Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Fidentia became an active player in the South African financial services industry in 2005, only a few years since its inception. This was achieved through aggressive take-overs and a favourable public image boosted by employing known sports personalities and sponsorships of various sports teams, charities and other events. The Fidentia group seemed to go from strength to strength under the leadership of Mr. Arthur Brown assisted by his senior management team of which none more prominent than Mr. Graham Maddock. The group’s main business is Fidentia Asset Management (FAM) which, during 2003 and 2004, secured two of the biggest clients in Fidentia’s history. In 2003 the Transport Education Training Authority (TETA) invested R200,3 million and R1,2 billion of the Mineworkers Provident Fund was placed under its’ management in 2004. The Fidentia group was placed under final curatorship on 27 March 2007, based on reports by the then provisional curators and the Financial Services Board which claimed that their inspectors could not trace R680 million of almost R2 billion under the management of FAM.
The analysis of the unfolding Fidentia case will show that without proper strategic planning and management, as well as adherence to suggestions on good corporate governance stakeholders’ risk exposure can be increased.
NOTE: The information available till end August was analysed.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Fidentia was teen 2005 ‘n aktiewe speler in die Suid-Afrikaanse finansiële dienste industrie, slegs ‘n paar jaar nadat dit gestig is. Dit is bereik deur aggresiewe oornames en ‘n publieke beeld wat versterk is deur bekende sportpersoonlikhede aan te stel en verskeie sportspanne, liefdadigheidsorganisasies en ander gebeurlikhede te borg. Die Fidentia groep het skynbaar van krag tot krag gegaan onder die leierskap van Mnr. Arthur Brown, ondersteun deur sy senior bestuurspan waarvan niemand meer prominent as Mnr. Graham Maddock. Die groep se hoofbesigheid is Fidentia Asset Management (FAM) wat gedurende 2003 tot 2004 twee van die grootste kliënte in Fidentia se geskiedenis verseker het. Gedurende 2003 het die “Transport Education Training Authority (TETA)” R200,3 miljoen by FAM belê en R1,2 biljoen van die “Mineworkers Provident Fund” is in 2004 onder FAM se bestuur geplaas. Die Fidentia group is op 27 Maart 2007 onder finale kuratorskap geplaas gebasseer op verslae deur die destydse voorlopige kurators en die Finansiële Dienste Raad wat beweer het dat hul inspekteure nie R680 miljoen van die amper R2 biljoen onder FAM se bestuur kon opspoor nie.
Die analise van die Fidentia saak soos dit ontvou, sal wys dat sonder behoorlike strategiese beplanning en bestuur, asook die voldoening aan voorstelle van goeie korporatiewe bestuur belanghebbendes se blootstelling aan risiko kan verhoog.
NOTA: Die inligting beskikbaar tot einde Augustus 2007 is ontleed.

Zhang, Guanghua. "Performance Analysis and Strategic Management of Longitudinal Pavement Markings." NCSU, 2009. http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/theses/available/etd-11062009-155546/.
Full textAbstract:
This research evaluated longitudinal pavement marking performance and developed useful degradation models for paint pavement markings which can help transportation agencies meet the pending FHWA minimum retroreflectivity requirements. The impacts of several important factors (such as directionality, pavement type and roughness) on marking retroreflectivity were evaluated. With a large dataset in hand, we determined whether these factors had significant impacts on marking retroreflectivity. Paint pavement marking centerline retroreflectivity values measured in the direction of paint striping were found to be significantly higher than the values measured in the opposite direction. The mean values of the retroreflectivity measurements collected on the plant mixed pavements were found to be significantly larger than the values collected on the bituminous surface treatment (BST) pavements. Image processing techniques were used to analyze paint pavement marking surface glass bead density. Bead density values were found to have a positive correlation with marking retroreflectivity measurements. Higher glass bead density led to higher marking retroreflectivity. The research also compared existing marking retroreflectivity degradation models. A linear mixed effects model (LMEM) was selected as most appropriate for the paint marking retroreflectivity data. LMEMs were established for paint pavement markings based on the data collected in NC. The research outcomes can help transportation agencies have a better understanding of paint pavement marking performance, which can lead to cost savings by maximizing the marking service lifecycles.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design and Management Program, 2008.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 101-103).<br>This thesis studies an emerging web phenomenon - online opinion aggregator. The thesis first defines what an opinion aggregator is and then applies a holistic framework to analyze the opinion aggregator to understand its key characteristics. The research then zooms in on one of the most popular opinion aggregators, the product review aggregator, to understand its market opportunities, enabling technologies, and business models. The author samples nine product review aggregators based on the content type, the aggregation method, and the relationship with customers. An experiment of comparing product review ratings is also conducted to reveal issues and challenges faced by the product review aggregators.The conclusion of this research is that most review aggregators are still in their startup stage in which they are accumulating product review content and building a bigger user base. Many key enabling technologies such as natural language parsing and web text mining are still in the early stage of the technology evolution. Most of product review aggregators rely on advertising to sustain their businesses. Although aggregating product reviews is a good starting point, an aggregator needs to move towards a more comprehensive product research platform in order to grow its business.This research can be used by product review aggregators that want to gain a holistic understanding of the opinion aggregation eco-system and want to formalize their business strategies. The research also offers insights into the critical success factors of product review aggregators and can be helpful for anyone who wants to start a review aggregation-based business. The market researchers can benefit from this research with a better understanding of opinion aggregators and opportunities presented to the aggregators.<br>by Yongjiang (Jerry) Sun.<br>S.M.

