Abstract:

The research question how green marketing is used as a competitive advantage was answered by the analysis of the multiple case-study of two organizations of the boardsports industry, Jade and Notox. The comparison between theories and interviews revealed that, by doing green branding, having eco-labels, and implementing the five I’s, Jade and Notox are differentiating. This differentiation provides them a competitive advantage. In addition, Jade and Notox innovate in green materials and processes which, coupled with eco-labels, maintain the differentiation and generate a sustainable advantage.

Abstract:

Competition among financial institutions in Korean household savings market (HSM) has become severe. Deposit money banks (DMBs) which have occupied the main prop of the Korean financial system have entered turbulent times mainly due to the relaxation of financial regulations which artificially provide a stabilized market environment, as well as the out-performance of non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs). Also, Korean households are becoming better educated, more sophisticated and richer in line with the increase in wealth of the nation. The market share of DMBs in HSM has gradually decli

Abstract:

In the practice of new product value creation there is a creative quest that product design and development practitioners must address when existing knowledge of practice proves inadequate but the development objective remains. Design practitioners often achieve new competitive advantages as the outcome of these creative quests, and yet truly innovative and competitive products are rare, as their efforts often fall short of the original design aims. In this study, the design process of the author, a product design practitioner with over thirty years of experience, has been investigated through

The fact that we have entered turbulent times has been a central theme in the recent strategy literature. Turbulent environments are commonly described by increased competitive intensity, disruptive changes in the industry structure, volatility of demand, and unpredictability of customer behaviour, alongside instability of economic, social and political factors. In such a context, the adoption of traditional approaches to strategy, which assumes a relatively stable world, have been questioned by new approaches.

Abstract:

Competition-based models predict that coexistence of trees and grasses in savannas may be possible if trees and grasses occupy different niches when exploiting limited resources such as water and nutrients. I investigated two competition-based models, each of them considering a different axis for niche separation: the two-layer hypothesis, which is based on differences in rooting depth, and the phenological niche separation hypothesis, which is based on differences in timing of resource acquisition. My results show that niche separation along environmental axes on spatial and/or temporal scale

Abstract:

This thesis contextualizes the English higher education restructuring in its analytic connection with the national and the global political economy. The analysis of the key drivers involved in the reshaping of the higher education sector from the 1980s onwards shape the contours of a complex framework where multiple actors and forces coexist and collide. Massification, marketization and competition constitute the underlying themes of the study: their synergy explains the internal reorganization of the Western mature education sectors. Within the latter, the English higher education has been an

Abstract:

Among the few papers that have studied intermodal competition and cooperation between high-speed rail (HSR) and airlines from an analytical point of view, it is assumed that the two modes are horizontally differentiated. However, empirical evidence seems to suggest that the two modes are vertically differentiated. The aim of this thesis is to study the effects of vertical differentiation between HSR and airlines on fares, traffic volumes and social welfare. The analysis is done for both competition and cooperation scenarios, and is conducted in an asymmetric network with hub airport runways be

Abstract:

Local governments do not operate in a vacuum. Instead, they are part of a complex “polycentric” system of governments where politically autonomous and self-ruled cities compete with one another over taxable wealth. Missing from the scholarship on metropolitan governance is an understanding of the factors driving competition among local governments. The purpose of this dissertation is to fill this gap by examining how interjurisdictional competition over economic development impacts a city’s choice of strategies for attracting business and residential investment and how those strategies affect
