Sundberg, Christoffer, Gustaf Sundberg, and Miikka Lilja. "Growth Strategies in Declining Industries." Thesis, Högskolan i Jönköping, Internationella Handelshögskolan, 2015. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-26744.
Full textAbstract:
The phenomenon of declining industries has been sparsely researched and few scholars have investigated whether firms pursue, or should pursue, growth in industries that are in decline. This study aims to find out if and how firms pursue growth when they perceive the industries in which they operate as experiencing a decline. The study also aims to examine the key factors that influence firm strategy in declining industries. We interviewed managers in firms operating in two declining industries, the Swedish retail fuel industry and the Finnish printing industry. Our finding is that the studied firms operating in these two industries are aware of the declining state of their industries. However, all of them believe that their respective industries will transform instead of perish. Consequently, these firms pursue growth through various strategies to better position themselves within the changing conditions and declining state of their respective industries. Both internal and external factors influence firm strategy, and the factors were both industry and firm-specific. The firms studied tended to employ strategies based on their perception of their industries. In addition, the strategies were developed to both suit the current and the future industry environment. We label these strategies transformational strategies. We build on this new strategic option and construct a guiding framework that aims to facilitate firms’ strategic decision-making in declining industries.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The presented research aims to explain, describe and analyze the process of dynamic strategy development in high growth firms. Accordingly the research seeks to investigate how dynamic strategies are used within high growth firms and how strategic learning affects the process. Design/methodology/approach – The authors presents a review of theoretically relevant studies of high growth related to strategy, and two original studies examining the impact of dynamic strategy on high growth. A theoretical framework for the study of dynamic strategy processes is developed. The study comprehends eight interviews divided over five high growth firms, where high growth is defined by the OECD (2008) standard. Findings – In the study, the researchers finds significant evidence for the active and deliberate use of dynamic strategy in the high growth firms of the study. The implication of strategic learning on the dynamic strategies is found to be substantial. The findings shows that dynamic strategy development are used to a large extent and considered vital for achieving growth within in the high growth firms of the study. Research/theoretical implications/limitations – The findings demonstrate that dynamic strategy development is actively used in high growth phases of the firms studied. This has implications on the extension of previous research, as it shows the actual use of dynamic strategy and further emphasizes the importance of strategic learning within this process. With the important limitation that the study is considered too small to generalize over a larger population, which implies that further research on the subject is needed. Managerial implications – The findings provide guidelines for managers of how to handle strategy development in high growth, however due to the previous limitation this is presented as the way the high growth firms within this study handles this development. The guidelines could be used by anyone in managerial positions, thus increasing the understanding of how high growth firms handle strategy.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis seeks to distinguish the main environmental parameters controlling the growth of Lobelia dortmanna and, by consideration of field conditions, describe which of these controls is most important in determining the zonation of the species, both horizontal and vertical, in Scottish lochs. A detailed analysis of growth across one season was undertaken in a Sutherland lochan, studying populations on sites of different nutrient status. Continuous recordings of temperature and light and monthly measurements of photosynthesis, soluble carbohydrate content and leaf production show continuous growth across the year. However, major increases in growth are strongly correlated to light increases, and only weakly with temperature. No differences occur between sites, so nutrient limitation is not thought to be important in growth. Germination studies reveal that seeds are absolute requirers of light for germination, are red-light promoted and require a cold stratification period before germination. Seeds germinate in low light, under conditions that seedlings subsequently cannot survive in. Examination of the light regime in Scottish lochs reveals that there is sufficient light for germination below the depth limit of zonation. Thus zonation is not controlled by a light requirement for germination. Studies of photosynthesis, pigment and carboxylase variations with depth in L. dortmanna reveal some ability to respond to shading, particularly increasing chlorophyll levels. However, chlorophyll/carboxylase ratios do not change, so indicating the plant is not typical of shade-adapting species. It is concluded that light control of photosynthetic production is the most important factor in controlling growth and zonation.

