Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: This thesis with the topic is about Geomarketing theory and its approach in the automotive industry, more specifically surveyed on one explicit example of Porsche. The automotive industry is experiencing a development from a sellers' market to a buyers' market, as evident in the marginal increase of registration figures in recent years and in the additional price pressure on the car market. Equivalently, the increasing degree of individualization in society and thus the differentiation of demand, is leading to a breakdown of markets into smaller market segments to which the car manufacturers have to deal with. This prevailing pressure also affects the management level and causes the need to make the right decisions and avoid failures. Analogue to these developments two trends in marketing have gained significance in recent decades. On the one hand, the increasing data and information sets, which allow improved screening of the market, have gained importance. On the other hand, there is the technological development that enables assimilating large amounts of internal and external data on the basis of spatial structures. As a result of this development, the instrument Geomarketing has been established. This thesis deals with the elaborate assessment of the application of Geomarketing within location as well as branch network planning and practice. More specifically, this thesis handles the approach of the car manufacturer Porsche AG. The overall aim of the paper is to explain the role of Geomarketing for strategic planning processes in an automotive company with special focus on location and branch network decisions. The aim also is to find out how far Geomarketing causes benefits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examination Thesis from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 78, University of Leeds (Trinity and All Saints College), course: Adnaced Marketing, language: English, abstract: At the heart of the traditional approach to business strategy lies the assumption that by applying a set of analytical tools, executives can predict the future of any business accurately enough to allow them to choose a clear strategic direction. However, what happens when the environment is so uncertain as is more and more the case today in our fast-paced society that no amount of backward-oriented amount of data and analysis will allow business leaders to predict the future. One approach that has been applied successfully more frequently over the last couple of years is future scenario planning, where different business environment scenarios are imagined, developed and possible business stratgies planned out by internal and external experts. In this paper firstly a thourough competitive analysis of the German beer market as well as the company under study - Karlsberg Brauerei, a local South-West German brewery - is performed. Then, two distinct future scenarios are being developed from the data and analysis. These future business scenarios are followed by detailed strategic plans that recommend different ways the company can move to take advantage of future developments in its market.
