Abstract:
Tato práce se zabývá problematikou zavedení a provozu nadzvukových business jetů. V dnešní době se v civilní letecké přepravě, po ukončení provozu Concordu, žádná nadzvuková letadla nevyskytují. V dnešní době existuje mnoho projektů a organizací, které se zabývají znovuzavedením nadzvukových letounů do civilního letectví a soustředí se převážně na business jety. Hlavní otázkou je, zda je vůbec vhodné, či rozumné se k tomu typu dopravy znovu vracet. Existuje hodně problémů, které toto komplikují. Tyto letouny způsobují příliš velký hluk, mají obrovskou spotřebu paliva a musí řešit nadměrné emise, létají ve vysokých výškách ve kterých může docházet k problémům s přetlakováním kabiny, navigací, radioaktivním zářením apod. Navíc zákaz supersonických letů nad pevninou letové cesty omezuje a prodlužuje. Současně vznikající projekty navíc nedosahují tak velkého doletu jako klasické moderní bussjety, což způsobuje, že se nadzvukové business jety se na delších tratích stávají neefektivní. I přes tyto problémy, je víceméně jisté, že k zavedení nadzvukových business jetů dojde během následujících 10 - 15 let, i kdyby to měla být jen otázka jisté prestiže velmi bohatých lidí.

This work aims to answer questions regarding the Brazilian aviation market, and how it behaves in terms of oligopolistic competition. That is, there are some firms in this sector competing for the same market, thereby analyzing issues among these firms, you may indicate issues of efficiency in this sector. Using data on market share of each company, and the elasticity of the aviation industry for the year 2009, it was mixed reviews on possible mergers in the airline market in Brazil, giving in each profile that elasticity which would potentially bring a greater distortion for the sector. The methodology for this was the model PCAIDS (Proportionality-Calibrated Almost Ideal Demand System), proposed by Epstein and Rubinfeld (2002) that simulates the merger of two companies in an oligopolistic market, and has an advantage of requiring fewer parameters to your pet than other methodologies. The findings suggest that the merger of GOL TAM will bring a higher price increases than other combinations that were made to give some scenarios that were tested.
Este trabalho visa responder questÃes referentes ao mercado de aviaÃÃo brasileiro e verificar como este se comporta em termos de concorrÃncia oligopolista. Ou seja, existem algumas firmas, neste setor, disputando o mesmo mercado, com isso, analisando questÃes entre essas firmas, à possÃvel indicar questÃes de eficiÃncia neste setor. Utilizando dados sobre a parcela de mercado de cada empresa, e as elasticidades do setor de aviaÃÃo para o ano de 2009, foram feitas vÃrias anÃlises sobre possÃveis fusÃes no mercado aÃreo brasileiro, indicando em cada perfil de elasticidade qual seria a que potencialmente traria uma maior distorÃÃo para o setor. A metodologia para tal processo foi o modelo PCAIDS (Proportionality-Calibrated Almost Ideal Demand System), proposto por Epstein e Rubinfeld (2002), que simula a fusÃo de duas empresas em um mercado oligopolizado, e possui uma vantagem de exigir menos parÃmetros para a sua estimaÃÃo do que as outras metodologias. As conclusÃes apontam que a fusÃo da empresa GOL com a TAM trarà uma maior elevaÃÃo de preÃos do que se outras combinaÃÃes fossem feitas para alguns cenÃrios de elasticidade que foram testados.

Abstract:
New Zealand Post is in a declining market with mail and has recently expanded its parcel and courier capabilities through the addition of significant global logistics capability. The Corporate and Business segment also identified potential opportunity in moving further in the value chain of the retail supply chain to cover helping businesses find and grow customers. Early stage research identified that many businesses felt they needed to grow by exporting but they found his to be very challenging. Some had tried and withdrawn from markets and others hadn’t known how to start. A proposed new business unit which would be a turn-key business solution helping New Zealand businesses connect with international customers and successfully delivering their products to those customers, was the solution to this need, the working title of which is ‘Grow Group’. The goal of this project was to incubate with a small number of businesses to gain sufficient knowledge to determine if there is a sizeable enough market and margin to build a profitable business and establish if New Zealand Post can build sufficient IP to lead such a business.

Abstract:
Este trabalho tem como objetivo final identificar atributos que determinam a fidelidade de empresas aos seus fornecedores de serviços de consultoria em informática. O estudo inicia com uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre os conceitos de serviços, qualidade, satisfação, fidelidade, relacionamento, retenção, customer bonding e características do mercado de consultoria. Em seguida, são realizadas entrevistas com executivos de diversos segmentos que serviram de base, junto com a pesquisa bibliográfica, para a elaboração e aplicação de um questionário. Elaborou- se um modelo de fidelidade utilizando as variáveis independentes imagem, relacionamento com a equipe de vendas, suporte, relacionamento com a equipe de consultores, preço, serviço e barreiras de mudança e a variável dependente fidelidade, resultante da aglutinação das variáveis satisfação, recompra e recomendação. A análise dos resultados da pesquisa mostrou que os atributos imagem do fornecedor, relacionamento da equipe de consultores, preço e serviço foram os mais importantes para explicar a fidelidade. O estudo mostrou que 54% dos clientes são fiéis, 19% como prisioneiros (fidelidade espúria), 6% como acessíveis (fidelidade latente) e 21% como de alto risco (ausência de fidelidade). Ele mostrou também que o setor público apresenta menor fidelidade (25%) em relação a outros setores.
The purpose of this study is to identify the attributes that determine the customers loyalty to its IT consulting services suppliers. We started this study with a bibliographical research on the concepts of services, quality, satisfaction, loyalty, relationship, retention, customer bonding and characteristics of the IT consulting market. After that, it carried through interviews with executives from different segments. A survey was elaborated based on the bibliographical research and the interviews. A loyalty model was created using the independent variables brand, relationship with the sales team, support, relationship with the consultants team, price, service, switch barriers and the dependent loyalty variable, resultant of the agglutination of satisfaction, repurchases and recommendation. The research findings showed that the attributes brand, relationship of the consultants team, price and service had been most important to explain the loyalty. The findings showed that 54% of the customers are truly loyal, 19% as prisoners (spurious loyalty), 6% as accessible (latent loyalty) and 21% as of high risk (loyalty absence). It also showed that the public sector is less loyalty (25%) than other sectors.