Buzuloiu, Carmina Manuela. "The process of strategy formation in high-growth SMEs." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/285100.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the topic of strategy formation in high-growth SMEs. High-growth SMEs represent the growth and job creation engine of an economy; however, little has been understood on how strategy forms and develops in high-growth SMEs. The focus on large organisations has led to a literature gap regarding strategy making in SMEs (Wisener and Millett, 2012). "There is a need for deeper understanding" of strategy formation processes in SMEs (Lofving et al., 2014) and "research focusing on questions such as how firms grow [...] has been neglected." (Wright and Stigliani, 2012) The research objectives are: to understand how strategy forms and develops in high-growth SMEs; to develop a framework for the qualitative study of strategy formation processes in high-growth SMEs; and to identify enablers and barriers related to strategy formation processes in high-growth SMEs. A multiple, retrospective case-study methodology has been used. Extensive case studies built on in-depth interviews with management have been compiled to understand the complexity of the studied phenomenon. The research develops two qualitative research tools based on the literature review: a preliminary framework and an assessment matrix to study strategy formation processes. Furthermore, the research introduces a new approach to strategy charting. The key contributions of this research are as follows: • A holistic view of how strategy processes in high-growth SMEs form and develop is provided. New insights into the structures, characteristics, and other aspects of strategy formation processes have been articulated. • A framework for the qualitative study of strategy formation processes in high-growth SMEs has been developed by applying the cross-case analysis findings to the preliminary framework. • New enablers and barriers related to strategy formation processes in high-growth SMEs have been identified. New findings on the role of strategy formation in achieving growth have been outlined. This dissertation narrows the gap between strategy formation in academia and real life by providing practitioners with detailed case studies which can be used as guidelines for the development of strategy formation processes. The research can also help SMEs' managers to tackle challenges encountered in strategy formation and to support catalysts which enable strategy formation. This dissertation provides exploratory findings into a phenomenon which has been limitedly researched. Further research should seek to generalise and test the findings on additional SMEs.

Donohoe, Stephen. "An examination of strategy development and strategic management processes within growth-seeking small businesses." Thesis, Middlesex University, 2015. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/18400/.
Full textAbstract:
This doctoral thesis responds to the need for greater understanding of what constitutes effective strategic management practice in successfully developing small firms. And an associate need to enhance the strategic management capability of small business owner managers and ability of support providers to deliver sound, pragmatic strategy development assistance. The study in its action research mode of investigation recognises and attempts to address the numerous shortcomings and pitfalls associated with small business management. Integral to this approach is a longitudinal business development project-orientation to facilitate the fulfilling of parallel academic and small business development practice objectives. The research approach is based upon the premise that there is a glove-tight relationship between advances in knowledge and the research methodology which facilitate those knowledge advances. An overarching aim of this study is thus the development of a creative and innovative research approach to enable production not only of advances in small business strategic management knowledge and practical small business development, but also a base research methodology capable of ongoing refinement and use by others in the future. The origins of the methodology lay in the non-acceptance of traditional philosophical positions in epistemology and ontology, with a philosophical standpoint of constructive alternativism underpinning the research and the use of a drive theory which builds out of that standpoint. As part response to that philosophical positioning, the concept of epistemological bootstrapping is used to develop a ‘partial research framework’ to foothold and inform the qualitative action research process. The key insights highlighted by the ‘bootstrap’ facilitate design and development of the innovative methodology, integral to which is a close ‘rich’ working partnership interface with the participant small business owner managers. A novel attempt at linked multi-level and processual (contextualist) analysis was attempted within an action research approach which is underpinned and driven by personal construct theory. Both researcher and the researched are thus treated as ‘man the scientist’ who is progressively seeking to refine and enhance his own personal constructions of phenomenon, issues and circumstances facing him throughout his life. Such conceptualisation facilitates the build up of dual working partner investigation using live, longitudinal practical business development projects to produce tangible outputs for both parties - academic small business management knowledge for the researcher and world of academia and practical strategic development and associate knowledge and enhanced abilities for the owner manager.

Abinusawa, Adedayo. "Growth investment matrix : a framework linking corporate venture capital investment with business growth strategy." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2017. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/278019.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the role of corporate venture capital (CVC) investment in business growth strategy. It is particularly concerned with identifying the CVC investment options for business development and growth. Business growth strategy involves choices of products (and services) or markets for an organisation to enter or exit. An organisation has a choice between penetrating its existing markets, developing new products for its existing markets, bringing its existing products into new markets, or diversifying its activities by introducing new products into new markets. A framework linking CVC investment with business growth strategy is developed and is used for identifying the relevant contribution which the different CVC investments make to business growth. Firms interested in diversifying their investment portfolio utilise CVC for this purpose. These investments, however, support organisational growth when they are aligned to business strategy, defined by the goal of increasing demand for existing products (or services), bringing new products to existing markets faster, protecting against a competitive threat which involves offering existing products to new markets, and developing new products in new markets. There are instances where CVC investments can be used as a channel for later stage funding of corporate venturing projects. This thesis highlights the fact that contrary to both popular wisdom and academic arguments, CVC funds can still be successful when they function like independent venture capital funds, with reliance on financial return on investment as critical to their success. They are, however, able to endure by executing this practice in line with the corporation’s business growth strategy. Using archival data collected from three case studies over a 34-year period, the framework developed from literature review is applied as a basis for understanding how CVC investment can be linked to business growth strategy.

