Belinger, Jan. "Direct sales and its impact on Automotive distribution." Master's thesis, Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze, 2017. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-359265.
Full textAbstract:
This masters thesis aims to explore the possible implementation of the direct distribution model within the automotive industry. The goal is to outline the possible distribution strategy, using the direct distribution model, for an auto manufacturer. The theoretical background and cases that are used to describe the practical usage of the model are based on a secondary research. More specific aspects of the distribution model are then based on interviews conducted with professionals from the automotive industry. The proposed distribution strategy consists of combination of several direct distribution models. Different models are used due to the distinct nature of the products, considered in the process of new distribution model design. The implementation would allow the OEM to gain more control over the distribution process and create more efficient distribution system.

Yeager, Irvin. "Potential Benefits of Extended Season Sales Through Direct Markets." DigitalCommons@USU, 2012. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/1249.
Full textAbstract:
This study examines fresh produce production sold through local farmers’ markets in the U.S. Rocky Mountain region to determine likelihood and benefits for extending production and marketing of fresh produce. Surveys were conducted with producers and farmers’ market managers to determine the likelihood of season extension, marketing realities, and potential products. Prices for eight commonly found produce items were collected at farmers’ markets in Utah and Colorado to model expected off-season pricing.
Surveys responses show producers have a short marketing season, limited acreage, and receive low revenues, but are experienced and have adopted some season extension techniques. High tunnels, one of the most effective season extension techniques, had limited usage in the survey among participants. Market manager surveys show the need for many markets to move indoors in the off-season and felt that consumers were unlikely to pay premiums in the extended season.
Collected prices were analyzed using ARMA and ARIMA methods to provide a forecast for prices in the extended season. The results show that some produce items are priced higher in the early season, while others are higher in fall, while prices for some items are near constant.
The study concludes that although producers could benefit from market and season extension, additional season extending techniques should be adopted as well as consider diversifying offerings. Profitability in an extended season is likely to be constrained by market availability and market manager responses, despite increasing consumer demand for local foods.

Fejdiova, Elena. "Female cosmetic coalitions : how to be women together through direct sales cosmetics." Thesis, University of East London, 2018. http://roar.uel.ac.uk/7537/.
Full textAbstract:
This research is based on ethnographic fieldwork amongst women purchasing direct sales cosmetics in Slovakia. To interpret the data I use concepts from social as well as evolutionary anthropology. In the thesis I examine the closely bonded female collectives that emerged during the purchasing of cosmetics from direct sales companies. I show that while the company sales representatives were trained in the network selling marketing to make a profit, under specified conditions women’s collectives emerged that encouraged the shared ritualized purchase of cosmetics which undermined the sales representatives’ incentives to make a gain. I identify and explain the mechanisms that intensified the relationships amongst the women who created collectives of allies. In this ritually forged environment the women created small collectives based on mutual trust, sharing, egalitarianism and cooperation that extended beyond the context of attractiveness enhancement. In the ritual mode women generated a resistance culture that opposed the individualistic and competitive practices of the cosmetic companies and favoured the leveling of beautification through ritual egalitarianism. From the energetically costly ritual performance ambivalent ritual gender emerged that incorporated both female and male characteristics and was controlled by the female collectives. Endowed with ritual power women employed their ritually created collective agency by claiming their ritual space and time. In the process of ritualization the women transformed economic relations into gift-like relationships that through a web of social obligations created bonds of solidarity and cooperation amongst them. As a result of the collective ritual practice cosmetics became a signal of commitment to the cosmetic coalition. They were invested with the meanings of morality, cooperation and equality of quasi kinship ties. Through regular participation in the collective cosmetic rituals women learnt a ritual template that enabled them to enter any such female collective across Slovakia. These collectives provided their female members with benefits beyond the ritual context. The thesis contributes to the body of work on female competition and cooperation. It shows that once women are united through collective rituals with cosmetics and beautification at their centre they create a safe environment where cooperation rather than competition through beauty prevails. Through recognizing and interpreting the mechanisms for bonding and group commitment the thesis also develops the model of female cosmetic coalitions within the setting of direct sales cosmetics in Slovakia.

