price of tin but also on the policies of the ITC as well as the internal political environment of the country. The model is then used to simulate a scenario in which the ITC does not intervene in the tin market. The differences in the price and revenue levels between the actual and simulated scenario are computed. The simulation results show that the tin agreements succeeded in their objective of reducing the variability of price and producers' revenue. In addition, the average level of price and revenues under the ITC regime was higher than under the non-intervention scenario. In evaluating policy options, it was shown that the establishment of a cartel is not viable in the long term for both economic and political reasons. The recommended policy options include improving access to futures markets, providing better transparency of tin market operations, the establishment of government policies which provide better incentives for tin mining and tin using industries in the major tin producing countries and continued efforts in research and development with the aim of lowering costs of production and increasing the uses for tin.Business, Sauder School of

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses both the technological and economic factors which have underpinned the historic development of tin demand and considers those factors which will generate the future consumption patterns of the metal. Following a review of developments in extraction technology is a discussion of the historic patterns of tin trade and production. Subsequent chapters consider tin consumption, both in terms of its regional distribution and trends within end-uses. The nature of tin as an intermediate material in the process of production coupled with the availability of historical data has permitted an 'intensity of use' methodology to be developed to analyse historical tin consumption and to project demand to the year 2000. This analysis is complemented by an econometric model which examines and quantifies the nature of the relationship between certain key variables postulated to determine the demand for tin. Results from the analysis are compared and contrasted with those from other studies, before being finally incorporated into the conclusions of this study.

Full textAbstract:
In 1980, the plastic-box manufacturer “Shun Wo Company Limited.” (順和公司) was established in a flatted factory in the industrial estate of Kwun Tong. Seven years before, from 1973 to 1979, the company began as a home-based cottage industry, known as Tin Shing (天成) in a public housing unit in the Choi Hung Estate. This cottage industry was founded by Mr. Ho Chi Wo, who is the author’s father.
The story behind the family cottage industry is a typical case that illustrates Hong Kong’s early process of industrialization, and it is essential in the understanding of Hong Kong’s industrial heritage. Hong Kong’s cottage industry is not a well-documented topic, and there is limited written literature on it.
Given the benefit of having the first-hand experience of involving in a cottage industry, the author seizes the opportunity to document his family business in order to provide an in-depth case study that can help broaden the present knowledge of how individual families have contributed to Hong Kong’s industrialization effort. The objective is to provide a case that illustrates the tangible and intangible aspects of Hong Kong’s early industrial heritage.
The focus of this dissertation is to investigate the history of the cottage industry Tin Shing during its five years of existence before it transformed into a proper manufacturing company. In particular, the research focuses on the relationship between a cottage industry and the greater society, of how a traditional family-owned cottage industry business responded to Hong Kong’s changing social and economic circumstances in the early 1970s.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
Les trésors de vaisselle précieuse de l’Antiquité tardive dans les îles britanniques présentent un corpus d’étude digne d’intérêt à la fois grâce à leur nombre important, à la variété des objets réunis et aux métaux employés. En effet, de nombreux ensembles de vaisselle précieuse ont été ensevelis entre le 3ème et le 5ème siècle en Bretagne romaine, tandis que d’autres dépôts issus de butins de pillage ont été trouvés en dehors des frontières de l’Empire (Écosse et Irlande actuelles). En outre, alors que les grands services d’argenterie y tiennent une part assez exceptionnelle, cette province se démarque du reste de l’Empire par une grande richesse en dépôts constitués de petits objets variés en métaux précieux (or et argent). Enfin, cette région voit se développer de façon quasiment exclusive, dès le 3ème siècle, l’industrie de l’"étain" (un alliage d’étain et de plomb dans des proportions variables), qui se prête bien à l’imitation des plats d’argenterie, donnant ainsi la possibilité à des familles moins aisées de posséder des services entiers de vaisselle de table.À partir de la constitution d’un catalogue de 229 dépôts et objets isolés, cette étude s’ouvre par une analyse typologique de la vaisselle d’argent et d’étain, comprenant l’observation des formes, des éléments décoratifs et de l’iconographie. S’ensuit l’analyse comparative du contenu de ces ensembles et de leur contexte d’enfouissement, menant à l’élaboration de tableaux typologiques et de cartes de répartition géographique. Des différenciations sont ainsi mises en évidence et permettent de tenter une interprétation de ces dépôts, témoins matériels d’une époque bouleverséeSeveral hoards of precious vessels come from Roman Britain, some of them were found outside imperial boundaries (Scotland and Ireland) and represent loots of pirates. They were deposited during all Roman period, especially during the 3rd to the 5th centuries. Though large silver treasures are very rare there, this region is very rich in hoards of small precious objects of gold and silver (spoons, strainers, toothpicks, jewellery, coins, ingots…). In the meantime pewter industry flourishes from the 3rd century and vessels of this matter are produced in great quantity and diffused through the entire island, imitating silver vessels of the same period. It is often called the "poor man's silver".Through a descriptive catalogue of 229 Roman pewter and silver vessels hoards and single finds from the British Isles, this study starts with a typological and stylistic analysis of precious vessels and their imitations (forms, decoration, and techniques). It continues with a classification of all treasures and hoards that contain silver or pewter vessels, through a comparison of what they contained and where they were buried. Some of them could be of votive origin, inherited from Bronze Age

