Full textAbstract:
The leisure industry has been one of the fastest growing industries in Britain (Grade, 1998), and in the year 2000 accounted for approximately 10% of Britain's gross domestic product (LeisureWeek, 2000a). Health clubs have been one of the fastest developing business sectors within the leisure industry (Mintel, 1999), and there is predicted to be plenty of scope for future growth (Mintel, 2001). The health club sector has evolved greatly since its inception, with developments including consolidation, diversification, bi-polarisation and market segmentation. One of the most recent trends in the sector has been intenationalisation, with fifteen British companies now having a presence overseas. This research seeks to analyse the process by which the British health club sector has developed from being purely domestic based to having significant overseas investment. A number of stages within that process are identified including the motives to internationalise, the choice of country, the mode of entry utilised and the management and co-ordination of overseas activities. One of the key objectives of this research is to determine if a holistic view of internationalisation is appropriate, or even plausible for the health club sector. The research suggests that the influence of environmental and company-factors results in a company's initial decision to internationalise, with certain 'determinants' regulating which companies actually invest overseas. A number of ownershipspecific factors are identified that establish which companies might be able to compete effectively overseas. The process of internationalisation. is then analysed and a number of factors established which influence the companies' choice of country to invest in, the mode of entry and the manner in which the overseas investments are managed.

Full textAbstract:
To maintain a competitive edge in the tourism and hospitality industries, considerable emphasis has been placed on providing quality services for customers. While the work attitudes and behaviours of staff who deliver these services can influence the experiences of service by customers, little is known how internal and external aspects of the environment of an organisation with a controversial service affect the empowerment, work attitudes and well-being of its employees. The aim of the present program of research was to identify employees' perceptions of the salient aspects of the internal and external environment of an organisation delivering a controversial service, gambling, and to examine the impact of these environmental aspects on the empowerment, commitment and well-being of its employees. Working in any service organisation can be demanding for employees, exacerbated when employees deliver a controversial service such as gambling, and work in close proximity to people who gamble. Research indicates that delivery of a gambling service differs from the delivery of other recreational pursuits due to the negative personal, social, and financial impacts of gambling on problem gamblers and others. These negative costs of gambling have generated long standing ethical or moral objections within the community, and, because of the range of community views about gambling, employees who deliver gambling services are likely to be confronted with opposing community views. By interacting with patrons, employees may also question their values and attitudes to gambling, and feel concerned about those patrons who they consider may have a problem with gambling. Organisational resources that facilitate the empowerment, work attitudes and well-being of employees may exist, however, and reduce the negative effects of any gambling-related influences on employees. A mixed methods research design, consisting of two sequential phases, was used. The methods complemented each other, and minimised the disadvantages of using only one approach. A qualitative method was used in the first phase of the program to collect rich descriptions of the experiences of twenty staff working in seven Queensland clubs with gambling services in South East Queensland. The in-depth interviews helped to identify gambling-related challenges and climate-based resources of the internal and external work environments of the service organisation. The gambling-related challenges included community and media attitudes to gambling, peoples' demands on clubs, and staff beliefs about patrons who gamble. The climate-based resources included the organisational welfare of employees, expressed as meeting employees' needs for respect, developing supportive relationships with staff, encouraging open and clear communication, and the provision of social support. Organisational emphasis on quality service and meeting the needs of patrons also served as a climate-based resource for employees. The qualitative process additionally examined the impact of these factors on the empowerment, commitment and well-being of the employees, allowing the development of a conceptual model of the environmental factors of a gambling industry predicting employees' empowerment, commitment, and well-being. In the second phase of the research program, the conceptual model was tested using a cross-sectional survey. A complex, stratified, random sampling technique allowed access to a sample of clubs and participants that best represented registered and licensed clubs in Queensland. A self-administered mail questionnaire was sent to 468 employees over 41 Queensland clubs with 25 to 280 poker machines. After firstly establishing the soundness of the measurement properties of the model using confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modelling was used to test the utility of the conceptual model developed in Study 1. Overall, Study 2 supported several of the proposed links, suggesting that the conceptual model developed in Study 1 was useful for examining the salient aspects of the external and internal environments of a club that influence staff empowerment, commitment, and well-being. The study showed the role of climate-based resources in a gambling industry by indicating that those employees who had positive perceptions about employee relations, positive beliefs about patron welfare, and felt supported by their supervisors, felt more empowered, and reported higher commitment and reduced emotional exhaustion. Employee relations was the most influential construct in predicting empowerment, and indirectly affected commitment and well-being (mediated by the empowerment dimensions). Study 2 also confirmed that gambling-based challenges of the external and internal environments impacted on the empowerment and well-being of employees. Those employees who believed that the community supported gambling reported an increased sense of influence over their work environment. The employees who held positive beliefs about patrons who gamble, reinforced gambling in clubs, and attributed the causes of problems in gambling onto sources outside themselves (mostly to the patrons), reported more positive well-being. Employees who perceived that people were demanding, and were not appreciative of what clubs did for the community reported reduced meaningfulness, a reduced sense of influence over their duties and work environment, and reduced well-being. Findings also illustrated the key role of influence, and, in particular, the meaningfulness dimension, in the empowerment, commitment, and well-being of employees in an industry delivering a gambling service. The findings of this research have implications for managerial interventions designed to promote the empowerment, commitment and well-being of employees who deliver a gambling service. By developing and strengthening the organisational resources that facilitate the empowerment, work attitudes and well-being of employees, managers are also likely to reduce the negative effects of the demands and conflicting influences of the external and internal gambling-related challenges on employees. This research program is distinctive in that research has not previously examined the impact of internal and external challenges and resources of a gambling industry on the empowerment, work attitudes, and well-being of its employees. There has, also, been no prior research focused on the work attitudes of employees in the Queensland club industry. Future research needs to replicate the findings of the present research program. The challenges and resources that were found to affect employees in the club industry, however, may be organisation specific. There is, therefore, a need for further research that compares the impact of factors related to the delivery of a gambling service in the club industry with different gambling industries, such as the hotel and casino industries. To provide further insight into the effects of empowerment on employees' work outcomes, a performance measure, such as patron satisfaction could be included. Future studies could also examine group differences in perceptions of climate-based and gambling-related influences on the empowerment, work attitudes and well-being of employees, as a function of their occupational level. The interviews of the present research program implied that employees in different organisational positions might respond differently to both the external and internal environmental factors of the organisation.