Full textAbstract:
The increase in number of banks entering the South African banking sector has caused the big four banks to lose their market share to the new entrants. As a result, the new entrants in this sector have also had negative effects on the existing banks’ sales growth and net profits. Business banking, in particular, has been one of the departments which has become competitive as it is considered to generate the most revenue from all the different bank departments. Business clients have been targeted as their fees are high compared to normal individual clients and also, their investment sizes are big compared to individuals, hence the increased interest in this section. This then prompts the question, what are the factors influencing sales growth in business banking? This question then brings one to the following sub-problems: Is the pricing offered by the various banks to their business bank customers competitive enough to retain them?; How competent and knowledgeable is the staff dealing with business bank customers in ensuring good relationships with business banking clients?; is the technology used by the banks advanced enough to address the banking requirements of business banking customers? Are business banking customers loyal to their respective banks to ensure repetitive sales? In dealing with the above, the author undertook a research study to determine whether factors such as competitive pricing, competent staff, advanced technology and customer loyalty influence sales growth in business banking in Buffalo City Municipality “BCM”. The sample of 90 business banking customers who were given questionnaires to test the above were from a population of business banking customers in BCM. The author underwent a theoretical and an empirical investigation using the survey method through questionnaires. These questionnaires were distributed to the various financing institutions dealing with business banking clients. The findings of the empirical study suggest that through the use of the hypothesis test, it was concluded that of the four factors, advanced technology and customer loyalty influence sales growth in business banking in BCM. While pricing and competent staff do not influence sales revenue growth.

Full textAbstract:
Technology is becoming more central to people’s lives than ever before, and the most widely embraced technological device on the consumer market are mobile phones. This creates an ever-increasing market place for mobile apps, which during 2016 had revenues amounted to 88.3 billion U.S. dollars. The number is expected to increase, and together is estimated to generate 188.9 billion U.S. dollars in revenues 2020. One of the industries affected by this strong online presence is direct selling, where branded mobile apps have started to be used as a sales tool for sales representatives. The apps aim to facilitate the sales representatives’ daily work and bring new opportunities to engage with the end customers in a more convenient way. However, limited research exists about how the sales representatives experience the branded mobile apps in the industry. The purpose of this paper is to explore the sales representatives’ behavior and attitude towards using branded mobile apps within the direct selling industry. This study has been conducted by a quantitative descriptive and exploratory study using a survey. Sales representatives that placed an order exceeding 100 Euros during the last three weeks in five Western culture countries for one direct selling company were targeted. In total, 460 responses were gathered. The result gave some valuable insights although the initial hypothesized benefits could not be confirmed. The findings instead suggest separate items that contributed the most to sales representatives’ satisfaction and purchase intentions. In order to increase satisfaction among sales representatives, branded mobile apps used in direct sales should 1) facilitate the interaction with the company, 2) be easy to navigate with, 3) provide relevant information, 4) be convenient to shop from, and finally 5) work as a good conversation topic in a social context. Further on, the item identified to have the greatest contribution to purchase intentions is how convenient the app is to shop from, i.e. the same as number 4) above. The future challenge for the direct selling industry and its managers is thus to take advantage of these insights and further study how the attributes more practically can be implemented for their business. By focusing on these actions in the creation and development of branded mobile apps, the direct selling industry can expect to achieve higher satisfaction among their sales representatives and also increase their purchase intentions.<br>Dagens teknik har blivit en allt mer central del i människors liv, och den vanligaste enheten på konsumentmarknaden idag är mobiltelefoner. Detta har skapat en ständigt ökande marknad för mobilappar, som år 2016 genererade 88.3 miljarder U.S. dollar. Antalet appanvändare framöver förväntas att öka, och tillsammans generera 188.9 miljarder U.S. dollar i intäkter år 2020. En av de branscher som påverkats av denna starka närvaro online är direktförsäljning, där appar har börjat användas som försäljningsverktyg för konsulenterna. Apparna syftar till att underlätta konsulenternas dagliga arbete och ge nya möjligheter att engagera sig med slutkunderna på ett lättare och mer fördelaktigt sätt. Dock existerar det lite forskning och kännedom om hur konsulenterna upplever användandet av appar i branschen. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka försäljningsrepresentanternas beteende och attityd gentemot att använda appar inom direktförsäljningsbranschen. Studien har varit både beskrivande och undersökande, och har genomförts genom en samla in kvantitativ data med hjälp av en enkätundersökning. Kunder som har lagt en order över 100 Euros de tre senaste veckorna i fem västeuropeiska länder för ett direktförsäljningsföretag har studerats. Totalt erhölls 460 svar. Resultatet gav flertalet värdefulla insikter, även om de initiala hypoteserna syftade till att undersöka olika fördelar inte kunde bekräftas. Resultaten föreslår istället separata aspekter med störst påverkan på hur nöjda konsulenterna är, samt deras köpintentioner. För att öka nöjdheten bland konsulenter bör appar som används i direktförsäljning 1) underlätta samspelet med företaget, 2) vara lätta att navigera med, 3) tillhandahålla relevant information, 4) vara bekväm att handla från och slutligen 5) fungera som ett bra samtalsämne i ett socialt sammanhang. Vidare kunde det ses att den identifierade aspekten som bidrar mest till konsultenternas köpintentioner är hur bekvämt appen är att handla från, det vill säga samma aspekt som identifierades för konsulenters tillfredställelse under nummer 4) ovan. Den framtida utmaningen för direktförsäljningsindustrin och dess chefer är således att utnyttja dessa insikter och studera vidare hur dessa aspekter kan lämpas mer i praktiken för deras företag. Genom att fokusera på dessa åtgärder vid skapandet och utvecklingen av appar kan direktförsäljningsindustrin räkna med att erhålla högre tillfredsställelse bland sina konsulenter, samt att även öka deras köpintentioner.