Full textAbstract:
Theory on entrepreneurship suggests that the relationship between an entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance is positive. In explaining performance, entrepreneurship researchers have focused on its financial aspects, paying less attention on firm growth as a nonfinancial performance dimension. Moreover, when attempting to depict influences that reinforce this relationship, research attention emphasizes factors external to the firm, thus neglecting the effects of internal firm characteristics. In parallel, the resource based view, focusing on the nature and characteristics of internal firm assets, proclaims that the basis for achieving sustainable performance is related to the capacity to develop dynamic capabilities. As the debate on these higher order assets is emerging, the present study attempts to investigate their nature and performance implications by taking into account the unique physiognomy of small firms, presenting dynamic capabilities as aspects of firms' flexibility. Moreover, this study examines their complementary effects on the entrepreneurial orientation - small firm growth relationship, in terms of their moderating and collective effects. Drawing from a sample of 143 Greek small firms, analysis demonstrated that: a) an entrepreneurial orientation contributes to small firm growth, b) dynamic capabilities have positive effects on small firm growth, c) the entrepreneurial orientation - small firm growth relationship is influenced by dynamic capabilities and d) speed of responsiveness emerges as the most fundamental dynamic capability both in terms of its direct effects to performance as well as its moderating effect on the entrepreneurial orientation - small firm growth relationship. These results contribute to the entrepreneurship literature by demonstrating a unified picture that depicts a series of key competencies, offering a conceptual and empirical path to better understand the uniqueness of smaller organisations

Includes bibliographical references (p. 94-96).
This paper aims to develop potential strategies for Korean shipbuilders for sustainable growth by understanding the characteristics of the shipbuilding industry and the current market situation. Before the financial meltdown in 2008, in the five preceding years, the healthy global economy and the rapid growth of the Chinese economy led to 35% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in shipbuilding orders. Korean shipbuilders' sales and profits increased dramatically and they invested aggressively to meet the global demand. However, because of the financial crisis, the shipbuilding orders in 2009 decreased by 92% compared to 2007. Accordingly, the decrease in new orders will become a serious risk for Korean shipbuilders to manage because it will cause loss of economies of scale and cash deficit, at the same time. Historically, it is true that the profits of Korean shipbuilders generally mirrored the volume of global seaborne trade, which is ultimately driven by global GDP growth. However, even though the world growth rate, as predicted by OECD, turns positive in 2010, the drastic shrinkage in the shipbuilding demand may not easily recover because of oversupply of fleet volume. In this thesis, I will address current status of the shipbuilding market, project a market forecast, and analyze financial information of four major Korean shipbuilders. Considering the current market situation and financial status of Korean shipbuilders, I will suggest for Korean shipbuilders some potential business strategies as follows: focusing on offshore units, exploiting new market demand, and considering business diversification.

Mestrado em FinançasAo longo dos anos o franchising tem vindo a desempenhar um papel importante no crescimento das organizações. O principal objetivo desta dissertação é avaliar de que modo o franchising tem vindo a contribuir para o crescimento e internacionalização do grupo Inditex e de que forma a companhia seleciona os mercados e como determina a entrada nesses mercados. Nesta dissertação procedeu-se à análise de frequências do número de unidades entre 2002 e 2013 tendo em conta as diferentes marcas do grupo Inditex, as diferentes localizações geográficas e os diferentes tipos de exploração (lojas franchising em oposição a lojas próprias). Seguidamente, procedemos igualmente a uma análise financeira que nos parece indicar que não existe relação entre os indicadores financeiros e o tipo de exploração escolhida. A análise de frequências anteriormente mencionada permitiu-nos o desenvolvimento de um estudo de correlações onde são também tidas em conta variáveis económicas, políticas, legais e demográficas. Concluímos que há uma grande relação entre a localização e o tipo de exploração e uma relação não tão linear entre a localização e a marca. Além disso, concluímos que em países onde o poder de compra dos consumidores é mais baixo e/ou o rendimento é assimétrico, os contratos de franchising são mais comuns assim como em países com uma perceção mais elevada dos níveis de corrupção e uma política interna instável.
hrough the years franchising has been playing a major role in the growth of companies. The main purpose of this dissertation is to evaluate the importance of franchising to Inditex growth and internationalization and explain how market selection and entry strategy of franchised units is developed by the company. In this dissertation we proceeded to a frequency analysis of the number of units between 2002 and 2013 taking into consideration Inditex’s different brands, different geographic locations and different types of exploration (franchising or company-owned units). We also proceeded to a financial analysis that allowed us to conclude that there is no relationship between the group financial indicators and the type of exploration chosen. Moreover, the frequency analysis previously mentioned allowed us to develop a correlation study where we also took into consideration economic, political, legal and demographic variables. We concluded that there is a higher relationship between the location and the type of exploration and a certain relationship, more weakly, between the location and the type of brand. Moreover, we found out that in countries where the purchasing power is lower and/or there is asymmetric, income franchising agreements are more common as well as in countries with higher perception of corruption and unstable political environment.

