«As long as I am an artist, I will also be an actress». A study of Adelaide Ristori’s stage practice
This dissertation investigates the stage practice of nineteenth-century star actress Adelaide Ristori: it aims at reconstructing both her working method and her acting style and at identifying, as a final and “open” conclusion, those features of her practice as a stock company stage manager that can be considered as signs of a progress towards modern stage direction.
Several sources have been employed; the archival research took place mainly at Museo Biblioteca dell’Attore in Genova, holding a precious and considerable collection devoted to Adelaide Ristori (Fondo Ristori).
Starting from some considerations about the little documented beginnings of Adelaide Ristori’s career in her artistic family, the first part of this dissertation reconstructs the working method the actress accurately practised in the years of her artistic maturity.
Adelaide Ristori was an innovative actress. Every performance of hers was founded on the study of many sources – dramatic, literary, figurative – and on a double approach to the character, i.e. a rational and cognitive and an empathic approach. The artist then built her part upon two scores she worked out from such premises, that is to say a vocal and a physical score. These were the basis of the precise reconstruction of the emotional journey of the character she was to interpret, and of the connection between the actress’ body and the psychological motivation of the character. The actress worked out this complex construction of the part thanks to her constant concentration and the power of her stage presence. Every detail in the performance was carefully selected and built in an actorial work whose cornerstones were verisimilitude, formal restraint, a refined explication of the dialectic relation between the inner and outer self, the respect for the playwright’s intents and the individuation of the core motifs in the play allowing for the communication of ethical and poetical values.
The ethical and educative value of the theatre was of primary importance in Adelaide Ristori’s theatrical history: through her artistic work she meant to embody a model enhancing the cultural and social re-evaluation of the theatre. She also wanted to represent and advertise a new image of the actor and above all of the actress as a virtuous being, an emblem of a profession worthy of being appreciated both on a human and on an artistic level.
To promote these values on the stage, Adelaide Ristori included metatheatrical pieces in her repertoire; the leading characters of these plays are actresses whose parts – true manifestos of her poetics – voice her very idea of the theatre and art. The French plays we analyse in the second part of this dissertation are emblematic examples: Adriana Lecouvreur by Eugène Scribe and Ernest Legouvé and Béatrix ou La Madone de l’Art by Ernest Legouvé. In both cases we delineate the history of the play and we try to reconstruct – as far as possible – Ristori’s performance, mainly referring to the relevant promptbooks and the plentiful articles held in the Ristori Fund.
As a conclusion, we offer some considerations on Ristori’s ensemble work with her company, the Compagnia Drammatica Italiana. An actress who fixed both her individual interpretation and the whole performance that she directed in a definite form, Adelaide Ristori appears as the emblem of an innovative conception of theatrical performance as a consistent and composite artistic event; in such work she played the role of an actress-manager who could guarantee aesthetic and poetical consistency, foreshadowing in some aspects the art of modern stage direction in Italy.«Fino a che farò l’artista, sarò anche attrice». Uno studio sulla prassi teatrale di Adelaide Ristori La ricerca è incentrata sullo studio della prassi scenica della Grande Attrice ottocentesca Adelaide Ristori e si propone di definire concretamente il metodo di lavoro e lo stile attorale dell’interprete e di enucleare, quale ipotesi conclusiva e “aperta”, gli aspetti della sua pratica capocomicale come presagi di un approccio preregistico allo spettacolo teatrale. Le fonti utilizzate sono state molteplici e le ricerche d’archivio si sono svolte principalmente al Museo Biblioteca dell’Attore di Genova dove è conservato il ricchissimo Fondo Adelaide Ristori. Nella prima parte del lavoro, partendo da alcune riflessioni sulle origini assai poco documentate della carriera di Adelaide Ristori figlia d’arte, si è giunti alla delineazione del metodo di lavoro praticato, con precisione e minuzia, negli anni della maturità artistica. Attrice innovativa rispetto al passato, Adelaide Ristori basa ogni sua interpretazione sullo studio del testo e di svariate fonti (teatrali, letterarie, figurative) e su un doppio percorso di avvicinamento al personaggio, razionale-conoscitivo ed empatico. L’artista giunge poi ad un’elaborazione scenica dell’interpretazione fondata sulla definizione di una duplice partitura vocale e fisica, sulla quale si innesta una ricostruzione precisa del percorso emotivo del personaggio basato sull’organicità fra corpo e motivazioni psicologiche e sorretto – al momento dell’esecuzione – dalla costanza della concentrazione e dalla forza della presenza scenica. Tutto è scelto e costruito entro un lavoro attorico che deve rispondere ai criteri di verosimiglianza, misura formale, raffinata esplicazione della dialettica interno-esterno, adesione alla voce del drammaturgo, individuazione dei motivi d’interesse del testo per la comunicazione di valori etici e poetici personali. La valenza etica ed educativa del teatro è parte integrante della storia di Adelaide Ristori, tesa ad incarnare con il proprio operato artistico un esempio di rivalutazione culturale e sociale del teatro stesso. A ciò si accompagna il desiderio di proporre una nuova immagine dell’attore, e soprattutto dell’attrice, quale figura portatrice di valori morali, emblema di un mestiere degno di riconoscimento umano e artistico. Per affermare tali istanze ideali, Adelaide Ristori inserisce nel suo repertorio testi metateatrali con al centro parti di attrici che possono essere considerate “manifesti” della sua visione del teatro e dell’arte. Tra i casi più emblematici, vi sono due opere francesi, analizzate nella seconda parte di questo lavoro: Adriana Lecouvreur di Eugène Scribe ed Ernest Legouvé e Béatrix ou La Madone de l’Art di Ernest Legouvé. Per entrambi, si è delineata la storia dello spettacolo e si è tentato di ricostruire l’interpretazione del personaggio, in particolare mediante l’analisi dei copioni e dei ritagli stampa del Fondo Ristori. In conclusione, si sono proposte alcune riflessioni sul lavoro della Grande Attrice all’interno dell’ensemble della sua Compagnia Drammatica Italiana. Attrice che formalizza la propria performance individuale e analogamente l’intero spettacolo di cui è responsabile e “direttrice artistica”, Adelaide Ristori sembra infatti essere l’emblema di una innovativa concezione dello spettacolo come evento artistico coerente e composito, per la creazione del quale emerge la necessità di una guida capace di garantire uniformità estetica e poetica alla rappresentazione teatrale e tale da essere l’espressione di una interessante tensione preregistica.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Matsui Sumako, nome d'arte di Kobayashi Masako, è considerata la prima attrice giapponese moderna. Verso la fine del periodo Meiji, dopo due secoli e mezzo di interdizione dai teatri, la donna si riappropria del palcoscenico anche grazie all'influsso del teatro occidentale e della figura dell'attrice che domina le scene europee e americane.
Kawakami Sadayakko, ex geisha e moglie dell'impresario e attore Kawakami Otojirō, riapre il percorso dell'attrice nel teatro giapponese, ma sarà Matsui Sumako che, impersonificando l'ideale di "atarashii onna" (nuova donna), sarà considerata a tutti gli effetti la prima attrice moderna giapponese. Con la rappresentazione di "Casa di Bambola" di Henrik Ibsen inaugura il dibattito sul ruolo della donna nel teatro e nella società, coinvolgendo il gruppo femminista giapponese Seitō, e le sue interpretazioni prenderanno parte al più vasto progetto di riforma del teatro giapponese.
Molto chiacchierata all'epoca per la sua relazione con il maestro e regista Shimamura Hōgetsu e ricordata ancora oggi per il successo di "La canzone di Katiuscia", quella che viene considerata la prima canzone popolare giapponese, Matsui Sumako, con le debite luci e ombre, è stata una figura coraggiosa e rivoluzionaria che a più livelli ha lasciato il segno nella storia sociale e culturale del Giappone moderno.