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is a study of strategy in thin industries, a class of industries whose members include the aircraft industry, jet engines, heavy electrical equipment, and diesel locomotives. These industries have a number of common features which inter-relate to produce a unique configuration. Foremost among the attributes that make up this configuration is the sparsity and magnitude of transactions on which the industry must subsist. The decrease in the number of transactions, and the increase in their size, results in a "thin" industry. The sparsity and size of transactions combine to produce complex, unstable, and highly interconnected environments. These environmental conditions motivate firms to develop external linkages with other organizations. The successful management of external linkages will frequently depend on knowledge and experience obtained in previous relationships. Many of the problems created by external linkages can only be resolved once they are formed. At the same time, the knowledge required to resolve these problems calls for previous experience.The dissertation is divided into two parts. In the first three chapters we explore thin industries as a type and as an environment. In the remaining three chapters we look at the ramifications of interorganizational learning on the management of external linkages. In the concluding chapter we discuss the implications of thin industries to the study and practice of strategic management. Three issues in particular are singled out: the decline of organizational autonomy, the limits of competition, and new directions for theory building. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
Le Maroc et la France, assurément deux destinations par excellence. Ledit secteur dans les deux pays figure parmi ceux générant une importante activité économique et un des plus grands pourvoyeurs d’emplois au Maroc comme en France. L’importante proportion des recettes engendrées par l’industrie touristique dans la balance des paiements des deux pays hissa celle-ci à un rang de haute priorité. Dans cette logique, maintes restructurations du système touristique marocain et son homologue français ont vu le jour depuis quelques années en vue d’augmenter les flux entrants ainsi que les recettes. À l’ère du numérique, l’industrie touristique apparaît comme l’un des secteurs ayant immensément bénéficié de la révolution technologique. En effet, les activités touristiques et les TIC fonctionnent en une parfaite symbiose vu la nature des produits touristiques (biens d’expérience), qui sont manifestement adaptables à l’usage des TIC. De cette combinaison particulière fut enfanté l’E-tourisme. Sans conteste, les TIC et l’internet matérialisent une parfaite combinaison pour la promotion des destinations touristiques compte tenu de leur énorme capacité à atteindre des clients prospects en permettant aux destinations d’augmenter leur visibilité externe. La combinaison fonctionnelle TIC/Internet se révèle une solution incontournable de promotion des destinations, d’autant plus que telle combinaison est présentement inévitable pour se mettre au diapason des exigences techniques et tendances évolutives du marché touristique mondial. Au demeurant, la symbiotique association du couple TIC/internet avec les activités touristiques se révèle un facteur inégalable de promotion des destinations, dès lors que l’apport des TIC dans l’industrie s’avère particulièrement appréciée par la communauté touristique. De surcroît, le recours aux TIC est inéluctable pour une industrie touristique viable et performante ; voire les TIC comme une condition de survie, notamment pour les destinations émergentes (cas de la destination Maroc), et que l’inexistence ou l’obsolescence des TIC pourraient sérieusement hypothéquer la prospérité de cette industrieMorocco and France, certainly two top-class destinations. The tourism sector in both countries is one of the sectors generating the highest economic activity and one of the most significant employers in Morocco and France alike. The large proportion of income from the tourism industry in the balance of payments of the two countries raises this to a high-priority ranking. In this sense, many reorganisations of the Moroccan tourism system and that of its French counterpart have come to light over the past few years with a view to increasing incoming flows and revenues. In the digital age, the tourism industry appears to be one of the sectors to have benefitted considerably from the technological revolution. In fact, tourism activities and ICTs work in perfect harmony with regard to the nature of tourism products (experience products), which are clearly suited to the use of ICTs. From this special combination, e-tourism was born. Undeniably, ICTs and the internet demonstrate the perfect combination for the promotion of tourist destinations, given their enormous capacity to reach potential customers, enabling the destinations to increase their external visibility. The operational ICTs /internet combination has emerged as an essential solution for the promotion of destinations, particularly since such a combination is now inevitable to keep up with technical requirements and developing trends in the worldwide tourism market. Indeed, the symbiotic relationship of ICTs with tourism activities is emerging as an unrivalled factor in the promotion of destinations, and the contribution of ICTs to the industry appears to be particularly appreciated by the tourist community. Furthermore, the use of ICTs is inevitable for a viable and high-performing tourism industry; ICTs can be considered to be a condition for survival, particularly for emerging destinations (as is the case for Morocco) and that the lack of, or obsolescence of ICTs may seriously jeopardise the prosperity of this industry

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design and Management Program, 2007.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 48-49).
A new type of solar cell technology using so-called thin-film solar photovoltaic material has the potential to make a great impact on our lives. Because it uses very little or no silicon at all, thin- film (TF) solar technology promises to reduce the cost of solar modules to a level where solar power could compete effectively with power generated from fossil fuel alternatives, thus accelerating our society's transition to distributed, renewable forms of energy sources. Furthermore, because thin-film solar PV materials can be applied to surfaces as varied as glass, plastic and flexible metal foils, this emerging technology could open up new range of applications that otherwise would not be possible using traditional solar cells. The scope of this thesis is to analyze the technical merits of the different thin-film solar technologies, their market and applications, and the dynamics of a growing, new industry. We will compare the different thin-film solar technologies against each other and against the dominant poly-silicon technology. Next, we will take a look at the make up of the thin-film industry and study the different technology strategies employed by players in this industry. We'll highlight a few manufacturers of each type of technology and present a snapshot of the industry in terms of current production and forecasted manufacturing capacity. We'll conclude with a technology outlook and recommend possible technology strategies for firms contemplating entering this industry.

Full textAbstract:
Belt conveyor systems play an important role in many areas of industrial production. Thereby, the transport of foods demands special requirements and restrictions to avoid contamination and microbial growth. The belts used here are often manufactured as yard goods for technical production reasons. After cutting these belts to length, it is necessary to join the ends together. To guarantee assembly, the belts are among other things equipped with detachable connections. Accordingly, this article deals with the development of new detachable connection for thin unreinforced conveyor belts in the food industry. Besides reduction of critical areas (undercuts, breakthroughs …) which favor the accumulation of bacteria additional focuses are the increase of tensile strength as well as a simple and fast assembly and disassembly of the belt to ensure cleaning and disinfection. Moreover, effective and economic production technologies should be appliedBandförderer spielen in vielen Industriebereichen eine wichtige Rolle. Der Transport von Lebensmitteln stellt dabei aufgrund von Verschmutzung und Mikrobenbildung besondere Anforderungen und Restriktionen an das Fördersystem. Hier verwendete lebensmittelkonforme Bänder werden aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen oft als Meterware produziert, im Anschluss auf Länge geschnitten und die Enden verbunden. Um die Montage zu gewährleisten kommen dazu unter anderem lösbare Bandverbindungen zum Einsatz. Der Beitrag befasst sich entsprechend mit der Entwicklung einer neuen lösbaren Verbindung für dünne, unverstärkte Förderbänder in der Lebensmittelindustrie. Neben der Reduzierung von kritischen Bereichen wie Hinterschnitten und Durchbrüchen liegen weitere Augenmerke auf der Erhöhung der Zugfestigkeit, sowie einer einfachen und schnellen Montage bzw. Demontage der Verbindung zu Reinigungszwecken. Zudem soll eine wirtschaftliche Fertigung gewährleistet werden

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyzes the performance of Indian banks over the period of the last ten years. It uses the CAMEL Framework to determine the performance of public and private banks in India. The paper also conducts an empirical analysis to determine the share price performance of Indian banks relative to the share price performance of banks in Hong Kong, Europe and the US. This paper finds that private banks perform better than public banks overall based on the CAMEL Framework. In addition it also finds that the Indian banks share price performance is dependent on the share price performance of Hong Kong and European banks, and it has a significant positive relationship with the overall Hong Kong stock market, and this relationship strengthens after 2007. On the whole, this paper seeks to offer as comprehensive a perspective as possible upon the conduct, structure and performance of the banking industry of India.