Abstract:
In the aviation industry, purchasing departments spend approximately 80% of revenues on procurement. Additionally, 62% of companies experience unforeseen expenses or hidden costs in the procurement process. Grounded in a conceptual framework of activity-based costing, the purpose of this case study was to explore strategies used by 5 upper-level supply chain management leaders at a maintenance repair and overhaul company in the aviation industry in the Southeastern United States to accurately forecast procurement costs. Data collection included 5 semistructured interviews, company documents, and annual reports. Through thematic analysis, the major themes that emerged from the data analysis were accuracy, competitive advantage, improved corporate performance, and improved total cost analysis. The findings may contribute to social change in the Southeastern region of the United States. The aviation industry is experiencing competition from low-cost countries and the economy of the region and hundreds of families and educational institutions depend on the success of the companies in the region for sustainability.

The Internet has come a long way after the widely reported invention by Sandra Lerner and Leonard Bosack of the router, a device that can transmit data from one network to another based on certain protocols and principles. Despite a slow start in the mid 1980s, the Internet has emerged as one of the primary means of communication for people of all walks of life. Sophisticated, network-aware applications that integrate data, voice and video have helped fuel this growth. This thesis examines the latest technology trends and historical developments in various market segments of the Internet. Using technology trends as a backdrop, it analyzes business development at Cisco Systems, Inc., a major player in all Internet market segments. Well-known tools and concepts such as the Familiarity Matrix and Technology S-curve are used for case studies of business development at Cisco. Business Development is almost always a high-stakes endeavor requiring keen insight on both financial and strategy fronts. What are good strategies for corporate entrepreneurship? What are the challenges in business development by way of acquisitions? Will cyber anonymity continue to make us lonely and distanced, or will there be a new breed of Internet applications that will genuinely bring people closer? These are some of the questions this thesis explores, drawing on the wisdom and experience of industry experts.

Abstract:

The dynamics of business contexts influence the way firms act in their industry. These changes can have effects in several areas within a company. Entrepreneurship and Innovation are two areas that are affected when a change in firm’s environment occurs, like Schumpeter, Shane and Drucker point. Changes in the deregulatory framework are a specific type of change that can occur. According to Entrepreneurship theories, the removal of regulatory barriers creates opportunities to different reallocation of resources that can lead to changes in market equilibrium. This study addresses this relation between deregulation and entrepreneurship-innovation in the European airline industry. With the removal of regulatory barriers, companies like SAS and Ryanair, saw opportunities to do something new and at the same time had to adapt to these “doing something new” behavior of other companies. Entrepreneurship and innovation were the answer to theses changes and the weapon to fight answers to others with this change. Considering this, our statement problem is the following:

How did the deregulation of air transportation in Europe foster entrepreneurial behavior and innovation in the European airline industry over the last twenty years? The case of SAS and Ryanair.

Our goal is to describe the process of deregulation and how firms reacted to it and to give explanations behind the relation deregulation-entrepreneurship, identifying the direct and indirect influence of deregulation in the studied companies. Furthermore, based on this investigation, we will trace possible ways on how future deregulation in Europe can foster further entrepreneurial behavior and innovation.

This thesis was conducted with a positivism scientific ideal and a deductive approach. We used a qualitative method to collect empirical data that could match with the theories we had chosen beforehand. We conducted three interviews with people inside the industry – from airlines (SAS Braathens and SAS) and from airports (LFV). The first two were used as main sources to SAS case study and the third to have a perspective of airline industry. Since we could not get any interview with Ryanair, Ryanair story book was used as main source for this case study.

Our theoretical framework consists of four different broad areas that are interrelated to each other. These areas and the respective theories integrated in them are: institutions and regulation, changes in context and strategic position.

Our study shows that EU deregulation altered the five competitive forces in European airline industry and in turn this fostered entrepreneurship and innovation, as a reaction of firms to adapt to the change in their context. The reaction of Ryanair and SAS through entrepreneurial and innovative behaviour was different due to the differences in their business model. We argue that the removal of barriers to new entrants and the increased rivalry between firms were the main forces that fostered entrepreneurship and innovation. We predict that if further EU deregulation comes (as it is the trend) this will generate more opportunities to entrepreneurship and innovation like it generated in the past.