Texte intégralRésumé :
La tesi "Analisi sperimentale di saldature per attrito" descrive due tipologie di saldature per attrito, la Friction Stir Welding e in modo approfondito la Rotary Friction Welding.
Dopo l'assemblaggio del macchinario, sono stati fatti dei test sperimentali su dei provini in lega di alluminio 6082-T6.
I parametri utilizzati nel processo della RFW sono: velocità di rotazione variabile, pressione di attrito, tempo di attrito variabile, pressione di forgiatura, tempo di forgiatura, variazione di lunghezza.
Dopo le saldature dei provini sono state effettuate le prove a trazione per verificare il carico di rottura dei provini saldati rispetto a quello ottenuto nel materiale base.
I risultati sono stati più che soddisfacenti.
Risultati analoghi si sono riscontrati nella FSW.

Mitchell, A'Shawn Lora. « Corporate Image Branding Strategies to Attract Engineering Talent ». ScholarWorks, 2019. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/7561.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Aerospace and defense leaders need corporate image branding strategies to improve their attraction of engineering talent to the industry. The purpose of this single case study was to explore corporate image branding strategies leaders use at an aerospace and defense company to attract talent and increase competitive advantage. The framework for this study was the recruitment equity model. The sample population consisted of 5 marketing leaders and 5 talent acquisition leaders of an aerospace and defense company in the eastern region of the United States. The study participants had a minimum of 5 years of experience attracting engineering talent using branding strategies. Data were collected from semistructured interviews and a review of the company's talent attraction plan. The data analysis process included methodological triangulation, coding, and identifying themes. Four themes emerged: having an attractive place to work, using social media to attract talent, ensuring the mission is the basis for attracting talent, and attracting untapped talent. Findings from this study might assist aerospace and defense leaders in implementing corporate image branding strategies that close the gap of talent attraction to the aerospace and defense industry. The implications for positive social change include the potential to increase innovation and reduce national security vulnerabilities by attracting talent to the aerospace and defense industry. The business leaders of aerospace and defense will keep the industry viable by attracting top engineering talent to a workforce that is responsible for eliminating the advanced threats to the nation and its allies.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Il presente elaborato ha come obiettivo l’analisi dei discorsi di ringraziamento pronunciati nelle cerimonie dei premi Oscar dal 1990 al 2015 da attori e attrici, protagonisti e non protagonisti, premiati con la statuetta dorata per le loro performance recitative.
L’elaborato si articola in tre capitoli: nel primo, si delinea la storia dei premi Oscar, considerati la cerimonia di premiazione cinematografica per antonomasia, con particolare attenzione ai metodi di selezione di premiati e vincitori da parte dell’Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Ci si concentra anche sul significato, letterale e simbolico, dei discorsi di ringraziamento, e sulla rilevanza che essi hanno all’interno della cerimonia. Nel secondo capitolo, si analizzano i discorsi di ringraziamento dei vincitori da un punto di vista linguistico, con particolare attenzione a prosodia, prossemica, retorica e deissi. Nel terzo e ultimo capitolo, infine, l’analisi assume toni più prettamente culturali, focalizzando l’attenzione sugli aspetti pragmatici e contenutistici dei discorsi, nonché nel tentativo di confrontare gli atteggiamenti delle due categorie nazionali più premiate agli Oscar: gli americani e i britannici.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The purpose of this study was to examine how various universities address E-marketing activities as a help for attracting more students. The key issue was to add knowledge by investigating and understanding E-marketing activities in combination with parts of Promotion Mix, and Relationship Marketing. Three universities in the south of Sweden were interviewed. A qualitative research method was applied, in combination with an deductive approach. Theories regarding the above mentioned elements were investigated and compared with data from semi-structured interviews of universities’ communication departments. Findings showed that in general universities are taking E-marketing into consideration, and understand the importance of its implementation. Yet, they have not applied all the activities which could have been to their advantage. Findings also showed that the universities’ most efficient E-marketing tool was their websites, as it could be appreciated by both current and potential students. In addition, Relationship Marketing and Promotion Mix seemed, in all universities, as a proper complement for E-marketing. However, it appeared that both elements were not implemented to their fullest either. This study could be of use to both practitioners and academics. The study shares information and knowledge of marketing channels which can be useful, yet, have not been used to their full capacity. Practitioners may benefit from the theory and findings, which show how higher education is adjusting to the technological revolution.