Full textAbstract:
A new approach to the fabrication of polymeric thin films is presented. This approach, chemical vapor copolymerization (CVcP), has all the advantages of chemical vapor polymerization (CVP), including exceptional purity, highly conformal coatings, continuous films even when very thin, low stress, and low environmental impact. The range of film properties available by CVcP is much greater than by CVP.
A specially modified deposition system was constructed to study deposition kinetics. A model was developed which allowed quantification of the order of initiation of paraxylylene (PX), which is the initiation system for all the work reported here. This model suggests a trimer diradical is the smallest stable diradical species formed by PX at room temperature, confirming thermodynamic predictions.
This system also allows the calculation of reactivity ratios of PX with vinylic comonomers. A model is developed in which reactivity ratios can be determined if the following quantities are known: a) thickness vs. position of the final film; b) partial pressures of each reactive species entering the deposition chamber and c) composition vs. position in the final film. This model was tested yielded reasonable values for reactivity ratios.
A polymeric film extremely low in refractive index (1.38-1.39 in the visible region) is presented. This film is formed by copolymerizing poly(parachloroxylylene), or PX-C, with perfluorooctyl methacrylate (PFOMA). The refractive index of the homopolymers, by contrast, are in the 1.60-1.68 range. Film growth rates are very low for this new material.
Finally, a new deposition procedure is introduced in which a comonomer with a low vapor pressure is codeposited with PX. The reactor temperature is above the ceiling temperature of PX deposition, but at a temperature where the comonomer can condense. This makes the deposition environment extremely rich in comonomer, yielding films whose final properties are nearly identical to films composed entirely of the comonomer. The procedure is demonstrated using n-phenyl maleimide (NPMI) as a comonomer; films produced had thermal stabilities nearly matching those of poly(NPMI). This procedure has great promise for broadening the use of polymeric thin films in the microelectronics industry, as well as other fields.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of this thesis is to study how we could obtain a transparent heating system for a Radome. In the context of this thesis, transparent have two different meanings that are tied due to the objective of our research. First, transparent means that the heating system have not to disturb the electromagnetic radiation from the radar. And, secondly, and because of the industrial nature of this thesis, the heating system have not to be seen by an external observer, or, we can also say that it has not to disturb the aspect of the exterior decoration of the Radome.
After previous studies of different possible options, we get focus on Transparent Conductive Oxides (TCO) applications to get a heating system different from these that already exist to warm, defrost, and avoid ice on the surface of Radomes used on some vehicles [1], [2], [3]. Different elements and concepts needed to be considered for the developing of the TCO:
- How to deposit TCO
- Optimal sheet resistance
- Optimal circuit designs
- Effect of radar polarization
- Attenuation of radar electromagnetic waves
- Adhesion of the TCO on the substrate
- Heating and attenuation requirements from vehicle’s companies
- Electrical connection and Power supply
Considering all the points mentioned we will be able to design two different heating systems based on TCO’s that are transparent to the human eye and minimize the attenuation of electromagnetic radiation of the radar.
The TCO depositions are used in two different ways depending on how important the polarization of the radar radiation is for the heating system, this way we can differentiate two heating systems:
First, we see from previous studies made at the company, that a very thin film with a high resistance, more than 3500 Ohms/square, is almost transparent to the radar and it does not require any more process than the deposition. In this case the most important point is that no definite orientation of the film is needed since the film is homogeneous. So, it is not conditioned by the polarization of the radar radiation. In this part of the thesis, we develop thin film coatings of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) and Al doped ZnO (AZO) at the Univeristy of Barcelona and at the University of Zaragoza. The development of this system is explained in chapter 3.
Secondly, we developed a system similar to those we have today commercially that uses copper heating wires, but in our approach, we do it with TCO wires that are not visible for human eye and that are placed on the surface of the Radome. In this way we improve the thermal efficiency of the heating system with respect to copper wires systems since our heating system is almost in direct contact to ice and water, solely a film of few microns of varnish would protect the system from the outside in a real case. In this case the attenuation of radar radiation caused by the heating system is between -0.1 dB and -0.2 dB. when the heating wires are correctly oriented with the radar polarization. In this part of the Thesis, we just use ITO as the TCO material for the wires. The development of this system is explained in chapter 5.El principal propòsit d’aquesta tesis és estudiar com podem aconseguir un sistema d’escalfament transparent per a un Radome. En el context de la tesis, transparent té dos significats diferents però lligats degut als objectius de la recerca. Primer, transparent es refereix a que el sistema d’escalfament no ha de destorbar la radiació electromagnètica del radar. I, segon, i degut a la naturalesa industrial de la tesis, el sistema d’escalfament no ha de se visible per un observador exterior, o, dit d’una altre manera no pot destorbar l’aspecte de la decoració exterior del Radome. Després d’un estudi previ de diferents possible opcions, ens hem centrat en l’ús de Òxids Conductors Transparents (o TCO per les sigles en anglès) per tal d’aconseguir un sistema d’escalfament diferent als que existeixen per escalfar, descongelar i evitar el gel a la superfície dels Radomes utilitzats en alguns vehicles [1],[2],[3]. La manera com hem utilitzat els dipòsits de TCO es poden diferenciar a partir de com d’important és la polarització de la radiació del radar pel sistema d’escalfament, d’aquesta manera podem diferencia dos sistemes d’escalfament: Primer, a partir d’ una capa molt prima amb una resistència per sobre dels 3500 Ohms/quadrat , que és pràcticament invisible pel radar i no requereix cap més procés de dipòsit. En aquest cas el punt més important és que no hi ha cap orientació preferida del sistema ja que la capa és homogènia en tota la superfície. Segon, desenvolupem un sistema amb fils de ITO que no son visibles per l’ull humà col·locats a la superfície del Radome. En aquest cas l’atenuació produïda a la radiació del radar pel sistema d’escalfament estaria entre els -0.1 dB i els -0.2 dB.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the differential effect of each of the ten largest bank failures on shareholders' wealth of non-failed banks over the period from 1973 through 1984. It examines how contagion and information effects of major bank failures have changed over time.
FDIC policy for settling failures has important implications for system stability, and has changed over time. This study's purpose is to provide empirical evidence on the effects of FDIC policy. The FDIC's handling of the Penn Square failure signaled a policy shift and offers a unique opportunity to examine changes in market reactions to large bank failures.
The literature on the capital market effects of major bank failures provides limited evidence on the impact of bank failures and related FDIC policy. Most fail to discriminate between contagion and information effects, and conduct analysis on one (or a few) bank failure(s) in the mid-1970s using traditional event study methodology.
This study considers multivariate regression (MVRM) an appropriate methodology for bank failures which are likely to have simultaneous impact on non-failed banks. MVRM, which accounts for contemporaneous cross-sectional dependence of residuals, has three advantages over standard residual analysis: no "event clustering" problem, multiple hypotheses tests, and computational efficiency. This study uses daily stock-return data for fifty-one non-failed commercial banks. For each bank failure, the non-failed banksare grouped into three portfolios: "information-related," "large," and "small." The impact on each portfolio is tested for an average effect and joint hypotheses on excess return.
This study offers evidence on no contagion effects and lack of information effects before Penn Square, strong information effects since Penn Square, contagion effects in post-Penn Square failures, and capital market discipline on large banks since Penn Square. There has been a change in the nature of the impact of bank failures since Penn Square.

Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The South African wine industry has made huge strides in the global wine market since one-channel marketing through the KWV was abandoned and the South African produced wines entered the traditional and emerging wine markets in Europe, Eastern Europe and the Americas. It did not take the South African wine producers and marketers very long to shift their focus to the international markets where deals made in the international currencies held the promise of great profits for successful wine exporters. With the opening of the markets, the trends and tastes of these buyers also influenced the wine styles and the way the South African producer managed his business. Although wine making in South Africa dates back over three hundred years, the re-entering into international wine markets held a great challenge to producers who were unfamiliar with the forces that dictated what and how things had to be done in the international wine arena. The emergence of the new potential for wine producers in global wine markets caught the attention of successful businessmen who ventured into wine making, as most had already developed a passion for wine. Dr. Christo Wiese bought Lanzerac wine Estate in the early nineties, and a few years later bought one of the historic farms in the Western Cape called Lourensford. He set out to develop this fruit farm into one of the top family-owned Wine Estates in the country, with the aim of creating a world renowned South African family-owned wine brand. With a state-of-the-art gravity fed winery and nearly four hundred hectares of vines planted in less than 8 years, this wine brand is slowly but surely starting to emerge on the international wine front. The task ahead is as difficult as the first ten years, but there are a lot of positives and negatives in the development of this premium wine brand that can be used by other business leaders in their decision-making when they start out on the journey to develop a brand. This report documents the first ten years of the Lourensford wine brand and it serves both as a recording of the history as well as a teaching tool for students in wine marketing as it includes interviews with people and role players that were involved and today are still involved in actively building this wine brand. The development of the Lourensford wine brand was started while the vineyards were still very young, and as such the quality of the wines were not ultra-premium from the outset. It was difficult to market these first vintages to get the cash flow right, while at the same time trying to convince the market that this Estate will eventually be producing ultra-premium wines. The focus in the beginning was production oriented, but it had to change to a more market-oriented business. By learning from the mistakes and evaluating the recommendations of this example, the reader can avoid the pitfalls of building a new brand and apply the lessons learned in his or her own business.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Suid-Afrikaanse wynbedryf het groot vooruitgang op die globale wynmark gemaak sedert daar in 1994 afstand gedoen is van die KWV se eenkanaalbemarkingstelsel en die Suid-Afrikaanse produsente weer toegelaat is om hul wyne op die tradisionele en ontluikende wêreldmarkte in Europa, Oos-Europa en Amerika te verkoop. Dit het nie die Suid-Afrikaanse produsente en bemarkers baie lank geneem om hul fokus te verskuif van die plaaslike na die internasionale wynmarkte waar die potensiaal om handel te dryf in internasionale geldeenhede, die belofte van groot winste ingehou het nie. Met die oopstel van hierdie markte het die voorkeure en smake van die wynkopers ook die wyse waarop die Suid-Afrikaanse produsente wyne gemaak en hul wynbesighede bedryf het, beinvloed. Alhoewel wynmaak in Suid-Afrika meer as driehonderd jaar lank reeds bedryf word, het die hertoetrede tot die internasionale wynmarkte ook baie groot uitdagings aan wynprodusente gestel,want hulle was nie voorheen blootgestel aan die markkragte wat die manier van handel dryf op internasionale markte beheer het nie. Die ontluiking van nuwe potensiaal vir wynprodusente op internasionale markte het ook die aandag getrek van suksesvolle sakeleiers om te begin wyn maak omdat hulle reeds 'n passie vir wyn gekoester het. Dr. Christo Wiese het in die vroeë negentigerjare die Lanzerac-wynlandgoed gekoop, en 'n paar jaar later een van die historiese plase in die Wes-Kaap, naamlik Lourensford. Hy het dit hom ten doel gestel om hierdie vrugteplaas tot 'n top wynlandgoed in familiebesit,te ontwikkel. Met 'n ultra-moderne, gravitasiegedrewe wynkelder en nagenoeg vierhonderd hektaar wingerd aangeplant in minder as agt jaar, is Lourensford stadig maar seker besig om naam te maak op die internasionale wynfront. Die taak wat nog voorlê is net so uitdagend as die afgelope tien jaar, maar daar is reeds heelwat positiewe en negatiewe lesse wat uit die ontwikkeling van hierdie premiewynhandelsmerk geleer kan word en wat ander sakeleiers in hul besluitnemeningsprosesse kan gebnuik op pad na die ontwikkeling van 'n handelsmerk. Hierdie werkstuk dokumenteer die eerste tien jaar van die Lourensford-wynhandelsmerk en dien as die optekening van die geskiedenis sowel as die verskaffing van 'n opvoedkundige hulpmiddel vir studente in wynbemarking omdat dit onderhoude bevat met rolspelers en mense wat aktief betrokke was, en vandag steeds betrokke is, by die uitbouing van die handelsmerk. Die ontwikkeling van die Lourensford-wynhandelsmerk het begin toe die wingerde baie jonk was, en as sulks was die gehalte van die wyn nie van die staanspoor af van hoogstaande gehalte nie. Dit was moeilik om die eerste oesjare se wyne te bemark om die kontantvloei reg te kry, terwyl daar terselfdertyd gepoog is om die mark te oortuig dat die landgoed uiteindelik ultrapremiewyne gaan produseer. Die fokus aan die begin was produksiegedrewe, maar moes mettertyd na 'n meer markgedrewe besigheid verander. Deur te leer uit die foute wat gemaak is, en die aanbevelings te evalueer, kan die leser die slaggate vermy wanneer kritieke besluite rakende die vestiging van 'n handelsmerk in sy of haar eie besigheid geneem moet word.

Full textAbstract:
Cultural and creative industries are often considered as one of the latest knowledge-based economy that prevailed around the world. Globalization makes the concept of cultural and creativity spread all over the world. The rise of the creative class, which has permanently transformed our economy and society, has rapidly transformed the world (Florida, 2002). Florida has suggested the creative classes have become more pronounced in recent decades and people around the world start to live differently, pursuing a new stage of lifestyles (Florida, 2002).
In Hong Kong, cultural and creative industry has only been considered in the Policy Address in 2009, which has become as one of the six new pillars industry in Hong Kong. The transformation of the economic and industrial structure in Hong Kong has injected new value-added elements in economic development. How could Hong Kong react to this change?
Currently, the territory does not even have policies that promoted cultural and creative industry. Cultural and creative industries are not greatly promoted. Different artists joined together and formed different artists organization in order to protect their own value and promote the concept of cultural and arts among citizens.
In this dissertation, the clustering of cultural and creative industry in Hong Kong will be discussed. Different concepts and theories about the shaping of a cultural city will be analysed. Locational factors that lead to the clustering of cultural and creative industry in Hong Kong will be examined.
A local case study – Fo Tan – will be examined by all the theories and concepts regarding to this clustering effect of cultural and creative industry. Fo Tan is one of the most significant industrial areas with most cultural and creative industries in Hong Kong. Different locational factors will be examined and see if they could be fitted into the local context. Moreover, the institutional setting of cultural and creative industry and urban planning system will be analysed and see if there are any deficiencies.
With all the above mentioned, this dissertation hopes to see if government policies could help the development of cultural and creative industries and if different sectors in cultural and creative industries could co-exist in Fo Tan. Looking into the future, we would like to see what the Government or other private sector could do in order to help consolidate the cluster of cultural and creative industry in Fo Tan.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
Nota-se que cada vez mais a sobrevivência e o crescimento das empresas industriais estão relacionadas com a possibilidade de se oferecer produtos e serviços em conformidade com as mais recentes normas internacionais. Em tal contexto, o domínio das funções tecnológicas da Tecnologia Industrial Básica TIB (metrologia, normalização e avaliação da conformidade) não é somente um requisito para a competitividade de uma empresa, mas também a base para a efetiva acumulação de capacidades tecnológicas, as quais são necessárias para a inovação bem como para o melhoramento contínuo da qualidade dos produtos e serviços. Na literatura especializada, raros são os estudos que analisam a função da TIB no processo de aprendizagem tecnológica de uma empresa. Este trabalho teve a intenção de preencher essa lacuna ao propor um modelo para avaliar e projetar as relações dinâmicas entre TIB e capacidade tecnológica. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi o de analisar a relação entre a TIB e a formação e acumulação das capacidades tecnológicas nas empresas. O estudo foi realizado através de um survey, cujo instrumento de pesquisa foi um questionário aplicado em uma amostra de 103 empresas de diferentes níveis de capacidade tecnológica do setor metalmecânico. Concluiu-se que a TIB contribui com a formação e acumulação das capacidades tecnológicas em todos os níveis e os resultados mostraram que existem associações significativas entre: (i) certificações ISO 9001/TS 16949 com as atividades de engenharia reversa; (ii) certificações ISO 17025 e de produtos com as inovações incrementais em sua linha de produtos; (iii) certificação ambiental ISO 14001 com as inovações radicais em processos/produtos, práticas de just-in-time, Kaizen, TQC/TQM e uso de sistemas integrados de informação; e (iv) sistemas inovadores de medição com as práticas de P&D e relacionamentos com instituições de C&T.Increasingly, the survival of industrial firms is related to the possibility of offering products and services in conformity with the most recent international standards. However, the mastery of Infrastructural Technologies IfT (metrology, standardization and conformity assessment) is not only a requirement for the international competitiveness of a firm but it is also the basis for the effective accumulation of Technological Capabilities (TC) which are needed for innovation as well as the continuous improvement of the quality of products and services. In the existing literature, rare are the studies that analyze the role of IfT in the technological learning process of a firm. This work intended to fill that gap by proposing a model to assess and project the dynamic interplay between IfT and TC. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between IfT and the effective accumulation of TC in the firms. The study was carried out through a survey, whose instrument of research was a questionnaire applied in a sample of 103 firms of different levels of TC in metal-mechanics industry. It can be concluded that the IfT contributes with the effective accumulation of TC in all levels and the results showed that there are significant associations between: (i) accreditations ISO 9001/TS 16949 with the reversal engineering activities; (ii) accreditations ISO 17025 and of certified products in their production lines with incremental innovations in their products; (iii) ambiental accreditation by ISO 14001 with radical innovations in products/processes, activities of JIT, Kaizen, TQC/TQM and the use of information integrated systems; and (iv) innovatory systems of measurement with P&D practices and relationships with C&T institutions.