Abstract:
This report examines whether the excess total return to shareholders could be projected by common accounting and market ratios using regression analysis. Our four most important results indicate that; 1) growth stocks outperformed value stocks from 2002 to 2011, 2) size premium of small stocks was valid before the financial crisis in 2008, 3) companies are penalized by having relatively high cash reserves, and, 4) companies with high degree of leverage do not yield a risk premium in normal financial times, but are instead more influenced by such risks in financial recessions. We also show that differences between industry segments are present, and that some ratios could be more predictive when investigating separate segments. Finally, an investment strategy is constructed based on the result of our analysis. We showed that a positive risk-reward return could be earned by using only public information and the preceding year’s cross-sectional regression estimates.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The bond market is an important economic element of both developed and developing economies. The after effects of the Asian crises have prompted arguments that the existence of well-functioning domestic bond markets would have helped to mitigate the impact of shocks in the financial systems of the emerging markets both by providing an alternative source of funding to bank lending and by exposing investors rather than taxpayers to negative shocks. Comparative analyses of various emerging markets were done by using data from the IMF, IFC and various publications. Data from the developed nations, in particular the United States were used as a source of reference because corporate bond market has been used successfully in these markets. Given the limited sources of reference locally, data was sourced mainly from the Bond Exchange of South Africa publications, financial magazines and newspapers, workshop presentations and comments from various bankers, economists and fixed-income analysts. The report starts by looking at the size and growth of the market in comparison with its counterparts in the emerging markets. The reasons, facts, figures and arguments for such growth are thoroughly discussed. This study presents comprehensive macro-economic arguments on the development of the corporate bond market and the benefits they offer to corporates as an alternative source of long-term capital debt funding. The quantitative and qualitative model that assists corporates with the decision making process of whether to issue a bond to fund the capital structure is discussed. The study undertook a quantitative survey of the elements of corporate bond market in terms of coupon rates, bond pricing, risks (namely, credit rating risk and default risk) and the performance of the market, in particular the marketability, liquidity and returns. The investment strategy in the riskier part of the bond market is introduced and discussed, though limited in terms of development. The report concludes by mentioning the successes of the bond market by identifying the existing gaps in the market and the future development of the corporate bond market in South Africa, especially to attract more issuers to the net.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die lang termyn effekte mark, is "n belangrike finansierings element van beide die ontwikkelde en die ontwikkelende ekonomië. Die Asiese krises het as nagevolg gehad dat daar gefokus kon word op die moontlik versagtende invloed van "n goed gedefinieerde funksionele binnelandse effekte mark. Dit kon van die nagevolge versag het deur die daarstelling van "n alternatiewe finansierings bron en die daaropvolgende blootstelling van beleggers in die plek van die belastingbetalers. Vergelykende ontledings van verskeie ontwikkelende mark ekonomië is gedoen deur gebruikmaking van inligting verskaf deur die I.M.F. en I.F.K. asook ander publikasies. Inligting oor ontwikkelde lande in besonder die V.S.A. is gebruik as vergelykende anelise omdat die lang termyn effekte mark suksesvol bedryf word in hierdie markte. Weens die gebrekkige beskikbaarheid van binnelandse bronne i sinligting meestal vanaf die publikasies van die Lang Termyn Effekte beurs van Suid Afrika, finansiële tydskrifte, koerant publikasies, werkswinkel voorleggings asook gespekke met bankiers, ekonome en vaste koers beleggings ontleders verkry. Hierdie studie stuk, vergelyk in die eerste deel die omvang en groei van die mark in vergelyking met ander markte in ontwikkelende lande. Die verskeie groei veranderlikes asook redes en feite rakende groei word in diepte bespreek. Vergelykende makro ekonomiese bewyse vir die ontwikkeling en vestiging van "n lang termyn effekte mark, en die voordele daarvan vir Maatskappye as "n alternatiewe bron van kapitaal word in hierdie studie aangebied. Die kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe model vir gebruik deur Maatskappye om tot besluitneming te kom rakende die gebruik van effekte om kapitaal benodighede te befonds word ook bespreek. Die studie het ook "n kwantitatiewe opname ingesluit rakende die verskeie elemente van d ie effekte mark en 0 nder a ndere is daar nad ie koepon koerse, effekte prys bepaling, risiko (naamlik krediet en dishonorering), mark tendense en opbrengste, met besondere verwysing na bemarkbaarheid, likwiditeit en opbrengs. Beleggings strategie in die meer riskante deel van die lang termyn effekte mark word ook bespreek, maar dit is beperk weens die beperkte ontwikkeling daarvan. Afsluitend word verwys na verskeie sukses faktore in die effekte mark deur die indentifisering van bestaande gapings, en die toekomstige ontwikkeling van hierdie spesifieke mark in Suid Afrika. Die doelstelling om meer toetreders na die mark te lok as deelnemers deur die uitgifte van lang termyn effekte word ook benadruk.

Abstract:
Finding the most interesting correlations among items is essential for problems in many commercial, medical, and scientific domains. For example, what kinds of items should be recommended with regard to what has been purchased by a customer? How to arrange the store shelf in order to increase sales? How to partition the whole social network into several communities for successful advertising campaigns? Which set of individuals on a social network should we target to convince in order to trigger a large cascade of further adoptions? When conducting correlation analysis, traditional methods have both effectiveness and efficiency problems, which will be addressed in this dissertation. Here, we explore the effectiveness problem in three ways. First, we expand the set of desirable properties and study the property satisfaction for different correlation measures. Second, we study different techniques to adjust original correlation measure, and propose two new correlation measures: the Simplified χ² with Continuity Correction and the Simplified χ² with Support. Third, we study the upper and lower bounds of different measures and categorize them by the bound differences. Combining with the above three directions, we provide guidelines for users to choose the proper measure according to their situations. With the proper correlation measure, we start to solve the efficiency problem for a large dataset. Here, we propose a fully-correlated itemset (FCI) framework to decouple the correlation measure from the need for efficient search. By wrapping the desired measure in our FCI framework, we take advantage of the desired measure's superiority in evaluating itemsets, eliminate itemsets with irrelevant items, and achieve good computational performance. In addition, we identify a 1-dimensional monotone property of the upper bound of any good correlation measure, and different 2-dimensional monotone properties for different types of correlation measures. We can either use the 2-dimensional search algorithm to retrieve correlated pairs above a certain threshold, or our new Token-Ring algorithm to find top-κ correlated pairs to prune many pairs without computing their correlations. In order to speed up FCI search, we build an enumeration tree to save the fully-correlated value (FCV) for all the FCIs under an initial threshold. We can either efficiently retrieve the desired FCIs for any given threshold above the initial threshold or incrementally grow the tree if the given threshold is below the initial threshold. With the theoretical analysis on correlation search, we applied our research to two typical applications: Market Basket Analysis and Network Community Detection.