Full textAbstract:
Companies operating in emerging markets face highly turbulent and complex environments. Russia is no exception; the firms acting on the Russian market perform in the conditions of economic instability, energy export dependence, state bureaucratic constraints and unfair competition from the part of oligarchic groups. However, despite all these challenges, more and more private owned companies manage to enjoy high growth and margins. A critical group of firms are the so-called high-growth private companies. These firms arouse special interest since they are believed to be main growth generators and, particularly in Russia, could become a key to new economic growth model. Operating in a highly turbulent Russian market requires companies to adopt and continually develop their strategies to quickly changing conditions in order to sustain growth and stay competitive in the long term. This can be achieved with the help of dynamic capabilities which serve as one of the sources of sustainable competitive advantage. However, there is a lack of research on Russian high-growth private companies and their growth strategies, even in Russian academic circles. The purpose of this study is to explain the sustainability of growth strategy by describing the linkages between Russian high-growth private companies’ dynamic capabilities, choice of growth strategy and sustainability of this growth strategy. This was studied through a qualitative multiple-case study of five Russian high-growth private companies within the IT-industry, which is one of the most rapidly developing industries in Russia. Interviews with CEOs and managers of the companies together with secondary data represent the gathered empirical data. Key issues such as companies’ dynamic capabilities, growth strategies, competitive advantages as well as the sustainability of companies’ strategies were analysed based on the empirical data. The results of the study indicate that the sustainability of company’s growth strategy depends on (1) combination of different strategic scopes (2) growth strategy foundation on company’s dynamic capabilities (3) sustainability of competitive advantage it provides (4) successful management of all the interconnected dimensions of growth. All five case companies possess sustainable competitive advantages and pursue sustainable growth strategies with a number of potential weaknesses. The study contributes to the knowledge of Russian high-growth private companies and their growth strategies as well as sustainability of growth strategies. Finally, we make recommendations for the case companies based on the results. Companies can sustain growth by building new competences and making certain changes to the existing strategies.

Full textAbstract:
The results of five experiments are reported as tests of a theory of the growth and feed intake of sheep. An attempt is first made to describe potential growth in the sheep, that is, growth under non-limiting conditions, and to generalise this description across breeds. The two ways of providing non-limiting conditions are then considered. This approach necessarily confronts the problem of predicting the desired intake of feed resources required to fulfill the potential. Whilst ad libitum access to a single,nutrient-rich feed is found an acceptable method, data collected in three experiments, using a total of 64 Suffolk X Greyface lambs, lead to theconclusion that sheep can also attain their potential for growth when given free and continual access to more than one feed, a possible combination of which is non-limiting to growth. It is suggested that the technique may be applied as an independent test of other estimates of resource requirements for growth and to the prediction of feeding behaviour in sheep. The responses of sheep to limiting conditions for growth are studied on the assumption that sheep have rules for partitioning the feed's first limiting resource. The limits to this view are investigated by experiment using 73 Scottish Blackface wethers offered amounts of feed which provide similar crude protein allowances but different yields of energy. It is concluded that the body composition of sheep can be manipulated by nutrition, since the animals will partition scarce energyresources to protein growth before fattening, but that this effect is complicatedin ruminants because protein supply is not independent of feeding level. The theory is then applied to the problem of predicting the recovery of sheep from the effects of growth restraint. An experiment involving 30 Scottish Blackface wethers provides data which support the idea that sheep, following a period of underfeeding, will resume their known potential for growth and, only when necessary, restore their body composition to the state dictated by their inheritance. No compensatory growth is observed. Finally, the work as a whole is discussed in relation to animal science and the sheepmeat industry. Possibilities for future research are also suggested. The experimental data are published in full in the appendices.

Full textAbstract:
In late 1999, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) jointly launched the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) Initiative, under which low income countries (LICs) would be supported to develop multi-sectoral economic and social development plans. As such, these national PRSs would serve as the effective policy conditionality for concessional lending and the allocation of debt relief. Heralded by many as path breaking, the Initiative refocused attention on the role of the State and identified poverty reduction, as opposed to growth alone, as the primary goal of policy. However, from the outset, PRSs have been controversial. The most trenchant critics have described these plans as merely re-formulated structural adjustment packages. Other, more considered accounts, have questioned whether PRSs’ are capable of overcoming the agency problems inherent to donor-recipient relationships, and their ability to succeed in the weak policy environment typified by most LICs.In spite of the passage of some ten years, a rigorous evaluation of performance has yet to be published. This thesis aims to provide such an appraisal drawing on both quantitative and qualitative evidence. It employs cross-sectional statistical and econometric methods to examine poverty, growth and inequality outcomes based on a specially constructed dataset; and two detailed analytical case studies (for Mongolia and Vietnam) to probe the causal processes.Although some aggregate evidence is found of performance gains (relating to both poverty reduction and growth), these effects are partial and statistically fragile. Moreover, while no direct evidence is found of dis-inflationary policy biases, it is possible to detect a new narrowness within PRS policymaking. This reflects an orthodox policy consensus which favours growth over distributional improvements and places emphasis on a managed liberalization process. Additionally, it proved very difficult to find a causal link been PRS adoption and beneficial outcomes. The case study materials underline the pivotal role played by the IFIs in the design and management of PRSs, and their transitory and limited impact on actual national policy responses. Conclusions support many of the propositions put by the critical literature, and find that PRSs are poorly adapted to local institutional frameworks and neglect national political economies. As a result, their substance and longer term effectiveness is in doubt.