Texte intégralRésumé :
With increasing challenges facing the South African economic environment, the need to assist locally distressed companies appears to be more than ever an area of concern in order for these organisations to survive and the economy to thrive. The formal process known as Business Rescue, introduced in 2011, seeks to assist distressed companies by attempting to turn them back into going concerns.
Existing literature however suggests, the success rate of this formal protocol to date has been low and one of the key reasons why seems to be the limited availability of local distressed funding. The aim of this research was therefore to establish what the current landscape of the local distressed market is and if an opportunity exists to alternatively seek external source of funds on an international level by attracting foreign investors to buyout these companies under Business Rescue based on their value.
The research approach used was qualitative and exploratory in nature, where thirteen highly experienced experts were interviewed that provided a wealth of insight in the specific focussed area.
The outcome however suggested that due to the many current uncertainties being experienced in the economic environment, the opportunity to attract foreign investors appears to be limited.Mini Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2017.

Albarino, Laurie Ann. « Nonprofit Leader External Communication Strategies to Attract New Donors ». ScholarWorks, 2019. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/7853.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Approximately 64% of nonprofit leaders struggle to connect with supporters through fund initiatives alone, and 59% of nonprofit leaders lack the marketing communication capability to attract new donors. Fundraising is vital to nonprofit organizations' sustainability and essential for successfully attracting new donors. The purpose of this qualitative single case study was to explore effective external communication strategies used by 3 southern California nonprofits through the conceptual lens of the integrated marketing communications theory. Data were gathered using semistructured interviews, a review of organizational documents and online databases, and the Baldrige Excellence Framework. The data were analyzed using Yin's 5-step process. The two key themes that emerged were process strengths and process opportunities. The results of this study could contribute to positive social change by helping organizations strengthen external communications strategies to increase new donors and financial capital to achieve mission goals.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This essay is concerned with the workings of hospitality towards the other in J.M. Coetzee’s novel Slow Man. The reading proposed here is that the bicycle accident which befalls protagonist Paul Rayment on the novel’s first page, costing him his leg and a large portion of his previous vitality, renders him momentarily “unstrung,” understood here as a state of passive openness to the unknown, of absolute responsiveness or hospitality towards the other. The other is here defined as that which is—more or less—ungraspable in the self, in another being or in an unexpected event. A key argument put forward is that the accident also accentuates Paul Rayment’s enduring sense of unhomedness, his alienation in relation to body, language and self. The desire for home or belonging with other people brings about deliberate acts of hospitality on his part, as he tries to find a home for himself by inviting others in. The essay examines how these two strands of ideas—being unhomed and being unstrung—intersect in moments of hospitality in Slow Man, and reflects on how hospitality can and cannot succeed in creating a home for the subject. Theories of hospitality by Jacques Derrida, Derek Attridge and Mike Marais are discussed and serve as inspiration to the reading.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Problem Following the expanded competition when it comes to attraction and retention of skilled workers, hence white-collar workers, organizations need to better adapt to the rapid changes in the labor market. Due to the lack of knowledge about the recent Generation Z and their perceptions and values regarding work, the Person-Organization (P-O) fit has been applied in order to gain a deeper knowledge of what attracts and retains individuals of Generation Z, in order for companies to better meet their needs. Purpose Due to the lack of research done on Generation Z, the purpose of this study is to gain a greater understanding of the values and perceptions of Generation Z and how they operate in the white-collar business sector. Moreover, this creates a greater insight for organizations in order to help them better target the right talent pool and gain a greater understanding of Generation Z that has come to change the labor market. Method In order to gain a greater knowledge and insight about Generation Z, a qualitative study has been performed to better understand the perception of this Generation. In-depth interviews have been conducted with Generation Z that have or are currently operating in the white-collar business sector in order to meet the purpose of this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in order to allow for a fruitful discussion of their values and perceptions and the likely impacts they consider when joining an organization. Conclusion Generation Z indicated that certain aspects are to consider in the decision-making process of applying or taking a job. Indeed, their own values, beliefs and work-personal life matter to a great extent and is to be matched with the company. This study comes to the result of six determined factors influencing this decision-making process: small enterprises, flexibility trust and freedom, work/private life environmental factors, organizations values/ethics, do what they love, digital natives.

