To beat your competitors you must know exactly what they are doing. It is impossible to put together a successful competitive strategy if you are unsure what your competitors are doing, what they plan to do or even who your competitors really are. As markets evolve even more rapidly and companies adapt their plans much faster, the demand for competitive intelligence has spiralled. Christopher West, an expert in the field, shows you how to collect, analyse and use competitive intelligence from a variety of sources, including the internet, and change your competitive strategy accordingly.

R2,653 Discovery Miles 26 530 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

The retail sector has undergone a major structural transformation in the past fifteen years and one aspect has been the enormous growth in airport retailing which now represents one of the major methods of profit generation for the airport authorities. With this trend set to continue, retailing will increasingly represent an important aspect of future airport development.

Including coverage of both tax free and duty paid retailing, the book looks at such issues as retail marketing; location and design; supply chain relationships and human resource issues.

Managing Retail Productivity and Profitability (Paperback, 1st ed. 1996): Dominic Laffy, David Walters Managing Retail Productivity and Profitability (Paperback, 1st ed. 1996)
Dominic Laffy, David Walters
R4,016 Discovery Miles 40 160 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Managing productivity and profitability in retailing has taken on a particular role since the onset of the recession of the late 1980s. Productivity can be improved simply by rationalising low performing stores, merchandise ranges and by reducing the number of suppliers and employees. However, this is not necessarily a long term solution. The purpose of this text is to propose a means by which a more proactive approach may be taken to improving both productivity and profitability. The book develops a model based upon management ratios typically used in retailing businesses for planning and control purposes. The model encourages the use of existing performance data to evaluate overall company productivity and profitability together with performance characteristics of individual functions. An additional feature of the approach is the facility to explore the impact of changes to the retail offer suggested by customer research responses. To facilitate the use of the concepts and the model used, a disk is also available, containing the application of the model to a number of the case studies and a facility for the user to input their own data.

Global Electronic Commerce - A Policy Primer (Paperback, illustrated edition): Catherine Mann, Sue Eckert, Sarah Cleeland Knight Global Electronic Commerce - A Policy Primer (Paperback, illustrated edition)
Catherine Mann, Sue Eckert, Sarah Cleeland Knight
R643 Discovery Miles 6 430 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Electronic commerce is changing the way that businesses and consumers interact with each other; the products they create, buy, and sell; and the way that they communicate, learn, and become informed. How can policymakers position their countries and themselves to take advantage of this new environment? How should policymaking adjust to a more global, more networked, and more information-rich marketplace where relationships and jurisdictions between the governments, businesses, and citizens of different countries increasingly overlap? How can governments effectively harness rapidly changing technologies and partner with both domestic and foreign private sectors to reap the greatest benefits for their constituents?

This primer answers these questions using both general analysis and specific examples. It addresses in particular the needs of policymakers in emerging markets who must formulate and refine policies that affect e-commerce in areas ranging from telecommunications and finance to international trade and domestic distribution as well as taxation and privacy. Companies considering doing business in these economies also will find that the examples offer insights into the issues that policymakers face, the different policy approaches that they choose, and the market opportunities that result as more and more economies embrace global electronic commerce.

Multi-Channel im stationaren Einzelhandel - Ein UEberblick (German, Paperback, 1. Aufl. 2016): Reingard Jager Multi-Channel im stationaren Einzelhandel - Ein UEberblick (German, Paperback, 1. Aufl. 2016)

Das Buch stellt die Gefahr von Shitstorms dar, die schnell in Sozialen Medien aufziehen und Unternehmen schaden koennen.

Fur Unternehmen ware es ein Worst-Case-Szenario, wenn ein Shitstorm seinen Ruf nachhaltig schadigt und intensive Marketingbemuhungen verpuffen lassen wurde. Die Case Study behandelt das Thema Shitstorm-Attacken auf zwei Ebenen. So diskutiert sie auf der ersten Ebene die Moeglichkeiten der Shitstorm-Pravention des Unternehmens, aus denen dann eine Praventionsstrategie erarbeitet wird. Auf der zweiten Ebene wird anhand eines Beispiels ein Plan entwickelt, mit dem ein Shitstorm beruhigt werden kann. Beide Strategien koennen von Unternehmen eingesetzt werden, um sowohl Shitstorms vorzubeugen als auch diese fruhzeitig zu minimieren.