Full textAbstract:
Though the workforce in the United States is comprised of more than 50% women, women hold only 26% of professional computing jobs, and at some companies the percentage is even lower (National Center for Women & Information Technology, 2011). This study aims to examine whether employees within the tech industry have an implicit association between the concepts of “maleness” and “tech”. Participants will complete a priming task, an Implicit Association Test, and a survey about existing sexist beliefs and their jobs. The Expectation States Theory (Eagly, Beall, & Sternberg, 2004) suggests that all participants will have an implicit association between these concepts, though participants primed with an article about a man in tech and participants from companies with more men overall, in leadership, and in tech positions will have a stronger bias. Additionally, the Unified Theory (Greenwald et al., 2002; Smeding, 2012) suggests that the proposed results will show that women working in tech positions have a slightly weaker bias, and priming about a woman in tech will not reverse the bias. If implicit biases are addressed within the tech industry, these fixes can help the field maintain its upward trajectory by becoming an inclusive space for men and women.

Full textAbstract:
Background The external requirements for the European top clubs within the UEFA football industry are changing. Due to mismanaged finances during a significant period of time derived from the clubs’ ruthless aim for short-term sporting success, UEFA (The Union of European Football Association) has decided to change the rules of the game. UEFA’s newly implemented financial fair play regulations, with the main requirement of breaking even, force clubs that aim to participate in future UEFA competitions to drastically improve their financial performance. Consequently, we are witnessing a fundamental shift in the European top club’s upcoming strategy. From now on, the club must go from pursuing a short-term strategy almost exclusively based on the quest for sporting success, to successfully implement a long-term strategy that besides being based on the main purpose of sporting success also is characterized by the quest for financial success. Purpose The purpose with this thesis is to provide guidance towards the European top club’s adjustment to UEFA financial fair play and its simultaneous achievement of competitive advantage within the changing UEFA football industry. Approach With the more decisive aim for profitability, the similarities between the European top club and a profit-seeking firm become evident. Consequently, the authors apply and adapt business strategic management theories to formulate a long-term strategy based on the simultaneous achievement of profitability and improved sporting performance. Results Formulating a long-term strategy based on the simultaneous quest for financial and sporting success, the authors finally come to an understanding of how the European top club possibly could comply with financial fair play and simultaneously create conditions for competitive advantage within the changing UEFA football industry.

Resumo: O trabalho aborda uma parcela da vasta e heterogênea trajetória do Clube da Esquina no campo da MPB (Música Popular Brasileira). Esse grupo de músicos, letristas e amigos, inicialmente gestado em Belo Horizonte/MG em meados dos anos 1960, atingiu o ápice fonográfico na primeira metade da década seguinte, conjugando um aguçado caráter experimental e coletivo na elaboração de seus discos e canções. Tomando como referência esses dois momentos, as análises almejaram problematizar as particularidades estético-musicais e filosóficas da turma, suas relações com outros artistas e com a gravadora EMI-Odeon e suas variadas respostas culturais ao contexto político-social no qual estava inserida. A pesquisa também pretendeu por em destaque os processos que, na passagem dos anos 1970 a 1980, demarcaram a diluição do Clube da Esquina como uma formação cultural. A observância desse período permitiu estender as investigações para abarcar algumas recentes iniciativas e lutas simbólicas que visam garantir ao Clube da Esquina certo reconhecimento e legitimação no atual rol de debates acerca da MPB
Abstract: The research intends to verify the heterogeneous trajectory of Clube da Esquina in the field of MPB (Brazilian Popular Music). This group of musicians, songwriters and friends, gestated in Belo Horizonte/MG in the mid-1960s, reached the phonograph peak in the first half of next decade, combining a pointed collective and experimentally character in the preparation of their albums and songs. About these two moments, the analyses explored some aesthetic-musical and philosophical aspects of the group, their relationships with others artists and with the label EMIOdeon and their cultural answers to social-political context. This academic work also examined the processes that, in the passage of the years 1970 to 1980, staked the dissolution of Clube da Esquina as a cultural formation. To observe that period allowed extending the investigations for study some recent initiatives and symbolic struggles that have ensured recognition and legitimacy to the Clube da Esquina in the current debates about MPB