Abstract:
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is frequently used in the world of finance to predict the price of various securities. In this thesis, the model will be examined on the Swedish pension fund market to evaluate three main questions. If CAPM holds on the Swedish pension fund market, to examine selected funds with various performance measurements and to predict the values for a smaller selection of funds and make a comparison to the actual returns. To achieve the aims, historical data has been used for the period of 2009-2017 selecting fifteen Swedish based pension funds from the four largest banks in Sweden. Time series regression was performed and also calculations for Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen’s Alpha. The result of the analysis is that CAPM holds for 9 of the 15 funds that was evaluated. Handelsbanken Svenska Småbolag was the top ranked fund in the ranking system, with highest position in all the performance measurements. The result of the prediction test was that the funds with the highest betas yielded the most accurate return.

MBA Professional Report
Approved for public release, distribution unlimited
The purpose of this MBA professional report is to supplement the long and short range strategic development efforts of Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) by providing command leadership with an analysis of the current aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) industry to identify potential expansion opportunities for FRCSW. Strategy development is dependent upon a solid, current and complete industrial analysis. An industrial analysis includes, 1) a definition of the industry, 2) a description of external forces acting upon the industry, 3) a description of the industry structure and 4) an examination of the key success factors that benchmark the requirements for a firm to stay competitive in the industry. These analyses provide FRCSW with the information required to leverage their core competencies to indentify and capitalize on potential opportunities in the industry. This study identifies emerging trends, presents projected forecasts, identifies external forces on both the military aviation MRO industry and FRCSW, and discusses those factors that are key to long term success in the military aviation MRO industry. The conclusions present a number of opportunities for FRCSW to explore in their effort to remain the Navy's premier aviation depot.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research study presents an empirical quantitative research aimed primarily at establishing whether there is a need for a weekly professional and business women's newspaper. Due to the scope and costs of doing a national research, this research was narrowed to the Western Cape's Cape metropolitan region. This research is therefore a pilot study which is to provide foundations for a representative research project. A structured questionnaire-based survey was designed and used to gather data that would answer the research question. This survey was distributed amongst 200 professional women, business women and women aspiring to these positions and who are currently reading newspapers within the Cape Metropole. The questionnaire was divided into three sections. The first section was the screening section which was to ensure that all respondents are within the target group. This was followed by the demographic section which was to establish the backgrounds of respondents and the newspaper readership patterns section which aimed to understand women's readership patterns and also to answer the research questions. Findings from the survey revealed that there is a potential market for a weekly professional and business women's newspaper, as 82 percent of the 200 respondents indicated that they would be willing to buy a newspaper targeted at women. Results also revealed that these women mainly read newspapers on a Sunday. In addition the majority (65%) of the respondents indicated that they would prefer a women's newspaper to be a weekly publication. This implies that a weekly professional and business women's newspaper is a potentially viable business proposition. Although the results and literature supports the view that professional and business women are a growing market and that they are generally not satisfied with the current newspaper offerings in the market, this research is a pilot research study and should be followed by a larger scale research project to investigate this topic and better understand the needs of women. Moreover, future studies will establish more precisely the size of this market and establish whether it makes business sense to pursue this proposition.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsingstudie verteenwoordig 'n empiriese kwantitatiewe navorsingstuk primêr daarop gerig om te bepaal of daar 'n behoefte bestaan vir 'n weeklikse koerant vir professionele en sakevroue. As gevolg van die omvang en koste van 'n nasionale navorsingstudie, is hierdie navorsing net gerig op die Wes-Kaapse Kaapstadse metropolitaanse streek. Hierdie navorsing is daarom 'n proefstudie wat die grondslag bied vir 'n meer verteenwoordigende navorsingsprojek. 'n Gestruktureerde vraelys-gebaseerde opname is ontwerp en gebruik om data in te samel wat die navorsingsvraag sou beantwoord. Die vraelys is onder 200 professionele vroue, sakevroue en vroue wat tot hierdie posisies aspireer versprei wat tans lesers is van koerante binne die Kaapse Metropool. Die vraelys is in drie dele verdeel. Die eerste afdeling het siftingsvrae bevat om seker te maak dat die respondente deel uitgemaak het van die teikengroep. Dit is gevolg deur ‟n demografiese afdeling wat moes bepaal wat die agtergronde van respondente was en 'n afdeling oor koerantleespatrone wat daarop gemik was om vroue se leespatrone te verstaan en ook die navorsingsvrae te beantwoord. Bevindings van die opname het getoon dat daar 'n potensiële mark is vir 'n weeklikse koerant vir professionele en sakevroue aangesien 82 persent van die 200 respondente aangedui het dat hulle bereid sou wees om 'n koerant gerig op vroue te koop. Die resultate het ook getoon dat hierdie vroue hoofsaaklik op 'n Sondag koerant lees. Verder het die meerderheid (65%) van die respondente aangedui dat hulle sou verkies dat 'n vrouekoerant 'n weeklikse publikasie is. Dit impliseer dat 'n weeklikse koerant gerig op professionele en sakevroue 'n potensieel lewensvatbare besigheidsproposisie is. Alhoewel die resultate en die literatuur die standpunt ondersteun dat professionele en sakevroue 'n groeiende mark is en dat hulle oor die algemeen nie tevrede is met die huidige koerantaanbiedinge in die mark nie, is hierdie navorsing slegs 'n proefstudie en behoort dit opgevolg te word deur 'n veel groter navorsingsprojek om hierdie onderwerp te ondersoek en die behoeftes van vroue beter te verstaan. Verdere studies sal ook meer presies kan bepaal wat die grootte van hierdie mark is en bepaal of dit besigheidsin maak om hierdie proposisie verder te voer.