It has been highlighted as a key area for organisations to focus on, yet, CEM is continuously being researched both by researchers and business practitioners as there is still a vague understanding on the topic. Nonetheless, CEM has been displayed as a successful process, however, very little research has gone into showing that it could enable organizational growth.

The general aim of this study was to develop a strategic plan for a company in the dust
suppression industry. Currently there is no formal process documented or analysis done
within the company regarding strategic planning due to the company being founded,
extensive growth taking place year on year and the urgent need for the operations to be
established, in order for the company to start selling their products and services. The
study was conducted among a sample of 45 junior, middle and senior management
employees within this company.
The data collected from the participants were collected personally via interviews and a
strategic planning questionnaire and recorded electronically by the Statistical Consultation
Services at the North–West University and the data were analysed by means of the
Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS V18). In addition to the structured
questionnaires, management was also interviewed to assess their views on the strategic
planning at the company.
The results and findings indicated that there was some strategic planning actions lacking
and that formal strategic planning that defines objectives and assessment of the various
situations within the company, are not properly performed. The author was however able
to evaluate and determine where the company is going over the next three years. The
study draws a number of conclusions and makes recommendations with regard to
strategic planning, one of which is that the company should follow a more structured and
formalised approach.Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production by Pichia pastoris-Mut+ strain was improved by designing feeding strategies which were applied in the production phase of the bioreactor operations. During the bio-reactor experiments the cell growth, sorbitol and methanol consumptions, recom-binant hGH production, alcohol oxidase (AOX) activity, the by-products protease and organic acid concentrations were followed and analyzed. In this context, in the first part of the study, three bioreactor operations were designed and per-formed. In general, the designed strategies are fundamentally based on simulta-neous feeding of the two substrates starting at t=0 h of the production phase, i.e., batch-wise 50 gL-1sorbitol feeding, together with fed-batch methanol feeding with a specific growth rate of &mu0=0.03 h-1 or &mu
0=0.04 h-1, and fed-batch sorbitol feeding with a specific growth rate of &mu
0=0.025h-1 which was calculated based on the specific consumption rate qS=0.152 g g-1h-1 of sorbitol. Consequently, sorbitol concentration was kept constant at 50 gL-1 within t=0-15h of the production phase
where, sorbitol feeding was terminated at t=15h. Amongst, in the first strategy (SSM1), methanol was fed to the system with the specific growth rate of &mu
0=0.03 h-1, and the H+ concentration (pH) in the bioreactor was kept constant at pH=5.0. In the second strategy (SSM2), pH was kept constant at 5.5 until t=24h of the induction phase (production phase), thereafter, was reduced to pH= 5.0
where methanol was fed to the bioreactor with the specific growth rate of &mu
0=0.03 h-1. In the third strategy (SSM3), methanol was fed with the specific growth rate of &mu
0=0.04 h-1, and the pH in the bioreactor was kept constant at pH 5.0. The highest rhGH production and cell concentration were achieved in the first strategy SSM1 as CrhGH=640 mg L-1 and CX=105.3 g L-1, and the overall cell and product yields on total substrate were calculated as YX/S =0.21 g g-1 and YCrhGH/S =1.83 mg g-1. In the second part of this study the two-substrates sorbitol and methanol were fed simultaneously in a solution compose of 1.37 mol sorbitol and 6.21 mol methanol in 13.88 mol water, which is named as SM. In this strategy (SM), the two-substrate solution was fed to the medium with the specific growth rate of &mu
0=0.03 h-1 on sorbitol until t=30h
thereafter, only methanol was fed to the bio-reactor with the specific growth rate of &mu
0=0.03 h-1. The highest cell and rhGH concentrations obtained in SM were, respectively, Cx=104.7 g L-1 and CrhGH=124 mg L-1
and the overall cell and product yields on the total substrate were calcu-lated as YX/S=0.21 g g-1 and YCrhGH/S=0.39 mg g-1. Although the highest cell con-centration obtained at SM is close to that of the SSM1, the rhGH concentration obtained at SM is 5.2-fold lower than that of the strategy SSM1.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2004.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Developing economies are greatly influenced by changing factors of globalisation, trading pattems of industrialised countries and currency fluctuations. Trade reform is expected to play a critical role in creating competitive advantages among developing countries. However, liberalisation of developing countries has not always given the expected result. Too often, mullilateral organisations lecture developing countries on the merits of good governance, building dynamic institutions and greater openness to trade and foreign direct investments (FDI). The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that if Sub-Saharan Africa's institutional capacity were raised to the level of developed countries, per capita GDP would be raised by 150 percent. The rich world's trade protectionism and inadequate FDI inflows are blocking poor nations' efforts to integrate within the global economy. Currently, protectionist barriers set up by developed countries disrupt global economic market adjustments. Extending liberalisation to trade in all commodities would almost double world gains and would benefit developing countries in particular. To sustain development through liberalisation, nations need to reform themselves domestically and all nations must be given reasonably free market access.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ontwikkelende ekonomiee word grootliks beinvloed deur die veranderende omstandighede met betrekking tot globalisasie. Handelshervorming sal na verwagting 'n kritieke rol speel om 'n kompeterende voordeel te skep vir ontwikkelende lande. Nogtans het die liberalisering van sommige van hierdie lande nie die verwagte resultaat gelewer nie. Dit gebeur gereeld dat multilaterale organisasies ontwikkelende lande voorskryf oor die meriete van goeie bestuur, die ophou van dinamiese instellings en 'n meer ontvanklike houding teenoor buitelandse handel en beleggings. Die Internasionale Monetere Fonds (IMF) skat dat as die institusionele kapasiteit van Suid van die Sahara Afrika tot op die vlak van ontwikkelde lande verhoog word, die bruto binnelandse produk (BBP) per capita met 150 persent sal styg. Maar die ryk wereld se handelsbeskerming en die onvoldoende toevloei van buitelandse direkte investering, blokkeer arm nasies se pogings om die wereldekonomie te betree. Tans ontwrig die beskermende maatreels in ontwikkelde lande die vermoe van die wereldwye ekonomiese mark om aan te pas. Deur liberalisering ten opsigte van alle handelsgoedere uit te brei, kan die wereld-winste bykans verdubbel word. Ontwikkelende lande sal veral hierby baat vind. Om ontwikkeling deur liberalisering te bevorder, moet nasies binnelands hervorm en alle nasies moet redelike vrye toegang tot die wereldmark gebied word.