Club Chopper nace de la experiencia de vivir el mundo de las motocicletas Harley Davidson y de la observación de las conductas y actividades predominantes en los fanáticos de esta actividad. Efectivamente, al conocer a fondo este particular y específico mundo, se detectó la necesidad de contar con un lugar físico único, característico, que fuera capaz de acoger al mundo de las motocicletas de alta cilindrada de Santiago, ofreciéndole un conjunto de productos y servicios de una manera tal, que de inmediato los miembros de este grupo se hicieran parte de este concepto y lo adoptaran como su lugar, propio, personal, a su medida y deseo. Lo anterior sumado a la expansión del mercado de las motocicletas, donde se ha incrementado tres veces en volumen, entre 2005 y 2006, y con un aumento relevante para 2007 en la marca Harley Davidson, genera las condiciones óptimas para el desarrollo de este proyecto. La característica predominante de este mercado es la pertenencia, ser parte del mundo Harley. Éste además, es un referente y una aspiración para la mayor parte de los poseedores de motocicletas de otras marcas, siempre en el segmento “custom”, “chopper” o “bobber”. Esto lleva a detectar la necesidad de crear un lugar donde los “Harlistas” y otros motociclistas puedan reunirse frecuentemente, a diario muchos de ellos y donde además puedan satisfacer todas sus necesidades al respecto, desde la adquisición de una motocicleta nueva o usada, hasta la obtención de servicios para sus motocicletas, vestimenta, accesorios, repuestos y encuentro con amigos. Con lo anterior, ‘Club Chopper’ es un conglomerado comercial que consta de tres áreas básicas: a) Tienda de motos, vestimenta, accesorios y repuestos de la marca Harley Davidson, más venta y consignación de motocicletas usadas. b) Taller de mantención, servicios y transformaciones de motocicletas. c) Un pub – restaurant temático. Las tres áreas configuradas en una conformación física tal que se genere un espacio cálido, específico y único donde se pueda practicar y disfrutar de este “estilo de vida”. El negocio base es la venta de motocicletas marca Harley Davidson, para lo cual, en un inicio, se importarán las unidades desde un dealer de Estados Unidos, para, posteriormente, trabajar en la obtención de un contrato con Harley Davidson para transformarnos en dealer autorizado e importar las unidades directamente desde la matriz. Asimismo, los demás productos para la venta (vestimenta, accesorios y repuestos) también seguirán este modelo de desarrollo. El taller se desarrollará sobre la base de uno de los actuales talleres no oficiales de la marca en Chile, el cual es propiedad de uno de los personajes líderes en este ambiente y quien se incorporará a Club Chopper, aportando su conocimiento técnico, experiencia, cartera de clientes y su imagen, característica altamente relevante para el éxito del proyecto. Finalmente, se creará un pub restaurant, con ambientación ad-hoc, una carta sencilla y espacios adecuados para las reuniones periódicas de diferentes grupos de motociclistas. La particularidad es la unidad, la que dará sinergia a las tres áreas, potenciará la actividad individual y generará la característica distintiva y única del proyecto. Club Chopper se ubicará en la comuna de Las Condes, en un local arrendado, el cual se deberá remodelar para albergar la configuración adecuada de las tres actividades. Hemos estimado la inversión inicial en un monto de MM$ 270, donde la mayor parte se dedica a la remodelación del local, más la importación de un stock de motocicletas y demás ítems tanto en artículos personales como repuestos y accesorios para las motos y la implementación del restaurant. Pese a las conservadoras proyecciones de ventas, el proyecto tiene la capacidad de recuperar la inversión inicial al cuarto trimestre del segundo año de operaciones. La competencia directa que enfrentará Club Chopper será la del actual distribuidor para Chile de la marca e indirectamente, los importadores de otras marcas de motos de este segmento como Yamaha, Honda y Suzuki. Estimamos que el distribuidor H-D, por lejos el líder en el segmento, como las demás marcas, no han explotado adecuadamente los conceptos subyacentes en este mercado, por lo que Club Chopper ingresará al mercado con claras ventajas competitivas y, dada la estructura de nicho, con un rápido posicionamiento como “el lugar propio de los Harlistas” y otros motociclistas, imagen que claramente será atractiva también para un público general.

El Club Amantes de la Cerveza fue creado para abordar una necesidad insatisfecha en el mercado del consumo de la cerveza de la región metropolitana. Dado el crecido aumento de la demanda de cerveza (6% anual) y su tendencia a la baja en la estacionalidad, se genera una tremenda oportunidad de negocio en esta industria. Lo más destacado en el aumento de la demanda de las cervezas, es la aparición del nicho de las cervezas Premium, el cual ha aumento un 15 % anual y ha ido tomando mayor relevancia, con un público más exigente y más informado. Es aquí donde se crea la oportunidad de negocio, ya que en Chile existen más de 300 tipos de cervezas Premium que en la práctica el consumidor, no diferencia, ni tampoco conoce. Es por esto que se visualiza la creación de una comunidad, que debe entregar información de todos los tipos de cervezas y debe enseñar a los clientes como diferenciar sabores y calidades de las distintas cervezas. Es aquí donde se crea El CAC (Club Amantes de la Cerveza), para que todos aquellos potenciales clientes que quieran aprender y recibir los beneficios de beber las mejores cervezas Premium en el País. El CAC contara con tres unidades de negocio distintas, pero apalancadas entre sí. La primera se refiere al ingreso a cada una de las 3 membrecías que se entregan: Clasic, Top y Premium Bear, que trata de la entrega de un pack de cervezas Premium a domicilio y beneficios asociados a cada tipo de membrecía. La segunda de las unidades de negocio, es una cervecería ubicada en Providencia, en la que se venderá todo el abanico completo de las cervezas, que se entregarán a través de las membrecías y que serán atendidos por vendedores capacitados para poder guiarlos en la experiencia de como beber una cerveza Premium, por ejemplo: temperatura ideal, que comida se recomienda acompañar, etc. Y por último se contará con una sala de convenciones, la cual presenta un concepto diferente en el arriendo de espacios para reuniones, con el objetivo principal de entregar gran comodidad y confort al momento de realizar una reunión, complementado con la adición de servicios, tales como catas y degustaciones con sus respectivos maridajes de cerveza, para aquellos clientes que quieran hacer una presentación distinta a sus invitados. Toda esta propuesta de valor está orientada a generar sinergias entre las todas unidades de negocio y lograr generar una ventaja competitiva que deben percibir los clientes en este fascinante nuevo mundo, en nuestro país. Todo lo anterior genera una gran oportunidad para inversionistas que quieran invertir en un rentable negocio, visualizándose una tasa interna de retorno superior al 45% al cabo de 5 años, que está asegurado por la creciente demanda de este tipo de productos (15% anual), y que se encuentra en línea de la evolución del consumidor chileno.