This thesis examined the differences between FMS and DCS as methods of procurement used by the Philippine government in the acquisition of U.S. defense articles. The study identified the processes involved in using each of the two methods as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each when used within the socioeconomic and political environment of the Philippines. Issues and considerations that influence selection decision are also discussed. DCS may offer the lowest fixed price, timely/earlier delivery, easier countertrade arrangements, and penalty for non-compliance to the provisions of the contract. FMS is preferable because it is a government-to-government sale, provides opportunities for Philippine military training in the United States and enhances interoperability among coalition forces. In addition, FMS allows for financing of defense articles from the U.S. using Foreign Military Financing, thus conserving Philippine government funds.<br>Lieutenant Colonel, Philippine Army

Full textAbstract:
A significant amount of pharmaceutical marketing literature is available. Most of this marketing has doctors, physicians and specialists as main target audience due to the fact that, historically, these medical professionals were the main pharmaceutical purchase decision makers. Pharmaceutical marketing literature has, historically, also been biased towards the private health sector for obvious reasons as the private health sector constitutes the minority of the pharmaceutical market but with a significantly enormous purchasing power than the public healthcare market, constituting the biggest pharmaceutical market in numbers. It is not surprising therefore that majority of pharmaceutical marketing models have been tailor made for the private healthcare market as the growing number of pharmaceutical companies compete for a piece of the small but extremely profitable private healthcare market. South Africa is no exception as it reflects exactly the same pharmaceutical landscape as described above. For growth purposes, pharmaceutical companies have been showing a continued interest in the public healthcare market in Africa as the vast numbers of the African population present an opportunity for pharmaceutical sales. The inspiration of this research study emanated from the realisation that, in order for pharmaceutical companies to take advantage of the looming African opportunity, there is very little literature on pharmaceutical marketing in the public health sector of which majority of the African market constitutes. This study therefore investigates the impact of marketing communication mix elements on pharmaceutical purchasing decisions for pharmaceuticals in the public health sector in South Africa. Personal selling, public relations and promotions are the marketing communications mix elements being investigated in this study as they are the most commonly utilised in the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, the study aims to develop an understanding on which of the chosen marketing communications mix elements has the most influence on the pharmaceutical purchasing decisions in the context of the public health sector in South Africa. The study also aims to explore the causal effects of such influences in the public health sector in South Africa. The findings will be valuable to pharmaceutical marketers that are trying to tap in the public health sector market as it is different from the private health sector. The study employs more qualitative approach. A small sample was utilised from the public health sector in the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa. Semi structured interviews were used to collect data which was analysed using grounded theory data analysis methodology. Empirical results revealed that personal selling influences pharmaceutical purchasing decision the most and promotions the least. Mitigating factors were uncovered to assist in optimising the marketing communication efforts for marketers in this sector.

In this way, the following article describes a pragmatic sales growth model based on the intersection of two growth options (organic or inorganic) and the two most common distribution channels (direct and indirect). The correct execution of a model that combines those four variables at the same time or independently, according to the business need, will determine a sustainable growth, but only if our organization has the appropriate commercial and functional capabilities.<br>Para crecer en ventas es necesario emplear un modelo de gestión.

Purpose/Topic: The proposed research explores impact of the direct marketing actions by component suppliers on (a) sales (objective measure) and (b) industrial customer‟s perception (subjective measures) of the final product (c) and the market development. The proposed research will focus on the bicycle industry. Research Question: "To what extent Shimano‟s component brands important to Shimano customer, and which actions can Shimano undertake to facilitate its brand‟s further market penetration?" Design/Methodology: Two approaches were used to answer the main research question. First, existing literature on ingredient and co-branding was analyzed. Second, we conducted an experiment on a new direct marketing initiative by Shimano-Europe BV. The initiative is "Reliability" campaign that introduces a service logbook across 8 European countries. Originality/Value: There is no research to this date, which empirically examines the influence of component supplier on sales and perception of ingredient brand, especially in the bicycle industry. Role of service and service network is also examined as one of the crucial influences on ingredient brand management. This research provides the base for further exploration in the area of ingredient branding and give guidelines for Ingredient Brand Management. So far, ingredient branding has been studied in contexts of food, chemical and computer industries. This research examines market leader in bicycle industry on 8 different national markets in Europe. Products supplied by Shimano require service and those products differ from ingredients which are consumed in form of food or apparel (that does not requires any service).