Entrepreneur use existing resources constantly looking for opportunities for the creation of new businesses. They have accumulated enough experience in the existing environment, contacts and sources of funding. May be missing is an opportunity. The industry operation changed rapidly . There are many new comers or substituted waiting for a chance to share the market in addition to existing industrial participants. Hence, many companies continue to pursue growth. Beside revenue and market shared, prefer to use their own operation efficiency to accumulate growth momentum. Many followers have no opportunity to develop new technology for the destructive innovation to generate new markets. But use a different strategy to continuous growth in the industry. The global economy changed by rapid rising of China area. The growth model is much faster than many industries. It started from imitation to efficient construction. By demographic dividend accumulated strength of market power. Started from a global manufacturing center, became a global consumer center. They are so aggressive became a worldwide semiconductor industry research and manufacturing leader. Semiconductor industrial contribute the major part of Taiwan economy.

Acquisitive growth strategies continue to be popular. Through the mergers and acquisitions (M&A), corporate not only reinforces its competitive position but expands its customer base to provide greater scale to increase its investment in R&D. Through the M&A, corporate accelerates innovation, as a result grows its earnings as well as the stockholder value. The success of a merger or acquisition depends on whether its synergy is achieved or not. This study provides an overview of Oracle’s strategic M&A and examines the effectiveness of its acquisition strategy. An active acquisition program is an important element among Oracle’s corporate strategy. Over the past three years, Oracle has dealt with 40 acquisitions including acquired PeopleSoft, Inc., a provider of enterprise applications software products; Siebel Systems, Inc., a provider of customer relationship management software; Hyperion Solutions Corporation, a provider of enterprise performance management and business intelligence software; and so many others. Oracle has evolved to the point that it is more dependent than ever on its acquired applications products to restore growth, deliver innovation and differentiation, and herald a new era of market leadership. Those acquisitions also enable Oracle to pool best business practices and technology to create even more competitive products for improving profitability and enabling greater investment for future competitive advantage. Its acquisition strategy has transformed the company. In terms of Resource-Based theory applying to acquisitions, this view suggests that resources may motivate and direct acquisitive growth. In this study, Oracle is using its technical and financial resources to solve problems in enterprise application market for their customers as well as consolidate its position as a leader in the enterprise applications marketplace. This study can be a reference for firms who want to adopt strategic M&A as corporate growth strategy.

