Full textAbstract:
The role of consumers in product purchase is critical as the success of any firm depends majorly on how the brand is perceived and the intention to purchase such product. However most firms do not position their products in the minds of the consumers which consequently results to little or non-brand perception as well as non-purchase intention by consumers. This study investigated the effect of consumer brand perception variables and purchase intention of selected fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted for this study. The population of the study was 1,774,657 consumers of fast-moving consumer goods firms that reside in different local governments of the different five regions in Lagos state Nigeria, and a sample size of 499 was determined using Krejcie and Morgan. Primary source of data was adopted with a validated and instrument with a Cronbach alpha value greater than 0.7. Both descriptive and inferential tools were used for the data analysis. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the effect of the independent sub-variables on the dependent variable using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 27. The study indicated that consumer brand perception variables have significant effect on the purchase intention of selected fast-moving consumer goods firms in Lagos State, Nigeria (Adj. R2 = 0.573; F (4, 425) = 106.412, p < 0.05). The study concluded that consumer brand perception has significant effect on the purchase intention of selected fast-moving consumer goods firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study recommended that management of fast-moving consumer goods firms should prioritize developing and maintaining strong brand perception among consumers which will enhance purchase intention and firm’s profitability.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the ownership structure's effect on the firms' value of quoted manufacturing firms (consumer goods) in Nigeria for 2010-2018. The total numbers of quoted consumer goods firms in the Nigeria stock exchange as of 31st December 2018 were twenty-one (21). A judgmental sampling technique was used to sample nineteen (19) consumer goods firms for the study. The study sought to examine whether ownership structure proxy by managerial Ownership, Institutional Ownership, foreign Ownership, and ownership concentration affect firms' values of quoted consumer goods in Nigeria. Data were collected from secondary sources through the annual reports and accounts of sampled consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study adopted a panel regression technique as a tool of analysis. The result showed a negative effect of managerial ownership on firm value. While institutional Ownership, foreign Ownership, and Ownership concentration all positively affect the firm value of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommends that the numbers of shares held by management should be reduced to increase the firm value of the listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria.

The study investigated the effect of financial leverage on firm values of listed Consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to examine the effect of debt ratio, debt to equity ratio, interest coverage ratio, debt to EBITDA ratio, and debt to capital ratio (which are proxies for financial leverage) on firm values (proxied by market capitalization) of listed Consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study adopted ex-post facto research design and secondary data were extracted from the annual reports of sampled Consumer goods firms in Nigeria for the period 2013 – 2022. The panel regression and correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Findings showed that debt ratio has a non-significant negative effect on the market capitalization of Consumer goods firms in Nigeria, Debt to equity ratio has a non-significant negative effect on the market capitalization of Consumer goods firms in Nigeria, interest coverage ratio has a non-significant positive effect on the market capitalization of Consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Debt to EBITDA ratio and Debt to capital ratio have a significant positive effect on the market capitalization of Consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The implication of the findings is that the financial leverage ratios studied have a significant effect on the firm value of the Consumer goods companies in Nigeria. The study concluded that financial leverage ratios have a significant effect on firm value in the sector. The study recommended that firms in the Consumer goods sector should ensure that the proportion of leverage to equity should be properly managed and controlled to prevent the result of diminishing effects on their firm’s value.

Full textAbstract:
Consumer movement is a universal phenomenon. The goods or services available may be in abundance or in short supply, but the position of the consumer is weak, in relation to the seller. Sellers want customers, as buyers and not as complainants. The frustration and bitterness on the part of consumers, who have been promised much is indeed great, but they realise less. It can be due to the existence of sellers’ market, where consumers are voiceless. There are many practices whereby consumers are not only being denied their basic rights but are being deceived too. A consumer is an individual who consumes goods, manufactured by firms or created by nature (air, water etc.) and services offered by government hospital, educational institutions etc.

Consumers play a vital role in the success of organizations as their purchasing decision can have a significant impact on the organisation's performance. Therefore, it is important for organizations to maintain a positive brand perception in the minds of consumers. This can be achieved through excellent customer service. However, poor consumer brand perception could lead to a decline in purchase decision leading to low sales and possible organizational failure. This study investigated the effect of consumer brand perception variables and purchase decision of selected fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study was 1,774,657 consumers of fast-moving consumer goods firms that reside in different local governments of the different five regions in Lagos state Nigeria, and a sample size of 499 was determined using Krejcie and Morgan. The data was collected using a valid and reliable questionnaire with a Cronbach alpha value greater than 0.7. Both descriptive and inferential tools were used for the data analysis. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the effect of the variables using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 27. The study revealed that consumer brand perception variables have significant effect on the purchase decision of selected fast-moving consumer goods firms in Lagos State, Nigeria (Adj. R2 = 0.426; F (4, 425) = 59.236, p < 0.05). The study concluded that consumer brand perception has significant effect on the purchase decision of selected fast-moving consumer goods firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. It is recommended that management should invest in creating and maintaining strong brand perception among consumers to positively influence their purchase decisions. This can be achieved by developing effective branding and marketing strategies that focus on building brand awareness, attractiveness, positioning, associations, and image.

This study assesses the impact of monetary policy on the financial performance of the listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study uses the purposive sampling technique and elimination method to determine the considered listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria from 2012 to 2023 and analyzed the impact of monetary policy variables of interest rates and inflation rate on the financial performance of these firms, measured by earnings per share as the indicator. Regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The results specifically show that changes in interest rate have a positive significant influence on the financial performance of listed consumer goods firms while changes in inflation rate have no significant influence on the financial performance of listed consumer goods firms. The study recommends the implementation of interest rate policies by the monetary authority that will balance stability and economic growth knowing the positive impact on the financial performance of the consumer goods firms.

Full textAbstract:
The study examined the effect of intellectual capital on the financial performance of listed consumer and industrial goods firms in Nigeria from 2013 to 2022. The population of the study consisted of thirty-two (32) listed consumer and industrial goods firms on the Nigeria Exchange Group, from which a sample twenty-six (26) firms was chosen using the purposive sampling technique. The study used secondary data that was taken from the companies'financial statements, and it employed a longitudinal panel research design. The results showed that capital employed by the listed consumer and industrial goods firms in Nigeria has a positive and significant effect on the financial performance. However, the study found that human capital has no significant effect on the financial performance of listed consumer and industrial goods firms, while structural capital has a negative but significant effect on the financial performance. The study recommends that listed consumer and industrial goods firms should strategically invest to optimize capital employed as this will improve the financial performance.