Chang, Jen-Yun. "Impact of the internet as a direct sales channel on established distribution channels and the management of channel conflict : an exploratory study in the Taiwanese IT industry." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/5965.
Full textAbstract:
The internet has had a profound effect on communication, entertainment, buying, and selling (Webb 2002) and, in particular, as a distribution channel (Van den Poel and Leunis 1999). Increasingly companies in a variety of industries have established their own online direct sales channels instead of merely relying on conventional intermediaries (Coughlan et al 2006). Hence, multi-channel distribution strategies, combining both off- and online channels are being adopted. Frazier (1999:232) argues: “The utilization of multiple channels of distribution is now becoming the rule rather than the exception”. Companies which combine physical and web channels have been referred to as “clicks and mortar,” “bricks and clicks,” “surf and turf,” “cyber-enhanced retailing,” or “hybrid e-commerce,” (Gulati and Garino 2000; Steinfield et al 2002 a b; Agatz et al 2008; Sharma and Mehrotra 2007). Despite the apparent popularity of internet channels, adding an internet channel to the distribution mix creates potentially significant challenges for channel managers (Webb 2002). A major concern is that by going multi-channel, a firm might face ‘channel conflict’ between channel members (Sharma and Mehrotra 2007). As Rosenbloom (2007:7) claims: “Perhaps the most significant obstacle to building successful multi-channel strategies is the emergence of conflict between the different channels used for reaching customers”. The main objective in this study is to explore the impact of the internet as being a distribution channel within the multi-channel system. Three research issues which have seldom been discussed in previous literature are explored in this study. These three questions are: Q1: What are the factors encouraging manufacturers to develop the internet channel, especially manufacturers with a well established distribution channel? Q2: What are the channel design patterns of the multi-channel structure? Q3: How can channel conflict arising from the development of the internet channel be minimized? Interview was utilized as a main data collection method in this research. A total of 25 interviews were conducted and the majority of interviewees are managers in Taiwanese IT companies. The main product lines in their firms included wireless equipment, DRAM module, motherboard, and scanner. In addition, a wide range of documents were examined as a secondary data source and compared with data from the interviews. According to the statements from interviewees, six main factors were identified as encouraging the manufacturer to develop the internet channel. These are: (1) customer information management, (2) retailer management issue, (3) launching a new product, (4) to be a secondary channel, (5) management support, and (6) me-too strategy. Furthermore, it seems that when firms are at the different stages of the product life cycle, managers would design their multi-channel structure into different patterns. In addition, a further two conflict resolution styles, communication and differentiation, were found in the sample of firms studied which have seldom been mentioned in previous research and firms appear to adopt different conflict resolution styles according to stage in the product lifecycle.

Previous issue date: 2016-12-20<br>The concept of direct selling is defined as a way of marketing products through personal contact without fixed business location (Peterson & Wotruba, 1996). In the industry of personal care, perfumery and cosmetics direct sales channel represents 25% of total revenue in Brazil, but there are companies that operate with several of them and coexisting distribution models that can go from department stores, drugstore and e-commerce. The representativeness of some of these sales channels begins to grow and, considering the direct selling model, the role of the independent sales representative is fundamental so that Direct Sales companies can access the consumer and remain competitive. DS companies depend on the representative actions, being the reason they have developed initiatives that aim to improve their performance. In this way, studying the role of the sales representative can bring contributions to the literature once in previous studies, although they were done with representatives, it could not observed this new context of the industry. The subject of study of this work was the direct sales representatives who commercialize several brands of cosmetics produced by different direct sales companies. The objective of this research was to understand if there is a causal relationship between the representative satisfaction, the activities she or he does during the sales process such as sales management, channel management and the effort she or he has to. It also aimed, once this effort is identified, to understand the relationship of it with the sales performance and outcome representative. A survey was sent to a group of representatives in Brazil and 1,243 responses were obtained. Based on these responses, Exploratory (AFE) and Confirmatory (AFC) Factorial Analysis and a Structural Equations Model (MEE) was developed to illustrate this relationship among variables. The Expectancy Theory was used to understand the relationship between Effort, Performance and Rewards from the perspective of the representative. The results showed that channel management is the factor that most influences the representative effort, it has a strong relationship with its performance, and outcome, confirming the Expectancy Theory applies for the direct sales business model. The analysis also allowed us to conclude that channel management and sales management are important points, since the representative, who acts as a channel him or herself, is not yet prepared or considered. Direct selling companies need to develop their independent sales representatives as marketing channel, to generate competitiveness in a multichannel environment direct sale is inserted.<br>O conceito de venda direta é descrito como um meio de comercialização de produtos através de contato pessoal sem um ponto fixo (Peterson & Wotruba, 1996). Na categoria de higiene pessoal, perfumaria e cosméticos (HPPC) a venda direta representa 25% das vendas, porém, existem empresas que operam com diversos modelos de distribuição que variam desde lojas especializadas, venda em farmácias, drogarias e supermercados até o e-commerce. A representatividade de alguns desses canais começa a crescer, e no modelo de venda direta, o papel do revendedor é fundamental para que as indústrias possam acessar o mercado consumidor e continuar competitivas. As empresas dependem da atuação do revendedor, e por isso têm proposto iniciativas que objetivam a melhoria do desempenho deste agente independente de vendas. Portanto, estudar o papel do revendedor pode trazer contribuições para a literatura, uma vez que estudos anteriores, apesar de estudarem o revendedor, não puderam observar este novo momento para o setor. O objeto de estudo desse trabalho foi revendedores de venda direta que comercializam marcas de cosméticos fabricadas por diferentes empresas de vendas diretas. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi entender se existe relação de causalidade entre satisfação do revendedor, e as atividades que ele desempenha no processo de vendas e como intermediário, como por exemplo, gestão de vendas, canal e o esforço, e identificado o esforço, qual a relação desta variável com o desempenho e o resultado do revendedor. A pesquisa foi enviada para todo o país e foram obtidas 1.243 respostas. Com base nessas respostas foram realizadas Análise Fatorial Exploratória (AFE) e Confirmatória (AFC) e gerado um Modelo de Equações Estruturais (MEE) desta relação. A Teoria da Expectância foi utilizada para entender a relação entre Esforço, Desempenho e Recompensa na visão do revendedor. Os resultados mostraram que a gestão de canal é o fator que mais influencia o esforço do revendedor, que tem forte relação com seu desempenho, confirmando a teoria da Expectância também na venda direta. As análises permitiram concluir também que a gestão de canal e a gestão de vendas, são pontos importantes, pois este revendedor que desempenha o papel de canal, ainda não está preparado e nem sendo tratado como um canal. As empresas de venda direta precisam se desenvolver na gestão deste agente como um canal, para gerar competitividade em um ambiente multicanal ao qual a venda direta está inserida.