Presently, Mediatek is the largest fabless IC design house in Taiwan. In 2007, is the 7th largest fabless design house in the world, and its optical storage chipset shipment ranked no. 1. Product lines of Bur-ray DVD chipset, mobile phone chipset and digital TV chipset were time to market and achieved leading positions in a short time effectively. The theme of this thesis is to decrypt the hidden formula of Mediatek’s growth strategy. According to this study, there development model between product lines of Mediatek is identical. Firstly, Mediatek is not at all the first-mover. Instead, it is a follower. During technology adoption life cycle, Mediatek always entered markets after the stage of ‘crossing the chasm’ and before the stage of ‘tornado’. Secondly, Mediatek’s strategy was ‘sustaining innovation’ and ‘disruptive innovation’. Mediatek took restructuring and developing value chain, changed the original rule of the game between IC design house and manufacturing executing system (MES), it upgraded the competitiveness of MES itself. The success of innovation was due to ‘core competence’ of Mediatek. Its core competence was gained and developed from the following: internal R&D, company acquisition, collaborative development and warrant technology utilization. Mediatek applied the same success model and succeed in the following product lines. The growth strategy of Mediatek can be decrypted in the models of ‘Technology Adoption Life Cycle’, ‘Disruptive Innovation Theory’, ‘Value Chain Evolution Theory’ and ‘Core Competence’. The strategy models were repeated and formed a success model, which is unique and hard to be duplicated by competitors. The models can be references for future growth strategies in high technology industry which is knowledge-intensive and technical supportive. The findings of this thesis are informative to the study of corporate growth strategies.

Telcos are increasingly positioning their IPTV services as part of bundled broadband packages, and the services are gaining subscribers at a rapid pace. The number of global Telco IPTV subscribers is expected to grow from 32 million in 2009 to 98 million in 2014. The Telco IPTV service is the spotlight of telecom operators around the world. In Taiwan, the leading telecom operator, Chunghwa Telecom, started to offer multimedia on demand (MOD) services to increase his revenues of fixed line network since 2004. However the ROI of MOD is not as expected. How Telcos can stay competitive and make profit in IPTV service is discussing in these years. This paper uses Ansoff Growth Matrix to explore the growth strategy for Telcos in Taiwan by studying global IPTV market trend, industry value chain, consumer behaviors, and service cases in Europe, United States and Taiwan. We found that Telcos in Taiwan can differentiate, generate new revenue opportunities and pull subscribers away from competitors through offerings rich content. Content is known as the king for video entertainment service. To attract the new customers and reduce the churn rate, Telcos must provide diversity content and shorten time to market as soon as possible. In the other hand, the content must satisfy the needs of all family members. Most IPTV services are competitive price-wise. There are three factors – platform, content, and time – needed to be considered when developing pricing strategy. The MSO (Multi-System Operator) always have the advantage of owning content sources. To compete against MSO, Telcos can use "profit-sharing” strategy to encourage content providers providing rich content for them. Besides, Telcos might open his IPTV platform to encourage content providers as channel operators and get the win-win position. The IPTV service is user-centric. Users expect these applications to be very simple and intuitive to use—like their televisions, not their computers. Telcos should provide the usability and “plug-and-play” features that make IPTV service easier to set up and operate. Broadband network is the main advantage of Telcos to provide IPTV service compared with other Pay-TV operators. Telcos must employ this advantage to provide high definition program and explore the quad-play service by offering voice, data, video and mobile service. With this convergence service, customers can enjoy IPTV content anytime, anywhere with any device. Digital home service is the emerging topic in these years. With digital home service, people can enrich their life with featuring of safety, healthy, comfort, energy saving, peace of mind and sustainability. Telcos can expand their IPTV service by integrating the digital home service through IPTV set-top-box and expand their market position by proving IPTV service for MDU (Multi-dwelling unit) and hotels. By considering ways to grow via existing products and new products, and in existing markets and new markets, we found that there are great opportunities for Telcos in Taiwan to increase their IPTV revenues.

In recent years, ready-to-drink industry in Latin America had shown promising opportunities and growth due to growing disposable income and increasing middle income class. These positive signs of growth had therefore intensified the industry by attracting more competitors and brands into the market. The result of this intensification is the negative impact that weighs on Valle Verde’s business, a trading company of Aloe Vera juice in Costa Rica. With the growing competitors that is hindering its growth, Valle Verde is urgently requiring a plan for growth. Hence, this report is written with the intention of revealing possible strategic approaches that Valle Verde can adopt to achieve business growth. Through comprehensive analyses, strategies for business growth are recommended and concluded. Firstly, Valle Verde must gain the ability to lower costs while aiming for increase of sales volume. Secondly, Valle Verde can expand its product portfolio by providing prebiotic drinks that helps on meeting the growing demands for healthy food and beverages in Latin America. Lastly, it is imperative for Valle Verde to enter the modern traditional as there is a growing inclination towards this channel. However, in order to gain market share in this channel, Valle Verde must engage in marketing activities to create brand awareness for its products.