Full textAbstract:
Globalization has opened up new markets. Companies have now endless opportunities to expand their business reachwith sportsclubs being no exception. Internationalization in sports has its beginnings with foreign players joining a team and changed in 1995 with the Bosman ruling. After the Bosman ruling, the transfer of international players became easier. Not only can one notice the internationalization of sports teams by the transfer of players but also by the expansion of the sports itself. The NFL plays home games in London, the NBA in Mexico City and FC Bayern Munich has opened subsidiaries in the US and China. Yet, this all seems like the whole sports industry is expanding. However, the influences behind this drive are unclear. The purpose of this thesis is to gain an understanding of internationalization in the sports industry. As the current literature indicates several gaps regarding the internationalization of sports clubs such as the limited view on one sport at the time or the data usage of clubs in their internationalization process, this thesis focuses on offering a broaderpicture. Therefore, the research question formulated for this thesis is:What influences the internationalization in the sports industry?For answering the research questions and fulfill the purpose of this thesis, an inductive approach was selected with a qualitative exploratory research study. By mixing the pur-posive and self-selected sampling, six semi-structured interviews were conductedamong different sports clubs. The findings indicate that there are several different influences in the internationalization process of sports clubs. Leagues and their ambitions are one direct influence. Here, the leagues statutes seem to be guidelines forthe clubs and their perspec-tives on growing. Another influence are the market conditions, where one can distinguish between the home market and foreign market conditions. There are some markets that do not allow much for further grow, as another sport is dominating the industry. For that reason, expanding internationally becomes necessary. Yet, some clubs see more potential on the home market to expand their scope and are thus, not thinking of internationalizing soon. Also influencing the internationalization are partnerships. Partnerships, either new or existing ones, offer the benefit of having knowledge or a business network the club can potentially benefit from. This study contributes to the literature of sports teams’ internationalization by adding the underlying concept of influences in the process. Understanding the influences will not only support the eventual internationalization but also offers the opportunity to unite or-ganizations in their efforts.

Full textAbstract:
Amidst a considerable body of literature on erotic dance, the voices of third parties, that is, the people who organize, supervise, manage or coordinate the labour of dancers, seldom appear. Yet, these third parties provide a setting and services that are vital to dancers’ entrepreneurial success. Furthermore, perceptions of third parties as exploitative and coercive perpetuate framings of erotic dance – and sex work in general – as harmful, which in turn invisibilize dancers’ work, as well as their skills, labour rights and grievances. Drawing from qualitative interviews with 15 third parties and 15 dancers, as well as regional regulatory texts, this dissertation seeks to trouble these stigmatic assumptions by shedding light on the work of third parties and the organization of labour in Ontario’s erotic dance sector.
Mapping the occupational roles and relationships amongst third parties (e.g., managers, bouncers, disc jockeys) reveals the organizational structure and peripheries of the strip club. Through this map, we see how third parties together form the organizational structure, which operates as a parallel entity to dancers who, as independent contractors, are for the most part responsible for their own work activities and income. At the same time, because dancers and third parties must equally provide quality service to their shared customers, they are both interdependent on, and independent of, each other. This relationship ‘plays out’ through occupational and situationally adaptive performances, which reiterate and resist normative gender, racial, and class scripts to produce the ‘party’ environment of the strip club. Simultaneously ambiance and organizational culture, the ‘party’ environment shapes third parties’ and dancers’ occupational performances for, and perceptions of, each other. The continuity of performance required to maintain this environment also results in third parties reproducing certain regulatory discourses and mechanisms in their surveillance and rule enforcement practices, and disregarding and subverting others, which in turn impacts upon dancers’ safety. Third parties’ relationships with each other and dancers are also permeated by stigma, stereotypes and perceptions of risk that echo regulatory and broader social discourses. These findings demonstrate that third parties’ engagement with regulation and normative discourses are deeply inter-related and impact the quality of the services they provide to dancers. On this basis it is argued that the context and conditions of dancers’ labour will be improved by rethinking narrow-minded regulatory frameworks and social norms.

La deuxième partie examine les procédures multilatérales de renégociation de dettes, en particulier la restructuration des dettes publiques bilatérales dans le cadre du club de paris ainsi que les problèmes complexes poses par la défaillance des emprunteurs souverains et la renégociation de la dette contractée envers les banques commerciales. Elle analyse de manière approfondie le cadre institutionnel et légal, la pratique des négociations, les termes et modalités du réaménagement ainsi que la nature et le contenu des accords de rééchelonnement. La troisième partie concerne le rôle du fonds monétaire international dans les renégociations de dettes et le lien entre l'accord du rééchelonnement et l'adoption d'un programme d'ajustement économique soutenu par le fonds. De même, elle analyse le système de gestion de la dette internationale et les propositions alternatives formulées en vue de résoudre la crise de l'endettement et souligne l'insuffisance des mesures transitoires appliquées jusqu'à présent. Les principales conclusions de cette étude montrent qu'une approche à long terme impliquant un programme réaliste de remboursement des dettes serait nécessaire pour préserver à la fois les intérêts des créanciers et la croissance des pays débiteurs. L’adoption d'une telle approche demanderait de reconsidérer les modalités actuelles de renégociation de dettesThis dissertation analyzes external debt problems of developing countries and the arrangements made for restructuring official and commercial bank debt. It assesses three key issues: part I provides a background to current difficulties and summarizes some vital factors that explain why the international debt problem has acquired a new dimension. Following a description of trends in the growth of external indebtedness of developing countries, the major sources of recent debt servicing difficulties are discussed. Part ii analyzes multilateral debt restructurings with official and bank creditors. It focuses on official multilateral debt rescheduling conducted under the auspices of the Paris club and addresses the issues of particular difficulty involved in resolving debt problems between sovereign borrowers and private lenders. It also reviews the international rules governing the legal treatment of sovereign debt restructuring, the institutional arrangements adopted, the framework of renegotiations and the patterns and terms of rescheduling. Part iii examines the role of the international monetary fund in debt restructuring operations and the linkage between the rescheduling exercise and the adoption of economic adjustment programs. It involves a detailed analysis of the management of the international debt crisis, with particular emphasis on the inadequacies of current rescheduling patterns and on alternative proposals for restructuring developing countries international indebtedness. Problems of debtor countries policy coordination on external debt negotiations are also dealt with in detail. Major conclusions reached in this study reveal that the rescheduling agreement should be tailored to the needs of the debtor countries. A long term approach would be more appropriate in reducing the debt service burden. In these respect formulas linking debt service payments to a certain percentage of export receipts may be an option worth considering. Such long term approach may well require serious rethinking of current debt renegotiation practices