Previous issue date: 2015-06-09<br>Since 1985, personal characteristics are recognizes as determinants of salesperson performance, but the majority of international studies that investigate the relation between sales personal values and objective performance don’t include the sales force (vendors and sales managers) in the samples. Relating to Personal Selling firms, researches show that the personal value ‘effort’ is related to high performance. Relational values, highly present in social and informal sales contexts as the Personal Selling, are neglected, not being related to positive individual performances. Adopting the Organizational Culture as theoretical framework, this study investigates the relation between the sales force´s (Sales Executives - EVs and Beauty Consultants - CBs) personal values of the Direct Selling firm Pierre Alexander Cosmetics (PA) and individual revenues obtained by these professionals. This was accomplished by the use of direct observations and the C-VAT Methodology (Culture and Values Analysis Tool) and the PVP questionnaire (Personal Values Profile), that 415 PA members answered between 2012 and 2014. The answers were analyzed by the Cluster Analysis Technique and show a Company composed by women that are more than 40 years of age and work at PA for more than 15 years. Their values are strong in Work and effort is the main one, united to work quality and to relational dimensions as loyalty, empathy and sociability. In a second moment, the relation between personal values and individual revenues of the sales force in the year 2013 was interpreted by frequency distribution methods. This research concluded that personal values related to Work are fundamental to obtain high individual performance from the CBs (sellers). On the other hand, relational values are most important to motivate the EV’s (coordinator) team of sellers. Differing from what affirms the literature on the area, personal values that help in sales differ from personal values that base the motivation of others to sales (EVs objective).<br>Desde 1985, os fatores pessoais são reconhecidos como determinantes do desempenho de vendedores, porém a maioria dos estudos internacionais que investiga a relação entre valores pessoais de vendedores e desempenho objetivo não inclui a força de vendas (vendedores e gerentes de venda) nas amostras. No que se refere a empresas de Venda Direta (VD), pesquisas apontam que o valor pessoal ‘esforço’ está relacionado à obtenção de altos faturamentos. Valores relacionais, altamente presentes em contextos de venda sociais e informais como a VD são negligenciados, não sendo relacionados a desempenhos individuais positivos. Utilizando a Cultura Organizacional como aporte teórico, esta pesquisa investiga a relação entre valores pessoais da força de vendas (Executivas de Vendas - EVs e Consultoras de Beleza - CBs) da empresa de Venda Direta Pierre Alexander Cosméticos (PA) e faturamentos individuais dessas profissionais. Para tanto, utilizou-se de observação direta e da metodologia C-VAT (Culture and Values Analysis Tool), com o questionário fechado PVP (Perfil de Valores Pessoais) aplicado, entre 2012 e 2014, a 415 membros da PA. As respostas, analisadas por meio da Técnica de Análise de Clusters, mostram uma Empresa composta por mulheres com mais de 40 anos de idade, em sua maioria, há 15 anos ou mais na PA. Seus valores são fortes em Trabalho, sendo o esforço o principal, unido à qualidade no trabalho e a dimensões relacionais como lealdade, empatia e sociabilidade. Em um segundo momento, a relação entre valores pessoais e faturamentos individuais da força de vendas no ano de 2013 foi interpretada por métodos de distribuição de frequência. Concluiu-se que valores pessoais ligados a Trabalho são fundamentais para a obtenção de altos faturamentos individuais por parte das CBs (vendedoras), ao passo que valores relacionais são mais importantes para motivar a equipe de vendas das EVs (coordenadoras). Diferindo do que afirma a literatura da área, valores pessoais que auxiliam nas vendas diferem, portanto, de valores pessoais que embasam a motivação de outros para a venda (objetivo das EVs).

