Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: A (ECTS Credits) , VG (Schwed.), Mälardalen University (Department of Business Studies and Informatics), course: Scientific Method and Undergraduate Thesis in Business Administration, language: English, abstract: In today’s world, companies are part of a complex environment, and to cope with uncertainty is the main problem of strategic management. At the latest with the change from seller to buyer market in the 70s, companies cannot see themselves apart from their surroundings, and no company exists in isolation. A world has emerged in which converging technologies and markets, swirling competition, and innovation can outdate established industry structures overnight. In the past, the world of business was neatly divided into primary, secondary and third sectors while today, the third sector cannot be seen apart from the others. Service becomes more important as time perceives. This orientation leads companies into the understanding that interdependencies with their customers determine the organisation, in which resources, activities and actors are linked to each other. The focus on customers grants at least some stability in the fast changing environment of companies. However, the customers react to environmental changes and put challenging demands on their suppliers. Especially new information technology is a driving force for relationships but asks for the demanding task to contribute information on multiple channels at the same time. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) notes, “the online channel has a profound influence on consumer’s behaviour”. Especially the internet has revolutionized customer relationships and “the revolution is far from over”. Businesses have become more multifaceted through the developments in the information and communications technology – the internet, mobility and multimedia. Many authors see a digital revolution taking place today and stress that this is a driving force behind many changes in companies. Businesses cannot afford to ignore digital influences and have to make it a leading priority during the next half-decade. Therefore the terminology “Multichannel” seems to be “one of the hottest topics in Europe” where different alternatives of channels should lead to a cohesive whole. When the “digital revolution” is considered in the strategy of companies, planning tools of the past decades seem not sufficient, and even misleading. While changes in the technology are certain, their exact form is unclear. In those dynamic conditions, managers need to consider the environment of the future, not just of the past and the emphasis for planners should change from forecasting to foresight.

Book excerpt: In today's maturing consumer markets, emphasis is shifting from straightforward sales to a more holistic approach to customer life cycle management, with a stronger emphasis on how sales are generated and service provided all along the customer journey. Effectively managing these different marketing, sales and service channels poses a signifi cant challenge. Companies need new strategies, structures, processes and tools to deliver customer value across all channels. A multi-channel, integrative customer model that delivers customer value and significant return on investment (ROI) requires both a strong understanding of customer preferences and behaviours and a robust IT architecture that supports the overarching customer relationship management (CRM) strategy. Even those organizations that have embraced the need for sophisticated multi-channel orchestration often still fall short in their execution. We offer strategic guidelines in four areas to ensure success with multi-channel orchestration. First, marketing operations need to explicitly define a channel strategy with respect to customer segmentation, the channel journey (how and where sales and services are delivered) and targeted incentives that reward multi-channel sales and service support. Secondly, marketers need to optimize the online channel, which is fast becoming the primary platform for accessing product and service information, and completing an ever-growing number of transactions. It is also the entry hub to other touch points; customers go online to contact the company or to fi nd store locations or telephone numbers. Thirdly, companies need to build an IT foundation that underpins their CRM strategy. This CRM IT architecture needs to enable the transformation from vertical, single-channel operations to true horizontal business processes that deliver cross-channel integration. Fourthly, marketers can learn by example. Companies across the consumer products spectrum are experimenting with the multi-channel experience. Marketers should broadly consider the best practices that they could adapt to their own industry.

Introduces an organizing framework of pull and push marketing for how suppliers work together with their channel partners. Integrates across physical and digital, independent and company-owned, routes to market. Maps the functions of traditional and newer intermediaries in the channel ecosystem and identifies the root causes of conflict between them. Provides tools and frameworks for how much distribution coverage is required and where. Shows how product line, pricing, trade promotions, and other channel incentives can help to coordinate multiple channels and manage conflict. Illustrates how push and pull metrics can be combined into valuable dashboards for identifying positive feedback opportunities and sustaining the channel partnership. With the help of Getting Multi-Channel Distribution Right you’ll discover how to successfully develop, execute, and adapt distribution strategy to the evolving marketplace.

The customs, the requirements and the work of the first groups are compared with those of today, and both the similarities and the differences of each era reveal the continuity and adaptability of the orders.

Download or read book Monks and Monasteries of the Near East written by Jules Leroy and published by Gorgias PressLlc. This book was released on 2004 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jules Leroy, the French art expert, spent several months touring the Near East in search of Early Christian remains. During this time he visited most of the monasteries in Egypt, Syria, the Lebanon, Palestine, and Iraq, some of them in ruins, some of them still flourishing. He has written a vivid account of his impressions of these monasteries and of the reception he got from the monks in them. Not all the places he visited were Christian, for he describes visits to the Moslem Bektashis in Cairo, the dervishes at Tripoli, and the Yezidi devil-worshippers in the mountains of Iraq." "But his book is not just another travel account. Monsieur Leroy makes it a comprehensive study of monasticism, of ascetism in its many forms, like the Stylites and the hermits, of the dissemination of Christianity, and of the history of Near Eastern religious foundations in the area. The text is illustrated with about a hundred black-and-white photographs, together with maps and plans."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
