Повний текст джерелаBackground: In resent years, the number of alliances has increased rapidly. Through collaborating with other firms, companies hope to gain certain benefits that they cannot reach on their own. However, the division of power in strategic alliances can be asymmetric, endangering the achievement of goals and objectives in the alliance for the less influential party.
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to identify success factors for companies with less influence and power than their collaboration partner/s in a strategic alliance.
Delimitation: This study concerns strategic alliances characterised by one party making an equity investment in the other party. The study is, furthermore, conducted from the perspective of the less influential party with relatively less power in the alliance.
Realisation: A case study was conducted based on six interviews and a questionnaire among employees at the mobile operator Swisscom Mobile. The company is involved in a strategic alliance with Vodafone and is part of the world leading Vodafone Group.
Results: The main findings of this thesis show that power asymmetry in an alliance originates from factors both on a dyadic level and on a network level and that these levels affect each other. Companies with a weaker power position must strive for counteracting the existing power asymmetry in order to secure their goals and objectives in the alliance. This study shows that this can be achieved through, for instance, partly having different goals than the partner/s, increasing the dependence of the partner/s on the own resources, absorbing information and know-how and learning from the partner/s, building trust in the relationship through personal contacts and safeguarding goals and objectives through a written contract and “economic hostage”.

Повний текст джерелаO objetivo desta pesquisa é compreender a dinâmica competitiva no setor elétrico brasileiro, especificamente no segmento de distribuição de energia elétrica. Buscaremos compreender como as empresas se posicionaram em seu ambiente competitivo, por meio da identificação de suas estratégias genéricas realizadas, e inferir quais destas estratégias apresentaram melhor desempenho. Esta análise foi feita tendo como base a tipologia de estratégias genéricas de Michael Porter, formando 5 grupos estratégicos. Para isto, selecionamos uma amostra de 45 distribuidoras de energia elétrica, das quais foram analisados detalhadamente, utilizando ferramentas de análise multivariada, o posicionamento estratégico e o desempenho no período de 2002 a 2004. Concluímos que a estratégia genérica de diferenciação é a que apresentou o melhor desempenho e confirmamos a hipótese de Porter que as empresas stuck in the middle apresentam o pior desempenho.
The aim of this research is to understand the competitive dynamics on the Brazilian power sector, focusing on the distribution segment. We will try to understand how distribution companies have positioned themselves on their competitive environment, by the identification of their generic strategies and analyzing which of these strategies yielded a better performance. This study was carried out utilizing Michael Porter´s generic strategies typology, used to form five strategic groups. Our sample consists of 45 power distribution companies, which we thoroughly analyzed their strategic positioning and perfomance for the years 2002 to 2004, using multivariate analysis tools. We have concluded that the generic strategy of differentiation is the one that yielded the best performance and confirmed Porter hypothesis that firms that are stuck in the middle have the worst performance.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: The electricity crisis presently affecting Africa is forcing govenments in the region to increasingly consider independent power developers as a means to help mitigate the imbalance between the demand and the supply of electricity. However, the success of this initiative will depend entirely upon governments' ability to create an environment that is conducive to developing private electricity generation plants. This paper focuses on Africa's independent power producer (IPP) market, evaluating the context in which it would develop. It also assesses how issues such as the complexity and uncertainty surrounding power purchase agreements, the current level of electricity tariffs, the incompleteness of power sector refonn as well as risk-sharing agreements between IPPs and the utilities are affecting the electricity market in the region. The analysis has broader implications for potential independent power projects as it not only questions the longterm sustainability of these but also provides strategic recommendations as to how to best maneuver in an environment fraught with major challenges.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die huidige elektrisiteitskrisis wat Suidelike-Afrika affekteer veroorsaak dat owerhede in die streek al hoe meer die moontlikheid van onafhanklike elektrisiteit produsente ondersoek om die wanbalans tussen elektrisiteit aanvraag en lewering te beperk. Die sukses van die initiatief is egter totaal afhanklik van die owerhede se vermoe om 'n omgewing te skep wat aantreklik is vir die ontwikkeling van privaat sektor kragsentrales. Hierdie verslag fokus op die Suidelike-Afrika onafhanklike elektrisiteit produsente mark, met 'n fokus op die konteks waarbinne dit moet ontwikkel. Dit ontleed verder die kompleksiteit en onsekerheid van krag aankoop kontrakte, die huidige vlakke van elektrisiteitstariewe, die tekort aan elektrisiteits sektor hervorming asook risiko-delende kontrakte tussen onafhanklike elektrisiteit produsente en nasionale elektrisiteitsverskaffers in Suidelike-Afrika. Die analise het breer implikasies vir potensiele onafhanklike elektrisiteit projekte aangesien die lang-termyn volhoubaarheid van sulke projekte bevraagteken word, maar gee ook strategiese aanbevelings oor hoe om die mark te betree met vele uitdagings.