Full textAbstract:
<p>The global marketplace today encompasses 6 billion people. Many companies are beginning to see themselves as international rather than national acting on a global arena. An essential aspect of going abroad is to know where to go and why to go there. In order to be able to analyze a foreign market a company needs to do market research in the foreign market as to gather essential information. A firm which is facing a quick internationalization process is the Swedish direct sales firm of cosmetics Oriflame. Oriflame has grown quickly in developing countries but is not present in one of the biggest market for direct sales in Europe: France.</p><p>The purpose of this thesis is to develop a theoretical framework to analyze foreign markets and apply it to the French market of direct sales in cosmetics and Oriflame.</p><p>A qualitative study based on the 5 Cs framework for analyzing foreign markets has been carried out. Seven focus groups have been conducted in France and Sweden in order to obtain information about and comparability in consumer attitudes towards Oriflame’s marketing mix. Interviews have been conducted in order to get information about Oriflame as a company. Secondary data has been gathered from different sources for the theoretical framework as well as for the empirical research on issues such as culture, competition and market.</p><p>This thesis has developed a theoretical framework to analyze foreign markets called the 5 Cs. The 5 Cs are based on: Company, Constitution, Competition, Customers and Culture. The 5 Cs is a very general framework and can be applied to a wide range of foreign markets and firms and was in this case applied to analyze a real world case of Oriflame and France. The analysis of the empirical findings found that there is potential for Oriflame to enter the French market in terms of consumer preferences and general market characteristics. However, it also found that what will probably determine everything in the end is whether Oriflame can be strategically committed to enter a mature West European market like France.</p>

Mestrado em Marketing<br>Ao longo das últimas décadas têm-se assistido a grandes mudanças no estilo de vida dos consumidores afetando, consequentemente, os seus padrões de consumo. A falta de tempo e a comodidade de comprar em casa pode justificar o grande crescimento da venda direta por catálogo com vendedor. O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo identificar as principais vantagens e desvantagens percecionadas pelos consumidores e analisar o impacto do perfil sociodemográfico (e.q. idade, sexo, rendimento) na intenção de compra através deste tipo de canal.
Foi adotada uma abordagem quantitativa, tendo os dados sido obtidos através de questionário online. Os resultados revelam que poucos respondentes nunca fizeram compras através de venda direta, revelando uma aceitação da venda direta por parte dos compradores. A vantagem percebida de poder comprar em casa destacou-se, tanto para compradores como para não compradores, enquanto a insistência da força de vendas constitui a principal desvantagem na perspetiva dos mesmos. Conclui-se também que alguns fatores sociodemográficos influenciam positivamente a intenção de compra futura. Foram também apresentadas propostas de investigação futura de modo a continuar a análise do tema em constante crescimento.<br>Over the past few decades there have been major changes in consumers' lifestyle, thus affecting consumer patterns. The lack of time and the convenience of buying at home can justify the great growth of direct sales by catalog with seller. The main objective of this study is to identify the main advantages and disadvantages perceived by consumers and to analyze the impact of the socio-demographic profile (e.q. age, sex, income) on the intention to buy through this purchase method.
A quantitative approach was adopted, and data were obtained through an online questionnaire. The results reveal that few respondents have never made purchases through direct selling, revealing an acceptance of direct selling by buyers.
The perceived advantage of being able to buy at home has stood out, both for buyers and for non-buyers, while the insistence of the sales force is the main disadvantage in their perspective. It is also concluded that some socio-demographic factors positively influence the future purchase intention. Proposals for future research were also presented in order to continue the analysis of the constantly growing theme.<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: To investigate the usefulness of the Economic Value Added Momentum ratio and to determine if Swedish non-real estate, non-financial companies been either positively or negatively affected by their Corporate Real Estate structure from an EVAM perspective. Design/methodology/approach: Using a regression analysis composed of the OMX large and mid cap non-real estate, non-financial companies, investigates the relationship between companies’ real estate holdings and their ability to sustain a positive EVAM. The study covers the time period from 2006 to 2009 and includes 172 observations. Findings: The data showed that a negative relationship between EVAM and PPTY at the 10% real estate intensity interval might exist. However, no evidence was found that might suggest that a negative relationship between EVAM and corporate real estate holdings at the higher (15% real estate intensity) or the lower (5% real estate intensity) existed. This could suggest that companies’ that own lower percentages of real estate assets (less than 5% of PPTY) are not affecting their EVAM value and that companies’ that own larger amount of real estate (15% of PPTY or higher) are better at managing their real estate assets and thus it is not negatively impacting their EVAM. Research Implications: Real estate is reported at historical cost rather than at current fair market values. As the economy has, historically, enjoyed more periods of expansions than contractions, intuitive companies’ real estate assets are undervalued. Economic recession and booms can also dilute both the positive and negative aspects of real estate ownership. Although this investigation seeks to neutralize this phenomenon by including two periods of economic expansion and two periods of economic recession, it is unreasonable to claim that this will completely neutralize this affect. Practical Implications: The companies that have a PPTY of between 10% and 15% might be better off selling their real estate holdings or investing additional funds in real estate so as to either have a PPTY below 10% or above 15%. Companies that are in-between the 10% and 15% real estate ownership segment might not deem it cost effective to have specific real estate professionals or to invest in real estate know-how; however, the firms’ might at the same time own too much real estate, making it too costly to do nothing. Consequently, the companies could be better off deciding on a particular strategy: owning more real estate or owning less real estate. Originality/Value: Investigates if a linkage between a company’s ability to generate a positive EVAM and a company’s quantity of real estate assets exists.