Full textAbstract:
The study examined the effect of liquidity management on the financial performance of Nigerian consumer goods manufacturing firms. The study adopted an ex-post facto research design. The study depends wholly on secondary data collected from the annual report of 10 listed consumer goods manufacturing firms on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NEG) from 2018 to 2022. The dependent variable for the study is financial performance which was proxies as return on asset while the independent variables are cash and cash equivalent, cash conversion cycle, quick ratio, current ratio and working capital were as the dependent variable. Panel analysis was used in the study. E-views 12 statistical package was used to analyze the data. The study discovered that cash and cash equivalents exert positive and significant impact on financial performance of consumer goods firms, that there is negative and significant relationship between cash conversion cycle and financial performance of consumer goods in Nigeria, that there is negative and no significant relationship between quick ratio and financial performance of consumer goods firms in Nigeria, that there is positive and significant impact of current ratio on financial performance of consumer goods firms in Nigeria, that there is positive and significant impact of working capital on financial performance of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study concluded that liquidity management significantly affects the financial performance of Nigerian consumer goods manufacturing firms. The study recommended that management reduce the magnitude at which they use up cash and its equivalent in settling their short-term obligations to improve their profitability.

Full textAbstract:
The study investigated corporate governance and financial performance of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to examine the relationship between board size, board independence, board meetings, and return on assets of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study adopted ex-post facto research design and secondary data were extracted from the annual reports of sampled consumer goods firms for the period 2013 – 2022. Correlation technique was used for the test of hypotheses. Findings showed that, board size does not have a strong relationship with return on assets (ROA) of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria with correlation coefficient of -0.3815. On the other hand, board independence does not have a strong relationship with return on assets (ROA) of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria with correlation coefficient of 0.2753. However, board meetings do not have a strong relationship with return on assets (ROA) of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria with correlation coefficient of -0.3904. This implies that none of the corporate governance mechanism studied can be influence return on assets of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study recommended that rather than solely increasing board size, consumer goods firms should prioritize diversity and the expertise of board members. Directors should possess skills and experience that align with the industry's specific needs. Achieving a balance between independent and non-independent directors is crucial. While board independence is important for governance, it should not impede industry-specific knowledge. Companies should strengthen board oversight mechanisms, utilizing robust audit committees and reporting structures to maintain independence while promoting industry expertise. The focus should be on the quality of board meetings rather than a specific number.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the relationship between audit market concentration, auditor attributes, and audit quality of quoted consumer goods firms in Nigeria. A purposive sampling technique was used to select five (5) quoted consumer goods firms that consistently published their annual reports from 2012 to 2020. Secondary data were sourced from annual reports of the selected quoted consumer goods in Nigeria. Data collected were analyzed using the pooled regression least square estimation technique. The result of the study revealed that audit market concentration exerts a positive and significant effect on the audit quality of quoted consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The result also indicates that the auditor’s independence positively and significantly impacts audit quality. In contrast, the auditor’s tenure has an insignificant positive effect on the audit quality of quoted consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Based on these findings, this study concludes that audit market concentration and auditor attributes improve audit quality of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study, therefore, recommends that firms ensure frequent auditor rotation to limit the chances of auditor-client over-familiarity which will jeopardize independence and reduce audit quality.

Full textAbstract:
A competitividade no mercado de bens de consumo não duráveis vem
aumentando nos últimos anos. Empresas que atuam neste segmento enfrentam, a
cada dia, maiores dificuldades para diferenciar seus produtos frente a seus
concorrentes. O novo cenário competitivo fez com que as indústrias entendessem
a importância dos clientes que distribuem seus produtos ao consumidor final,
sejam eles varejistas ou atacadistas e distribuidores. A construção de uma boa
relação comercial com tais elementos da cadeia produtiva tornou-se um dos
principais diferenciais competitivos para as indústrias do mercado de bens de
consumo. Em especial, tornou-se importante as estratégias adotadas para atuação
dentro dos pontos de venda, local onde efetivamente são realizadas as compras
dos produtos. Para suprir de forma adequada estas novas necessidades
mercadológicas, as empresas também tiveram que modificar suas estruturas
organizacionais. Estas mudanças fizeram surgir uma nova área dentro das
organizações denominada: TRADE MARKETING. O Trade Marketing surge com
o objetivo de conseguir unificar as estratégias construídas pelas áreas de
marketing e sua efetiva implementação dentro do ponto de venda. As estratégias
construídas são implementadas pelas áreas de vendas, as quais muitas vezes não
estão de acordo com as mesmas. O Trade Marketing surge para tentar diminuir o
distanciamento entre a área de vendas e a área de marketing. A presente pesquisa
buscou identificar quais fatores colaboram e quais dificultam a adequação
estratégica da área de Trade Marketing dentro das organizações. Através da
utilização do ferramental de análise estratégica Genérico Integrativo de Macedo-
Soares (2001) o autor realiza uma pesquisa com executivos do setor de maneira a
encontrar os atributos que garantam a adequação da área de Trade Marketing à
estratégia de suas empresas.<br>Competition in the non-durable consumer goods market has been growing
apace in recent years, and companies that operate in this segment have been
finding it increasingly difficult to differentiate their products from those of their
competitors. The new competitive scenario has made industries realize the
importance of customers who distribute their products to the final consumer,
whether they be retailers (supermarkets, drugstores, convenience stores) or
wholesalers and distributors. Having a good commercial relationship with these
elements of the production chain now constitutes a major competitive differential
for industries in the mass consumer goods market. Operational strategies at points
of sale - where product purchases effectively occur - have become particularly
important. In order to fulfill these new market needs, firms have also been obliged
to modify their organizational structures. These changes have led to the
appearance of a new area in organizations, known as TRADE MARKETING.
Trade Marketing’s aim is to unify strategies developed by marketing areas and
effectively implement them at points of sale. These strategies are implemented by
sales areas and the latter do not always agree with strategies proposed by
marketing areas, as they are not aligned with customer expectations. Trade
Marketing’s function is to bring sales and marketing areas closer together. Despite
this new area’s growing strategic importance, there are few scientific studies
devoted to this theme. The present research sought to identify the factors that
facilitate or hinder the Trade Marketing area’s strategic fit. Using Macedo Soares’
(2001) Generic Integrative model for strategic analysis, the author performed a
survey of executives of the sector in order to discover a list of attributes that
assure the strategic fit of their companies’ Trade Marketing areas.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis applies a standardization/adaptation framework (SA) to explore the strategies of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) firms in the Greek market. This market is transformed into an 'international' one during the tourist season due to an influx of 15 millions of tourists from several, primarily European, countries. Extant research has not addressed how FMCG firms may respond to this market transformation; whether they standardize their offering across the 'native' and tourist population (and within the tourist population from different countries) or they adapt their offerings. Despite the growing importance of international tourism and despite tourism being a major driver of globalisation, there is no empirical evidence showcasing how a beer, an ice cream or a shampoo seller market their products to the plethora of nationalities visiting their country of operation. The purpose of this research, therefore, is to gain, for the first time, a deeper understanding on how FMCG firms -both MNE subsidiaries and local entities- serve the needs of mobile consumers of FMCGs in a tourism estimation. Greece is chosen as the field of study since in this country, the contextual idiosyncrasies of such polyethnic markets are clearly evident. The research adopts the interpretive paradigm, a realist orientation and case studies as the most fitting methodology for the research questions. Multiple sources of evidence were utilized, focusing primarily on personal interviews with key managers in 14 organizations. Findings suggest that the impact of tourism is two-fold and that there is a mixture of SA strategies implemented by firms. These strategies are driven by such factors as organizational features of each firm, internationalizing outlook of firms or perceived tourists' quest for experimentation/familiarity. The contingency approach is supported indicating that deployed strategies along the SA continuum rest upon oftenneglected idiosyncrasies ofthe market and upon firm-specific considerations. The contribution of the research to international business/marketing and tourism literatures is explicitly stressed and it is pinpointed that implications for FMCG firms and public authorities in such environments are worth-noting. The study concludes with highlighting the limitations of the study and the avenues that call for closer scrutiny and greater illumination as a result ofthe findings of this study