This thesis investigates how a knowledge-intensive, small, young firm, in a highly competitive environment, deal with difficulties in their recruitment process.. Given their assumed disadvantages, how does the firm attract and retain key personnel? A case study was conducted of a small young firm in Silicon Valley. The findings suggest that small firms do not directly compete with larger firms for personnel, and that the company should emphasize small firms´ work characteristics in their recruiting practices to become attractive for job-seekers.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The use of employer branding has gained popularity since the concept was introduced by Tim Ambler and Simon Barrow in 1996. At first, this consisted of three types of benefits (e.g., functional, economic and psychological) and later Lievens and Highhouse (2003) added two additional benefits: instrumental and symbolic. The concept of employer branding has then been used to attract potential employees, and lately, it has been discussed that the employer brand needs to be adapted to attract and retain Millennials. One way to adapt the employer brand is to review what attributes of an organization is communicated to potential employees. Most research regarding Millennials and employer branding has been conducted in the United States of America (USA) and not in many countries. Because of this, this thesis was conducted with the foundation of previous research that was adapted to and focused on Swedish Millennials. The objective was to find out what attributes is the most important to Swedish Millennials in order to attract and retain them as employees. The result of this thesis was created by first looking at previous research and defining a research problem and a research question. Then, the theoretical framework was conducted, leading to the method chosen to perform this study. Thereafter, the data was gathered and analyzed, leading up to the findings and conclusions that the attributes that are most important concerns the psychological benefits, followed by instrumental benefits and then functional benefits. Furthermore, economic and symbolic benefits are not considered to be as important to Swedish Millennials.Sedan begreppet employer branding introducerades av Tim Ambler and Simon Barrow år 1996, har dess användning ökat. När begreppet först introducerades bestod det av tre förmåner (funktionella, ekonomiska och psykologiska) och utökades sedan av Lievens and Highhouse (2003) med instrumentella och symboliska förmåner. Sedan dess har employer branding använts för att attrahera eventuella arbetstagare. På senare tid har diskussioner först huruvida ett företags employer brand behöver anpassas för att attrahera och behålla individer som tillhör Generation Y (milleniegenerationen). Ett sätt att anpassa ett företags employer brand är att undersöka vilka attribut en organisation förmedlar till potentiella anställda. Majoriteten av all forskning som har skett kring Generation Y har genomförts i USA och det är svårt att hitta forskning kring ämnet som har utförts i ett annat land. På grund av detta har denna uppsats fokuserat på svenska millennier och undersökt vilka attribut hos ett företag som är viktigast för att ett företags ska bli attraktivt för dem. Resultatet i den här uppsatsen togs fram genom att först att ha tittat på vad tidigare forskning har kommit fram till och vad som har saknat för att hitta ett teoretiskt gap och framställa ett syfte med den här uppsatsen. Sedan sammanställdes relevant forskning som ledde till en passande metod. Detta i sin tur ledde till en datainsamling som analyserades för att hitta vilka attribut som är viktigast för svenska millennier, vilket visade sig vara främst psykologiska följt av instrumentella samt funktionella attribut. De ekonomiska samt symboliska attributen räknas inte vara lika viktiga som de övriga attributen.

Orientation : The current global scarcity of highly skilled employees has forced employers to better understand what attracts these kinds of employees, as they are vital to ensure organisational competitiveness and for the continued success of organisations. In the so- called war for talent, small companies believe they are at a disadvantage compared to large corporates in the battle to attract talented employees given limiting or constraining factors associated with being a smaller sized organisation. Research purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative importance of various reward elements or reward factors that Small or Medium Enterprises (SMEs) can manipulate in order to compile compelling job offers that are attractive to top talent. An ideal total rewards offering for the attraction of skilled employees that capitalises on the strengths that smaller companies possess, will be proposed. Motivation for the study : Retaining highly performing employees is one of the most important factors that contribute to organisational competitiveness. Companies need to understand how they can attract scarce human resources and specifically in the South African context, understand how to attract even scarcer employees from designated demographic groups in order to meet employment equity targets. Small companies find it difficult to compete with large corporations, for example when it comes to employer branding and so feel at a disadvantage when attempting to attract from the same group of employees that corporates also endeavour to attract. Research design : A quantitative research approach was adopted. Convenience and snowball sampling approaches were employed to gather data by means of three different questionnaires. Firstly, employees that recently moved from large corporate positions to positions within SMEs were asked what was offered to them in order for them to accept the job offer at a small company (n=11). These results were used to develop the second questionnaire (i.e. to develop the attributes and levels used in the conjoint tasks). The second and third questionnaires (the conjoint task and total reward questionnaires, respectively) were distributed to working adults in South Africa (n=105). Conjoint analysis was used to identify an ideal talent attraction mix and to assess how employer branding compares to traditional reward elements in talent attraction. Data from the third questionnaire was analysed using descriptive statistics and t-tests. Main findings : The results of the conjoint analysis revealed that respondents valued the possibility of career advancement most, specifically referring to promotion opportunities or overseas assignments. Significant differences in preference between demographic groups were found when considering performance and recognition, remuneration and benefits, and work culture. Work-life balance were ranked second last by all respondents, while employer brand was consistently viewed as the least attractive factor in talent attraction. Practical and/or managerial implications : Conjoint analysis enables the unique identification of both the combination and quantum of elements that make a job attractive for various demographic groups. Companies can utilise these findings when crafting job offers in order to attract different cohorts of candidates. Contribution and/ or value-add : Limited research exists in South Africa that can assist small companies in attracting top talent. The current study succeeded in identifying that small companies can attract top talent by capitalising on strengths they possess and furthermore assist SMEs to craft compelling job offers for different cohorts of candidates.

Texte intégralRésumé :
During the last decades there has been an ever-decreasing number of jobs in the industry sector of Sweden. However, in more recent years there are indications that the trend has shifted, and jobs are now being moved back to Sweden, a phenomenoncalled reshoring. This gives opportunities for local municipalities to attract these companies to establish their operations within their territory. However, there is a general competition among the municipalities when it comes to attracting new company establishments, regardless of reshoring. Hence, the purpose of this study is to understand how Swedish municipalities can secure their appeal towards companies that are considering establishing themselves within their boundaries. To study this a multiple-case study is conducted on three Swedish municipalities where respondents responsible for business establishments have been interviewed. An analytical framework was developed where certain archetypes are assigned to the municipalities depending on their profile, Reactor, Insubstantial, Servant and Partner. The analysisl ooks at aspects between municipalities and companies from the perspective of level of value facilitation, level of interaction as well as drivers for reshoring. In conclusion the municipalities have an ambition of ensuring a high level of value facilitation by being responsive and securing high availability towards the companies and keeping a high level of interaction. There is room for improvement for municipalities to develop their strategies and capabilities related to reshoring to better capture these opportunities.