Doutoramento em GestãoEsta dissertação visa estudar a performance corporativa dos clubes ingleses de futebol profissional, bem como os determinantes da performance dos clubes, com destaque para o efeito dos jogadores formados pelas Academias. O estudo evidencia existir uma associação positiva e significativa entre a performance financeira e desportiva dos clubes ingleses ao longo das épocas de 1993/94 a 2010/11. Os testes de cointegração indicam a existência uma relação estrutural de longo-prazo entre as variáveis desportivas e financeiras. Este estudo proporciona suporte à corrente da literatura que refere a maximização da performance desportiva sujeita a uma restrição de sustentabilidade financeira de longo prazo, como os principais objectivos dos clubes de futebol. Os testes de causalidade de Granger mostram que existe relações causais diferenciadas entre clubes. Os jogadores formados pelos próprios clubes tiveram um impacto negativo no desempenho desportivo e receitas, mas um efeito positivo na redução dos gastos salariais. A opção por jogadores formados por outros clubes ingleses teve uma influência negativa na performance desportiva, mas um efeito positivo na rendibilidade e despesas salariais dos clubes. Os resultados sugerem a necessidade de melhorar a produtividade do sistema de desenvolvimento de jovens jogadores em Inglaterra. Finalmente, observámos que os clubes ingleses são heterogéneos sinalizando a existência de peculiaridades em cada clube que são importantes para compreender o a performance alcançada e como desenvolvem as suas vantagens competitivas sustentáveis.
This dissertation examines the corporate performance of English professional football clubs and the determinants of clubs’ performance, with particular emphasis on homegrown locally-trained players. The study shows that there is a positive and significant association between the financial and sporting performance of English clubs over the 1993/94 to 2010/11 seasons. Cointegration tests show that sporting performance and financial variables are linked by a set of long-run structural relationship. Our study lends supports to the theoretical stream that argues that the maximisation of sporting goals, subject to constraint of long- term financial sustainability, are the two main objectives of football clubs. Granger causality tests show that there are different causal relationships between clubs. Homegrown club-trained players had a negative impact on the sporting performance and revenue functions, yet they had a positive effect on reducing salary expenditure. Association-trained players option had a negative influence on the sporting performance function, but a positive effect on profitability and wage expenses for English football clubs. The results suggest that there is a need to improve the productivity of the system for developing young players in England. Finally, we observed that English clubs are heterogeneous, which signals that idiosyncrasies exist in each club, which is important for understanding both performance and how to develop sustainable competitive advantages.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse explore d’abord les conditions de la disparition des salles de cinéma traditionnelles en Afrique de l’Ouest et spécifiquement au Tchad, en pointant les causes multifactorielles : technologiques, économiques, politiques et financières qui ont conduit à la transformation de ces salles en locaux commerciaux ou en lieux de culte. Elle examine les processus de mise en place de structures particulières au continent africain : centres culturelsrégis par des congrégations, par des ambassades ou par l’Etat tchadien, mais surtout « vidéoclubs» ou « ciné-clubs », établissements informels de diffusion cinématographique omniprésents dans le paysage urbain en Afrique. L’analyse détaillée de ces dispositifs comme entreprises familiales, comme lieux de sociabilité et comme vecteurs d’une forme abâtardie de culture cinématographique est au cœur de cette recherche. Elle a permis d’identifier les logiques économiques de ces acteurs en tant que maillons d’une chaîne qui part des entreprises nigérianes ou camerounaises de reproduction de supports piratés et aboutit au public lui-même.A partir d’entretiens conduits avec un échantillon de spectateurs, nous avons étudié leurs habitudes de fréquentation, leurs comportements, mais aussi l’expression de leurs attachements aux films qui leur sont proposés. Ceci constitue le second axe fort de ce travail,notamment en ce qui concerne le rapport qu’entretiennent ces publics avec le cinéma tchadien et, plus largement, avec la fiction cinématographique. Cette thèse pose enfin les bases d’une réflexion sur le rôle que pourrait jouer l’Etat pour améliorer les conditions de diffusion et de réception du cinéma africain sur le territoire nationalThis study explores the conditions surrounding the closure of traditional movie theatres inWest Africa, particularly in Chad. It will look at the multi-facetted causes, such as thetechnological, economic, political and financial reasons which have led to the transformationof these cinemas into shops or places of worship.It examines the process of setting up film-viewing alternatives that seem typical of Africa:cultural centers run by church congregations, embassies or the Chadian government andespecially “video-clubs” or “cine-clubs”, informal establishments of cinema distributionfound throughout the African urban landscape.The detailed analysis of these devices as family businesses, social venues and vectors of abastardized form of cinema culture is at the heart of this research. It allows us to identify theeconomic impact of these players as links in the process that takes a movie from itsreproduction in pirated form by Nigerian or Cameroon companies through to screening beforea Chadian audience.Through interviews conducted within a sample of spectators, we have studied their cinemahabits, behaviour and attachment to the films proposed.The latter is the second main axis of this study, particularly concerning the relationship thatthese audiences maintain with Chadian cinema, and, in a broader context, with cinema fictionitself. This thesis lays the foundations for a reflection on the role that the State could play inimproving the conditions of distribution and reception of African cinema throughout Chad