Full textAbstract:
This study offers an in-depth account of how, when and why consumers engage with films as brands, using 38 exploratory, semi-structured consumer interviews and 1030 consumer survey responses. Extant film branding literature is scarce, dominated by filmmakers' and marketers' perspectives of films as brands and is confined to exploring points of parity associations films have as brands, rather than ways films may differentiate themselves as brands. Taking on a consumer centric view, our findings show although filmmakers, production houses and marketers may jointly develop and market films with the vision of becoming brands, this doesn't necessarily guarantee consumers' engagement with such films as brands. Instead, consumers initially evaluate the coherency of a film's identity and subsequently go on to engage with films as brands, a process which is fully mediated by the emotional bonding a consumer may develop for a film and partially mediated by a film's popularity and sequels. Films' marketing/franchising efforts, iconic status and sense of timelessness moderate consumer-film brand engagement, resulting in positive word of mouth and purchase intention. Our sequential, consolidated and specified film brand engagement framework guides filmmakers and marketers on how to tactically engage consumers with their films as brands, in order to differentiate themselves within this risky and competitive market.

Full textAbstract:
L'émergence d'invendus constitue un phénomène de première importance. En effet, il n'y a pas d'entreprise sans invendus. C'est pourquoi les entreprises souhaitent éliminer les invendus en fin de période de vente. Dans ce cadre une nouvelle problématique émerge : comment valoriser un stock d'invendus et optimiser son déstockage ? C'est l'objet du travail doctoral que de répondre à cette question fondamentale du point de vue de la science économique. Pour cela, il faut tout d'abord déterminer à quel prix une firme peut-elle déstocker ses invendus et ensuite dé-terminer quand doit-elle avoir recours au marché du déstockage ou aux soldes directes ? Cette thèse consacre une première partie à un survol de la littérature,à la fois en management et marketing, mais surtout en sciences économiques. La seconde partie propose un modèle original de valorisation des invendus qui adapte en microéconomie les méthodes de couvertures utilisées en finance, notamment les options, dans le cas où la demande est incertaine. Il est montré d'un point de vue théorique qu'il est possible de proposer une couverture contre le risque d'invendus.D'une part la théorie est adaptée au cas de l'approvisionnement, et d'autre part au cas des invendus. Des simulations chiffrées illustrent comment fonctionne concrètement cette méthode dans chacun des cas. La troisième partie est plus générale et développe deux modèles originaux inter-temporels dans le cadre d'un marché monopolistique. Il y a deux types de consommateurs, ceux qui sont sensibles à l'étalage des biens, et ceux qui sont insensibles à cet étalage. Les consommateurs sensibles à l'étalage, choisissent la part qu'ils achètent de cet étalage, cependant que le monopole choisit à la fois le prix et l'étalage. Que la demande soit certaine ou incertaine, il émerge toujours un stock d'invendus. Le monopole peut le revendre, soit directement aux consommateurs insensibles à l'étalage, soit à une firme de déstockage. L'endogénéité du marché du déstockage est alors étudiée<br>Since there is not a firm without a stock of unsold goods, the study of this phenomenon is an issue of great importance. Indeed, firms face the stock of unsold goods that they want to clear at the end of the market period. The latter has an impact on not only on the firm's production process, but also on the economy growth. In this context, how to value the stock of unsold goods and when should the firm clears it ? This doctoral work aims to answer to this fundamental question from the standpoint of economics. For this purpose, we must first determineat which price a firm can clear its stock of unsold goods and then determine when it should have recourse to selling-off market or clearance sales ? The first part of this thesis is dedicated to a review of the literature, both related to management and marketing science, but also to economics. The second part focuses on an original model of unsold goods' stock valuation which is adapted to the microeconomic hedging methods used in finance (including options where the demand is uncertain). Results show that it is possible to provide a hedge against the risk of a stockof unsold goods. On the one hand, the theory is adapted to the case of supply and on the other hand, it fits the case of a stock of unsold goods. From the theoretical point of view, the results of numerical simulations illustrate the way this method works in practice for different cases. The third part is more general since it introduces two intertemporal original models under the monopolistic market structure.There are two types of consumers, depending on the degree of their sensitiveness to the display of goods (those who are sensitive versus those who are not). Consumers who are relatively strongly sensitive to the display of goods choose to buy apart from it. Furthermore, the monopoly chooses both the price and the quantityof displayed goods in order to maximize its profit. Under certain or uncertain demand,it always emerges a stock of unsold goods. The monopoly can sell the stockof unsold goods, either directly to consumers who are insensitive to the display ofgoods, or to the selling-off firm. Endogenous selling-off market is then studied