Werner Muller Bundesminister fur Wirtschaft und Technologie Der internationale Globalisierungsprozess hat in den letzten Jahren eine betrachtliche Intensivie rung erfahren. Sie halt unvermindert an, ein Ende ist nicht abzusehen. Je leichter und kosten gunstiger der Transport von Menschen, Gutern oder Informationen, desto rascher und enger das Zusammenwachsen der Raume. Hiervon bleibt auch der Umweltschutz nicht unberuhrt. Langst ist der Schutz unserer Umwelt zur notwendigen, ja unerlasslichen Dimension geworden. Zu Recht postuliert dabei das aus dem Rio-Prozess 1992 entwickelte Leitbild der Nachhaltigkeit auch im weltweiten Kontext die gleichrangige Berucksichtigung oekonomischer, oekologischer und sozialer Belange. Deutschland ist wie kaum eine andere Nation auf offene Markte angewiesen. Andererseits sind die deutschen Umweltstandards besonders anspruchsvoll. Des halb ist gerade die deutsche Politik gefordert, zur Erhaltung und Foerderung unse rer Wettbewerbsfahigkeit fur ein hoeheres Mass an internationalem Umweltschutz bei gleichzeitiger Gewahrleistung des freien Handels einzutreten. Anspruchsvolle internationale Umweltstandards eroeffnen innovativen deut schen Produzenten von Umweltschutz-Technologien auf einem rasant wachsenden Weltmarkt beachtliche neue Geschaftsfelder und Potentiale. Die Politik kann hier flankierend zur Seite stehen, sei es mit Hilfe des umfangreichen aussenwirtschaft lichen Foerderinstrumentariums, sei es als Turoeffner. Allerdings: Die Hauptarbeit muss von der Wirtschaft selbst geleistet werden.

Synchronized Factories - Latin America and the Caribbean in the Era of Global Value Chains (Paperback, 2014 ed.): Juan S. Blyde Synchronized Factories - Latin America and the Caribbean in the Era of Global Value Chains (Paperback, 2014 ed.)
Juan S. Blyde
R1,937 Discovery Miles 19 370 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

The objective of this report is to examine the extent to which countries in Latin America and the Caribbean participate in global value chains and what are the drivers of such participation. Production processes have been increasingly fragmented worldwide. For example, the production of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner involves 43 suppliers located in 135 locations around the globe. There are many examples like the Dreamliner, from the 451 parts that go into the iPod to the less technologically intensive but still widespread multi-country production of a Barbie doll. All this reflects significant changes in the way world production is being reorganized across national borders. That is, for many goods, production has become a multi-country process in which different stages are carried out in specialized plants in different parts of the world. Countries which specialize in different stages of the production process are thus linked by these global value chains. For developing countries, a clear opportunity from the continuous international fragmentation of production arises in the form of participating in activities that were virtually not opened to them in the past. Therefore, the international fragmentation of production provides opportunities for trade diversification, an issue that can be of particular importance for Latin America and the Caribbean as the region's export base is in general highly concentrated in a few industries and particularly biased towards natural-resource intensive sectors. The aim is to identify whether there is policy space for implementing strategies that allow countries to improve their position in regional and global value chains.

R1,019 Discovery Miles 10 190 Ships in 5 - 10 working days

Marketing Channel Strategy: An Omni-Channel Approach is the first book on the market to offer a completely unique, updated approach to channel marketing. Palmatier and Sivadas have adapted this classic text for the modern marketing reality by building a model that shows students how to engage customers across multiple marketing channels simultaneously and seamlessly.

The omni-channel is different from the multi-channel. It recognizes not only that customers access goods and services in multiple ways, but also that they are likely doing this at the same time; comparing prices on multiple websites, and seamlessly switching between mobile and desktop devices. With the strong theoretical foundation that users have come to expect, the book also offers lots of practical exercises and applications to help students understand how to design and implement omni-channel strategies in reality.

