Revenue Management beschaftigt sich mit der Optimierung von Kapazitats- und Preisentscheidungen beim Verkauf von verderblichen Gutern und Dienstleistungen, die innerhalb eines vorgegebenen Zeitraumes angeboten werden. Die Arbeit untersucht Verallgemeinerungen des Airline Revenue Managements, also Fluge, die innerhalb eines Flugnetzes durchgefuhrt werden. In einem ersten Schritt wird dazu ein Modell entwickelt, das neben UEberbuchungsuberlegungen flexible Kunden betrachtet. In einem zweiten Schritt wird dieses Modell um die Zuordnung von Flugzeugtypen zu angebotenen Flugen mit der Option eines Re-Fleetings erweitert. Dazu werden deterministische lineare Programme (DLP) entsprechend angepasst. Die DLP-Modelle werden in verschiedenen Flugnetzen getestet, sowie deren Charakteristika verglichen.

The branding bible for today's globalized world Today, brands have become even more important than the products they represent: their stories travel with lightning speed through social media and the Internet and across countries and diverse cultures. A brand must be elastic enough to allow for reasonable category and product-line extensions, flexible enough to change with dynamic market conditions, consistent enough so that consumers who travel physically or virtually won't be confused, and focused enough to provide clear differentiation from the competition. Strong brands are more than globally recognizable; they are critical assets that can make a significant contribution to your company's bottom line. In Global Brand Power, Kahn brings brand management into the 21st century, addressing how branding contributes to the purchase process and how to position a strong global brand, from identifying the appropriate competitive set, offering a sustainable differential advantage, and targeting the right strategic segment. This essential guide also covers how customer ownership of your brand affects marketing strategy, methods for assessing brand value, how to manage a brand for long-term profitability, effective brand communications and repositioning strategies, and how to manage a brand in a world of total transparency-where one slip-up can go around the world via social media instantaneously. Filled with stories about how Coca-Cola, The Estee Lauder Companies Inc., Marriott, Apple, Starbucks, Campbell Soup Company, Southwest Airlines, and celebrities like Lady Gaga are leveraging their brands, Global Brand Power is the only book you will need to implement an effective brand strategy for your firm.

Throughout history, selling and entertainment have gone hand in hand - from the medieval pedlar and the medicine show, to generations of TV commercials featuring song and dance, comedy, and cartoon animals, right up to today's celebrities who launch their own multi-million dollar brands. There are good reasons for this; we now understand better than ever before the psychological and sociological reasons why apparent frivolity creates serious business benefits. And yet the advertising business today seems reluctant to embrace its powerful links with popular culture. Misled on one side by managerial myths of rationality and logic, and on the other by a cultish misunderstanding of 'creativity', it risks forgetting how to appeal to the public, and how to build successful brands. As a result, evidence suggests, today's advertising is less liked and less effective than ever before. But it is not too late to reverse this trend. Advertisers and agencies who read this book will rediscover why the pedlar sings, and despite what we've all been told, why people do buy from clowns. They will be inspired to make their advertising more popular, more famous, more fun again - and much more effective. 'This is a fabulous book. ...It is possibly the book I would most highly recommend to anyone in marketing.' Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman, Ogilvy

During much of the second half of the 20th century advertising in Britain led the world. Yet no history of British advertising covering this heady period has previously been published. During those years advertising increasingly came to touch upon almost every aspect of every individual's life, and reached its peak as a proportion of the Gross National Product. It boosted economic growth and peoples' affluence. But at the same time the advertising industry was frequently under siege, as politicians, pressure groups, and others constantly sought to restrain its influence - and often succeeded. For several decades the creativity of British campaigns was preeminent around the globe. But Powers of Persuasion is not just about advertisements - it is about advertising. During those years Britain was also a world leader in setting industry benchmarks - innovating the account planning discipline, setting the standard for public service advertising, launching global advertising awards festivals, introducing the best system of advertising regulation, setting up both the world's largest advertising archive and the world's most comprehensive on-line advertising research databank. These were the keystones on which British creativity was built. Simultaneously, major British advertising companies - particularly Saatchi & Saatchi and WPP - raced to the top of the global league. Powers of Persuasion tells the authoritative story of this dynamic, exhilarating era, with pen portraits of the personalities involved, anecdotes, case histories, and essential data. Written (from the inside) by one of the industry's leaders, this is a book for all interested in advertising and its role in society, business, and the media.