Previous issue date: 2009-12-21T00:00:00Z<br>O luxo pressupõe uma hierarquia social e a moda serve como ferramenta para aplicação desta distinção. A maneira como a pessoa se veste reflete a sua personalidade, posição econômica e social. A posse de bens de luxo serve para diferenciá-la daqueles que não podem consumi-los e a marca, como referência para o usuário. A transformação das marcas de moda de luxo de pequenos negócios familiares para empresas com presença mundial, aumentou o nível de competitividade entre elas, levando-as a ampliação dos seus mercados. O Brasil, junto a outros países emergentes, figura como mercado chave neste crescimento. O mercado de luxo vem despertando a atenção do meio acadêmico. A presente dissertação tem o objetivo de estudar a identidade e a imagem da Louis Vuitton, marca líder deste mercado no mundo, e assim contribuir para o avanço deste estudo. O estudo valeu-se de pesquisa exploratória qualitativa e utilizou uma amostra de profissionais e consumidores de marcas de moda de luxo, com três fontes de evidência: consulta a publicações relacionadas ao tema, entrevistas em profundidade e observação sistemática. Os resultados apontam para características que definem o comportamento do consumidor de luxo em relação às marcas de moda de luxo internacionais e os fatores que os levam a preferi-las ou rejeitá-las. Também evidencia diferenças entre a identidade e a imagem da Louis Vuitton no Brasil, mercado relativamente jovem em relação ao consumo de luxo.<br>Luxury stands for social hierarchy and fashion can be used as the too1 to reach this social distinction. The way a person is dressed reflects its personality and social and economical position. Owning luxury goods differentiates the ones who can afford it of those who cannot and the brand works as a reference for the user. The luxury fashion brands changed from small familiar companies to enterprises with global presence, which increased the competition level between them. and forced them to expand their markets. Brazil. along with other emerging countries, has become a key market for this expansion. The luxury market is getting more attention among marketing researchers. This research has the goal of studying the identity and image of Louis Vuitton, the luxury market leading brand, contributing for studies of this subject. The research was based on a qualitative approach, using three sources of information: desk research, in-depth interviews with professionals and consumers of luxury fashion brands, and observation. The results point to facts that lead consumers to choose a brand or reject it. The research unveiled a difference between Louis Vuitton's identity and image. due to Brazilian's market young stage on luxury consumption.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, the e-commerce sector across industries has grown rapidly, with the e-grocery market yet to produce any clear winners. This was mainly due to high customer expectations and substantial commercial difficulties, making it very complicated to profitably serve the market. With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the e-grocery field has experienced particular attention and growth. The UK’s Ocado is regarded as an exception in the e-grocery sector due to its pioneering position in robotic automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI), its ongoing transformation to a global solutions business as well as extraordinary share performance, recently making it the most valuable grocer in the UK. To identify distinctive components of e-groceries along the value chain, customer expectations were discovered through surveys, after which commercial difficulties were identified using expert interviews. Further, the Ocado model was analyzed, which allowed to illustrate how it addresses expectations and difficulties by leveraging the virtual value chain (VVC). It became clear that Ocado achieves cost-decreasing and differentiation advantages by building a value matrix, enabling it to profitably serve the market. The study therefore lays out that virtual value creation is becoming an increasingly important component in grocery retailing. Subsequently, scenarios for uptake of VVC adoption among stakeholders in the retail sector were created. The outcome suggests that a business-as-usual scenario in VVC uptake is most likely. In this case, firms will ramp up their IT operating budgets by 2-5% p.a., responding to new realities in both physical and online retail<br>Nos últimos anos, o setor de comércio eletrónico cresceu rapidamente, embora a e-grocery ainda não tenha evidenciado nenhum vencedor claro. Isto deve-se maioritariamente às altas expectativas dos clientes aliadas a dificuldades comerciais, tornando complicado atender o mercado de forma lucrativa. Com o desenrolar da Covid 19, o setor de e-grocery tem recebido particular atenção e evidenciado crescimento. A Ocado UK é considerada excecional na indústria de comércio eletrónico devido à sua posição pioneira em automação robótica e inteligência artificial (IA) e pela sua contínua transformação num negócio de soluções globais, tornando-a recentemente a mercearia mais valiosa do Reino Unido. De forma a identificar os distintos componentes de e-grocery na sua cadeia de valor, as expectativas dos clientes foram primeiro determinadas através de inquéritos, sendo posteriormente identificadas possíveis dificuldades comerciais através de entrevistas com especialistas. Além disso, o modelo Ocado foi analisado, com um foco na forma como aborda as expectativas e dificuldades de utilização da cadeia de valor virtual (VVC). Como resultado, o estudo conclui que a criação de valor virtual se está a tornar um componente cada vez mais importante na comercialização de alimentos, sendo então gerados cenários para a aceitação do uso do VVC pelas partes interessadas no setor. O resultado indica que o mais provável é um cenário de adoção na lógica de negócios como o habitual. Neste caso, as empresas aumentarão os seus orçamentos operacionais de TI em 2 a 5% ao ano, em resposta às novas realidades.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: In two thematically related chapters, I explore the benefits incurred as companies actively respond to consumers who share positive word of mouth in digital environments (eWOM). This research takes a multi-method approach by first addressing the psychological impact of company response on the sharing consumer, followed by an examination of real behavioral consequences in a social media setting. Across six studies in Chapter 1, I find support for a conceptual model indicating that consumers who receive a company response to their positive eWOM experience greater satisfaction compared to no response, leading to increased intentions to engage in future positive eWOM on behalf of the company, both through social media and online review websites. Furthermore, I find that consumer perceptions of response personalization lead to judgments of company effort and that these two elements mediate the effect of response on consumer satisfaction. In Chapter 2, using a dataset of firm responses to positive consumer feedback on Twitter (tweets) from 79 apparel retailers, I find that company responses to positive consumer tweets can generate consumer engagement behavior in the form of continued interaction. Company responses that use consumer-oriented language increase the likelihood of consumer interactivity. However, this effectiveness depends on whether the consumer's audience is the company or their broader network of followers. I also show that, in some conditions, companies achieve higher consumer engagement by personalizing responses with the consumer's name. Together, the findings from these two chapters point to the need for companies to strategically practice positive eWOM management, both to promote consumer engagement behaviors and to avoid the negative outcomes associated with unresponsiveness.<br>Dissertation/Thesis<br>Doctoral Dissertation Business Administration 2017

