This book was released on 2002-03-08 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2000 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: good (2,0), Ruhr-University of Bochum (VWA Lippstadt), language: English, abstract: There is almost no day passing without any news about mergers, acquisitions or cooperations between two or more companies. In most cases, one of the major motivations is the recognition of cost reduction potentials to stabilize profits. Daimler-Benz and Chrysler, since early 1999 known as DaimlerChrysler, merged their R & D and sourcing activities to achieve economies of scale. But for what reason do they have to stabilize profits? Because they live in a world of decreasing margins and stagnating sales. It is evident that despite their high volumes the markets of the industrialized countries are almost satisfied and lack appreciable growth rates. Product life cycles (PLCs) become gradually shorter, reducing the profit periods of products. Moreover, these markets are mostly dominated by a destructive price competition so that often companies are forced to offer at almost dumping prices in order to survive. The big German mineral oil enterprises recently claimed that the introduction of Dea′s payback card to bind their customers via a one-pfennig (!) patronage refund per consumed liter had been, in their opinion, responsible for a follow-up ruinous price "battle". At the same time, they were all fighting together against the private brands. Shortly afterwards, it was the food trade battling, which had been instigated by Wal Mart′s dumping-price policy with basic foodstuff. And this development will continue. Therefore, companies more and more initiate activities to conquer foreign markets, with many of them evading to less developed countries. This apparent contradiction turns out to be a logical step of enlarging upon business activities because many of these countries are on the threshold of becoming industrialized and consequently, they reveal huge potentials of unsatisfied demands, which, up to that point, remained unattended. Hence, even small and medium-sized enterprises turn "international", seeking advantages in distribution and sourcing as well.
Download or read book Market Entry Strategies written by Mario Glowik and published by De Gruyter Oldenbourg. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first part of the book introduces relevant theories of internationalization. In addition to traditional concepts of internationalization (e.g., the product life-cycle approach of Vernon, the Uppsala model, and Porter's diamond approach), particular attention is paid to the more modern network approaches of internationalization (e.g., systems, new venture/born global, and entrepreneur concepts). In the second part, alternatives for international market entry (e.g., exports, franchising, joint ventures, contract manufacturing, and foreign direct investments) are explained. These market entry modes are categorized according to decision determinants, such as hierarchical control, proximity to the market, risk of investment, and the factor of time, which are important from the point of view of the corporate management involved in international business. The empirical part of this publication, which is the result of a longitudional study, consists of case studies of Asian firms doing business in the consumer electronics industry. The cases of Samsung, Sony, Sharp, Matsushita (Panasonic), LG Electronics, and TCL China provide fundamental insights into the firms' organizational structures, corporate cultures, respective sales volume, and earnings performance as well as strategic concepts for their market penetration in Europe. A main emphasis is placed on an understanding of internal firm networks (e.g., diversified business fields and vertical production depth) and external firm networks (e.g., joint ventures, supplier and buyer clusters as well as mutual capital interests). From the author's view, these network grids fundamentally contribute to the fact that Asian firms have more successfully positioned themselves in the market within the last two decades compared to their European competitors in the television set industry (e.g. Grundig, Thomson, or Philips). The networking aims and success factors as well as the changing strategic influence over the years of the partner firms both in bilateral Japanese joint ventures and in European-Asian joint ventures are examined. The book provides complex background information about the development of the European television set market. The analysis demonstrates that firms holding the position of technological market leaders in their segment simultaneously indicate the most intensive network activities. The further development of the network theory and the detailed and up-to-date case studies of the most important Asian enterprises in the consumer electronics industry contribute to the value of this publication. Furthermore, on the basis of the knowledge gained from this study, chances and risk potentials can be derived for other European industries (e.g., automotive). The book, written in English, is suitable for internationally oriented bachelor's, master's and MBA programs. Additionally, against the background of worldwide competition, the publication at hand offers relevant industry insights for interested political and economic decision makers.

Download or read book The Great British Manufacturing written by Salma Alguezaui and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present case study underlines the importance of adaptation to face the challenges posed by the globalization of competition in the contract manufacturing sector in the United Kingdom (UK). The case study describes how the Tharsus Group - a British Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) located in the northeast of the United Kingdom - has overcome the challenges posed by globalization by migrating from a traditional contract manufacturing model to an advanced service provider, namely Original Equipment Design and Manufacturing (OEDM). This strategic move has helped this company not only to save its business in a turbulent environment but also to create a sustainable competitive advantage. This case study shows how manufacturing companies are implementing the concept of servitization in order to streamline their supply chain and to enhance the value of their offer. It also emphasizes the importance of collaborative product development, which the Tharsus Group has implemented with its client firms. Finally, the case study discusses the results achieved by the Tharsus Group following this strategic change. The case study is interesting for manufacturing firms that are located in developed countries; though an open question still needs further exploration: is the OEDM a sustainable model over the long term?

Download or read book Digital and Social Media Marketing written by Nripendra P. Rana and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines issues and implications of digital and social media marketing for emerging markets. These markets necessitate substantial adaptations of developed theories and approaches employed in the Western world. The book investigates problems specific to emerging markets, while identifying new theoretical constructs and practical applications of digital marketing. It addresses topics such as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), demographic differences in digital marketing, mobile marketing, search engine advertising, among others. A radical increase in both temporal and geographical reach is empowering consumers to exert influence on brands, products, and services. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and digital media are having a significant impact on the way people communicate and fulfil their socio-economic, emotional and material needs. These technologies are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing digital marketing practices. This book considers this, as it examines the practice and research related to digital and social media marketing.

Download or read book Strategic Management and the Circular Economy written by Marcello Tonelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the Circular Economy (CE) has gained worldwide attention as an effective alternative economic system to the current take-make-waste model of production and consumption. As more and more firms begin to recognize the potential of this novel approach, the CE quickly moves from theory to practice and the demand for a coherent and structured strategic approach – one that companies can rely upon when commencing their circular journey – grows accordingly. Strategic Management and the Circular Economy aims to bridge the theory-practice gap by putting forward a detailed step-by-step process for analysis, formulation, and planning of CE strategies. Starting from a solid framework of easy-to-grasp constructs (key principles, business objectives and areas of intervention), the authors guide the reader through an understanding of how conventional tools for strategic management can be re-programed under a CE perspective. To assist learning and encourage circular thinking, the reader is constantly prompted with examples of how forward-looking companies across industries and geographies are already applying circular strategies to future-proof their operations, boost innovation, penetrate new markets and secure customer loyalty.