Full textAbstract:
This thesis introduces the concept of Online Mediated Commensality (OMC) as an example of contemporary hospitality provision. Since the beginning of the twenty-first century an increase of exchanges of hospitality being mediated using online technologies has changed the way in which individuals interact and challenges the traditional boundaries between strangers. While some research has been done on accommodation, little has been researched on the interactions around the meal and the online mediation of experiences. The aim of this research is to explore the role and significance of OMC and its place in contemporary hospitality provision. Through a detailed review of academic literature on concepts relating to commensality, hospitality, alternative economies and home, a conceptual understanding of the phenomenon was achieved. Due to the paucity of research on the OMC phenomenon, a review of recent non-academic and anecdotal sources (newspaper articles, reviews, books relating to experiences of OMC) was used scope the phenomenon's contemporary significance. Due to the exploratory nature of this research, and the social nature of the phenomenon, a qualitative approach to research is used to gain insight into the interactions, behaviours and social practices of those participating. Two stages of research material collection are used (Autoethnographic Participant Observation and Discussion-style Interviews) to critically understand and interpret the phenomenon. The findings identified a number of social practices around the shared meal. Interpretations of the phenomenon resulted in the identification of the ‘Home-food Economy', in which OMC is placed, which embodies and embraces ethical, shared and innovative dimensions of an alternative economy. Attractions of the phenomenon are identified as being that it is different to mainstream hospitality provision and is strongly associated with ‘traditional' norms and values relating to family, background, nationality and identity. Interactions and social practices are identified as being fleeting, transient, momentary experiences of hospitality which rarely transcend the setting of the meal. These interactions are conceptualised within a proposed ‘Social Interaction Capital', which represents the nature of social interactions experienced as well as its presence within a liquid, fluidly mobile contemporary society. The study has identified a social phenomenon which is constructed within the confines, conditions or thresholds of hospitality. In terms of future implications, this thesis suggests that while OMC will not achieve prominence over mainstream hospitality provision, it will continue to develop and grow in popularity for those who are interested in the more alternative, socially orientated experiences of hospitality and the meal. Further research on OMC could take a global perspective and highlight any cultural/social differences relating to commensality and its online mediation. Similarly, Social Interaction Capital could be further elaborated on in a range of hospitality settings to articulate its reach and contextualisation within hospitality studies and its place within contemporary society.

Full textAbstract:
Within the accepted historiography of photography, the importance of George Eastman and the Eastman Kodak Company (EKC) has become unassailable. They have been placed as the key, and often sole, agent in “revolutionizing” the amateur photography market in the late nineteenth century. While the photographic landscape and market of 1885-1914 was indeed radically altered, the historiographical dominance of what can be identified as the “Kodak story” has obscured the means through which EKC’s successful re-structuring of the existing manufacturing and distribution networks of photographic materials occurred. I argue that the changes effected by Eastman and the EKC began not with imaging desires, but with their acknowledgment, and profound understanding of the existing and competing interests within the photographic industry. This thesis focuses on the EKC’s re-structuring of the extant and evolving communities involved in the manufacturing and distribution of photographic materials in Canada between 1885-1910. Focusing particularly on the period immediately surrounding the establishment of the Canadian Kodak Co. Limited in 1899, I demonstrate the re-structuring processes at work, including: market and financial diversification; governmental lobbying; purchase and mergers; and other business and marketing-based strategies. I frame my theoretical positions and analysis of network re-structuring through the experiences of Ottawa professional photographer and photographic business owner William James Topley (active 1868-1907), and CKCoLtd manager John Garrison Palmer (active 1886-1921). Topley and Garrison’s professional experiences and interactions with expanded communities of photographic consumers and industry participants provide an opportunity for specific and detailed findings which challenge understandings of the evolution of the practice of photography during this transitional period. In doing so, I provide evidence of the primary role network re-structuring played in the EKC’s ability to shape the wider international photographic industry to their advantage in the early twentieth century.

The Study of Taiwan Health & Fitness Club Industry Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the current status of the Taiwan Fitness Club industry. One hundred and twelve health & fitness clubs in five different categories were selected in Taiwan. A Questionnaire was designed and sent to the 112 club managers. 6 were invalid after verifying by phone calls. Data collection was implemented through interviews and questionnaires. The valid returns were 61 (63.54 %). A test of descriptive statistics was used for data analysis. There were seven major parts of the questions including membership data, club facilities, programs and activities, operation hours, membership fee structures, personnel and marketing strategies. Majority of the Taiwan heath & fitness clubs is located in the northern region with the membership size of 500-2000, singles club, and established after 1981. The results show that: 1. Different category of club shows no differences in facilities, cardiovascular, weight and tested equipment. The equipment is diversifying, but the numbers of equipment are low. Different category of club shows no difference in programs and activities. 2. Different category of club shows no difference in the weekday and weekend operation hour, peak hours and non--peak hours operation. Different category of club shows large difference in part time, full time staff, and aerobic instructors employed, but no difference in other staff. Sales staff employed in multi-purposed clubs is more than other category clubs is. There are great differences in entry fees and deposit. Not much difference on the monthly fee. 3. There are no differences in the use of marketing strategies from different category of clubs. The top three marketing strategies are club brochure, magazine advertisement, and direct mailing. The findings may provide the government with useful guiding principles on establishing health & fitness management regulations, certifications and the design of program and curriculum modification.

Aged society has become one of the major topics in Taiwan; it results in reduced working age population, inequality in medical resources, and social isolation among the elderly. In order to improve such situation and emerging problems, the present study is to propose an innovative service, which enables the youth and the elderly to collaborate and create screenplay about life stories. The study aims to make the senior citizens realize their experience is valuable, and their life stories can apply in many ways and forms of arts, hence help them gain more confidence. On the other hand, college students major in theater and film can draw inspiration from the senior citizens’ sharing, produce original screenplay to enrich creative industry. Copyright of screenplays is the property of the service. To achieve these purposes, this study establishes two-sided platform to fulfill both the elderly’s demand for interactive learning and the demand in content from creative industry. The study firstly collect secondary data to conduct market research and understand existing creative aging activities, using these information to design the services of “Creative Content Club (CCC)” , and determine the target market and target audience. Then the study uses qualitative and quantitative approaches to verify the possibility of the proposal of CCC, and comprehend more about the potential customers, develop the business strategy and marketing plan of how CCC operates as a social enterprise.