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Many companies have followed the trend toward exposing their business assets through open (i.e., Web) application programming interfaces (APIs). However, these firms appear to have adopted API technology largely to meet their customers’ needs and demands. The pressures on industries to develop, implement, and maintain API products and services can prevent companies from gaining a greater awareness of API development’s benefits. Firms may thus miss out on related monetary or non-monetary exploitation of their business assets. This study explored the status of the API economy and development among Finnish industries. The dataset comprised publicly available information from 226 private and public organizations representing a variety of industries, such as industrial, consumer goods, and services sectors. The current status of API readiness, types, protocols, and monetization models is presented to provide a more comprehensive overview.

Abstract This chapter discusses the theories of demand and supply, including the factors affecting the demand for commodities (the price of the commodity itself, the incomes of consumers, the price of competitive (or substitute) goods, the price of complementary goods, and the tastes of consumers) as well as the factors affecting supply (the price of the good, the prices of other goods that firms could produce or do produce, the prices of factors of production, the state of technology, and the goals/objectives of firms). The significance of the price and income elasticities of demand to the agricultural sector is highlighted.

Abstract Science is not a free lunch. Worldwide, R&D expenditures per year, from basic research to product development by firms, are about USD1.7 trillion (according to UNESCO estimates for 2017). There are perhaps 7.8 million professional researchers globally, around one researcher out of one thousand inhabitants of the planet. In the OECD area, which includes the most developed economies, government R&D spending is worth about USD 315 billion per year and the share of government of the total R&D expenditures is 28%. Hence, citizens support research in two ways: firstly, as consumers by paying a price for goods and services which in turn include in their production costs such expenditures; secondly, by paying taxes which support government R&D expenditures, mostly for basic science. In this short essay, I discuss two questions: What is the economic impact of basic research? What are the implications for social justice of the interplay between -on one side- government funded science and -on the other side- R&D supported by business? I will argue that the ultimate economic impact of large-scale investment in basic research is often (but not always) positive (i.e. benefits are greater than costs). There is, however, a potential concern for social justice arising from the private appropriation by business of rents arising from knowledge as a public good.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter presents a unified theoretical framework to estimate market power in consumer goods industries with differentiated products. In the industry to be described, consumer goods manufacturers buy from upstream suppliers and resell to downstream retailers who resell to household consumers. Horizontal competition takes place between firms at the same stage and vertical competition between firms at successive stages. The consumer goods manufacturer’s horizontal market share is the firm’s share of category sales denominated in manufacturer’s (factory) prices and typically represented by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). The manufacturer’s vertical downstream market share equals 1 s retailers’ percentage gross margins, which determines the manufacturer’s share of his brand’s retail price. The manufacturer’s vertical upstream market share equals 1 s its suppliers’ percentage gross margins, which determines the manufacturer’s share of its suppliers selling price and is the manufacturer’s invoice cost. Under this definition firms have both horizontal and vertical market shares and compete both horizontally and vertically.

Abstract Why have large factories given way to the co-ordinated production of specialized family units in segments of the Japanese textile industry? One reason is the predominance of ‘obligated relational contracting’ in Japanese business. Consumer goods markets are highly competitive in Japan, but trade in intermediates, by contrast, is for the most part conducted within long-term trading relations in which goodwill ‘give-and-take’ is expected to temper the pursuit of self-interest.

Full textAbstract:
This research explores how perceived consumer benefits affect the perceived privacy risks from implementation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags at an item-level in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry. Two new categories measure the benefits and risks: in-store and after-sales. These specific categories allow the respondents' willingness to accept RFID to be evaluated using a quantitative survey focused on the primary household grocery purchasers within the USA. The results suggest differences in perceptions of the in-store and after-sales risks and benefits of RFID use. While consumers are aware of privacy risks while using RFID technology, they would be willing to use the technology if sufficient benefits are available. This research moves the discussion away from a focus on consumer privacy issues to a balanced privacy/benefits approach for consumers and how that might affect their technology acceptance, suggesting that careful management of consumer benefits might allow FMCG firms to introduce RFID technology to support their global supply chains.

Full textAbstract:
Producers are firms that have a direct economic stake in the value of the goods they bring to market. These are distinct from the individuals who create the good: creators, such as artists, musicians, and writers. Creators rarely take their creations directly to market; in most cases, a third-party firm—a producer firm—vets and collates many different creations to present to the consumer. Elsewhere, fashion designers and chefs often start their own firms—creator firms—that sell only their own creations. All producers must bridge the worlds of art and business, which entails three challenges: market making, building and maintaining trust between managers and creators, and reputation building. Creator firms may be more likely to introduce content innovations, and producer firms may introduce delivery innovations, while some innovations may combine both. Inducing consumption of these innovations requires changing beliefs, making it the most challenging kind of pioneer entrepreneurship.