Abstract:

Recently the small house market has been extensively discussed by the market participants and media. Whether the small house owners afford to occupy their current house due to any market changes, especially after the Central Bank announced an increase in the interest rate during 2007.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyse Sweden’s future economic development from a small house owner perspective and also to examine all the municipalities in the Sweden. The regional analysis is implemented in order to find the most sensitive municipalities in regard to any market changes. In the analysis, ratios have been used for describing the municipalities’ indebtedness and their ability of mortgage repayment.

Interesting findings show that the most sensitive municipalities are situated in Skåne, implying that this region is the most sensitive to market fluctuations. There where also a strong indication of summer vacation resorts being highly sensitive, and these resorts where in addition located in Skåne. Furthermore, the future state of Sweden’s economy has an additional uncertainty due to new regulations by the newly elected government. The core conclusion is that statistics confirms that Skåne region is the most sensitive region, and this may escalate to reach national level.


Småhusmarknaden har på senare tid uppmärksammats av marknadsintressenter och media. Sedan Riksbanken uttalat sig om en planerad ränteökning under 2007 har heta diskussioner om huruvida småhusägarna har råd att bo kvar i deras befintliga hus, om den förväntade marknadsförändring äger rum.

Denna uppsats har i syfte att undersöka Sveriges framtida ekonomi från småhusägarnas perspektiv, genom att analysera alla kommuner i Sverige. Den regionala analysen består av en känslighets analys som beskriver den kommunala skuldsättningen, och deras förmåga att betala tillbaka sina huslån.

Intressanta resultat visar att Skåneregionen har de känsligaste kommunerna i Sverige. Detta innebär att denna region är mest utsatt för en eventuell marknadsförändring. Dessutom starka indikationer om att semesterorter har hög känslighet. Även dessa kommuner var lokaliserade i Skåneregionen. Sveriges framtid är ovis på grund av nya lagar som är införda av den nytillträda regeringen. Resultaten visar dock att region Skåne är känsligast och att detta i sin tur skulle kunna leda till en nationell kris.

Abstract:
After the sub-prime mortgage crisis of 2007 and global crisis of 2008, credit risk analysis has becomes more important than ever before. This paper conducts the credit risk analysis and compares classification performances among different algorithms (logistic regression, support vector machine, decision tree, multilayer perception, probabilistic neural network, Deep Learning) by using a large peer-to-peer lending dataset composed of a million observations. The findings show that Support vector machine (SVM) provides the most accurate performance, followed by decision tree, logistic regression, multilayer perceptron neural network, probabilistic neural network and deep learning. The main contributions of this paper is the reapplication of machine learning techniques to an alternate dataset composed of significantly larger number of observations with deviating pattern from traditional bank loans. The findings from SVM and Decision tree are consistent with the previous literature. The results from logistic regression and MLP indicate that they are identical based on p2p dataset, which makes a contribution to the debate whether MLP out performs logistic regression. For PNN it is difficult to say if it properly accounts for the data imbalance due to the low performance of the model compared to the others. Deep learning performance is in contrast to previous work as it is the worst performing model comparing with other investigated techniques. This is potentially due to the simple approach to deep learning that this paper adopted and opens up the topic for future research.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to study the oil skimming market and evaluate what drives company competitiveness and market attractiveness. Throughout the thesis, the total oil skimming market has been divided into an industrial market and an offshore market as these applications have entirely different requirements. However, the skimming market in general is underdeveloped and the long lifetime of the equipment has a negative impact on the market development speed. It is therefore characterised by a fragmented body of competitors and diverging pricing. Instead of price being an order-winning aspect, recovery rate and ability to pick up a large variety of oils has been found to be important.   In this inductive, and interpretivistic case study, a model for market analysis of an underdeveloped market is developed and applied to Sandvik Process Systems’ oil skimming business. The study is based on an extensive interview program with oil skimming equipment manufacturers, and oil spill response companies. The model comprises of an external, and an internal analysis synthesised into a SWOT-matrix from which five strategic directions are extracted. These directions are described as well as their respective business impact on Sandvik Process Systems.   Sandvik Process Systems’ skimmer is a steel belt skimmer developed in the 1960’s. With a lifting height of up to three metres and a width of up to 400 mm, the Sandvik oil skimmer is capable of lifting 354 litres per hour in optimal conditions. Compared to its competitors, the skimmer is a low cost alternative priced at 66-75% below industry average.   However, the results of the analysis indicate a poor competitiveness of Sandvik Process Systems’ product. Due to an inferior technology, Sandvik Process Systems’ skimmer lacks the capacity needed to target the offshore market. Therefore, the product can only target the industrial market. Meanwhile, many competitors offer complete solution packages including as pumps, storage tanks, and a variety of specialised skimmers in order to increase their competitiveness.   Looking at the competitors it is clear that Sandvik Process Systems’ skimmer does have advantages. However, many of the advantages are based on organisational strengths which are difficult to leverage. Also, the organisation does not have any experience from the oil skimming market and due to the small size of the market, it is doubtful if Sandvik Process Systems are able to devote the necessary resources to overcome this hurdle. Due to a revenue target set at EUR 2.33 million, Sandvik Process System’s skimmer would require a 23.9% of the market value or 119% of the number of skimmers sold.   Despite this thesis reaching the conclusion that Sandvik Process Systems should not enter the oil skimming market; it also stipulates that Sandvik Process Systems does have the potential to successfully sell skimmers. However, reaching the goal of EUR 2.33 million is deemed unlikely.