Il numero di problemi meccanici in cui intervengono fenomeni di contatto è quanto mai esteso nelle applicazioni dell'ingegneria meccanica e civile. E' infatti attraverso il contatto, in genere in presenza di attrito, che vengono trasferiti i carichi di superficie ai corpi oggetto di indagine. In particolare, lo spettro di applicazioni comprende lo stampaggio e la lavorazione dei metalli, cuscinetti, impianti frenanti, componenti di motori e turbine, giunti, nonché l'utilizzo nel campo della biomeccanica per lo studio di protesi, articolazioni e denti.
La presente ricerca riguarda la modellazione matematica del problema di contatto in presenza di attrito attraverso la formulazione in forma variazionale duale avente cioè, a differenza della formulazione primale negli spostamenti, come funzioni incognite da determinare le tensioni normale e tangenziale sulla superficie di contatto. E' stato sviluppato l'algoritmo chiamato D-PANA per risolvere i problemi di contatto e di attrito a blocchi e ne è stata provata la

Texte intégralRésumé :
Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2008.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of the study is firstly to determine what the main causes are for employee turnover and turnover intention. Secondly, the study is to investigate the consequences for organisations that are unable to retain or attract talented employees. The data was collected through exit interviews and through personal interviews from the organisation. The sample was taken from a diverse group of individuals consisting of people from all departments in the organisation. In total six departments were considered. The data was categorised into five areas, namely remuneration and benefits, work-life balance, organisational culture, job satisfaction and career development. The data will be presented graphically and then analysed. The literature review was conducted on the categories as categorised from the exit and personal interview data. This was done to compare the literature findings to the data analysis results as established from the exit and personal interview data. The findings suggested that organisational culture was the biggest contributor to employee turnover or turnover intention, followed by career development and job satisfaction. While remuneration and benefits are of some significance, it does not appear to be major contributors.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van die studie is eerstens om die hoofoorsake van werknemer bedankings, sowel as die voorneme van werknemers om organisasies te verlaat, te bepaal. Tweedens, om ondersoek in te stel na die moontlike gevolge vir organisasies wat nie in staat is om werknemers te behou of nuwe talent te lok nie. Inligting vir die studie is deur middel van diensverlatings- en persoonlike onderhoude van die organisasie verkry. 'n Verskeidenheid individue uit ses verskillende departemente het aan die studie deel-geneem. Die inligting is in vyf katagorieë verdeel, naamlik vergoeding en voordele, balans tussen werk en persoonlike lewe, organisasiekultuur, werksbevredeging en loopbaanverbetering. Die data word grafies voorgestel en geanaliseer. Die literatuurstudie is saamgestel in dieselfde vyf katagorieë as die waarin inligting verkry is deur die verskillende onderhoude. Dit is gedoen ten einde die literatuurstudie-bevindings met die data- analise te vergelyk wat deur middel van diensverlatings- en persoonlike onderhoude verkry is. Die studie dui aan dat organisasiekultuur die grootste bydraende faktor is by werknemerbedankings, sowel as by werknemers wat beoog om die organisasies te verlaat. Bykomende bevindings dui op loopbaanverbetering en werksbevrediging. Terwyl vergoeding en voordele 'n faktor is, wys die studie dat dit nie 'n belangrike bydraende faktor is nie.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Digitalization is expanding rapidly and is incorporated in almost all businesses and work fields. While digital applications are a crucial part of our daily lives, the IT industry is homogeneous and has lack of diversity. It becomes a problem when a homogeneous group develops solutions for the entire population. Numerous organizations, schools, and businesses are trying to address the problem. One approach to improve diversity is to inspire youths through applications where they learn to code with games and brain teasers. With this project, we want to provide an alternative approach to teaching programming to reach a wider audience. By taking a step away from an imperative tutorial to a more interactive playful environment, our goal is that our application will appeal to children who do not wish to work towards a set goal or compete with their peers. The result of this project is a web application where a user can write code to animate images.Samhället blir alltmer digitaliserat och är idag en del av nästan alla arbetsområden och företag. Trots att digitala verktyg används av en stor del av befolkningen är IT-industrin homogen och saknar mångfald. Det blir problematiskt när en homogen grupp skapar digitala lösningar för ett helt samhälle. Flera organisationer, skolor och företag engagerar sig i denna fråga. Genom att utveckla digitala applikationer, som lär ut programmering genom spel och pussel, hoppas man kunna inspirera barn och ungdomar att intressera sig för teknik. Syftet med detta projekt var att erbjuda ett nytt sätt att lära ut programmering på. Att skapa en applikation för kreativt skapande med kod som inte är fokuserat på spel och pussel. Genom att erbjuda en mer interaktiv och lekful miljö, jämfört med de imperativa applikationerna som finns idag, hoppas vi kunna nå ut till dem som inte vill jobba mot ett specifikt mål eller tävla mot sina kamrater. Resultatet av detta projekt blev en webb-applikation där användare kan animera bilder genom kod. Webb-applikationen är lämplig för användare som har erfarenhet av prorammering.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The decline in the number of customers in the private country club (PCC) industry in the United States is causing a reduction of revenues, which inhibits the sustainability of the clubs. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore marketing innovation strategies (MIS) that Arizona PCC managers used to attract and retain customers successfully. Relationship marketing theory was the conceptual framework; key constructs of the theory include customer loyalty, service quality, experience satisfaction, trust, and communication. The study explored successful MIS that PCC managers have used to attract and retain customers to prevent closure. Participants consisted of 1 manager from 4 different PCCs in Arizona who used MIS successfully to attract and retain customers. Data were collected from semistructured, open-ended interviews and from marketing documents and website content. Data were analyzed using a 6-phase approach to thematic analysis. The 3 primary themes that emerged included broadening the marketing message to entice people to frequent the club; creating experiences that rated high in satisfaction by members, guests, and employees; and using a variety of communication media. The results of this study may contribute to positive social change by helping PCCs to remain in operation, which could benefit local communities by providing employment opportunities at the clubs and venues for local charities to raise funds.