Kopiez, Marius Lasse, and Låås Kristofer Eidner. "Strategic Battery Storage Integration into the Swedish Power Market." Thesis, KTH, Energiteknik, 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-245035.
Повний текст джерелаBattery storage is most certainly going to play a key role in a future Swedish power mix with high shares of renewable sources. To incorporate this new form of storage into comprehensive power market models it is vital to understand their operating strategy in different use cases today and in the future. Three of the most promising cases were investigated: energy arbitrage, wind battery, and residential PV-BESS. The optimal operating strategies were determined using linear programming, real-world data for the past and SWECO’s projections for the year 2040. The results were interpreted for each case separately before they were finally consolidated to evaluate their interplay. It was found that batteries are used to perform on average one full cycle per day and never more than two cycles per day. Characteristic patterns were found for each case on both a daily and seasonal resolution. By 2040 charging is going to be shifted from early morning to midday and discharging from midday to evening. The three cases were found not to exhibit common operating patterns as of today, but to develop more similar patterns in the future scenario. It was hence concluded that it will not be possible to include battery storage systems on a highly aggregated level in power market models. Instead, batteries will have to be integrated as separate units with regards to their respective operating sites and applications. For future studies, it is recommended to extend the model to include probabilistic forecasts as well as the ability to offer different services in different markets.

Повний текст джерелаEsta tese pretende identificar a relevância da economia nacional para a autonomia estratégica de um estado e, mais especificamente, responder à pergunta: em que medida a economia nacional é relevante para a autonomia estratégica de um estado? Durante a maior parte da História, a Estratégia preocupou-se com a guerra e o uso da força militar para resolver disputas interestaduais. A força militar também foi o principal instrumento com que os países poderiam expandir rapidamente a sua riqueza e protegê-la de ameaças predatórias de outros, pelo que, de certo modo, a riqueza dependia da capacidade de ganhar guerras. Mesmo quando na Era Moderna o comércio se tornou num potente instrumento para o enriquecimento rápido, como mostram as repúblicas marítimas italianas ou as subsequentes potências dominantes do comércio oriental, como Portugal, a supremacia militar, especialmente no mar, continuou a ser fundamental para adquirir e manter os monopólios comerciais que permitiam o enriquecimento desejado. Nos tempos mais recentes, a envolvente favorável às acções bélicas mudou consideravelmente. Por um lado, conquista e pilhagem deixaram de ser instrumentos a que os estados possam recorrer facilmente, pois terão pela frente toda a comunidade internacional. Por outro lado, as condições económicas evoluíram de uma maneira que permitiu aumentar rapidamente a riqueza apenas com um melhor uso dos recursos domésticos. E por fim, o potencial de destruição do mundo, resultante do armamento nuclear, juntamente com a menor vontade de lutar à medida que as sociedades se tornam mais afluentes, tornou paradoxalmente a guerra menos provável como modo de resolução de disputas internacionais. Neste novo contexto, o poder militar permanece importante e é garante da estabilidade necessária, nomeadamente para o bom funcionamento das economias. E continua sendo uma fonte determinante na formatação do poder nas relações internacionais. Mas esse poder é principalmente uma preocupação