Thesis, University of North Texas, 1996. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc278946/.
Full textAbstract:
In Strategic International Human Resource Management (SIHRM), the human resource function is actively involved in the strategic activities of the firm. While the idea holds promise as a useful response to global competition, previous research has provided limited supporting empirical evidence. Specifically, few studies have sought to equate certain outcomes with the degree of SIHRM practiced across various types of international firms. By separating firms into categories such as multidomestic, global, and hybrid, and by classifying SIHRM according to the degree of integration with strategic planning, a clearer picture could emerge as to the relationship between firm and SIHRMtype. To that end, top strategic executives, such as CEOs, and top HRM executives from eighty four U.S. based firms were surveyed regarding their firm type, the degree of SIHRM practiced, and certain outcomes such as amount of expatriate training and expatriate failure. Additionally, financial results were obtained to determine performance of various firms. Results indicated that while many companies choose a highly integrated formof SIHRM, there is no significant relationship between firm type and SIHRMtype. Additionally, there was no association detected between SIHRMtype and expatriate training and expatriate failure. Finally, there was no significant difference infinancialperformance between firms with the most integrated type of SIHRMand firms with less integrated versions. Interestingly, the HRMprofessionals were more likely to equate their firms with the most integrated types of SIHRMthan were other managers. This may mean that the relationship between HRM and strategic planning is often one of perception. A model of the relationships between SIHRM, firm type, HRM activities, and outcomes is proposed, along with suggestions for future research and limitations of the study.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: With each passing year and the intensification of competition, strategic
management becomes more important. In an ever-changing business
environment, management, and especially strategic management, becomes
increasingly crucial. This empirical study attempts to conduct a literature study
of strategic management in order to develop a strategic planning model. A
simplified model is proposed as a framework on which a practical application
can be made.
Boland PKS, a division of the Board of Executors, has been elected as the
organisation to whose strategic management the model will be applied.
Boland PKS will be applied to the model in an effort to accept or reject the
following statement of the problem: The author is of the opinion that strategic
planning is not being applied in Boland PKS.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Jaarliks toenemende kompetisie maak strategiese bestuur toenemend
belangrik in hedendaagse besigheid. In 'n snel-veranderende wêreld word
bestuur, en veral strategiese bestuur, kardinaal. Hierdie empiriese studie poog
om 'n literatuur studie in strategiese bestuur te doen ten einde 'n strategiese
beplanningsmodel te ontwikkel. 'n Eenvoudige model word dan voorgestel as
'n verwysingsraamwerk vir die praktiese toepassing van die model.
Boland PKS, 'n afdeling van die "Board of Executors", is gekies as die
organisasie waarop die model toegepas sal word. Die model sal op Boland
PKS toegepas word in a poging om die volgende probleemstelling te aanvaar
of te verwerp: " Die skrywer is van mening dat Boland PKS nie strategiese
beplanning toepas nie."