The aim of this paper is to examine the American movie trailer particularly its history, marketing and functions, presented as an historical overview from the serials of the early 1910s to the trailers of today. A trailer from each decade of the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries is selected which represent typical trends and shows how trailers historically functioned, including their formal, generic differences.
The introduction focuses on the market in which the trailer operates, and raises the issue of the entertainment value of art or marketing, how the film industry works and to role of advertising. The second part of the introduction focuses on the development of film stars, and their importance in trailer campaigns. This brings in the question of the growth of Hollywood and new media forms/technologies. The manner in which new media also create a new type of audience is considered, which demonstrates how the trailers capture audience attention in new ways.
The second part of the paper focuses on the history of the trailer and examines typical structures, of the different periods.
The third part analyses how different trailers operate, and how the trailer industry stands at the beginning of a new era, the so-called Post-interactive era, which is discussed with regard to Spider-Man 2 and The Da Vinci Code.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In the mid-nineteenth century, with the influx of European immigrants into the cities, public schools became the answer to the poverty and ignorance of the urban masses. Then, in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, urban public schools were again called on to educate the many African-Americans who migrated to the cities from poor Southern states. Again, the idea of mass education of the public, funded by the public, became the panacea for all the problems of city living. The civil rights movement brought a flood of litigation, and courts attempted to provide equal educational opportunities to all students, even those in poor urban localities. Currently, urban public schools face the flight of middle-income families from the cities to the suburbs, within-district flight of more affluent families to private and parochial schools, and diminishing funds with which they must serve their populations. This study explored the factors that would influence middle-income families to return or remain in urban public schools to restore the original concept of a public education for all by all (Hunter & Donahoo, 2003)Ed.

Tudor, Mark. « Are Major League Baseball Players Compensated for the Ability to Attract Fans ? » TopSCHOLAR®, 1993. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1983.
Texte intégralRésumé :
A question asked by many baseball fans during the past two decades has been, “Do baseball players really earn multimillion dollars salaries by simply playing a game?” Previous studies have attempted to show that they go generate enough revenue for a given club to justify these exorbitant earnings. In fact, these studies show that, until recently, baseball players have been exploited by owners who have been reaping major profits at the expense of the players.
Most studies utilize fan attendance to generate revenue figures in their respective regression equations. The intent in this paper is to determine if baseball players salaries are dependent solely on their ability to draw fans to their respective balls parks. Once a fan drawing power estimate is established, analysis will be made as to whether salaries are based upon this factor. Estimating the average amount fans will spend while attending games will also allow the comparison of revenue estimates with salaries. And finally, a brief investigation will determine if free agent status has any bearing on salary in conjunction with fan drawing power.
Data from the 1991 baseball season, from all twenty six major league teams, for both hitters and pitchers, are included in this study. The analysis of this data was made through the two equation model perfected by Scully in his often referenced paper of 1974, where he estimated baseball players marginal revenue products, allowing comparisons to player salaries.
The results demonstrate that in 1991 player salaries were not based solely on their ability to draw fans to the ballpark. Establishing a fan revenue figure also shows that, on average baseball players do generate enough revenue to substantiate salaries in the $2.0-$2.5 million range. Finally, utilizing a free agent attribute illustrates that simply playing baseball over six years will substantially increase salaries, regardless of the player’s status. In fact, the non-free agent players earn two and one half times less than their free agent counterparts but have the same revenue generating abilities. The final conclusions are the choice of the reader; the author has only attempted to collect the facts and present them for your review.

The key for the future of any country, firm or group lies in the talent, skills, experience, knowledge and capabilities of its people. Migration of human capital resource on an international level depicts the impact on the developing country having its highly educated individuals migrating to developed countries known as 'Brain Drain.' Therefore, evaluation of short-term and long-term talent needs and impacts on any country is critical. This paper aims to complement the existing theoretical brain drain and brain gain literature, focusing on the interaction between investment in education, training, healthcare and government to attract highly talented individuals to a developing a country. The migration study is inclusive of the analysis of the highly talented resources that have committed to or are planning to resettle in their developing native countries after investing in themselves through education. The motivational factors of these highly talented individuals are evaluated to determine key needs and drives attracting these individuals back to China from a developed country (aka. reserve migration).

Texte intégralRésumé :
In order to have a clear understanding of the topic breeding and nurturing talents, first I am going to define what breeding and nurturing talent is. The actual meaning of breeding and nurturing talents is to help a person to develop and be successful (Cambridge Dictionary).
How this whole process is going on we have to see which factor and elements are coming in the way of making the person to develop and be successful (Cambridge Dictionary). Some people are born with talent and some people become talented in the process of different techniques and methods. What are the different ways to improve the talent in humans? This is the important question, which I will explain, in my coming pages. There are few factors, which determine the talent in humans; these are habits, trainings, practices, opportunities and experiences that play a vital role in making the person successful. I tried to find out how European companies find out the most talented people from the market. I studied four big European Companies in my thesis to find out how these big European Companies attract and retain the talented people in their organizations. In relation to these four big European companies I answered several questions, which I added in my work. I have added several questions to be answered and issues to be discussed in the project literature. This topic is very common nowadays because it applies in every organization and even everywhere in this world.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In today‟s society, where knowledge workers within computer science and software development are becoming increasingly demanded by all types of companies, the competition for this kind of labour also becomes tougher. This report investigates the concept of extracting an employee value proposition that can help a company in need ofthis type of labour to become more attractive. To understand if culture has an impact onthe candidate‟s attraction, it is also investigated whether or not an employee value proposition can be adapted to fit different nationalities. Furthermore, it is explored ifdiscoveries from a company‟s organisational culture can help build a more accurateemployee value proposition.To extract an employee value proposition, the theories within the two fields of employer branding and culture are investigated and applied upon a case company. The case company is a fast-growing, multinational software company in the music business continuously in need of high qualitative knowledge workers. The attributes of a potential employee value proposition were obtained through 15 in-depth interviews with various employees within the case company. These attributes were then verified through asurvey, which also were to distinguish any cultural differences.The conclusions present an employee value proposition fitted for the case company andother companies within the same context, although without any cultural adoption. Some of the main attributes of the extracted employee value proposition were: great colleagues, challenging work tasks and good development possibilities. The two cultures identified within the case company were supposed to be different in many ways according to the theories found. Although in this case study, the two cultures did not seem to show any significant differences at an employee value proposition level. On theother hand, discrepancies were found between the internal and external employer brand and were one of the major recommendations for the case company.