In 8th International Congress "Environment Protection. Energy Saving. Sustainable Environmental Management". Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2025. https://doi.org/10.4028/p-er3mdb.
Full textAbstract:
The following article represents the research on the elaboration of biodegradable films for environmentally friendly packaging based on polyvinyl alcohol, corn starch, glycerin, and borax. Growing consumption of packaging results in greater waste; the biggest part of which comprises problematic plastic packaging that is difficult and expensive to recycle. The majority of biodegradable packaging materials have insufficient technological characteristics. It is due to that the development of composite compositions based on inexpensive raw materials is a necessary condition to extend the range of high-quality safe packaging capable of minimizing environmental impact. The objective of the study is to obtain film materials based on polyvinyl alcohol, corn starch, and glycerin with the addition of sodium tetraborate and to study its mechanical and surface properties. The compositions for the film samples are prepared by an aqueous solution of Polyviol 6 04/140 polyvinyl alcohol to which water-soluble corn starch is added. The mixture is gelatinized, cooled, and glycerin and borax are added under stirring. Films are obtained by casting onto a glass substrate. The films obtained are almost transparent to the sight, soft and flexible by touch, showing good stretchability. The values of tensile strength for the films containing polyvinyl alcohol-starch, as measured by a dynamometer on a universal testing machine, are 1.5-1.7 times higher than that of samples without starch. The values for elongation at break of the films tested fall between 280 and 425%. Surface property testing of the obtained films is performed with an instrument for the determination of the wetting contact angle. Distilled water and ethylene glycol are used as test liquids for wetting. Wetting kinetics analysis of the films by water and ethylene glycol shows the possibility to make high-quality marking with necessary consumer information on them. Biodegradable films with a polyvinyl alcohol-starch mass ratio of 5:2 exhibit the best mechanical and surface properties. From a performance point of view, PVA, starch, and borax-containing films could be used as biodegradable packaging.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract On a global scale, the packaging industry is an enormous economic generator. The global market value for the packaging industry will reach $1 trillion by 2020; an increase from $839 billion in 2015. This immense growth rate is driven by consumer and industry trends. Reduce, reuse and recycle is part of the green commitment and ecological fight to being responsible in the world. The packaging industry recognizes its responsibility in attaining a closed loop cycle for these materials through the use of green corrosion inhibitors. Application of green corrosion inhibitor in packaging materials (wrapping paper, films, and corrugated boxes) is one of the best options. In this study several green inhibitors impregnated papers and film were investigated. Qualification tests of these products were conducted using MIL-STD-3010C including the vapor-inhibiting ability (VIA) (similar to the NACE TM 208-2018) before and after exhaustion test of VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) impregnated materials. VIA tests showed very satisfactory results for all the impregnated wrapping paper and film prior to the exhaustion test procedure (grade 3-4 according to NACE TM 208 grading criteria). The VIA grading decreases to 2 or 1 after the exhaustion tests. When the steel samples were wrapped with the VCI impregnated wrap paper and then subjected to exhaustion test conditions, post VIA tests showed good results (grades of 3). It is more realistic approach to conduct the exhaustion tests on the wrapped steel samples with VCI packaging materials and subject those samples to the VIA tests. These tests demonstrate that the VCI adsorbed compound can maintain its attachment to the surface during the exhaustion tests and protect steel samples against corrosion later.

The erosion of trust has put pressure on corporations to improve their performance. Due to widespread corporate scandals and failures around the world, there has been a renewed interest in the effect of corporate governance on firm performance. This study investigated the effect of corporate governance dimensions particularly board size and ownership concentration on performance and market share of selected listed companies in Nigeria. The study utilized secondary data for fifteen companies from the Financial Services, Consumer Goods and Industrial Goods Sectors of the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period of 2014 to 2019. For data analysis, the study adopted the ordinary least multiple regression analysis. The study found that as board size and ownership concentration increase, ROE decreases. However, the study found that, to a significant extent, market share of listed firms in Nigeria increases as both board size and ownership concentration increase. This study concluded that board size and ownership concentration do not have significant effect on return on equity (ROE) of listed firms in Nigeria. Also, it concluded that board size and ownership concentration has significant effect on market share of listed firms in Nigeria. Although without significant effect, the study specifically found that as board size increases, return on equity (ROE) of listed firms in Nigeria decreases and as ownership concentration increases, ROE of listed companies in Nigeria also decreases.The study recommended that the board of the companies should always be of a size relative to the scale of its operation, allow for diversity and formation of necessary board committees in order to improve performance. Also, board of directors should ensure that ownership concentration is not too high even as board of the companies needs to ensure that they continuously subject themselves to ownership diversity and board size appropriateness in order for the business to be profitable and increase market share.

Full textAbstract:
Rapid responsiveness to diverse customer needs is considered a competitive advantage in manufacturing business. To shrink the inquiry-to-order process, manufacturing firms will benefit a lot from building a product configuration system (PCS) which is the enabler of mass customisation (MC). PCS has matured in consumer businesses for decades but in capital goods industries, typically operating in engineer-to-order (ETO) manner, things differ a lot. It is for the reason that conventional PCS is incapable of extending customisation from order-delivery processes to the design/engineering phase. Cloud manufacturing, which is an emerging service-oriented manufacturing paradigms enabled by cyber-physical system, the Internet of Things and the Internet of Service, is promising to break the bottleneck of “ETO PCS” by the provision of technical infrastructure for product, service and data customisation. With the introducing of manufacturing-as-a-service (MaaS) concept, a product family is extended to a product-service family (PSF) in this paper for implementing in-depth product configuration process with scalable customisation depth (i.e., the degree of customisation freedom). Additionally, an approach of service delegation in product configuration process is proposed to support customer-centric product customisation. At last, the methodology proposed in this paper is validated by a case study in which the product configuration process of a complex ETO product is performed.

Full textAbstract:
Innovation, derived from the Latin word "innovatus", means to turn an idea into a product that can be sold or developed (goods or services). Tourism is one of the greatest global industries, improving according to the continuous changes in tourism trends and consumer preferences. Thus, it is this need to change that makes the concept of innovation a vital concern for tourism firms of all sizes. Because there is a competition between countries, regions, and cities to attract more tourists. In this context, hotels try to differentiate themselves in order to stay alive and have competitive advantage. This is only possible by conducting innovative activities. Innovation in tourism has many faces and can include such as product, market, and process. This study has been conducted to find out which innovation strategies tourism businesses prefer and which innovations they are using. Within the scope of the research, the data was collected via a questionnaire from 52 hotels by choosing the easy sampling method. According to the findings, tourism businesses implement service innovation. However, decisions for innovation practices are decided by general managers. Furthermore, informing the staff in accordance with the innovation targets makes the highest contribution to the practices. Finally, although research and development (R&D) is the basis of innovation practices, it has been determined that most of the tourism businesses taking part in the research do not have such a department. Finally marketing mix and quality standards should be aligned with the innovation approach.