Full textAbstract:
Over recent years there has been increased awareness within the construction industry of the need to improve the construction process and quality achieved on site. With the number of skilled masons falling rapidly, alternatives to masonry construction are once again receiving attention and the prefabrication of brick elements provides a way of achieving the high quality and standards required along with improved working conditions. A review of recent applications of prefabricated brickwork was carried out looking at favoured construction methods, advantages & disadvantages and its design capabilities. Additional factors needing consideration when using a prefabricated approach were also examined. The review highlighted many areas in need of change within the traditional client/designer/contractor relationship, so other industries successfully using prefabricated components were studied along with companies currently using prefabricated brickwork both in Europe and the UK. Case studies of prefabricated brickwork projects provided an insight into how increased involvement of the suppliers at the design stages of a product can promote efficiency and the creation of innovate techniques and solutions, highlighting, amongst other things, the need for improved communication levels. Thin joint brickwork built with glue mortar has been developed in Europe with increased tensile strength properties that would make it ideal for prefabrication. Tests were performed at Kingston University on the thin joint glued brickwork built using standard U.K. bricks and compared to conventional brickwork data. The thin joint brickwork was tested for flexural, bond and shear strength and in addition, seven wall panels were produced and loaded laterally in order to determine the load and deflection capacity. Overall, the 28-day flexural strength of the thin joint brickwork proved to be stronger in flexure than conventional brickwork. Bond and shear strengths were found to at least match those of conventional masonry and the load capacity of the panels was high with the deflection remaining small. The panels (approx. 1950mm x 2400mm) were also able to withstand lifting and transportation without the need for additional reinforcement.

Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en Gestión y Dirección de EmpresasEl objetivo de la presente tesis es proponer una estandarización del análisis de riesgo de sobre costo para los proyectos de la Vicepresidencia de Proyectos de BHP en Chile, a través del diseño de un bow tie tipo, que sirva como base de análisis permitiendo así optimizar el proceso actual. El bow tie es la actual herramienta de análisis y gestión de riesgos en BHP, donde se identifican causas e impactos asociados a un riesgo, lo que permite una correcta definición de controles preventivos y mitigadores. La realización de esta tesis se justifica por los desafíos que actualmente enfrenta la minería, la necesidad de contar con la capacidad productiva suficiente para cumplir con la demanda de cobre del mundo y un precio que obliga a ser eficientes con el uso de capital. Es aquí donde la predictibilidad de costos es uno de los desafíos en la industria de proyectos, por lo que la gestión de riesgos resulta una herramienta importante para enfrentar dichos desafíos. La metodología utilizada para el desarrollo de la presente tesis comprende un levantamiento de información a partir de los análisis de riesgo y lecciones aprendidas de tres proyectos ejecutados por BHP entre los años 2012 y 2017, sumado al análisis realizado por un panel de expertos que permite caracterizar el riesgo de sobrecosto, en específico, las potenciales causas que podrían generarlo y aquellos controles que permiten prevenir su ocurrencia y/o mitigar sus potenciales impactos. Como resultado se obtienen un bow tie estandarizado para el análisis del riesgo de sobre costo. El análisis realizado tiene como resultado catorce causas, doce controles preventivos y siete controles mitigadores, cada uno de ellos es descrito para la comprensión de los futuros usuarios. Los resultados de esta tesis permiten entregar una herramienta estandarizada que identifica tempranamente las principales causas y propone una batería de controles a ser aplicados en todos los proyectos de la Vicepresidencia. La implementación de esta herramienta no considera costos adicionales dentro del área y sus potenciales beneficios se consideran importantes. Se pone a disposición el resultado de esta tesis recomendando su uso como base para futuros análisis que permita tener una base de control estándar dentro de la compañía.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2001.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study evaluates the use of information technology as a method to reduce production risk for irrigated potatoes. Risk in agriculture is discussed under climatic, market or price and production related risk. Production related risk covers the disciplines of planting, irrigation, fertilisation, disease and pest control as well as harvesting. It is in the above mentioned disciplines that information technology could possible be applied to reduce production risk in irrigated potatoes. The nature of this study can therefor be described as the investigation of the economic justification of information technology as a method to reduce production risk in irrigated potatoes. A brief introduction to put potato production in world and South African context into perspective, is provided. In South African context the importance and position of potato production relative to other crops is discussed. To better understand the economic conditions, under which potatoes are produced in South Africa, a financial breakdown of production cost for irrigated potatoes over regions is given. It is important to understand the economics of potato production before a proper assessment of thepossible benefits of information technology can be made. Various principles and instruments involved with information technology, as it applies to potato production under irrigation are also discussed. Irrigation scheduling as a discipline in which information technology can be applied, is also discussed. It is important to understand that irrigation scheduling can be based on two underlying principles, i.e. atmospheric modelling and soil moisture measurement. Various examples of measurement instruments are discussed. Climatic based disease modelling and petiole sampling as a method to determine nutritional status in the potato plant, was also discussed. A brief discussion of computerised agriculture management software was included to conclude the discussion on the principles and instruments available for information technology in irrigated potato production. The use of fertiliser scheduling, irrigation scheduling and climatic modelling to reduce fungal diseases in potatoes, as information technology methods, are explained in greater detail. It is shown that recommended levels for various nutrients do exist and that petiole analysis as a method to determine these levels at various growth stages, can be applied successfully. It is further argued that with various methods of irrigation scheduling, proper decision making about the amount and timing of irrigation needed, can be possible. The Plant-Plus system as a method to better control Late Blight on potatoes, is discussed. The results obtained through a commercial trial proves the validity of climatic modelling as a method of information technology to reduce production risk on potatoes, specifically the risk associated with Late Blight. The existence of and results obtained through the equipment and methods previuosly mentioned, raises the question of the economic viability of information technology at farm level. To investigate the perception of growers with regard to the applicability of information technology to reduce production risk and their readiness to adopt such . -- technology, a questionnaire was sent to 40 commercial potato growers throughout South Africa. Growers were tested on their perception with regard to the use of information technology on aspects such as financial management, irrigation scheduling, fertilisation, climatic measurement for fungal modelling as well as a profile analysis of the grower. The results of the survey are tabulated and analysed. Growers were on average positive about the value of information technology and indicated that under certain conditions, they were prepared to implement such technology. Margins in commercial potato production are under severe pressure and are in fact shrinking. Case studies presented in this investigation and results from the pilot survey indicate that the use of information technology is not only important for the reduction of risk in potato production but also imperative for sustainable and profitable potato production. It can therefore be concluded that, based on the results obtained in the pilot questionnaire, a statistical valid sample would probably support the findings in the pilot study. The pilot study indicated that reliable, affordable and practical information technology, as it has been presented in this investigation, does have a place in modern day irrigated potato production.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie evalueer die gebruik van informasie tegnologie as 'n metode om produksie risiko in die verbouing van aartappels onder besproeiing, te verminder. Risiko in landbou word onder klimatologiese, mark of prys en produksie verwante risiko bespreek. Produksie verwante risiko kan weer onderverdeel word in risiko wat verband hou met plant of vestiging, besproeiing, bemesting, plaag en pes beheer asook oes. Dit is dan in die bogenoemde dissiplines waar informasie tegnologie moontlik aangewend kan word om produksie verwante risiko te verminder. Die kern van hierdie ondersoek kan gevolglik saamgevat word as 'n ondersoek na die ekonomiese regverdigbaarheid van informasie tegnologie as 'n metode om produksierisiko in die verbouing van aartappels onder besproeiing, te verminder. Daar word kortliks verwys na aartappel verbouing in wêreld en Suid Afrikaanse konteks. In Suid Afrikaanse konteks is die relatiewe belangrikheid van aartappelverbouing in vergelyking met ander gewasse uitgelig. Ten einde 'n beter begrip vir die ekonomiese omstandighede waaronder aartappels in Suid Afrika verbou word, word 'n afbraak van produksiekoste oor streke verskaf Dit is belangrik om die ekonomie van aartappelproduksie te verstaan voordat 'n deeglike evaluering van die moontlike voordele wat informasie tegnologie kan inhou, onderneem kan word. Verskeie beginsels en instrumente in die aanwending van informasie tegnologie, soos van toepassing in die verbouing van aartappels onder besproeiing, word ook toegelig. Hieronder word besproeiingskedulering as 'n metode bespreek. Dit is verder belangrik om te besef dat besproeiingskedulering op hoofsaaklik twee beginsels berus naamlik atmosferiese modellering en fisiese grondvog meting. Verskeie voorbeelde van meetinstrumente word bespreek. Klimatologiese siektemodellering en petioolontledings as 'n metode om die voedingstatus van aartappelplante te bepaal, word ook bespreek. Die gebruik van bemestingskedulering, besproeiingskedulering en klimatologiese modellering vir die beheer van laatroes op aartappels, as metodes van informasie tegnologie, word in groter besonderhede toegelig. Daar is aangetoon dat aanbevole peile vir verskeie nutriënte bestaan. Deur die neem van gereelde petiool ontledings kan hierdie peile suksesvol gedurende die opeenvolgende fenologiese stadia van die aartappelplant, gehandhaaf word. Daar is verder aangevoer dat deur die gebruik van verskeie metodes van besproeiingskedulering, deeglike besluitneming rakende die hoeveelheid en tydsberekening van 'n besproeiing, moontlik is. Die Plant-Plus sisteem as 'n metode om laatroes op aartappels te beheer, is toegelig. Resultate behaal in 'n kommersiële aanplanting het die geldigheid van klimatologiese modellering as 'n metode om produksierisiko - veral die risiko geassosieer met laatroes - te verminder, onderskryf. Die bestaan van resultate en instrumente soos voorgehou in Hoofstukke 3 en 4, onderskryf of bevestig die vermoede dat informasie tegnologie wel aangewend kan word om produksierisiko in aartappelverbouing te verminder. Die vraag is egter of dit ekonomies op plaasvlak aangewend kan word. Ten einde die persepsie met betrekking tot - die toepaslikheid en gereedheid van produsente in dié verband te evalueer, is 'n loodsvraelys na 40 respondente, wat die kommersiële aartappelprodusente regdeur Suid Afrika verteenwoordig, gestuur. Respondente is ge-evalueer met betrekking tot hul persepsie rakende die gebruik van informasie tegnologie in die dissiplines van finansiële bestuur, besproeiingskedulering, nutriëntskedulering en klimatologiese modellering vir die beheer van laatroes. Respondente was oor die algemeen positief met betrekking tot die nut van informasie tegnologie en dat onder seker voorwaardes, hulle dit sal gebruik. Marges in kommersiële aartappelverbouing is onder ernstige druk en is inderdaad besig om te krimp. Gevallestudies wat in hierdie ondersoek voorgehou is, asook resultate verkry uit die vraelys, dui aan dat informasie tegnologie nie alleen belangrik is vir die vermindering van risiko in aartappelverbouing me, maar ook noodsaaklik IS vir volhoubare en winsgewende aartappelproduksie. Dit kan gevolglik gestel word dat resultate verkry uit die loodsvraelys, daarop mag dui dat 'n statisties verifieerbare steekproef moontlik kan uitwys dat betroubare, bekostigbare en praktiese informasie tegnologie, soos voorgehou in hierdie ondersoek, wel 'n bestaansreg in die moderne verbouing van aartappels onder besproeiing het.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de recherche a pour objet de comprendre les rouages et les mécanismes qui concourent à la constitution du phénomène d'usage des technologies d'information et de communication en milieu industriel. Nous considérons les TIC comme des dispositifs de communication médiatisée. C'est par une approche inductive de type ethnographique et grâce à une immersion dans le terrain sidérurgique, que nous proposons une modélisation interprétative du phénomène d'usage. Le modèle de l'enchevêtrement des techniques, des discours et des pratiques attire l'attention sur l'importance de la prise en considération de l'articulation de ces trois dimensions. Il a l'avantage de dépasser les déterminismes technique et social en identifiant trois processus constitutifs de l'usage : l'idéalisation de la technique dans les discours, la banalisation des TIC dans les pratiques ; et enfin, leur légitimation. Il se crée ainsi une construction graduelle de l'usage des dispositifs de communication médiatisée, qui à force d'être utilisés deviennent invisibles. L'usage des TIC se révèle un phénomène qui se construit dans la durée et qui revêt des formes diversesThe purpose of this research is to analyze the inner workings and mechanisms that facilitate the emergence of the phenomenon of ICTs use in an industrial environment. We consider ICTs as mediated communication devices. By using an inductive ethnographic approach and relying on our detailed study of the metallurgical sector, we propose an interpretive modelling of the phenomenon of its use. The model of the overlapping roles of techniques, discourses and practices underscores the importance of considering how these three dimensions interact. It has the advantage of going beyond the technical and social determinism by identifying the three constituent processes of ICTs use: technique idealization in discourse, the widespread use of ICTs in practices and, lastly, their legitimization. Thus, a gradual construct emerges of the use of mediated communication devices, which have become so commonplace that they blend into the local environment. The use of ICTs has proven to be an evolutive phenomenon that develops over time and takes a variety of forms