para os países que são, ou aspiram ser, potências mundiais ou regionais. Como tal, diz respeito a um pequeno número de estados. Para a maioria dos estados (incluindo potências económicas, como a Alemanha e o Japão) – que designamos por “estados comuns” por não serem ou não aspirarem a ser potências mundiais ou regionais e não terem a sua existência em risco –, e uma vez asseguradas condições de paz mundial pelas potências e pelas organizações para o efeito instituídas pela comunidade internacional, as suas aspirações – nas quais a prosperidade tem um lugar central – e os seus interesses disputam-se sobretudo no campo da economia. É nesse campo que os países se confrontam e competem entre si continuadamente. Não em confrontos diretos, como são os jogos de soma zero, mas em disputas indiretas, como se fossem corridas em que todos podem ganhar alguma coisa, ajustando as ambições às suas capacidades. Todavia, a competição económica, mesmo quando decorre em entornos cooperativos, não deixa de ser confrontadora, na medida em que os competidores disputam recursos mundiais – recursos produtivos e poder de compra – que são escassos por natureza. Só que essa disputa, mesmo sendo confrontadora, é um jogo de soma positiva, na medida em que o seu resultado amplia o conjunto dos recursos que disputa. Desta forma, a economia tornou-se um teatro estratégico relevante. É, pois, essa realidade que as teorias da estratégia devem reconhecer e incorporar, e é para isso que esta tese pretende contribuir. A autonomia estratégica é uma condição fundamental para as opções estratégicas na ação dos estados. Muito se fala dela em vários quadrantes políticos – nomeadamente em França, nas instâncias da União Europeia e na India –, mas o termo nunca foi bem definido. Nos documentos europeus, subentende-se que a autonomia pretendida, sobretudo no caso francês, é em relação aos Estados Unidos (o que não é partilhado por muitos outros estados, incluindo a Alemanha). E na Índia, a autonomia estratégica é uma adaptação do conceito de nãoalinhamento, usado durante a Guerra Fria, ao contexto subsequente ao seu fim. Neste caso, e para além da autossuficiência militar, o conceito de autonomia passou a estender-se também explicitamente ao campo económico.Sendo uma parte essencial do objeto da pesquisa, foi necessário avançar com uma definição clara e operacional do conceito, não apenas para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, mas também para usos futuros. Uma definição que tivesse em conta os instrumentos de poder ao alcance do estado, a estrutura do sistema internacional e as circunstâncias históricas. Para esse efeito, e para orientar a procura da resposta à pergunta de pesquisa, foi desenvolvido um quadro analítico, assumindo que uma (grande) estratégia nacional, englobando todos os recursos do país e coordenando todas as políticas nacionais, é um instrumento estratégico fundamental de boa governação do estado. E para a eficaz afirmação do estado na esfera internacional, assim como para a promoção dos interesses fundamentais do país. Instrumento que terá que ter uma natureza determinada, mas dinâmica, ancorada num propósito claro que assegure o rumo, mas flexível o suficiente para atender aos desafios, muitas vezes inesperados, que o correr do tempo e a mudança de circunstâncias hão-de ir opondo no seu caminho. Sem um tal instrumento, o estado não terá um rumo definido e limitar-se-á a navegar as circunstâncias procurando delas tirar o melhor partido, mas sem a orientação necessária para atender rápida e eficazmente à mudança da sorte circunstancial e sem perder o sentido do caminho. E porque a incerteza é o que de mais certo e permanente se tem no caminho do porvir, a autonomia estratégica – a margem de manobra para escolher meios e destinos possíveis – torna-se na melhor salvaguarda para lidar com as surpresas estratégicas que o futuro inevitavelmente colocará no caminho estratégico do estado. E por isso, uma boa estratégia nacional deve sempre conter, juntamente com os objetivos finais que pretenda atingir, o objetivo instrumental de preservação e ampliação da autonomia estratégica do país. A autonomia estratégica depende dos instrumentos de poder de que o estado disponha ou a que possa recorrer e também da eficácia e eficiência de cada um desses instrumentos nas circunstâncias concretas em que o seu uso seja necessário. Isto porque certos instrumentos de poder são mais eficazes numas circunstâncias do que noutras, pelo que, por exemplo, uma potência económica pode, em tempo de paz, ter mais autonomia estratégica do que uma potência militar. O poder económico é, pois, um dos instrumentos que pode proporcionar autonomia estratégica e em graus variados, consoante as circunstâncias, e é aquele sobre o qual esta pesquisa se debruça, como resulta claro do seu objeto. Como fatores mais relevantes para a construção do poder económico de um país e, por conseguinte, para a sua autonomia estratégica, foram destacados a dimensão da economia, a inserção nas redes mundiais de comércio, de conhecimento e de tecnologia, a capacidade tecnológica, a poupança, a riqueza e a parcimónia no recurso a fontes externas de financiamento. A dimensão económica, em si, tem reduzida relevância estratégica se não for suscetível de poder variar em resultado de acções deliberadas dos decisores estratégicos dirigidas a esse objetivo. Assim, e relativamente a esta componente, o que se torna estrategicamente relevante são os fatores suscetíveis daquelas acções. O que não é (ou só o é em níveis muito limitados) o caso da população, que sendo uma âncora importante tem um reduzido potencial dinâmico. Mas é o caso do capital físico – dependente de investimento – e humano – dependente da formação – e da eficiência económica – dependente da organização no uso daqueles fatores e que se reflete na sua produtividade. O comércio com o exterior oferece aos países a oportunidade de expandir o seu potencial económico, proporcionando um mercado de dimensão mundial e dessa forma permite à economia especializar-se em segmentos nos quais possa ser mais eficiente ou desfrutar de vantagens particulares e, portanto, expandir o seu tamanho económico para além do que o limitado mercado doméstico poderia proporcionar. A tecnologia, sobretudo se dominada nas áreas de ponta, também é um gerador e um diferenciador de poder, do mesmo modo que o seu não comando acarreta dependências limitadoras da autonomia. E a poupança é crucial para a acumulação de riqueza, que é, em si mesmo, uma fonte de poder que permite realizar, influenciar, pressionar e coagir, ao mesmo tempo que permite preservar o controlo nacional das economias nacionais. Controlo sem o qual a economia se torna dependente de centros estratégicos alheios, quando não adversos, aos interesses do país. No entanto, há que ter em conta, que os processos de integração em cadeias globais, de comércio, tecnologia e finanças, ao mesmo tempo que criam oportunidades de expansão da autonomia estratégica, também podem criar dependências que, se não forem devidamente controladas, se podem tornar muito limitadoras da autonomia estratégica dos estados. Finalmente, para que o poder económico gerado pela sua economia, mas disperso por vários agentes independentes na sua propriedade e controlo, seja plenamente potenciado na autonomia estratégica do Estado, é necessário que o governo e a sociedade consigam articular os seus interesses e compartilhar uma visão comum. do papel do país no mundo. A China e a Alemanha representam dois casos paradigmáticos que validam as considerações teóricas avançadas pela tese.