Full textAbstract:
Generally the growth of country and the development of countries’regional level depend upon the competitive power of other countries and their regions as well. In this context with globalization, the concept of competition in terms of individuals or firms have been not only limited to the local level, but also moved into the international order. Turkey has started to implement export-oriented industrialization policy taken decision on 24 April 1980 and thereby the capacity of its foreign trade has gradually increased in the current process. 
 Starting from this direction, the aim of the study is to determine the sectoral analysis of the 2001-2014 periods in terms of the foreign trade relationship between Turkey and Russia. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the Turkey-Russia’s foreign trade on the basis of commodity groups. In this study, commodity group data located in Standard International Trade Classification obtained from the Turkey Statistical Institute database was used. In the analysis of study the Revealed Comparative Advantage index was calculated to measure the strength of competition between Turkey and Russia. Since the 2000s, considering Russia’s trade profile as one of the Turkey's most important trade partner, energy and natural resources in exports and consumer goods in import have a siginificant share in trade between these contries. In conclusion, despite the increasing trade between the two countries, in terms of assestment of the competitive power and the commodity group, it has been found that leading countries has not been changed.

Full textAbstract:
Social marketing is often used in public administration and in the activities of NGOs, for example in health care, traffic safety, anti-corruption etc, but there is a lack of case studies on the design of these campaigns, the methods used, as well as the results achieved. However, public administration and NGOs are not the only ones that can use social marketing to change the social order, since in business too, public opinion and action often affect and influence companies in various sectors that work in the public interest or manage state and municipal property. The aim of the study is to develop a concept for the implementation of social marketing campaigns, based on theoretical knowledge about social marketing and empirical data analysis. In order to achieve the objective of the study, the monographic method, the document analysis, the secondary data analysis, the contextual analysis and the quantitative data analysis to find out consumers' views on social marketing and what tools would encourage behaviour change. Based on the findings of the study, a concept was developed for the future implementation of social marketing campaigns. Findings. It was concluded that educational/informative materials, real experience stories, statistics and facts, increasing penalties and legal liability, as well as the introduction of new solutions, such as the deposit system for new groups of consumer goods, contribute to a change in social behavior. Company "Rigas mezi" needs to focus on reducing pollution, preserving and enhancing natural values and reducing forest fires. Based on the theoretical and practical research, the authors developed a social marketing impact process, which is presented as a theoretical social marketing impact scheme.

Full textAbstract:
Crime and the durability of goods are strongly connected issues. However, surprisingly, they have been studied separately. This paper explores the relationship between the production of durable goods and crime from a theoretical perspective and draws important conclusions for both topics. Crime affects the consumer and producer surplus and thus the behavior of consumers, firms, the market equilibrium, and, in turn, the social optimum. Lower durability of goods reduces the incentive to steal those goods, thus reducing crime. When crime is included in the standard framework of durable goods, the socially optimal durability level is lower. Even without considering the negative non-market externalities of crime, perfect competition does not provide the optimal durability level. When considering different stealing technologies, perfect competition either over-produces durability or produces zero (minimum) durability. The monopolist under-produces durability regardless of the stealing technology considered. If all the crime externalities are taken into account, the socially optimal durability level is reduced further and gets closer to that which prevails under monopoly. The model has a clear policy implication: the durability of goods, and the market structure for those goods, can be an effective instrument to reduce crime. In particular, making the durability of a good contingent upon that good being stolen is likely to increase welfare.

Full textAbstract:
The incomplete pass-through of exchange rates to prices is a well-documented phenomenon. Firms respond optimally to exchange rate shocks by adjusting margins and buying inputs from regions with more advantageous terms of trade. Consumers, in turn, substitute goods that become more expensive for relatively cheaper goods after an exchange rate shock. We use data from the market for new cars in Colombia to empirically analyze the determinants of incomplete pass- through after a large depreciation of the local currency. We estimate a structural oligopoly model that nests the optimal reactions of firms and consumers to as- sess their relative importance in explaining the lack of response of retail prices to the exchange rate shock. We find that, in relative terms, the most important factor explaining incomplete pass-through is consumer substitution, followed by strategic interaction between sellers.

Full textAbstract:
Security concerns in a context of increasingly segmented supply chains haveled to stricter border control measures, which may potentially negatively affect international trade. Customs around the world have therefore implemented security-motivated certification programs to facilitate licit trade. These programs offer trustworthy trading firms, i.e., Authorized Economic Operators (AEOs), several advantages in the administrative processing of their shipments including less frequent physical inspections and expedited customs clearance. In this study we focus on Mexico's AEO Program NEEC. In particular, we evaluate the impact of this program by primarily carrying out differences-in-differences estimations on highly disaggregated firm-level data that cover the entire universe of export and import transactions of the country over the period 2009-2014. Estimation results suggest that NEEC has been associated with less physical inspections and shorter clearance times and has thereby favored increased firms' exports. Effects seem to be stronger on the frequency of shipments and on consumer goods, industrial inputs, and capital goods.

We show that, with an award, both firms invest in environmental quality; with a label, only one firm invests. Under awards, investments depend positively on salience. Under labels, investments depend non-monotonically on salience. A welfare-maximizing social planner prefers awards over labels if and only if marginal damage and salience are sufficiently high such that consumers overestimate the environmental quality of the goods.

Full textAbstract:
Price dispersion is a prevalent feature even of markets where, arguably, homogeneous good are traded. At the heart of the causes of price dispersion lie the firms' strategic interactions with their customers and rivals. Consumers' eagerness and ability to search for lower prices tends to reduce dispersion because it enhances competition. Firms inability to sustain tacit collusion, on the other hand, increases price dispersion. Wholesale costs shock can impact both. We use data on retail gasoline markets from Colombia to assess whether changes in price dispersion following wholesale cost shocks are explained by consumer searching or by firms breaking away from collusive equilibria. We also explore the role played by market structure on the extent of price dispersion. Our findings suggest that changes in price dispersion following wholesale cost shocks are driven by consumers searching more intensely for lower prices. We also find a positive relationship between the number of service stations in a market and how disperse prices are. Our results are robust to alternative ways of measuring price dispersion and alternative ways of defining relevant markets.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic generated a large negative external shock to the global economy. Businesses worldwide were affected by economic, health, and mobility restrictions that impacted consumers ability to access goods and services and firms profitability and survival rates. In this paper, we study the economic performance of Latin American MSMEs during the pandemic using disaggregated and high-frequency administrative banking deposits and income data from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, and Peru. We observe a sharp short-term decline in firm earnings due to the implementation of lockdowns during the second half of March 2020. We show this decline had a heterogeneous impact by economic sector, firm size, and transaction type (in-person vs. online). Focusing on financial technology adoption by studying the migration from in-person to online banking transactions, we find that MSMEs managed to recover revenues to pre-pandemic levels in early 2021 thanks to an increased share of online transactions and that industries facing higher physical exposure to the public (e.g., retailers) experienced a more considerable decline and a slower recovery.

