Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Leadership and Human Resource Management - Miscellaneous, grade: 80% (1,0), University of Exeter (Business School), language: English, abstract: 1. IntroductionThe process of globalisation of business stimulates the mobility of employees and necessitates the Human Resource Management of multinational corporations (MNC) to deal with given cultural conditions of particular countries in order to assess and evaluate their characteristics and value systems. On this basis, a common value orientated corporate culture might be developed which gives an MNC orientation and hence the basis for business success (IBM, 2011). In principle, political and economic characteristics across the globe are structured in terms of the Anglo-American and Rhineland capitalism (Michel Albert, 1991). Cultural differences can be measured on a global, regional, national and organisational level (Edwards and Ress, 2006) and can be distinguished in 'Linear-Active-Multi-Active' societies such as e.g. Latin America that is flexible in terms of management rules and 'Dialogue-Orientated-Data-Orientated societies' such as e.g. Germany that is more linear orientated focusing on e.g. punctuality (Lewis, 1999). Mostly, the cause for failure in cross-cultural businesses is not the dissimilarity of partners but the lacking understanding for the adverse culture (Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner, 1997). The greater the cultural distance however, the more there is a need for parent country national control. Therefore, relevant actions of the International Human Resource Management (IHRM) include having the awareness and knowledge of the diverse cultural differences, supporting assignees in this sense and analysing the difficulties of intercultural interaction within the corporation in order to minimize barriers to collaboration (Holtbrügge, 2008).The subsequent study will critically look into the subject of the IHRM with focus on expatriate adjustment. Beginning with an explanation of the basics and major reasons of expatriate adjustment, the study analyses the cultural dimensions that might influence this challenge. Subsequently the study discusses the actions of the IHRM concerning deployment and suggests measures how expatriate adjustment in MNCs might be facilitated. 20 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 84 % (1,0), University of Exeter (Business School), language: English, abstract: 1. IntroductionNintendo, the Japanese video game console manufacturing company, is one of the big players in the respective industry along with Sony and Microsoft. In 2006, when the competitors were following the industry norm to improve the product features, Nintendo followed a disruptive route to target a new market with a new product that none of the competitors had: the Wii.The following report strives to present a comprehensive strategic analysis of Nintendo for the executive board. Beginning with an analysis of Nintendo's current strategy, the report evaluates the strategy in terms of its fit with the environment. Finally, the report presents some recommendations and implementation issues that the board needs to consider while making its decision.2. Strategy AnalysisThe strategic analysis of Nintendo has been conducted at the corporate level along with the Blue Ocean Strategy that played a key role in the formulation of its disruptive strategy.2.1 Corporate Level StrategyAt the corporate level, Nintendo is following an Innovation Strategy that has played an important role in building its competitive advantage. Figure 1 shows an analysis of Nintendo's innovation strategy through the framework of the Innovation Dilemma (Johnson et al., 2008). The analysis of Nintendo's innovation strategy indicates that it used an innovative business model i.e. to position itself completely different from its competitors andquestioned how people actually want to play through its in depth customer understanding (Pontiskoski and Asakawa, 2009). Secondly, Nintendo used a technological push i.e. to target an untapped or incomplete market of gamers, as it had to convince the non-gamer adult to play on a Nintendo platform. Through its largest advertising campaign in its history, with costs over $200 million (Sliwinski, 2006), the company offered family-friendly and easy-to-use motion sensor technology.Thirdly, product innovation i.e. introduction of the Wii-mote and an infrared pointer was regarded as innovative product design (Farhoomand, 2009). 24 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 76 % (1,0), University of Exeter (Business School), language: English, abstract: 1. IntroductionConsumers consider automobiles like the Mini not only as a means of conveyance but also express their attitudes towards life. The Mini fascinates people due to its outstanding design and image and touches its owners in an emotional way expressed through the brand's slogan characterized with an 'emotional modifier' (Keller, 2008): Mini 'Is it love ' (Automotive Intelligence, 2001). Successful automobile manufacturers realized that cars are not only purchased due to rational reasons but that it highly depends on its design, equipment and image. Due to the importance of the customer perception to a brand and also due to an increasing product portfolio, the goal of car makers is to differentiate their brand from competition by building a strong and unique image (Meffert et al., 2008).The goal of the subsequent paper is to analyse how BMW managed the Mini's brand significant revival. Beginning with a description of the brand and its related attributes, the paper analyses the Mini's brand performance in the last five years and its positioning related to its main competitors. Furthermore, it explains the brand's performance by analysing its customer perceptions and gives some recommendation how to capture and manage future opportunities and challenges.2. Description of the brand Mini and its attributesDue to the closure of the Suez Canal and its combined oil crisis the engineer and designer Alec Issigonis received the mission from the British Leyland Motor Corporation to design a fuel-efficient car. During the 1960's the Mini's brand gained an image of cult and lifestyle however, the car was accident-sensitive and sales figures dropped significantly which is why the BMW Group overtook the Mini brand in 1994 (Bessing et al., 2006). BMW created a high-quality product which is well-known and well ranked in consumer reports. The Mini's pricing starts at EUR15.550 for the Mini One, EUR23.650 for the Mini Cooper S, EUR18.600 for the Mini Clubman and the Cabriolets' prices start at EUR20.950 (Geiger, 2010). The Mini is thus more expensive than its competitors like e.g. the VW Polo whose price starts at EUR 12.275 and ends at EUR 20.900 for the CrossPolo (Volkswagen AG, 2011). The core brand attributes of the Mini. 24 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Ethics, Corporate Ethics, grade: 78 % (1,0), University of Exeter (Business School), course: Strategy/Operations, language: English, abstract: 1. Introduction'Ethics are in vogue' is an assertion drawn after the International Herald Tribune (IHT) conference on luxury (Smale, 2007). The reason for this statement is the presumption of an emergent type of luxury consumer whose purchase decision is up to the ethical behaviour of business. Is this concept mere wishful thinking or does it reflect empirical reality, since the latter would void the expression 'the devil wears Prada'. It is obvious, that the conventional way of economic development not any longer satisfies the needs of the world in which we live - 'the environment is, without doubt, one area which is being subjected to greater public scrutiny' (Dembkowski and Hanmer-Llyod, 1994). Society increasingly requires a healthy living, innovative, efficient and safe technologies as well as a 'stable and safe' natural and social environment (Jochem 2011). The media especially reports on ethical and sustainable business conduct and its affects on 'human health, the ecosystem and future generations' (Bonacchi and Rinaldi, 2006).Simultaneously to the increasing requirements of ethical and sustainable business conduct, the luxury fur demand is substantially growing. From US $ 456.99 million in 2001, the world fur outlook estimates an increase in sales up to US $ 854.13 million in 2011 (Parker, 2005) - fur auction houses sell 'record-breaking' numbers. Fur re-emerges as a fashionable design material; especially younger designers are 'fascinated with fur and use it in innovative ways' (Foreman, 2010). The material has also trickled down to the streets - the younger generation demands it more than ever; even child fashion designers use it for their collections (Vulsier, 2010).The inherent question from these insights is whether both developments, namely an increasing requirement of sustainable and ethical business conduct as well as a growing fur fashion demand, are in line or in contrast to each other. Thus, is a fur producer ethical and sustainable The author aims to gain knowledge whether a fur business responds to these external societal requirements regarding ethics and sustainability and whether ethical and sustainable or unethical and insustainable business conduct implicates advantages or disadvantages.This study will examine the topics ethics and sustainability within a fur business. The research will examine the supply chain sustainability performance and ethicality of a fur producer and trader from a business and consumer perspective. 104 pp. Englisch.