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, 2012.<br>"June 2012." Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 81-84).<br>Mobile money services are spreading rapidly in many developed and developing countries across the world. Whereas in developed economies these new services are seen as a way to make current services more functional and convenient, in the developing world their relevance in the process providing access to financial services to the poorest segments of the population is welcomed and encouraged by the international development community. The spread of mobile money is seen as a catalyst for financial inclusion and the speed at which these services become available will be partly due to the stakeholders' capacity for implementing them. Mobile money projects have new been launched across many developing nations, targeting the opportunity of a common phenomenon: a gap between the high penetration of mobile services and the low penetration of financial services. The measure of success of those ventures has been mixed, with hallmark cases rapidly reaching over 10% of the population and other cases being discontinued or re-launched in the face of failure. The history of the development of such projects highlights several lessons for current and future stakeholders. First, an industry context with high demand and low-enough penetration of financial services, together with a thriving and innovative telecommunications industry seems to be conductive to success. Second, a favorable regulatory environment in which regulators allow telecom operators, banks and small and medium-sized companies to experiment with different models to provide mobile money to the masses is advisable for avoiding roadblocks for growth. Third, success will partly depend on the service provider's capacity to develop a far-reaching ecosystem of merchants, agents, banks and other partners in order to achieve ubiquity. Lastly, services with strong network effects such as domestic remittances can deliver faster growth than others, seeding the scale needed to offer more complex financial services over mobile money platforms.<br>by Luis Caballero.<br>S.M.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of strategic group analysis is to find out if clusters of firms that have a similar strategic position exist within an industry or not. In this thesis, by using a conceptual framework that reflects the strategic context, contents and process of construction companies and utilising alternative clustering methods such as traditional cluster analysis, self-organizing maps, and fuzzy C-means technique, a strategic group analysis was conducted for the Turkish construction industry. Results demonstrate that there are three strategic groups among which significant performance differences exist. Self-organising maps provide a visual representation of group composition and help identification of hybrid structures. Fuzzy C-means technique reveals the membership degrees of a firm to each strategic group. It is recommended that real strategic group structure can only be identified by using alternative cluster analysis methods.
The positive effect of differentiation strategy on achieving competitive advantage is widely acknowledged in the literature and proved to be valid for the Turkish construction industry as a result of strategic group analysis. In this study, a framework is proposed to model the differentiation process in construction. The relationships between the modes and drivers of differentiation are analyzed by structural equation modeling. The results demonstrate that construction companies can either differentiate on quality or productivity. Project management related factors extensively influence productivity differentiation whereas they influence quality differentiation indirectly. Corporate management related factors only affect quality differentiation. Moreover, resources influence productivity differentiation directly whereas they have an indirect effect on quality differentiation.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Strategic planning and the successful implementation of strategic plans moulds
organisations and make them successful in the long term. Siemens-Information and
Communications (IC) has realised the need for strategic planning to remain
competitive and successful. The implementation of the strategic planning process at
Siemens-IC has created the opportunity to do that, but as many have realised, this
can only be achieved when the strategic plans have been successfully implemented.
The strategic planning process at Siemens-IC is not dysfunctional, in many instances
it has achieved a great deal. The problem is therefore not how to fix the strategic
planning process, but rather how to improve the implementation of the strategic
plans.
The successful implementation of strategic plans is summarised by outlining the
process used to derive the strategy, the governing principles for defining the strategy,
communication of the strategy and organisational accountabilities. These
components are supported by a strategy review process that is embedded in the
organisational process and improves the implementation of strategic plans. If all of
this occurs in the absence of a culture which promotes innovation, creativity and
strategic planning as part of all managers' functions, it is doomed to failure.
The strategic plans in Siemens-IC could be implemented better if the formulation of
strategy is seen as part of the line managers' functions. This would provide the
opportunity to improve communication, understanding and implementation of the
strategy throughout the organisation right down to the lowest levels. It is also
proposed that the implementation of strategic plans should be improved by linking
the formulation with the implementation of the strategy. This would ensure that what
has been envisioned will also be implemented. The last overall consideration for
Siemens-IC is to create an organisational culture of learning. Managers at all levels
should realise that formulating and implementing strategy is an ongoing journey that
should be managed, and where failures and successes should be seen as
opportunities to learn and improve. Achieving a culture of learning would improve the
organisation's overall success with the implementation of strategic plans.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Strategiese beplanning en die suksesvolle implementering van strategiese planne
vorm organisasies en maak hulle suksesvol oor die lang termyn. Die behoefte vir
strategiese beplanning in Siemens-Informasie en Kommunikasie (IK) is erken om die
maatskappy meer kompeterend en suksesvol te maak. Die implementering van
strategiese beplanning by Siemens-IK het die geleentheid geskep om dié doelwit te
bereik. Maar dit het ook die besef laat ontstaan dat dit slegs bereik kan word indien
die strategiese planne suksesvol geimplementeer word.
Die strategiese beplanningsprosesse by Siemens-IK is nie foutief nie, daar is
inteendeel vele gevalle waar dit suksesvol was. Die probleem is dus nie die
regstelling van die strategiese beplanningsproses nie, maar eerder hoe om die
implementering van die strategiese planne te verbeter.
Die suksesvolle implementering van die strategiese planne word saamgevat deur die
prosesse wat die strategie bepaal, die beginsels wat die bepaling van die strategie
reguleer, kommunikasie van die strategie en die organisatoriese
verantwoordelikhede te omskryf. Hierdie elemente word gerugsteun deur 'n strategie
hersieningsproses wat deel is van die organisatoriese prosesse, en verbeter die
implementering van die strategiese planne. Indien daar nie 'n kultuur wat innovasie,
kreatiwiteit en waar strategiese beplanning gesien word as deel van alle bestuurders
se funksies bestaan nie, sal implementering gedoem word om te faal.