Abstract The variations of tissue components (including axial skeleton, sclerite and fleshy tissue) in weight and the distribution of different types of sclerites in various lengths of Junceella fragilis collected from Maopitou and Xia-shui-jui were studied. The weight proportion of axial skeleton and colony length is positively correlated while that of sclerites and colony length is negatively correlated. Sclerites are the major support structure for small colonies, but axial skeletons play a more important role for supporting long colonies. The weight fractions of scelrites at colony base are higher than those at the middle and top of the long colonies (>40 cm). The density of double-head sclerites is higher at colony base, but the densities of club sclerites are higher at the middle and top of colony. This may reflect the support functions of different types of sclerites. For comparisons between the two populations, the weight of axial skeleton and sclerites is negatively correlated in Maopitou population. However, the weight of axial skeleton and fleshy tissues is negatively correlated in Xia-shui-jui population. The width proportions of axial skeleton at colony base and is positively correlated with colony length at the Maopitou population, but this relationship does not exist in Xia-shui-jui population. These results indicate that colony size and different habitats may influence the growth strategies of Junceella fragilis.

Among all the key factors that led to the vigorous growth of Taiwan’s semiconductor industry during the past two decades, “Dedicated Specialization” is considered the most important one. Since 1994, the outburst of new players in every aspects of the semiconductor industry ranging from design, manufacturing, packaging to testing, had induced fierce competition within each sector. Because of such competition, the number of packaging houses in Taiwan had reduced from 37 in 2004 to 30 in 2007. However, driven by cost and industry disintegration, IDMs had gradually adopted asset-light strategy by increasing outsourcing ratios and releasing manufacturing orders. For those companies who want to have a share on IDM businesses, they would need to continue investing in capacity expansion and technology advances while competiting with both domestic players and those low cost competitors from China.Therefore, how to improve operation efficiency, ensure positive cash flow, and to add capacity support through strategic alliance or M&A, had been the most discussed issues in the industry. This research is aiming at the historical development and the related financial statement of ASE, a Taiwanese packaging & testing company, to study its growth model. Since the inception of ASE in 1984, ASE’s market cap had grown 400 times from NTD 250 millions to over NTD 100 billions and become world’ #1 assembly/test company. The main focus of this research is to discuss whether such high growth is built on external investment (the origin won’t be discussed in this research!) or on the intrinsic value growth of its assets. To further understand ASE's development, this research also carried out the comparative analysis on and between its historical financial statement in recent years and those of similar firms in the OTC market (or went public) to analyze the enterprise in every aspect. The noteworthy results are as followings: 1. ASE’s asset change is not directly related to its profits, therefore the principal factor of its growth is the resources investment! 2. The growth of ASE assets is attributed to the successful execution of its acquisition strategy which is also the driving force of its profit growth 3. Even though there is no direct model to prove the relevance between M&A activities and asset growth, we believe downturn had accelerated IDM’s order release which led to the asset growth of ASE during economy downturns.

The main objective of this case study is to present the main points of the acquisition process of Schlecker stores in Portugal, to understand how it started, what were the key challenges that Dia Portugal faced - considering internal changes and external shocks - and what were the resources and capabilities needed to surpass them in order to sustain a competitive advantage. It is also important to highlight what kind of impact the acquisition had on company’s performance and on the Portuguese market. At last, students can apply several strategic frameworks to a real business situation.
DIA is an international food distribution group with a network of discounts supermarkets and drugstores. In Portugal, it operates with the Minipreço and Clarel’s flag.
With the economic crisis, DIA began to notice a gap in the Portuguese market regarding an offer with quality and economically accessible in the beauty category. Following its expansion strategy through the acquisition process, DIA decided to specialize in the Beauty & Personal Care segment to take advantage of two major opportunities: develop the category with the worst results in the market and, at the same time, rethink a new strategy of own brands. However, the process has shown several challenges at different organization’s levels.O principal objetivo deste estudo de caso é apresentar uma visão geral do processo de aquisição das lojas Schlecker em Portugal. Entender como começou, quais foram os principais desafios enfrentados pela Dia Portugal – considerando mudanças internas e choques externos – e quais foram os recursos e capacidades necessárias para os superar de forma a suster uma vantagem competitiva. Também é importante destacar que tipo de impacto a aquisição teve no desempenho da empresa e no mercado português. Por fim, os alunos poderão aplicar vários quadros estratégicos de sala de aula a uma situação real de negócios. Dia é um grupo internacional de distribuição alimentar com uma rede de supermercados que aposta num formato discount e, mais recentemente, também com uma rede de drugstores. Em Portugal atua com a bandeira do Minipreço e Clarel. Com a crise económica, DIA percebeu uma lacuna no mercado português em relação a uma oferta com qualidade e acessível na categoria de beleza. Seguindo a sua estratégia de expansão, através do processo de aquisição, decidiu especializar-se no segmento de Beleza&Cuidados Pessoais para tirar proveito de duas grandes oportunidades: desenvolver a categoria que apresentava os piores resultados no mercado e repensar uma nova estratégia de marcas próprias. No entanto, o processo mostrou vários desafios em diferentes níveis da organização.