Full textAbstract:
Trust is the most pressing and yet least discussed problem confronting Latin America and the Caribbean. Whether in others, in government, or in firms, trust is lower in the region than anywhere else in the world. The economic and political consequences of mistrust ripple through society. It suppresses growth and innovation: investment, entrepreneurship, and employment all flourish when firms and government, workers and employers, banks and borrowers, and consumers and producers trust each other. Trust inside private and public sector organizations is essential for collaboration and innovation. Mistrust distorts democratic decision-making. It keeps citizens from demanding better public services and infrastructure, from joining with others to control corruption, and from making the collective sacrifices that leave everyone better off. The good news is that governments can increase citizen trust with clearer promises of what citizens can expect from them, public sector reforms that enable them to keep their promises, and institutional reforms that strengthen the commitments that citizens make to each other. This book guides decision-makers as they incorporate trust and social cohesion into the comprehensive reforms needed to address the region's most pernicious challenges.

Alwang, Jeffrey, Alexis Villacis, and Victor Barrera. Credence Attributes and Opportunities: Yerba Mate in Paraguay. Inter-American Development Bank, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0003962.
Full textAbstract:
The value of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) exports from Paraguay has recently increased dramatically. Much of this growth is due to positioning of the good within the universe of products where consumption growth is driven by perceptions of sustainable production and health benefits to consumers--that is, credence attributes creating a new dimension of demand. Credence claims for yerba mate's benefits to indigenous producing communities, environmental sustainability under certain production processes, healthful alternatives to energy drinks, are now widely known, but the growth of this awareness came via a new entrepreneurial strategy of a single firm. This case study explores the determinants of growth of credence-based exports of yerba mate from Paraguay, potential for increased growth, and the fragility of the credence-based model.

Financial Stability Report - September 2015. Banco de la República, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.32468/rept-estab-fin.sem2.eng-2015.
Full textAbstract:
From this edition, the Financial Stability Report will have fewer pages with some changes in its structure. The purpose of this change is to present the most relevant facts of the financial system and their implications on the financial stability. This allows displaying the analysis more concisely and clearly, as it will focus on describing the evolution of the variables that have the greatest impact on the performance of the financial system, for estimating then the effect of a possible materialization of these risks on the financial health of the institutions. The changing dynamics of the risks faced by the financial system implies that the content of the Report adopts this new structure; therefore, some analyses and series that were regularly included will not necessarily be in each issue. However, the statistical annex that accompanies the publication of the Report will continue to present the series that were traditionally included, regardless of whether or not they are part of the content of the Report. In this way we expect to contribute in a more comprehensive way to the study and analysis of the stability of the Colombian financial system. Executive Summary During the first half of 2015, the main advanced economies showed a slow recovery on their growth, while emerging economies continued with their slowdown trend. Domestic demand in the United States allowed for stabilization on its average growth for the first half of the year, while other developed economies such as the United Kingdom, the euro zone, and Japan showed a more gradual recovery. On the other hand, the Chinese economy exhibited the lowest growth rate in five years, which has resulted in lower global dynamism. This has led to a fall in prices of the main export goods of some Latin American economies, especially oil, whose price has also responded to a larger global supply. The decrease in the terms of trade of the Latin American economies has had an impact on national income, domestic demand, and growth. This scenario has been reflected in increases in sovereign risk spreads, devaluations of stock indices, and depreciation of the exchange rates of most countries in the region. For Colombia, the fall in oil prices has also led to a decline in the terms of trade, resulting in pressure on the dynamics of national income. Additionally, the lower demand for exports helped to widen the current account deficit. This affected the prospects and economic growth of the country during the first half of 2015. This economic context could have an impact on the payment capacity of debtors and on the valuation of investments, affecting the soundness of the financial system. However, the results of the analysis featured in this edition of the Report show that, facing an adverse scenario, the vulnerability of the financial system in terms of solvency and liquidity is low. The analysis of the current situation of credit institutions (CI) shows that growth of the gross loan portfolio remained relatively stable, as well as the loan portfolio quality indicators, except for microcredit, which showed a decrease in these indicators. Regarding liabilities, traditional sources of funding have lost market share versus non-traditional ones (bonds, money market operations and in the interbank market), but still represent more than 70%. Moreover, the solvency indicator remained relatively stable. As for non-banking financial institutions (NBFI), the slowdown observed during the first six months of 2015 in the real annual growth of the assets total, both in the proprietary and third party position, stands out. The analysis of the main debtors of the financial system shows that indebtedness of the private corporate sector has increased in the last year, mostly driven by an increase in the debt balance with domestic and foreign financial institutions. However, the increase in this latter source of funding has been influenced by the depreciation of the Colombian peso vis-à-vis the US dollar since mid-2014. The financial indicators reflected a favorable behavior with respect to the historical average, except for the profitability indicators; although they were below the average, they have shown improvement in the last year. By economic sector, it is noted that the firms focused on farming, mining and transportation activities recorded the highest levels of risk perception by credit institutions, and the largest increases in default levels with respect to those observed in December 2014. Meanwhile, households have shown an increase in the financial burden, mainly due to growth in the consumer loan portfolio, in which the modalities of credit card, payroll deductible loan, revolving and vehicle loan are those that have reported greater increases in risk indicators. On the side of investments that could be affected by the devaluation in the portfolio of credit institutions and non-banking financial institutions (NBFI), the largest share of public debt securities, variable-yield securities and domestic private debt securities is highlighted. The value of these portfolios fell between February and August 2015, driven by the devaluation in the market of these investments throughout the year. Furthermore, the analysis of the liquidity risk indicator (LRI) shows that all intermediaries showed adequate levels and exhibit a stable behavior. Likewise, the fragility analysis of the financial system associated with the increase in the use of non-traditional funding sources does not evidence a greater exposure to liquidity risk. Stress tests assess the impact of the possible joint materialization of credit and market risks, and reveal that neither the aggregate solvency indicator, nor the liquidity risk indicator (LRI) of the system would be below the established legal limits. The entities that result more individually affected have a low share in the total assets of the credit institutions; therefore, a risk to the financial system as a whole is not observed.