Advanced undergraduate and graduate students in marketing channels, distribution channels, B2B marketing, and retailing classes will enjoy acquiring the most cutting-edge marketing skills from this book.

A full set of PowerPoint slides accompany this new edition, to support instructors.

Mobile Commerce gehort zu den vieldiskutierten Themen, bei denen eine grosse Unsicherheit bezuglich der zukunftigen Entwicklung festzustellen ist. Dieses Buch soll helfen, die Unsicherheit zu reduzieren und eine kommerzielle Nutzung des M-Commerce zu ermoglichen. Dazu werden die Bestimmungsfaktoren der zukunftigen Entwicklung und einer erfolgreichen kommerziellen Nutzung analysiert sowie zentrale Teilaspekte des Einsatzes mobiler Endgerate dargestellt. Es wird deutlich, dass M-Commerce kein "Modethema," sondern der Beginn einer langfristigen Entwicklung hin zum "Electronic Aided Acting" ist, und damit elektronische Unterstutzung sowohl bei geschaftlichen Kommunikations- und Transaktionsprozessen als auch in Alltagssituationen und Notlagen beinhaltet. Ebenso deutlich wird, dass sich auch im M-Commerce kommerzielle Erfolge nur von jenen Unternehmen erzielen lassen, welche bestimmte Regeln des strategischen Marketing und Marketing-Controlling befolgen."

Total Action muss das Funktionsprinzip jedes Unternehmens sein. Diejenigen Unternehmen, welche es verstehen, den Kunden in der heutigen anspruchsvollen Welt des totalen Wettbewerbs zu uberzeugen, halten den Schlussel zum gescha- lichen Erfolg in Handen. Fragt man Fuhrungskrafte und Mitarbeiter nach ihrer Meinung, bekunden ausnahmslos alle, dass sie diese Weisheit durchaus verst- den haben, es dennoch als unglaublich schwierig empfinden, gemeinsam k- struktiv auf dieses Ziel hinzuarbeiten. Die "digitale Welt" funktioniert nach einer voellig neuen geschaftlichen Logik mit dem Tenor: Wir mussen schnell und eff- tiv handeln, um unsere zunehmend anspruchsvollen und fortschrittlichen Kunden zu halten und neue Kunden hinzuzugewinnen. Dabei ist es unerheblich, ob es sich um individuelle Kunden oder Unternehmen handelt. Die meisten Kunden fordern viel mehr, als viele Unternehmen zu bieten im Stande sind. Es heisst, dass der Erfinder des Telefons davon uberzeugt war, dass seine Erf- dung vor allem dazu genutzt werden wurde, jemanden daruber in Kenntnis zu setzen, dass ein Telegramm an ihn abgeschickt worden sei. Heute wissen wir, dass man mit einem Telefon - und all den damit verbundenen digitalen Geschaftste- nologien - noch sehr viel mehr machen kann. Doch um erfolgreich zu sein, gilt es, das eigene Handeln neu zu uberdenken. Warum erledigen wir die Dinge auf diese Weise und nicht anders? Und weshalb tun wir sie uberhaupt? Dies sind die A- gangsfragen fur das hier vorliegende Buch. Die Autoren vergleichen traditionelle Organisationsmuster mit den Moegli- keiten der neuen digitalen Technologien.

Entgegen einer weitverbreiteten Meinung ist Deutschland keine "Servicewuste." Viele deutsche Handler und deren Industriepartner haben in den vergangenen Jahren weit mehr fur ihre Kunden investiert als dies bekannt ist. Diese Branche steht durch moderne Managementprozesse und neueste Technologien mitten in einem radikalen Umbruch. Einzelhandel, Konsumguterhersteller, Dienstleister wie Marktforschungsunternehmen, IT-Hersteller und Softwareanbieter sowie Logistikunternehmen bauen Netzwerke der Zusammenarbeit auf, bei denen es nur um eins geht: standig Kundenorientierung optimieren. Dieses Buch dokumentiert diese aktuellen Spitzenleistungen der Kundenorientierung und liefert damit Vorbilder fur andere. Autoren des Buches sind Vorstande und Geschaftsfuhrer, aber auch "Macher" aus vielen Unternehmen."