This study is divided into two main parts to elucidate Taiwan’s golf clud head indsutry’s development. The first part is to analyse the connection between Taiwan’s golf clud head industry and the world via the US and Japanese customs statistics. Taiwan has manufactured semi- golf related products for US and Japanese multinational corporations for over 30 years. The semi-golf related products were also one of Taiwan’s most important exporting goods. During the period, Taiwanese firms also established a close production relationship with US and Japanese corporations. However, there were still many competitors in Mexico and America though Taiwanese-made product took an important portion of the global golf clud head production. After the 1990s, due to the rising labour cost on the island, Taiwnese firms gradually moved their production site to China. Taiwan holds precision casting and mold techniques, and research and development capability, together with China’s abundant and less expansive labour force, Taiwanese firms not only successfully kept their orders from foreign corporations but also defeated other competitors to be the largest golf clud head manufactaturers in the world. In other words, Taiwan’s industry cluster move to China is a success. The second part is to analyse Taiwan’s golf clud head industry’s development via the historical records. Taiwan’s techniques on manufacturing golf club head originated from abroad. Except for the highly connection between upstream and downstream producers, the industry cluster also allowed Taiwan to have more production flexibility. However, following the increases of Chinese labour cost, the emergence of Chinese private companies and the coming of ASEAN+1, how Taiwanese golf clud head industry can deal with these new challenges in the future will be discussed and adviced at the end of this study.

This thesis tries to research health-club industry in Taipei City , and probes into the industrial structure — using Alexander health club competitive positioning as an analysis. This text discusses this industry definition and analyze this industrial structure by five-force analysis to understand the competition structure of this industry. I also use strategic group analysis to probe into the competition structure of case company group, and to help case company to find out the competition positioning in the industry. This research obtains the conclusion as follows: (1) Due to the convenience of the mass transportation, people spend less traffic time access to the health club and they reduce their over all cost. It makes the industry domain extend to Taipei county. (2) The threat of industry competitors and buyers are high, but the threat of entry is low. (3) Among the industry, Alexander offers more physical fitness and recreation service than others. The potential entrants and other strategic groups can not affect Alexander which means Alexander still competitive in this industry. In accordance with the conclusion of studying, I offer three following suggestions about Alexander health club: (1) When Alexander evaluates to set up other branch near the Taipei Mass transportation in the future , it should find out the low rent with large floorage. Tues Alexander can reduce the operating cost and maintain service quality. (2) To cement cooperative mechanisms with other health clubs, suppliers and customers. It can reduce the intensity of industry competition and avoid the price competition. To communicate with the government and to make the regulation which is beneficial to industry development. (3) Since SPA service grows up very fast, Alexander should increase SPA related investment to set up higher entry barriers and mobility barriers. In order to develop preventing medical treatment, Alexander should integrate acupressure, regimen SPA, hydrotherapy serve, aerobic rehabilitation course , and increase personal trainer course.

Take care how you place your moccasins upon the earth, step with care, for the faces of the
future generations are looking upfrom the earth waitingfor their turnfor life - Lyoru, 1988
Increasing levels of pollution and the increase in demand for water and other resources by
industry led to a number of policies and regulations being developed and revised in South
Africa. According to the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (Act 108 of 1996),
everyone has the right to an environment that is not harmful to health or wellbeing. In order to
have the environment protected and sustained for future use, it became necessary to move away
from the traditional fragmented approach to pollution and waste management and focus on an
integrated strategy aimed at achieving a balance between ecological sustainability and socioeconomic
development.
In the Durban Metropolitan Area (DMA) , the Durban Metropolitan Council (Metro)
incorporated pollution prevention in their bylaws, which contained stringent discharge limits for
heavy metal concentrations. This posed a potential problem for metal fmishers who were
concerned about complying with these discharge standards. In addition, the metal finishing
industry was considered to be a significant contributor to the pollution load in the DMA, and
therefore needed to find suitable solutions to dealing with environmental problems, especially
waste management. Waste minimisation was believed to be a good tool for this industry to
utilise in order to reduce its pollution load. It was seen from the literature and case studies from
international initiatives that waste minimisation results in an improvement in process efficiency
and reductions in production costs and environmental impacts, generally at minimal costs.
A waste minimisation club was initiated for the metal finishing industry in the DMA in June
1998. The club consisted of twenty-nine members of which the majority were small and
medium sized companies. The club was run over a period of thirty months. A core group of
sixteen companies actively participated in the activities of the club.
During the period of investigation, a total of 391 waste minimisation options were identified for
club members and 147 of these options were implemented. This resulted in a total financial
saving in excess of R 4 million for the duration of the club's existence. The saving represents
combined savings in water, chemicals, metals, energy, effluent treatment, and waste disposal.
Corresponding environmental benefits were achieved including a reduced demand for water,
reduced toxicity of effluent from chemical and metal reduction, and a reduction in energy
requirements.
Four companies were investigated in detail and presented as case studies. These companies
showed that the payback on implementing waste minimisation options was mostly immediate.
The size of the companies was not critical in determining the level of success from running
waste minimisation programmes. Success depended mainly on commitment from companies
and motivation of project champions. It was found that the greatest barriers to implementing waste minimisation, as identified by
companies, were a lack of time, resources, and commitment. Companies joined the club mainly
for benefit of reducing costs and complying with legal standards.
Aside from successfully raising awareness and promoting the concept of waste minimisation,
the waste minimisation club also resulted in an improvement in the relationship between the
metal finishing industry and the Metro, and among club members.
Based on the results achieved by club members, and from managing the club, it was evident that
the club was effective in promoting waste minimisation in industry. For the future running of
clubs, it is recommended that waste minimisation assessment training be given to all employees
of a company. It would also be more useful if companies reported savings on a more regular
basis and more formally. In addition it is recommended that club membership should be limited
to between ten and fifteen companies to facilitate improved management of the club.Thesis (M.Sc.Eng.)-University of Natal,Durban, 2002.