The aim of this thesis is to identify the relevance of the national economy to the strategic autonomy of a state and, more specifically, to answer the question: To what extent is the national economy relevant to a state’s strategic autonomy? For most of History, strategy has been concerned with war and the use of military force to solve interstate disputes. Military force was also the main instrument by which countries could rapidly expand their wealth or protect it from predatory threats from others. In recent times, this underlying environment has changed considerably. Economic conditions have evolved in a way that has allowed wealth quickly to increase just by making better use of domestic resources, and war has become less and less seen as a way to solve international disputes. In this new context, it is essential to recognize the economy as a relevant strategic theater where countries confront and compete with each other on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, the economy is the theater where most states – not risking their existence or aspiring to become world or regional powers – can act strategically. Therefore, theories of strategy must acknowledge and incorporate this new reality, and it is to this area of research that the thesis intends to contribute.Strategic autonomy is a fundamental condition for the strategic options in the action of states. Much talked about in various political quarters, no one has managed to define the term well. Being an essential part of the research object, a clear and operational definition is therefore necessary, not only for the development of this research, but also for future uses by researchers and analysts. With the economy recognized as a relevant strategic theater and with a definition of strategic autonomy, the path was opened to seek the answer to the research question into the realm of the economy. The size of a state’s economy is a primary source of its economic power and this power is a source of strategic autonomy. Population size is both an anchor and a relevant scale variable, but its dynamic potential is limited. On the other hand, capital accumulation – physical and human, tangible and intangible –, together with the efficiency of its use, has far greater potential to change dynamically the size of an economy. Trade offers states an opportunity to expand their economic potential, providing the national economy with a world market and allowing it to specialize in segments where it can be more efficient or enjoy particular advantages. And, therefore, trade is the means to expand the economic size of the country beyond that which its limited domestic market could allow. Technology can also be a generator of state power, providing opportunities to seize competitive advantage, both directly in the economy and indirectly on other fronts of power. Savings are crucial to building wealth, offering the power to realize, influence, pressure, and coerce, while also ensuring the nation is able to preserve control of its economy. Finally, in order for the economic power generated by a country’s economy to be fully projected in the strategic autonomy of the state – not forgetting how ownership and control is dispersed among several independent agents – it is necessary to share a common vision of the country’s role in the world. This involves government, society in general, and its economic elite in particular being able to align private interest with the common interest of the country. China and Germany provide two paradigmatic cases that validate the theoretical considerations advanced by this thesis.

The purpose of this study is to develop a strategy for investment in power generation technologies in the future given the uncertainties in climate policy and fuel prices. First, such studies are commonly conducted using deterministic methods which assume a given likelihood of the carbon and gas price levels. In this study a probabilistic approach is used to address these uncertainties. Secondly, capacity expansion models conventionally apply average estimates to predict the amount of power that each generator will produce based on the technology chosen. I propose an alternate method which determines the actual generation hour-by-hour of a generator. Using this method, I also capture the variability of wind generation across the year. To accomplish this goal, I used the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) as a case study. I investigated the effect of different scenarios of generation technology investments projected over a period of twenty years. I conducted two sets of analysis; first assuming that Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies will be available after 2020, then assuming that they will not. Using a dispatch model, I simulated the hours of a load duration curve for 2020 and 2030. In the first period 2010-2020, I assumed the price of carbon to either be $0 or $50/ton CO2. In the second period, I take the carbon price to be at either a low of $25/ton of CO2 or a high of $100/ton of CO2 . The price of natural gas used was either a high of $15/MMBtu or a low of $3/MMBtu in both periods. Using a Monte Carlo, I sample the wind generation based on the season and the time of day. The system costs with the new investment scenarios were then evaluated in a decision tree to establish the socially optimal solution. I find that the optimal strategy to be taken today depends on the availability of CCS technologies in 2030. Assuming that there is CCS in 2030, the more dominant strategy would be to build natural gas generators today. If we assume that there is no CCS in 2030, the strategy would depend on the probabilities of the levels of gas and carbon prices in 2020.

The naval warfare environment is rapidly changing. The U.S. Navy is adapting by continuing its blue-water dominance while simultaneously building brown-water capabilities. Unmanned systems, such as unmanned airborne drones, are proving pivotal in facing new battlefield challenges. Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) are emerging as the Navy's seaborne equivalent of the Air Force's drones. Representing a low-end disruptive technology relative to traditional shipborne operations, UUVs are becoming capable of taking on increasingly complex roles, tipping the scales of battlefield entropy. They improve mission outcomes and operate for a fraction of the cost of traditional operations. Furthermore, long-term underwater power sources at currently under development at MIT will extend UUV range and operational endurance by an order of magnitude. Installing these systems will not only allow UUVs to complete new, previously impossible missions, but will also radically decrease costs. I explore the financial and strategic implications of UUVs and long-term underwater power sources to the Navy and its future operations. By examining current naval operations and the ways in which UUVs could complement or replace divers and ships, I identify ways to use UUV technology to reduce risk to human life, decrease costs, and leverage the technology learning curve. I conclude that significant cost savings are immediately available with the widespread use of UUVs, and current research investment levels are inadequate in comparison with the risks and rewards of UUV programs.