Abstract:
These days, it is hard to discuss innovation and the creative economy without mentioning platforms, which have become core strategy for dominating the market. An accurate understanding of platform business is a key factor in being a successful platform provider, so discussions of platform strategies need to be invigorated, value chains need to be analysed, and theoretical factors need to be seriously considered. Corporations are yearning for new innovations and worry about the absence of an efficient and sustainable growth model. First, this thesis analyses how the value chain and value stream are changed in the platform business model in order to explore value chains and value streams in the two-sided market, which has a distinct group of users on both sides. It proposes three types of platform business strategy which will serve as a frame of reference for analysing the impact of the different value chains on platform businesses. Second, this thesis indicates how a step-by-step business strategy based on the perspective of dynamic approach could be constructed. This research identifies four major stages of platform business (entry stage, growth stage, expansion stage, and maturity stage), and different core elements and strategies exist for each stage. These serve as the conceptual frameworks with which to build a platform business model. The key contributions of this research are as follows. Firstly, the main differences and features of the literature reviewed were suggested with collective action and strategic choice perspectives from different academic approaches. Secondly, this study extends the understanding of the value chain that was the critical strategic element of a corporation in the platform business. Thirdly, this research presents the core elements and strategies for each of the four major growth stages of platform business with the dynamic approach, depending on the distinctive features of the contents and platforms.

With this doctoral dissertation, we aim to contribute to the literature in two different ways. On the one hand, using an agent based model, we provide policymakers and investors with new methods that can be used in financial markets to assess their stability, describe their dynamics, and forecast their future performance. On the other hand, we analyse the evolution of the cross-sectional distribution of activity in the real economy to better understand the firms' destiny. The main results of our two first chapters show that models based on the social interactions provide investors with useful information to set trading strategies, while the last chapter of this thesis demonstrates that the firms' destiny can be tracked by means of the analysis of their profit and growth rate cross-sectional distribution over time.

Full text
Abstract:

Background: Forecasting is an instrument that the managers rely upon for their anticipations of the future. Subcontractors control their operations according to the forecast volumes provided by the telecom mobile network equipment suppliers. The information in the forecasts is however not sufficient.

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to identify and test relevant and available market indicators for prediction of future demand fluctuations on the telecom mobile network equipment market.

Realisation: During a number of interviews, factors that are driving the network equipment market were clarified. The aim of this part was to identify possible market indicators. Hypotheses were set up to test the chosen indicators. In the second part, the indicators were tested statistically. Finally, the theoretical and logical support of the results was discussed.

Result: To predict future movements in network equipment demand, the market indicators should focus on the telecom mobile operators, and their ability, need, and willingness to make new investments. The market indicators proven to be of most importance after the regression analyses were long-term market interest rates and telecom corporate bond indices.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this research is to investigate the price discovery, market efficiency and the temporal dynamic price relationships between financial prices (futures and index) and spot price, for three of the most important precious metals, namely gold, silver and platinum. When people are concerned about the economy, prudent investors switch their investment into precious metals rather than other asset classes. Precious metals futures, thus, are used by commercial producers and users and investors of precious metals to hedge risk or to make profit on the price fluctuations. Understanding the relationship between markets should foster sensible investment decisions and improve the statistical hedging properties of precious metals. Inspired by consideration of the unique status of precious metals in the economy and limited existing empirical evidence of price relationship regarding these metals, this research attempts to contribute to the space literature on market efficiency and causality cross three categories of markets—index, futures and spot. Further it will extend the research on price relationships and interactional impacts of precious metals markets based on non-synchronous trading that connects all the major markets around the world. The findings confirm long-term equilibrium relationships between US futures/index markets and special spot markets of all three precious metals by Cointegration tests. Via VECMs, the findings also revealed that futures prices and indexes of all the tested precious metals played a dominant role in the long run, but not all of them could be the unbiased estimators of the future spot price. On the other hand, mixed results of short-term causality suggested that US futures and indices led spot prices in the majority of cases. The results from this research supported the hypothesis that futures/indices functioned in the price discovery role in both the long- and short-term, and more importantly, the findings had value implications for market users in decision-making and improving their portfolio performance on precious metal markets.

Full text
Abstract:
Property market forecasts play a crucial role in modern real estate valuation methodologies and, consequently, flawed forecasts can have adverse impacts on the accuracy of valuations. This thesis identifies property industry inconsistencies in the formulation and application of office rent forecasts adopted in discounted cash flow (DCF) studies used to assess the value of commercial properties and the viability of proposed projects. Existing research on commercial property cycles and office property market modelling is examined in order to identify the dominant market drivers adopted by researchers. Forecasting techniques are also explored towards specifying space and rent models for the Brisbane CBD office market using the perceived dominant drivers as explanatory variables. Surveys of property valuers and developers are undertaken to underpin the selection of these variables. The implications of varying rent forecasts applied in DCF based valuation assessments are tested through the use of a case study involving four Brisbane office buildings. Innovative research is conducted through adopting geographic information system supported land use and historical valuation studies to delineate market precincts within the Brisbane CBD. The rent model is then re-estimated using precinct based office rent data to allow the generation of forecasts for the individual precincts. Out-of-sample accuracy test results for the precinct forecasts are compared with the results produced by the model specified using whole-of-city data. The literature reviews, surveys and model testing determine a relatively consistent range of dominant explanatory variables applicable to office markets. The case study, in a local context, confirms that varying forecasts do have a significant impact on property valuations. Tests of the forecast results generated by the Brisbane CBD model provide some evidence that more plausible office rent forecasts stem from the use of market models as compared with solely applying professional judgement based forecasts. Subject to data availability limitations, the precinct based rent model is found to produce rent forecasts superior to those generated by the whole-of-city model. Finally, the thesis makes a range of industry recommendations towards enhancing forecasts and recommendations are also made for potential future research projects.