Previous issue date: 2015-08-18<br>Taxation on "direct sales" activities by Social Security is an issue that has provoked debate among legal experts and policy makers. Given this, this master's thesis is the result of research focused on the environment of direct sales or mail order. More specifically on the way of functional relationship between sales representatives and companies from the perspective of the Brazilian System of Social Security. Based on the absence of employment contract, the legal relation between direct sales companies and representatives defines its conditions as independent vendors. This was the starting point of the problematic, since these individual vendors are not included in the constitutional social protection of Social Security.<br>A tributação sobre venda direta pela Previdência Social é um assunto que tem provocado debates entre juristas e formuladores de políticas públicas. Diante desta realidade, desenvolveu-se o presente trabalho, a partir de uma pesquisa sobre o ambiente da venda direta ou venda por catálogo. Mais especificamente, quanto a forma de relação funcional entre os representantes de vendas e as empresas, sob a perspectiva do Sistema Brasileiro de Previdência Social. A relação das empresas de vendas diretas e dos representantes, juridicamente reconhecidos como vendedores ambulantes, profissionais autônomos, baseia-se na ausência de vínculo empregatício. Este foi o ponto de partida para a problematização, uma vez que estes vendedores autônomos, em sua maioria, não estão inseridos no arcabouço da proteção social constitucional da Previdência Social.

Full textAbstract:
La production de métal à partir de son oxyde est basée sur une réduction en plusieurs étapes. Un procédé à une seule étape a été récemment proposé pour la formation de Ti métal par électrolyse en chlorures fondus. Dans le procédé FFC (Fray, Farthing and Chen), le titane métallique est produit à la cathode pendant que les ions oxyde sont oxydés à une anode en graphite en dioxyde de carbone. Dans le domaine du nucléaire, ce procédé est intéressant car le sel peut être ré-utilisé sans retraitement particulier. Ce travail présente les études électrochimiques réalisées dans CaCl2-KCl et CaCl2 permettant de clarifier le mécanisme de réduction de CeO2, utilisé comme simulant des actinides. Des électrolyses sur de faibles quantités de CeO2 sont réalisées afin d'obtenir les conditions opératoires optimales. La réduction de plusieurs centaines de grammes de CeO2 est aussi discutée<br>Reactive metals are currently produced from their oxide by multiple steps reduction techniques. A one step route from the oxide to the metal has been suggested for metallic titanium production by electrolysis in high temperature molten chloride salts. In the so-called FFC process, titanium oxide is electrochemically reduced at the cathode, generating O2- ions, which are converted on a graphite anode into carbon oxide or dioxide. After this process, the spent salt can in principle be reused for several batches which is particularly attractive for a nuclear application in terms of waste minimization. In this work, the electrochemical reduction process of cerium oxide (IV) is studied in CaCl2 and CaCl2-KCl melts to understand the oxide reduction mechanism. Cerium is used as a chemical analogue of actinides. Electrolysis on 10 grams of cerium oxide are made to find optimal conditions for the conversion of actinides oxides into metals. The scale-up to hundred grams of oxide is also discussed