The Japanese electric power industry is undergoing drastic reform since a devastating earthquake struck Japan on March 11, 2011. This disaster triggered a tsunami, which caused major damage to the nuclear power plants in Fukushima and led to the shutdown of all the nuclear power plants in the country. This incident facilitated deregulation of the Japanese electric power industry. Japan's electricity retail market became fully liberalized in 2016 and vertically integrated electric utilities are required to unbundle their organization by 2020 under the law. Furthermore, we are seeing external drivers reshaping this industry that were not concerns decades ago. This ever-evolving environment is pushing Japanese electric utilities to urgently change their traditional business model in order to outpace the competition while maintaining an affordable and reliable supply of electricity. This thesis discusses dynamics that will be shaping this industry in the next few decades by focusing on electric utility companies' perspective. In this regard, I identified drivers impacting the industry and developed a system dynamics model to understand the dynamics. After running simulations to see how those drivers identified would impact the future business of electric utility companies in Japan, it can be concluded that if electric utilities do not respond strategically in today's rapidly evolving business environment, the reserve margin will go below the required level starting in 2025 and they will decline by losing more than half of their existing customers by 2040. And the most effective approach to prevent themselves from taking this path is to focus on creation of new energy technologies and services based on research and development. The conclusion drawn from this thesis requires Japanese electric utilities not only to focus on building a risk-taking and innovative culture in their organization but also to collaborate with their stakeholders as necessary to create a sustainable business environment for the industry as a whole. To achieve this, it is imperative for the management of electric utilities to have a notion of stepping up and driving the industry instead of being driven by their environment.

Повний текст джерелаA ferramenta Planejamento Estratégico está fartamente difundida na gestão dos mais variados tipos de organizações, sendo estas privadas ou públicas. Porém, a sua segunda fase, a implementação,não tem obtido o êxito esperado; e, como afirma Kaplan e Norton (2001), apenas 10% das estratégias formuladas são implementadas com êxito, o que torna evidente que o grande gargalo do Planejamento Estratégico encontra-se em sua fase de implementação. Esta ferramenta é, por essência, um processo de mudança e assim deve ser tratada, pois poderá acarretar necessidades de mudanças na estrutura organizacional, em processos internos, na forma de condução das relações interpessoais formais e informais na organização. Em função dessas possíveis mudanças, para iniciar um processo de planejamento estratégico, será necessário uma boa formulação das estratégias e uma implementação estratégica eficaz, de forma a reverter o quadro apresentado por Kaplan e Norton. Cientes desta realidade, e como forma de fortalecer a implementação do Planejamento Estratégico, deve-se levar em consideração os aspectos relacionados a relações de poder nas organizações, cultura organizacional e avaliação organizacional, pois, da mesma forma que esses aspectos são influenciados pelo processo de mudanças, eles influenciam nas decisões estratégicas. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar e descrever os aspectos que envolvem as relações de poder e que influenciam a implementação do Planejamento Estratégico. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto utilizou-se a metodologia de estudo de caso, de natureza qualitativa e caráter exploratório e descritivo. A partir dos dados bibliográficos encontrados, foi desenvolvido um modelo de diagnóstico das relações de poder nas organizações composto de quatro dimensões: poder contextual, poder pessoal, gerenciamento e liderança. Para testar o modelo, foi aplicada uma entrevista semi-estruturada junto a quatro pró-reitores e cinco diretores de unidades de ensino da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Coletados e analisados os dados, os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que os aspectos relativos às relações de poder constituem uma importante variável de estudo quando se pretende implementar um processo de mudança como o planejamento estratégico de forma exitosa. O modelo demonstrou o quanto a unidade estudada encontra-se mais voltada ao poder de posição e ao gerenciamento burocrático.