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund & Problemdiskussion: Hållbarhet är ett aktuellt och omdiskuterat ämne i det moderna samhället. I den hållbara utvecklingen bär företag ett stort ansvar där energibranschen har uppmärksammats för dess betydande inverkan på miljön. Företag tillhandahåller hållbarhetsredovisningar för att kommunicera hur de arbetar för att bidra till den hållbara utvecklingen. En intressentgrupp som efterfrågar information om detta är investerare då de är i behov av att kunna jämföra företags redovisningar vid investeringsbeslut. Trots tillämpning av samma riktlinjer förekommer det skillnader mellan företagens hållbarhetsredovisningar, vilket hämmar jämförbarheten. Tidigare forskning har visat att det är vanligt att företag upprättar hållbarhetsredovisningar enligt Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) vars riktlinjer och standarder skall främja både mätbarhet och jämförbarhet. Syfte: Utifrån det institutionella begreppet isomorfism bör företag som tillämpar samma riktlinjer bli mer jämförbara. Därav syftar denna studie till att undersöka hur jämförbarheten mellan svenska energiföretags hållbarhetsredovisningar har utvecklats över tid vid tillämpning av GRI. Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ ansats men omfattas även av kvantitativa inslag. En komparativ forskningsdesign har tillämpats då studien ämnar till att undersöka hur jämförbarheten mellan energiföretags hållbarhetsredovisningar har utvecklats över tid. Primärdata i form av hållbarhetsredovisningar för åren 2016 och 2019 har samlats in från sju energiföretag som följer GRI. Innehållet i hållbarhetsredovisningarna har analyserats utifrån en innehållsanalys som går under benämningen Consolidate Narrivate Interogation (CONI). Slutsats: Studiens resultat visar att jämförbarheten mellan hållbarhetsredovisningar av svenska energiföretag som följer GRI har ökat över tid. Däremot förekommer det skillnader gällande hur detaljerad information som tillhandahålls samt vad de anser är viktigast att informera om. Detta påvisar att även om jämförbarheten har ökat är företagens hållbarhetsredovisningar fortfarande inte jämförbara.Background & Problem: Sustainability is a current and debated topic in modern society. Companies are held responsible to carry out the development of their goods and services in a sustainable way. The energy sector has been noticed for its considerable impact on the climate and the environment. Companies are providing sustainability reports to communicate their work to contribute to a more sustainable future. Investors are requesting sustainability reports to be able to compare the sustainable work within companies before making decisions regarding investments. There are guidelines to follow but despite that it is hard to compare the sustainability reports between companies. Research has found that it is common that the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines are used by companies and the guidelines aim to make the comparison between companies easier. Purpose: Companies using the same guidelines should be more comparable according to the institutional concept of isomorphism. The purpose of this study is to investigate if Swedish companies within the energy sector who use the GRI guidelines have become more comparable over time. Method: The study has a qualitative approach but do also contain qualitative elements. A comparative research design has been applied as the study aims to investigate how the comparability between energy companies’ sustainability reports have developed over time. Sustainability reports for the years 2016 and 2019 have been collected as the primary data from seven companies that follow the GRI guidelines within the energy sector. The content of the sustainability reports has been analysed based on a content analysis model called Consolidate Narrivate Interogation (CONI). Conclusion: The comparability between the companies sustainability reports have increased over time according to the findings of the study. There is still a difference though in the level of details provided and which topic that is the most important to provide information about. The conclusion of the study is that the companies are not comparable even if the comparability has increased over time.

Full textAbstract:
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att belysa hur den kris som Covid-19 pandemin skapat harpåverkat hotell och resebyråers digitala taktiska respektive planerade strategiska marknadsföring,samt den krishantering som tillämpats av företagen under denna pandemin och de lärdomar dedragit av denna kris.Teori: Den teoretiska referensramen för denna studie innefattar marknadsförings-, krishanteringsoch organisationsteori. Inom marknadsföring har SCRM samt RACE marketing planningframework modellerna tillämpats och inom krishantering har krisprocessen och kriskurvanmodellerna. Vad gäller organisationsteori har fokus varit på organisatoriskt lärande och teoriernasingle-, double- och triple-loop learning samt learning in crisis.Metod: Studien omfattar en kvalitativ undersökning av två hotell och två resebyråer grundad på ensemistrukturerad intervjumetod.Slutsatser: Covid-19 pandemin har tvingat respondenterna att vara flexibla och att göra kortsiktigaanpassningar av sina marknadsföringsmetoder. Den taktiska marknadsföringen har skett genom enökad användning av digitala kanaler som lyhört anpassats till kundernas behov av hälsa ochsäkerhet. Det var ännu för tidigt för att bedöma eventuella förändringar i den strategiskamarknadsföringen men några respondenter förväntade sig ett större fokus på värde begrepp somhälsa och trygghet. Samtliga respondenter har i praktiken ägnat sig åt krishantering och de flestarespondenterna hade någon form av förberedda krisplaner, som dock inte varit anpassade till en såomfattande och djup kris som den förevarande. Samtliga respondenter verkar ha fått en större insikti vikten av att ha en effektiv och tät intern och extern kriskommunikation. Den yttre situationen harskapat ett stort tryck på respondenterna och har givit dem lärdomar som de möjligen inte hade fåttunder normala omständigheter, inklusive att på ett flexibelt och lättrörligt sätt anpassa sig till nyaoch föränderliga situationer. Även om Covid-19 pandemin framkallat mycket stress och ångest såhar den även haft positiva effekter som kan ge upphov till mer varaktiga förändringar.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to shed some light on how some hotels and travel agenciesin the Swedish tourism and hospitality industry have adapted to and managed the effects of theCovid-19 pandemic, particularly in terms of strategic and tactical digital marketing as well as crisismanagement, and the lessons learned from this crisis.Theory: The theoretical foundations for this paper include digital marketing theories, crisismanagement and organizational theory. In marketing theory, the SCRM and the RACE marketingplanning framework models have been applied and in terms of crisis management, the crisismanagement process as well as the crisis curve models have been applied. In terms oforganizational theory, focus has been on organizational learning and the theories single-, doubleand triple-loop learning as well as learning in crisis.Method: This study is a qualitative study of two hotels and two travel agencies based on semistructured interviews.Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the Covid-19 pandemic has forced the respondents tobe flexible and to make short-term adjustments to their marketing tactics. The tactical marketinghas included an increased use of digital channels and an adaptation of their marketing to theircustomers' needs for health and safety. It was too early to assess any changes in strategicmarketing, but some respondents planned to place a greater focus on value concepts such ashealth and safety. In practice, all respondents were engaged in crisis management and most of therespondents had some form of prepared crisis plans, which, however, were not adapted to such anextensive and protracted crisis as the Covid-19 pandemic. All respondents seemed to have gainedgreater insight into the importance of having effective and frequent internal and external crisiscommunication. The external situation has put a great deal of pressure on the respondents and hasgiven them lessons that they might not have acquired under normal circumstances, including acapacity to adapt flexibly and easily to new and changing situations. Although the Covid-19pandemic has caused a lot of stress and anxiety, it has also had positive effects that could triggerchanges in their longer term strategic marketing.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last 15 years there has been a dynamic shift within the fitness industry, particularly for women. For decades, women were expected to participate in aerobic-based workouts and maintain a thin figure. This thin ideal has been harmful to women and contributed to low levels of self-esteem. CrossFit diverges from aerobics by encouraging strength training and teaching women that workouts can be functional, and beauty does not only lie in one’s aesthetics. The emergence and growth of CrossFit is shifting fitness-related gender norms and expectations, and possibly contributing to higher levels of self-esteem in women. This shift has become more apparent and visible though the growth of social networking sites like Instagram. Since Instagram is a photo- and video-based platform, there are significant opportunities for social comparison. Therefore, researchers should attempt to better understand how women in CrossFit engage with Instagram, and more specifically, how social comparison mediates self-esteem. This research gained insight into CrossFit—a fitness program dominating worldwide and challenging harmful social norms for women within the fitness industry—by examining how women CrossFitters engage in social comparison on Instagram. This research fills a much-needed gap because there is a lack of research on women CrossFitters, Instagram, and social comparison. The researcher administered a survey consisting of seven scales and 72 questions throughout the greater Sacramento area measuring social comparison habits, self-esteem, superiority, and Instagram use among women CrossFitters. The researcher used correlation analysis to answer the proposed hypotheses. Although the collected data did not fully support all hypotheses, the research produced significant results and implications that contribute to a better understanding of the current state of the fitness industry, Women CrossFitters’ use of Instagram, and social comparison.