Full textAbstract:
The MixAlco process, a proprietary technology owned by Texas A&M
University, converts biomass (e.g., municipal solid waste, sewage sludge, paper,
agricultural residues, and energy crops) into usable chemicals (e.g., acetic acid) and fuels
(e.g., ethanol). Historically, calcium carbonate has been used as the buffer. Recently, it
was found that using ammonium bicarbonate as the buffering agent enhances the
fermentation conversion. In this case, fermentation broth contains ammonium salts (e.g.,
ammonium acetate, propionate, butyrate, pentanoate). Therefore, the downstream
processing steps (including extraction, purification, esterification, and product
separation) must be compatible with the ammonium carboxylate salts formed in the
fermentation.
This research focuses on converting fermentation broth carboxylate salts into
their corresponding acids via "acid springing." Reactive extraction and thermal
conversion (distillation) are crucial parts of the acid springing process. Because the components of the fermentation broth are over 80% ammonium
acetate and 20% other ammonium carboxylate salts (ammonium propionate, butyrate,
pentanoate, etc.), all the initial experiments in this study were performed using reagentgrade
ammonium acetate to simplify the reaction. Later, actual fermentation broth was
employed.
The primary objective of this study was to provide the optimal operating
conditions to make the downstream processing steps of the MixAlco process compatible
with ammonium carboxylate salts formed in the fermentation. The optimal initial
concentration for reactive extraction should be 150-200 g/L and the volume ratio of
aqueous phase and extractant should be 1:1. The distribution coefficient reaches the
maximum value when the concentration of TOA is 20% (vol %) in n-octanol. The batch
distillation study shows that there are two reaction stages: (1) water leaves the system at
100-106 °C and (2) the acid-amine complex decomposes at 160-180 °C.

Previous issue date: 2013<br>Resumo: Tetrafluoroboratos de arenodiazônio são compostos estáveis e de fácil preparo que têm sido largamente empregados na reação de Heck-Matsuda, permitindo o desenvolvimento de métodos rápidos, brandos e livres de fosfinas. No tocante à arilação direta de compostos (hetero)aromáticos, uma metodologia que emergiu na década de 2000 e que dispensa a necessidade de pré-funcionalização de ambos os parceiros de acoplamento, sais de arenodiazônio foram empregados com sucesso como fontes de radicais arílicos. Por outro lado, a arilação direta de (hetero)aromáticos com sais de arenodiazônio através da catálise por metais de transição havia sido relatada, até há pouco, em apenas um trabalho na literatura (de 1999), com os rendimentos obtidos sendo, na melhor das hipóteses, modestos. Isto posto, resta claro que o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia que explore sais de arenodiazônio em arilações diretas catalisadas por metais de transição seria um avanço importante na química destes sais. Com isso, no presente trabalho foi desenvolvida uma metodologia rápida e em condições brandas para a arilação de indóis, benzofurano e benzotiofeno empregando-se paládio como catalisador. A alta nucleofilicidade dos indóis, que tendem a reagir com sais de arenodiazônio formando compostos azo (corantes), pôde ser contornada, com os produtos monoarilados desejados sendo obtidos com altas regiosseletividades e bons rendimentos. Também foi estudado o comportamento de outros heteroaromáticos, como furanos e o tiofeno, em arilações diretas com sais de arenodiazônio via paládio. Estudos mecanísticos forneceram evidências de que as reações apresentadas operam a partir de uma espécie altamente eletrofílica de arilpaládio catiônico que vem a ser atacada pelos compostos heteroaromáticos eletronicamente ricos<br>Abstract: Aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates are stable, easy-to-prepare compounds that have been largely employed in Heck-Matsuda reactions, allowing the development of fast, mild and phosphine-free methods. Regarding direct arylations of (hetero)aromatic compounds, an area of research that emerged at the beginning of the current century, arildiazonium salts have been employed mainly as radical sources; on the other side, only one example in the literature (dating from 1999) presented arylations of heteroaromatic compounds with aryldiazonium salts in a non-radicalar, transition metal-catalyzed process, with poor yields being observed. With that in mind, it is clear that a methodology exploiting the full potential of aryldiazonium salts in a non-radicalar fashion is highly desirable. Therefore, in the present work a methodology for the direct arylation of indoles, benzofuran and benzothiophene employing palladium as catalyst is presented. The high nucleophilicity of indoles, that are prone to react with these salts to furnish azocompounds (dyes), could be surpassed, with the desired monoarylated products being obtained with both high yields and regioselectivity. The behaviour of 2-methylfuran and thiophene was also investigated. Mechanistically, evidences pointing to the formation of a highly electrophilic cationic arylpalladium species that is attacked by the electronrich heterocycles are presented<br>Doutorado<br>Quimica Organica<br>Doutor em Ciências