Full text
Abstract:
The tick size regime on systematic internalisers (SIs) was seen as a necessary action to level the playing field between SIs and other trading venues, with the hopes to improve the market composition and market quality in favour of regulated markets. However, the previous literature objects to the view as SIs may have gained the first-mover advantage from their previous tick size exemption. This thesis aims to examine whether the MiFID II tick size regime implementation for SIs on June 26, 2020, alters the market composition and improves the market quality at Nasdaq Stockholm. We consider 45 Swedish stocks with the highest daily average turnover to conduct difference-in-difference regressions. We find that the market quality worsens at Nasdaq Stockholm, while the market composition remains unaffected by the SI tick size regime implementation. The quoted spreads, effective spreads and price impact increase at Nasdaq Stockholm following the SI tick size regime. Impatient traders who trade on information may have rerouted their orders to Nasdaq Stockholm after the event since SIs can no longer offer the avoidance of the price-time priority. Therefore, SIs may have an important role in attracting informed traders who consume rather than supply liquidity. However, the interpretation of the results is conditioned on an inflow of traders from SIs to Nasdaq Stockholm, which we cannot explicitly measure due to the order flow not being adjusted for orders less than the standard market size.

Abstract:

The global marketplace today encompasses 6 billion people. Many companies are beginning to see themselves as international rather than national acting on a global arena. An essential aspect of going abroad is to know where to go and why to go there. In order to be able to analyze a foreign market a company needs to do market research in the foreign market as to gather essential information. A firm which is facing a quick internationalization process is the Swedish direct sales firm of cosmetics Oriflame. Oriflame has grown quickly in developing countries but is not present in one of the biggest market for direct sales in Europe: France.

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a theoretical framework to analyze foreign markets and apply it to the French market of direct sales in cosmetics and Oriflame.

A qualitative study based on the 5 Cs framework for analyzing foreign markets has been carried out. Seven focus groups have been conducted in France and Sweden in order to obtain information about and comparability in consumer attitudes towards Oriflame’s marketing mix. Interviews have been conducted in order to get information about Oriflame as a company. Secondary data has been gathered from different sources for the theoretical framework as well as for the empirical research on issues such as culture, competition and market.

This thesis has developed a theoretical framework to analyze foreign markets called the 5 Cs. The 5 Cs are based on: Company, Constitution, Competition, Customers and Culture. The 5 Cs is a very general framework and can be applied to a wide range of foreign markets and firms and was in this case applied to analyze a real world case of Oriflame and France. The analysis of the empirical findings found that there is potential for Oriflame to enter the French market in terms of consumer preferences and general market characteristics. However, it also found that what will probably determine everything in the end is whether Oriflame can be strategically committed to enter a mature West European market like France.

Abstract:
Today’s market environment is increasingly growing due to the economical globalization; with international trade, financial transfers and foreign direct investments the economy is becoming highly interconnected. The advances in communication and transportation technology combined with free-market ideology, have given products and services remarkable mobility. Nowadays, international companies are focusing on opening the world markets to their goods especially in emerging markets in order to take advantage of these markets opportunities and be part of its developing and growing infrastructure. In order for international companies to enter foreign markets, there are a variety of factors to consider while planning a strategic approach to reach new customers and differentiate their products and services from national and international competitors within the chosen market. This thesis will focus on featuring the significant factors that could affect companies entering new markets; the study is a qualitative single case study of IKEA, it will specifically investigate IKEA’s franchising in the Moroccan market and forms of internal and external factors that could affect IKEA’s entry into the market as well as it will highlight the main concepts that managers should consider when planning to enter the Moroccan market. The study was based on theoretical framework combined with empirical findings that were collected from secondary data such as annually reports and trade documents as well as through conducting in-depth interviews with IKEA’s managers to increase the study reliability and validity. According to the study findings and analytical results, the conclusion is that IKEA will not face major internal and external obstacles that would affect their operations significantly. There are few factors that could arise while entering the Moroccan market but from a holistic view this minor interferences can be overcame through IKEA’s full awareness of the market and their application of a vigorous, flexible and convenient strategic approach.

Business Aviation includes business private plane and personal special plane. When the trade activities are more frequent , the fixed planes can’t meet the commercial people’s need any more. And the effectiveness, privacy, and security of Business Aviation would be another stream of Taiwan’s Aviation industry. How to find the most suitable business model from by the successful experience of other countries and analysis of market condition of development of Taiwan is the main issue discussed in the thesis. By the literature analysis and interviews with the expert s of Business Aviation field, we find some interesting things listed : 1. The business model of Co-ownership, Exchange Use and Fractional Ownership would be more prevail when the policy of government and the use custom of entrepreneurs would change. 2. The main business models used in Taiwan now are Self-Management, Trusteeship and Charter Flight. So entrepreneurs of Business Aviation could build up their actual strength with human resources, supplementary equipments and service centers etc., and has further positive influence to other market conditions. 3. The successful experience of Business Aviation in Hong Kong would be a good example to Taiwan, especially for the development process, the attitude and support of government, matching facilities and “soft-power” of service and management.