Full textAbstract:
A longitudinal study in ten small companies operating in the U.K. construction industry was undertaken using a grounded theory approach over the period 1980-85. The research project involved detailed discussions with management and staff throughout the period of selection, implementation and live operation of a microcomputer-based information system (MIS). The objective was to identify the nature of problems experienced by small companies when introducing microcomputer-based MIS and thereby determine the variables relating to the degree of success achieved. Whilst four companies successfully reached the stage of live operation and use of the information system, five were judged unsuccessful having abandoned the project during the research period. The remaining company continued to experience organisational difficulties relating to the system development. The characteristics of the successful and unsuccessful companies are used to build a grounded model of MIS development in small companies. Research findings raised many contextual, processual and methodological issues concerning the selection, implementation and live operation of microcomputer-based management information systems in this type of environment. A strategy for the successful implementation of microcomputer-based MIS, embracing the factors determining success/failure in the small organisation environment, is presented. The thesis concludes by offering some advice to the systems developers and the information systems design community concerning MIS development in small organisations.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse en sciences de gestion a pour objet de prendre la mesure du rôle du système d’information dans le déclenchement et la propagation des difficultés que rencontrent les petites et moyennes entreprises du secteur agro-alimentaire en France. Nous étudions le lien entre le désalignement des usages du système d’information et les difficultés que peuvent rencontrer les PME.Le terrain est constitué, d’un côté, par des enquêtes d’entreprises qui permettent de construire un indicateur synthétique de performances et, de l’autre côté, par l’enquête COI-TIC de 2006 dont nous obtenons quatre jeux d’indicateurs liés à l’usage du système d’information.À l’aide d’une démarche compréhensive, nous caractérisons ainsi le rôle du système d’information et son désalignement dans les dynamiques de performances. Nous montrons, au cas des PME des IAA, notamment l’importance de la coordination électronique (inter entreprise et entre les parties prenantes) et la place majeure des changements impliquant des projets informatiques. Enfin, les entreprises, quelles que soient leurs performances, rencontrent d’importantes difficultés d’appropriation des usages du système d’informationThe purpose of this thesis in management science is to assess the role of Information Systems in triggering and propagating the kind of problems faced by small and medium-sized enterprises in the food industry in France. The thesis will explore the relationship between misalignments in the uses of Information Systems and the difficulties with which SMEs are often confronted.The field of research is composed, on the one hand, of company surveys, used to elaborate a composite performance indicator, and on the other, the 2006 COI-TIC survey, from which four sets of indicators concerning the uses of Information Systems were extrapolated.Applying a comprehensive approach, the thesis defines the impact of the misalignment of Information Systems on performance dynamics. It also highlights, notably, the importance for SMEs in the food industry of IT coordination between companies and between those companies and their stakeholders, and examines the central role of changes involving IT projects. Lastly, regardless of their performances, companies face major difficulties in appropriating uses of Information Systems

Revised No.10 Communiqué Financial Accounting activated in January 2009. The Communiqué strongly impacts the financial statement. The change from the follow-up measurement of inventory method is the most noted change that can impact the company tremendously. This study is based on issues as stated below, using an example of S company, to set forth and discuss steps of adjustment, re-explanation of statement expression and unsolved problems which could still exist in the future when the business encounters with the new rule of No.10 Communiqué. This study lists the following finding from the survey. 1.Hard to measure net sale value: Regarding the rule of revised Communiqué, the value of raw material “Net Sale Value” should be measured in net sale value of estimated sale.But raw material could be made into various products. Unlike processing goods which is easily estimated to what related full goods will be. Raw material will increase the difficulty of measuring net sale value. 2.Change the adjustment of impact figure of inventory cost calculating method: The accumulated impact figure of accounting principle modification could be difficult to calculate. 3.The classified methods need to be judged professionally. The impact in business profits and losses will be tremendous due to the inventory calculation changes to individual or classified items from the entire items method and judgmental standard for classification should be identical. 4.The cancellation of the“entire comparison method”impacts profitability: After cancelation of the new“entire comparison method”communiqué, enterprises are no longer able to take advantage of a mutual offset in-between profitable product and losses product. It will decrease profitability on the business financial statement. 5.Current non-amortization of fixed production expenses will be listed as cost items. As the non-amortization of fixed production expenses is caused by the lowering of future production or equipment idling, it should be listed as current “Cost of Goods Sold”.If decreasing OEM order is due to new construction or purchasing plant in the business initial period, it will cause tremendous non-amortization fixed production expenses.The result will impact the business profits and losses performances tremendously. 6.The expression and reading of financial statement: After applying new Communiqué, the expression and judgment of gross income rate is no longer simply a result of sales behavior; the judgement of inventory turnover will be impacted by the change of composition of cost of goods sold such as the judgmental data which are new issues that the statement readers need to learn.

The Tin-Lead alloy is widely applied on the weld material of electronic elements and circuit base plates. The main composition of Tin-Lead alloy weld material is 37wt% of Plumbum and 63wt% of Stannum. Tin-Lead dreg is the offal of weld which is applied on electronic industry. For the purpose of discussing the most fitting terms and economic benefits of that, this research takes one Tin-Lead weld dreg processing factory in Taiwan as an example to do a case study by adopting the practical operation method on the spot of that factory. On one hand, take the heat as one operation factor and melt the dreg in crucible by controlling of temperature from 250 Centigrade degree to 950 Centigrade degree. On the other hand, take voltage as the other operation factor and bridle the tension from 1V to 4V by acid liquid electrolytic purification method. This study shows the result that the lead content of abolish Tin-Lead alloy weld material is lower than 0.5% by melting and refining between 650 Centigrade degree under temperature experimentation, which meets the standard composition of the row material and inclines the operation cost. The economic profit of recycling is over than 33.18 million NT dollars and the amount of re-use is over than 183 metric ton which is revealed on the statistical information at the duration from June 13, 2005 to December 13, 2006. We can get obvious result that the recycling of the dreg has economic benefit. On the other hand, in order to meet the specifications of RoHS, one must get rid of lead from the Tin-Lead alloy. This research exhibits that the quality meets regulation of RoHs and possesses economic benefits of recycling when the voltage mode is 3V on the pattern of acid liquid electrolytic purification. This research looks forward to offer the multitude to recognize the contribution of recycling, and let resources can be retrieved and utilized, so that the benefit of recycling can be improved continuously.