Mueller, Cornelius Matthias F. « Resources and signalling to attract venture capital : university spin-outs in the UK ». Thesis, Durham University, 2010. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/297/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This study explores why some university spin-outs (USOs) are able to attract first venture capital (VC) investment. Furthermore, factors including first VC investment are associated with USO’s superior firm performance. The resource-based view (RBV) of the firm is replicated and extended with signalling theory. VC firms (supply-side seeking to reduce uncertainty and information asymmetry problems request positive ‘signals’ from entrepreneurs and firms (demand-side). Entrepreneurs can provide such ‘signals of quality’ relating to their own as well as their firms’ resources. Hypotheses were derived accordingly. This is the first nationwide study using cross-sectional data from British USOs on a firm and founder level related to attracting first VC investment and firm performance. A population of 505 British USOs founded between 1990 and 2007 that were still active in 2008 was identified. Founders of 125 USOs participated in an online survey (25% response rate). No response biases were detected. Secondary data sources provided information on financing and performance. Hypotheses were tested with regression techniques. Key findings on the attraction of first VC investment support the joint framework of the RBV of the firm and signalling theory. The most prominent signals of quality were experienced and reputable founding teams (specific human capital), network links to VC investors (networks), firm-owned IP, patented IP (intellectual capital) and founders who were professor (general human capital). USOs with public backed equity (finance) avoided an ‘equity gap’ when seeking less than £500,000 of VC. USOs with radical innovation (intellectual capital) were less likely to attract generalist VC firms. Key findings on factors related to superior firm performance suggest the importance of USO’s internal resources as implied by the RBV of the firm. Strategic alliances (networks) and USOs with VC investment reported superior firm performance. However, generalist VC firms performed better than industry specialists. VC investment reduced the direct influence of experienced and reputable founding teams (specific human capital) and founders who were professors (general human capital) related to firm performance. Former important signals to attract first VC investment such as patented IP, firm-owned IP (intellectual capital) and public backed equity investments (finance) were not related to firm performance. Best practices and recommendations on how USOs can overcome barriers to attracting first VC investment and achieve superior firm performance are made for several practitioner groups. Limitations and areas of future research are discussed.

The purpose of this multiple case study was to identify main strategies SME entrepreneurs and business leaders used to attract venture capital (VC) investments to achieve financial sustainability and business expansion. Data were collected from a purposive sample of 23 entrepreneurs and leaders from 4 SMEs in China and an analysis of organizational artifacts. The resource-based view theory served as the primary conceptual framework. The data analysis process entailed using coding techniques to identify keywords, narrative segments, and concepts. Member checking ensured the credibility and trustworthiness of the data interpretation and analysis. The process led to 4 themes including developing a unique and pioneering business model, assembling a management team with industry experience, indicating use of raised capital in investing in technology, and engaging with superior principal endorsements during the fund-raising efforts. The implication for positive social change included the potential to enhance the capability of SME entrepreneurs and business leaders to obtain VC funding to support their businesses, which can increase economic development and improve the social stability of local communities in China. The findings from the study may contribute to the development of the SME sector in China and benefit their owners, business leaders, employees, future entrepreneurs, the local community, as well as economy of China.

Texte intégralRésumé :
As a request from our supervisor, the authors were introduced to Company XY which is standing on the verge of becoming a market player. After discussion, the authors came up with the idea of how to enable the first business transaction which became the research of this study.
The purpose of this dissertation is to explore and explain how a business with no previous business transactions completed could enter a market where the competition, assumedly, are tough due to few competitors fighting for the same customers and enable customers to purchase. To be able to conduct an in-depth analysis, the research is made with a qualitative approach. Due to the amount of previous research the deductive approach is adopted.
The theoretical review ended up in the creation of the Five Stage Process which contains five stages of how to establish a relationship and in the end enable the first business transaction. To be able to determine the relevance of the process six propositions were created.
Interviews were made at the dental school of Malmö University and at the dental hygienist school at Kristianstad University. The finding from the empirical study indicates that the theoretical assumption of the Five Stage Process might be a relevant way to describe how a company without any previous business transactions completed and with few market connections enables their first business transaction.

Taskin, Celik Nehir. « Motives That Attract Parents To Send Their Children To Curriculum Laboratory Schools And Students ». Master's thesis, METU, 2005. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/2/12606299/index.pdf.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The aim of this study was to identify the reasons of parents&rsquopreferring Curriculum Laboratory Schools (CLSs) for their children&rsquo
s education and to investigate whether the students attending Curriculum Laboratory Schools are satisfied with the physical, instructional and social opportunities (services) offered at these schools. The sample of the study consisted of 440 seventh grade students and 14 parents from seven curriculum laboratory schools in the province of Ankara. Two instruments were used for data collection
interview questions for parents and a questionnaire for students. To analyze quantitative data, descriptive statistics such as frequency analyses and percentages were conducted. The open-ended questions in the parents&rsquo
interview were analyzed through content analysis. The results indicated that parents preferred these schools for several reasons including convenient location, technological opportunities, physical conditions and instructional opportunities. However, the availability of the opportunities was not as defined in the CLS model. Nevertheless, the students who were attending CLSs were moderately to highly satisfied with the services provided in the CLSs.