As era of the cheap energy has become history and the consumption of natural resource keeps growing, it would be wise to conduct more actions to achieve the goal of environment protection of saving energy and reduce the carbon dioxide. People are more willing to paying higher to maintain good physical condition along with the growth of living standards. However the free time and space for people living a modern city is very limited so going to the health club (fitness gym) is a good substituted option. If gyms can take good advantage of the popular issue of environment protection of saving energy and reduce the carbon dioxide, and broadly adopt fitness equipment that generates electricity, there could be more clients who have a favor for this major trend. Not just being able to differentiate the enterprise itself, the operation cost could be reduced as well.

JEL M310 - MarketingJEL- M390 - OtherSports marketing has unique characteristics that may lead their audience in behave in completely different ways compared with all the others consumer’s profiles. BTV challenged the sports viewing industry not only by spoiling their own TV rights but also by including on their target people who support others teams beyond Benfica. In spite of this strategy has been considered at an initial stage as risky, BTV only in the first year accounted 30 Million Euros of revenues. The current study aims to study the impact that all the different sports contents powered by BTV have on BTV subscription, the influence of different club affiliation on BTV subscription and, the influence of price on BTV subscription. On the first part of the study a literature review was performed in order to understand different insights that were revealed as important to justify the results achieved. This was followed by an analyze of the current situation of televised sports industry in Portugal and BTV in particular. Regarding the contents, English Premier League and Benfica games played at home are by far, the contents that arouse more interest. The results reveal that there is a huge influence of different club affiliation on BTV subscription, particularly by Sporting and Porto supporters. The price perception of BTV is also influenced by different club affiliation, where Benfica supporters have different opinion regarding BTV price, when compared in particular with Sporting and Porto supporters. Other conclusions are highlighted on the last part of the dissertation.
O marketing desportivo tem características únicas que podem influenciar o público-alvo a comportar-se de forma diferente quando comparado com outros perfis de consumidores. A BTV desafiou a indústria televisiva, não só por deter os direitos do próprio clube, mas também por incluir no seu target pessoas que apoiam outros clubes. Considerada inicialmente uma estratégia de risco, a BTV atingiu, no seu primeiro ano, 30 milhões de euros em receitas. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o impacto dos conteúdos televisivos na subscrição da BTV, a influência do clubismo na subscrição da BTV, e a influência do preço na subscrição da BTV. Na primeira parte do estudo foi feita uma revisão literária com o intuito de compreender as diferentes perceções de forma a poder fundamentar e legitimar os resultados obtidos. Posteriormente foi feita uma análise à indústria das transmissões desportivas em Portugal e à BTV especificamente. Relativamente aos conteúdos desportivos, a Liga Inglesa e os jogos do Benfica em casa representam, com grande destaque, os conteúdos de maior interesse. Os resultados revelaram a existência de uma grande influência do clubismo na subscrição da BTV, particularmente no caso dos apoiantes do Sporting e Porto. A perceção de preço da BTV é também influenciada pelo fator anterior, onde se observa que os apoiantes do Benfica apresentam uma opinião muito diferente daquilo que são os resultados da análise aos apoiantes de Sporting e Porto. Outras conclusões estão presentes no final da dissertação.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship marketing between the club industry and its members. It is believed that the relationship commitment and trust is the main variables to a successful relationship marketing. The precursors of relation-ship commitment and trust will influence the member’s acquiescence、propensity to leave、cooperation、functional conflict and uncertainty via intervening variable of re-lationship commitment and trust. The study subjects are the members of the Taipei Golf Club. The researcher first adapted and modified the Key Mediating Variables (KMV) Model presented by Morgan and Hunt (1994) and raised hypotheses afterwards. Then, the linear structural relations model (LISREL) was used to conduct data analysis. The results of the study indicated that the cost of relationship termination, shared values, satisfaction with complaint han-dling, communication, and opportunistic behaviors had a significant impact on the rela-tionship commitment and trust. Especially, the cost of relationship termination and sat-isfaction with complaint handling would be more important to the member’s acquies-cence、propensity of leave、cooperation and functional conflict obviously. The study suggested that the club management should provide services with higher quality to increase the member’s difficulty of ending the relationship. More im-portantly, the club management should evaluate the policy and procedures of dealing member’s complaints, as well as the speed of complaint handling of the front-line em-ployees.

Extensive research has examined the essence of brand adoption yet sparse studies have explored the role of situational variants in determining brand adoption. This study proposes that customers drive for upward social mobility is the primary motivation for brand adoption, and hence, conspicuous consumption. Herein, role theory is used to explain how customers perform within a service encounter drama to ultimately move up the social ladder. Modeling this process, two variants, stage effect (SE) and audience effect (AE), are proposed to influence customers’ perceived brand reputation and brand performance, which ultimately determine the intensity of brand adoption. A survey of the golf club members in adopting their golf club brands was undertaken and the results supported the majority of the proposed model hypotheses. A modified model based on the findings of the study was provided later. Further, another similar study on the non-member golfers was also conducted for testing the same proposed model. Though, results of the later conducted study also supported the majority of the proposed model hypotheses, its performance of supporting the model was not as good as the previous study. Generally speaking, when the desire for social mobility is high, the roles of SE and AE as surrogates increase in importance for customer adoption of brands within a service drama. These findings have substantive implications for practitioners as service dramas have been shown herein to be a kind of stepping-stone to social mobility.