In response to the growing transportation demands that stimulated by increasing tendency of global business environment, on July 18 of 2007 the Civil Aviation Law was amended and henceforth liberalization of both general aviation business and private aircraft operation to the public embarked. Since then, several applicants have been granted for entering business charter operation. In recent years, to cope with the numerous cross-strait economic and trade activities, prohibition of non-profit private operation was first rescinded. Nevertheless, in light of enhancing convenience and efficiency further, it is expected that direct business charter flights across Taiwan Strait will furnish huge potential benefits further. Therefore it has been repeatedly introduced into meeting agenda of cross-strait air transport work conferences. So far, mainland China has yet agreed profit business flights between both sides; just states that revising on relevant Regulations still proceeds whereas broadening the permission of operations will only be considered upon that all regulatory revisions are completed. For the time-being, operators in general aviation located in both Taiwan and mainland China are zealously endeavored in expanding business operations between both sides. It is assertive that following the considerable demand on business and charter flights will gradually push release of the barricade provided regulatory amendment is well-prepared. Based on this situation, this study first induces four dimensions-regulations, quality management, market demand and environment (among them, forty sub-indexes are also established), as to evaluate the inter-relationship among various industrial policies regarding business operations in general aviation that defined by the administrative agencies. Some questionnaire sheets are thus developed. Furthering that, these questionaire sheets are filled-out by numbers from Department Navigation and Aviation, MOTC, CAA, aerospace companies and also other industry experts. Sieving on the provided database then follows. As the consequence, 12 key indexes have been identified. By end of this study, DEMATEL (decision-making laboratory analysis method) combined with ANP (DEMATEL-based ANP) method is implemented to locate the relative weightiness of above-mentioned 12 key indexes. The results grasp the mutual influence relationships among industrial policies that impact business aviation. According to the outcome of this study, uncertainty of cross-strait policy is the most crucial environmental factor that negatively influencing intent of quality management and regulatory revision on business aviation. This phenomena, on the other hand, will reduce the demand in the end. This result can serve as the reference information for government agency when defining industry policy; and also for airline industry or potential entrants that interested in business aviation for feasibility evaluation.

Development of the aviation industry to today, only just over a hundred years, from the Wright brothers in 1903 completed the world's first powered flight, since the rapid advances in aircraft, completely change human concept of time and space, the air transport industry development or inferiorCharacterization of a country's competitiveness, Taiwan's economic development to the export-oriented, so the increasing importance of the air transport industry, and even living in a leader's position. Aviation fuel for the bulk of airline costs, oil price level of profit will often around the amount of high oil prices, the profit would be severely eroded, and therefore, the airlines are actively replacement fuel consumption and poor performance models, extensive use of lighter, more fuel-efficient models to reduce the impact of oil prices on the airline. The study of SCP framework with a case by case basis, how Taiwan's airline industry by integrating the resources within their respective groups, create different strengths, and the government should play an active role in helping the industry to develop the best routes, waypoints and flights. Assist domestic airlines in the aviation industry gradually move the focus of the Asia-Pacific region, the top of the large airlines, and by the development of geographical advantages of passenger and cargo transshipment center in East Asia, in order to enhance their competitiveness. The current cross-strait routes of the most profitable gold route, our airlines should seize this great opportunity to expand the size of the economy and adjust physique to face the impact and challenges from the international open skies and low-cost budget airlines.

The businness and corporate aviation have already thrived in other countries; however Taiwan is just at the preliminary stage. Taiwan’s aviation industry is walking through the milestone of the cross-strait direct flight and the government is making an effort to revise civil aeronatic law in response to the cross-strait direct flight and business avaiation. Consequently, the prosperity and higher demand of the aviation industry is forseen. Hence, this research goes through the Pestel and Swot analysis which are used to appraise the feasibility accessment. For futher understanding the business availability of Business Aviation, the Air-Power software (Interactive Aircraft Budget Analyzer) is adoted for the cost analysis, and using Average Cost Pricing to analysis the business availability for break-even cost view . The study showed the large type aircraft has lowest operation cost and economic efficiency. Whatever the light type, the medium type or the large type; airfare is quite competitive when meeting appropriate flight hours.

Abstract:
The first low cost carrier phenomenon was observed in the US in the early 1970s even prior to deregulation in its domestic aviation in 1978. In the 1990s, this low cost evolution came across the Atlantic and it has been repeated in Europe. In Asia, the low cost challenge is a more recent phenomenon, but it is growing rapidly particularly in Southeast Asia, a unique region where economics and the aviation environment are unlike that of either the US or EU. This thesis thus asks a fundamental question of whether low cost carriers (LCCs) will enter and gain market share in Southeast Asia, in a similar fashion to what has happened in the US and EU. This thesis investigates two principal questions: (1) how serious a threat do Asian budget carriers pose to traditional state-owned carrier’s core business; we do this by examining what is the degree of demand substitutability among carriers?, (2) is there any risk of cannibalization in the ’airline within an airline model’ in this region, implying the major carrier’s launch of a low cost offshoot may not be a sustainable strategy to respond to low cost competition. Discrete choice models, multinomial logit (MNL) and nested logit (NL) models have been applied to estimate the factors affecting carrier choices based on data obtained from a passenger survey conducted at Bangkok International Airport in November 2005. The demand substitutability analysis reveals that for short haul leisure market, low cost carriers can easily penetrate this market with low fare no frills offerings. Short haul leisure passengers do not value differences in product offerings between network carrier and low cost carrier, and among the low cost carriers. Unlike leisure passengers, business passengers do value the competitive distance between the two different types of products offered by legacy carriers and low cost carriers. Market share simulations have provide some evidence of cannibalization in airline within an airline between Thai Airways and its low cost subsidiary Nok Air. The cause of their inadvertent self-cannibalization comes from the incompatibility and inadequate level of uniqueness and distinction between the mainline parent and its low cost offshoot.