Die implementering van strategiese planne in Siemens-IK kan verbeter word deur
strategie formulering deel van die lynbestuurders se funksies te maak. Dit sal die
geleentheid skep vir verbeterede kommunikasie, begrip en implementering van
strategie en dit na alle vlakke van die organisasie deur te voer tot op die laagste
vlakke. Daar word ook aanbeveel dat die formulering en die implementering van
strategie gekoppel moet word. Dit sal verseker dat dit wat beoog word, ook
geimplementeer sal word. Die laaste oorkoepelende oorweging is om 'n leerkultuur in
die organisasie te skep. Bestuurders op alle vlakke moet besef dat strategie
formulering 'n voorgesette proses is wat bestuur moet word, en waarin mislukkings
en suksesse as geleenthede vir leer en verbetering beskou moet word. Die
verwesenliking van 'n leerkultuur sal die implementering van strategiese planne, oor
die algemeen, meer suksesvol maak.

Full textAbstract:
Local government in England have reformed the management of their public services over many years. The increase in collaboration across the public sector between the public, private and voluntary sectors has been promoted under New Labour in public leisure provision, either through contracts or partnership arrangements. The transfer to collaboration has created significantly new modes of service delivery, including in-house, leisure trust, and private leisure management contractor arrangements. There is a need to examine and test in a more focused way the practices of those engaged in collaborative structures and reflect upon the implications these models present from a strategic management perspective. To this end, the thesis adopts a resource-based view of the firm and seeks to examine how the three approaches to public leisure provision develop strategies and effectively utilise and deploy resources through their strategic actions, with the overarching aim to achieve strategic outcomes. The main findings of the empirical analyses are two-fold. Firstly, of the three approaches examined, in-house provision has the most to gain from being more strategically aware. The case is made for significant strengthening oflocal government in-house managed facilities, which has often been viewed as the poor relation in public leisure provision and stands to lose the most in funding cuts and the subsidies provided to leisure trust rivals. Secondly, leisure trusts receive significant government funds and subsidies through tax breaks that are not forthcoming to rivals, which raises questions as to whether leisure trusts deserve such aid for delivering upon the social inclusion agenda of the government. Given that inclusion is not heavily emphasised or significantly achieved to any greater degree than rivals, it can be argued that this approach to provision does not justify the financial perks oftrust status provided to it. This thesis calls for a fundamental rethink of public policy and for the current public leisure management playing field to be levelled in a rebalance of opportunity and investment through the removal of anti-competitive measures in service delivery.

With the advent of digital imaging technology, the options available to consumers in consumer imaging have increased tremendously. From image capture through image processing and output, many options have emerged; however, the relative environmental impacts of these different options are not clear cut. Simplistically, one might say that the use of a digital camera has a lesser environmental burden than the use of a reloadable film camera because the image produced as a result of using the digital camera avoids chemicals in film developing. However, digital cameras require electronics and computers that need energy; and, energy production is one of the contributors to greenhouse gasses like CO2. Assessment of the environmental impacts of these different options can help provide feedback to decision makers and insights that will help reduce environmental impact through product system design.
One tool that has been used to relate environmental impacts with functions provide to consumers through products or services is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). LCA, which has been standardized by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in ISO14000, is used here to evaluate both traditional film and digital imaging systems. Data from publicly available databases and both external and internal Eastman Kodak Company studies were utilized to develop LCA modules for the different processes involved. Product and service business models are explored for both technologies through ten different imaging and output scenarios. The functional unit used is the capture, processing and output of one 4 x6 image. Four impact categories (energy use, greenhouse emission, water use and waste generation) across four life cycle phases (upstream, distribution, use, and end of life) are explored for the ten scenarios.
LCA is also evaluated as a tool to help facilitate strategic level environmental performance issues with both new and established business activities. Sensitivity analysis is also performed to evaluate the impact of assumptions made in the course of the assessment and comments are made regarding the effectiveness of LCA for strategic assessment and product service strategies in lowering environmental impact.
Results indicate that the lowest impact scenarios are Digital Capture to LCD Display for Greenhouse Emissions and Energy Use and Film Capture to Wholesale Print for Water Use and Waste Generation. Highest impacts were seen for Greenhouse Emissions in the Film Capture to Retail Print scenario. In the Energy Use and Water Use category, the Digital Capture to CRT Computer Display was the highest scenario. For Waste Generation, the Digital Capture to Inkjet Print was the highest impact scenario.
