Nicht-Sponsor Burger King setzte Ambush Marketing dabei gezielt im Rahmen der EM ein,um gegen den offiziellen UEFA-Sponsor und Marktführer McDonald's Punkte zu sammeln.
Die Internationalität muss das Markenzeichen und ein wesentlicher Bestandteil des Leitbildes einer Hochschule sein. Für die Strategieentwicklung und -umsetzung bedarf es der notwendigen Strukturen an einer Hochschule sowie der Vernetzung mit weiteren nationalen und internationalen Partnern. Keine Hochschulleitung würde dieses Erfordernis in Zweifel ziehen. Und doch unterschätzen noch immer Rektorate und Präsidien diesen "Dauer-Marathon". Eine Internationalisierungsstrategie wird vielfach und damit gleichzeitig unkorrekt mit einem Perpetuum mobile
verglichen. Einmal verabschiedet, geht es weiter - es gibt keinen Stillstand. Aber das passendere Bild - auch für die Hochschule Reutlingen - ist die Strategie, die einem "kontinuierlichen Verbesserungsprozess" gleicht.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of sustainable closed-loop supply chain of the fashion brand Filippa K. Information on green fashion has been gathered and a case study approach on the fashion retailer
Filippa K conducted. Results show a switch in knowledge content between a fast fashion supply chain and a sustainable supply chain. Also there is an evolution in sustainability as companies, retailers, and manufactures suffer under pressure from the customers, governments, and the media. Sustainable fashion brands like Filippa K are interested in sharing precise knowledge on variety of aspects linked to the sustainable closed-loop supply chain. This research paper has been limited by less information and unexplored topics in the theme green fashion. This led to the personal critical disputation with the brand Filippa K.
Since there is no denying that transparency is increasingly central to corporate sustainability, the purpose of this paper is a case study on a company’s attempt to be fully transparent, hence, picking up the existent scholarly conversation about uncompromising supply chain transparency. Literature so far was found to be fairly limited, but, following a trend, has been rising in numbers over recent years. Addressing these shortcomings in the methodology, an in-depth literature review about the multiple dimensions of supply chain transparency has been performed and links within supply networks stressed. On this basis, a case study by exemplary illustrating the fashion label Honestby has been drafted and the effort to become the world’s first 100 % transparent company further examined. Findings are discussed whether more supply chain transparency is desirable in any case, obstacles listed and an outlook for this kind of business model has been drawn. The research is clearly limited by the amount of scholarly literature concerning Honestby in particular. Out of this reason, magazines and journal entries are used as reference as well. Only with the extension of the topic itself to supply chain transparency and the literature review beforehand, the paper gained its necessary academic standard. Concerning implications, it needs to be mentioned that even though Honest by demonstrates to be fully transparent, it was not possible to find any public information about the degree of supplier relationship. In particular, concerning the applied control mechanisms used to exert influence and to balance out the power gradient between company and suppliers.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the practice of closed-loop production systems (CLPS) is implemented in the fashion industry. This paper offers a critical literature review to present a thorough understanding of the actual status of literature. Subsequently, the paper reveals that CLPS are of great importance. Generally, such systems include different activities that have to be integrated. Critical points are the product acquisition, the recovering process itself and the remarketing to the customer. A lack of reliable data concerning CLPS in the specific case of fashion industry can be identified. Important research fields could be marketing strategies, controlling the acquisition process, evolvement of return technologies and strategies, adaption of recovered products to the mass market, and the development of new technologies concerning recovering processes.
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate consisting consumption patterns caused by fast fashion with a new appearing form of consumption and retaining potentials as an alternative as well as sustainable form of fast fashion consumption.

A new consumption pattern as well as an appearing economy of sharing can be stated including potential aspects of raising businesses and sustainable alternative forms of fast fashion.

The purpose of this research is to explore current boundaries of the fashion industry’s second hand market and which solutions and approaches can be adopted from the used-car industry. The paper is based on the study of existing literature which deals with sustainability in combination with second hand markets in general and adaptable features of the used-car industry. Adaptable features are found using the business model canvas. The key finding of this study indicates that the fashion industry faces immense social and environmental challenges which can be partly solved by the development of the second hand market. Used-car industry can be seen as role model for fashion retail. In this study only aspects of used-car distribution are highlighted; therefore, characteristics of the recycling of used cars are not examined.
- Die zunehmende Digitalisierung stellt sowohl Unternehmen als auch deren Mitarbeiter vor viele neue Herausforderungen und bietet zugleich ein hohes Chancenpotenzial.
- Die Chance, das mit der Digitalisierung verbundene Potenzial zu heben, ist abhängig von der Konsequenz der Umsetzung der Digitalisierung.
- Voraussetzung für eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung ist eine Digitalisierungsstrategie, die den Weg und die Ziele für alle Beteiligten transparent, nachvollziehbar und erstrebenswert macht.
- Eine gelebte und von allen mitgetragene Digitalisierungsstrategie impliziert eine Kulturveränderung im Unternehmen.
Trotz der oft schwierigen Rahmenbedingungen auf den Märkten Subsahara Afrikas ist es möglich, ein erfolgreiches Geschäft aufzubauen, sofern man die adäquate Markteintrittsform wählt und darüber hinaus bereit ist, das eigene Geschäftsmodell an die lokalen Gegebenheiten anzupassen. Eine Herausforderung ist die politische, wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Heterogenität in Subsahara Afrika, die es unmöglich macht, den Kontinent als einen Markt zu bearbeiten. Allerdings gibt es seit Jahrzehnten regionale Integrationsabkommen, die jedoch erst in den letzten Jahren wiederbelebt und vorangetrieben wurden, wie z. B. die ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States), die EAC (East African Community) und die SADC (South African Development Corporation). Inzwischen funktionieren diese Initiativen soweit, dass einige ausländische Unternehmen beginnen, Teile des Geschäftes regional und nicht mehr national zu organisieren, also die Länder als gemeinsamen Markt zu bearbeiten. In der Regel sind die kulturellen Unterschiede in Nachbarländern nicht so groß. Aus diesen Gründen besteht Wachstumspotential für geschäftlich interessante Märkte in Subsahara Afrika.
While the topic of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has generated an increasing amount of research attention in recent years, still lacking is a comprehensive overview that helps to explain how companies can implement CRM successfully. To address these issues, this article identifies and discusses factors that are associated with a greater degree of CRM success. More specifically, we identify and discuss determinants on strategy, human resources, information management, structure and processes as well as specific factors within the implementation phase which help to improve CRM success. First, our results indicate that the implementation of CRM processes is associated with better company performance, especially at the relationship initiation and maintenance stage. Second, the findings emphasis a predominant influence of firm-based factors vis-à-vis structural industry, and customer-based factors. Furthermore, cross-functional CRM teams and a top management feeling responsible for CRM projects help to improve CRM success. In addition, internal processes which are related to customer contact points have to be redesigned to enhance the interaction between employees and customers. The current article sheds more light on what really drives CRM success.