Texte intégralRésumé :
One of Britain’s most famous authors is Charles Dickens and his books have been read by millions of readers all over the world. Dickens wrote fourteen novels, and the one that he, upon completion, hoped was “the best story ever written” was A Tale of Two Cities. It was first published in 1859 and has sold over 200 million copies worldwide. It is also one of Dickens’ most famous novels. The story is about the two cities of London and Paris during the period when the French revolution took place. The title of the novel is very carefully chosen; it not only indicates that the story will be about two different cities but also about different types of themes. The two cities of London and Paris are described and divided just as the novel’s different themes, which is suggested already from the title. Just like he portrays the differences between London and Paris Dickens also portrays the differences between each theme and its counterpart. This essay will investigate in what way the different themes are connected to the different characters and show how the author is using his characters to play out the different themes. This essay will point out how the themes of darkness/light, love/hate and good/evil connect to the characters and to the story and also to the two cities as the title suggests.

Abell, Gregg. « Developing a community's historic resource inventory and analyzing its potential to attract heritage tourism ». Virtual Press, 2008. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1397795.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Many communities today look to Heritage Tourism as an income resource. The first step that any community must take in the development of a heritage tourism program is to compile an inventory of their heritage resources. This project is going to select a small town, develop a resource inventory, and evaluate its potential to support a heritage tourism program.' The project will concentrate on "Step One - Assess the Potential" of the "Four Steps" established by the National Trust in their booklet, Getting Started: How to Succeed in Heritage Tourism. 2 The project will also evaluate other criteria necessary to support a heritage tourist program such as, availability of over-night accommodations, restaurants, recreational activities, night life and festivals to help determine the feasibility of the chosen town's ability to develop and support a Heritage Tourism program.The National Trust 'guidelines are just that, they provide no criteria for the evaluation process and is left to the individual to formulate. This project will approach "Step One" of the Trust's guidelines and develop a rating process to assist in the evaluation of the selected town's heritage tourism potential.Department of Architecture

Bukhari, Saleh Mohammed Fadel. « Understanding the factors that attract travellers to use airline websites for purchasing air tickets ». Thesis, Brunel University, 2015. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/13825.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In order for e-commerce businesses to attract customers and consequently increase revenue, it is essential to understand the behaviour of online consumers. This involves understanding how consumers react to website elements, and what could influence the adoption of online channels. Given the applied nature of this research area, a number of studies have been carried out by marketers and information systems experts in order to develop a better understanding of consumer behaviour and web elements impact on adoption of online services. However, as web services continue to expand, so does the need for further research concentrating on specific types of products or services. Many academic articles have been published to cater for specific web portals such as retailing, banking, governmental transactions, hotel booking, and many other areas. Whilst this is the case, there remains a lack of research examining customer behaviour when using airline websites. Given the specific nature of online consumers, and the amount of business surrounding e-ticketing, it is imperative that this gap in research is addressed. Multi-faceted limitations surrounding online consumer behaviour within the airlines industry emerge from the literature. For example, the majority of previous research has relied solely upon traditional theories and as such, other important perspectives related to travel warrant investigation. Additionally, apparent links between website qualities and website adoption remain under investigated in the context of the airline industry. Another gap in research relates to the investigation of the moderating role of travellers’ characteristics such as their demographics, internet experiences, and travel habits. Based on these limitations, this research aims to develop a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary (i.e. consumer behaviour, information systems, travel and tourism) theoretical model that is capable of examining the factors that influence travellers’ online satisfaction and intention to purchase air tickets from airline websites. In developing this model, this research adopts a positivist, deductive, and quantitative approach. Thus, based on the analysis and synthesis of literature, a conceptual model comprised of nine constructs is proposed. Inspired by the Information Systems Success Model, e-satisfaction is centralised in the model and suggested as the main predictor of intention to purchase airline tickets. Information web qualities and system web qualities are considered as antecedents of e-satisfaction. The two constructs from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) are also integrated into the model. Other important factors such as e-trust, airline reputation, and price perception are also embedded. The suggested model has been validated using a measurement scale based on previously validated items. This research adopts an online survey that targets real travellers from Saudi Arabia who have used airline websites. Interviews, focus groups, and a pilot study were conducted to validate the survey items. Data collection procedures utilized the social media channels for the two operating airlines in Saudi Arabia as well as a snowball method. Data analysis techniques including exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling were used to validate the relationships and to test overarching research hypotheses. Additionally, group comparison techniques including invariance analysis were used to explore the moderation effect of demographic characteristics (i.e. gender, age, education level, monthly income, occupation, and location), internet experience, and travel habits (i.e. origin of the airline used, actual tickets purchase, travel frequency, motivation for travel, type of travel, and type of funding). The results from this research suggest that the most influential factors motivating travellers to purchase online are e-satisfaction followed by website trust. Furthermore, travellers’ perceptions of website quality also played an important role in influencing e-satisfaction. Price was the next influential factor. Several other factors appeared to have direct and indirect associations with intention to purchase and e-satisfaction. Additionally, findings emanating from group analysis suggest that some demographic factors and travel habits have a moderating influence over the research hypotheses. As such, this research makes several contributions to the consumer behaviour and web quality literature within the travel and tourism context. The findings from this research can assist airlines in shaping their web development priorities and enable them to focus on the most influential factors. This thesis concludes with a discussion of the application of these findings, an evaluation of the studies undertaken, and suggestions for future research.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Il progetto di ricerca si inserisce in un preciso solco di studi relativo al funzionamento del sistema e l’evoluzione dei ruoli del teatro italiano nel corso del XIX secolo. In particolare l’indagine è rivolta a quei ruoli che, detentori della comicità al femminile, compiono un processo che conduce dalla servetta di primo Ottocento fino alla prima attrice comica di fine secolo. La trattazione racconta la morte di un ruolo, quello della servetta legata alla drammaturgia goldoniana, e la sopravvivenza delle sue peculiarità in altri ruoli (espresse anche a livello drammaturgico) grazie all'estro delle singole interpreti; racconta della trasformazione dei tratti della comicità femminile a livello di ruoli teatrali fino alla sua consacrazione in quel ruolo codificato di prima attrice comica di fine secolo, incarnato alla perfezione da Dina Galli.
