Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the value of the web representation of certain fashion hot spots and how these results can be shown on fashion maps in an illustrated way.
Design/methodology/approach: A new ranking was created, which was evaluated with a self-instructed index, to gain solid results. Numbers were collected from Google, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and web.alert.io. Additionally, fashion maps were created for an illustrative visualization of the results.
Findings: Compared with the ranking of a trend forecasting agency, called Global Language Monitor, which concepted a ranking of non-virtual fashion cities, the web representation and therefore the ranking of the research project, differs mainly in the situation of the cities among the first 10, viz. the rank on which a city occurs, but fewer in the actual cities mentioned.
Research limitations: The research was limited to subjective analysis of data, leading to partly subjective results, as well as the selected number of social media platforms, that had been used.
Originality/value: This is the first study to explore the web representation value of fashion metropolises in comparison to their non-virtual ranking. The results are partly based on results that already existed, concerning transformations of fashion cities or in general which cities own the status of a fashion city.
This study analyses the impact of Basel III on the fair pricing of bank guarantee facilities.Guarantees are an important risk mitigation instrument between exporters and importers in international trade and regularly a prerequisite for cross border sales contracts to be closed. Basel III – which shall be introduced from 2013 onwards - is a new regulation stipulating higher capital requirements for banks compared to the predecessor Basel II. It will therefore have an impact on the pricing of guarantee facilities which banks provide to exporting companies, making it also a crucial regulation for the cost of exportation overall. The study compares those contents of Basel III and Basel II which are particularly relevant for guarantees in order to identify and crystallize pricing-relevant changes in the regulations and their respective impact potential. The Basel frameworks are analyzed part by part and reviewed in terms of relevance for guarantees. In case of ambiguity the analysis is verified by complementary expert interviews. References and examples are mainly focusing on the German banking system but the basic conclusions can be generalized for those countries adopting Basel III.1 As the result, a case study expresses the quantitative outcomes of different scenarios and the impact of the different price determining factors on the overall fair pricing of bank guarantee facilities.
This research is about Omnichannel Retailing and addresses the question how the omnichanneling of retailers in the fashion market can be measured. Our sources will include books, interviews, newspapers and scientific databases.
Omnichanneling is a current topic in the fashion market, retailers all over the world face the question on how to adapt to the challenges Omnichannel Retailing sets. We are going to define what Omnichanneling is by explaining the differences between Multiple-, Multi-, Cross- and Omnichannel Retailing. After we defined omnichanneling itself, we took a set of 26 retailers to evaluate regarding their Omnichannel capabilities. Then we create an index with criteria that can measure the Omnichannel capability of each retailer.
The Omnichannel Score is based on 31 criteria, which analyze the retailers in offline, online, mobile and social aspects enables to see differences between retailers. Our findings were that retailers in the US fashion market are more advanced in Omnichannel Retailing than retailers in the German fashion market. Our top three Omnichannel retailers were Sears with an Omnichannel Score of 91, followed by KOHL’S and Marks&Spencer, both with a Omnichannel Score of 88. The best Omnichannel Retailer from Germany was Adidas with the fourth place and an Omnichannel Score of 81.
In order to decouple economic growth from global material consumption it is necessary to implement material efficiency strategies at the level of single enterprises and their supply chains, and to implement circular economy aspects. Manufacturing firms face multiple implementation challenges like cost limitations, competition, innovation and stakeholder pressure, and supplier and customer relationships, among others
. An extended evaluation of triggers and barriers to improve material efficiency in manufacturing companies, along the supply chain and concerning circular economy considerations is provided. This paper delivers an extended literature review, a critical discussion of the current situation and resulting challenges concerning material efficiency approaches in manufacturing supply chains. Finally, a conclusion and outlook on further research direction is given.
Im Management von Sportvereinen wächst zusehends der Anspruch im Markt als professionelles Wirtschaftsunternehmen zu agieren, wobei auch Marken-Überlegungen zunehmend strategische Bedeutung erhalten. Die hier in Ausschnitten vorgestellten Studie "Marken im deutschen Profisport 2012/2013" untersucht die Selbst- und Fremdwahrnehmung der Vereine der fünf umsatzstärksten Teamsportligen in Deutschland (1. und 2. Fußballbundesliga, Handballbundesliga, Basketballbundesliga, Deutschen Eishockey Liga). Die Studienergebnisse basieren auf Meinungen von insgesamt 4.678 befragten Sportfans, sowie 58 Vereinen. Dabei wird vor allem festgestellt, dass eine teils erhebliche Diskrepanz zwischen dem eigenem Anspruch vieler Clubs und dem tatsächlichen Markenimage vorherrscht. Nur gerade einmal elf Clubs werden von den Fans als "echte Marke" wahrgenommen. Kernpunkt der Studie ist ein von den Autoren entwickeltes Klassifizierungssytem für Sportmarken, das zukünftig als Grundlage für markenrelevante Entscheidungen dienen könnte.
The following paper is dealing with the issue on which actual consumer lifestyle segmentation methods there are for particular European countries and accordingly for Europe as a whole. This is important for corporations to be able to place their products accurately by a consumer orientated marketing concerning the constant change of values and minds. Researching current literature, internet sources and documents, the state of the science is presented by a detailed description of the most popular lifestyle segmentation methods used in European countries. In addition to that, these instruments are discussed individually and then compared to each other. All instruments, the Sinus-Milieus, Euro-Socio-Styles, Roper-Consumer-Styles, RISC and Mosaic, are serving the same purpose even so they differ pretty much from each other. Each market research company has its own method to generate their model just as different segments and definitions for them. Furthermore every segmentation method is illustrated in a different way. This paper demonstrates all these instruments in detail and shows its advantages and disadvantages. Summing up literature research concerning the main research question, there are several models segmenting consumers in different lifestyle groups for e.g. in Germany, France or Great Britain, but still less models referring to the entire European market.
Anlass für die Ausstellung war das 150 jährige Bestehen der Hochschule Reutlingen. Ursprünglich als Webschule gegründet, später Technikum für Textilindustrie und staatliche Ingenieurschule, entwickelte sich daraus bis heute die Fachhochschule mit der Fakultät für Textil und Design. Den Schwerpunkt des historischen Teils der Ausstellung bildet die Gewebesammlung, die in der Webschule als Vorbild für die Studenten wie auch für die württembergische Textilindustrie entstand. Demgegenüber stehen aktuelle Funktionstextilien aus High-Tech-Fasern, die über die traditionelle Nutzung als Material für Bekleidung hinaus vielseitig eingesetzt werden: im Automobil- und Flugzeugbau, in der Medizintechnik, im Arbeitsschutz, an Bauwerken.
In this article we would like to link certain developments of the Cryptocurrency price movement to the five characteristic phases speculative bubbles undergo according to US economists Charles Kindleberger and Hyman Minsky, who developed the respective framework in "Manias, panics and crashes" (1978). Although every speculative bubble is somewhat different, they tend to follow five phases.In addition, we would like to answer the question how speculative bubbles develop and why they suddenly collapse.
Indicators of disruption potentials - analysis of the blockchain technology’s potential impact
(2019)
The goal of this paper was to answer the question whether blockchain has the potential to become a disruption according to Clayton Christensen’s disruption theory. Therefore, the theory and the five characteristics that define the process of disruption were outlined in the first part of the paper. That and the following explanation of the blockchain technology served as the basis for the analysis and evaluation in chapters four to seven. For the analysis, three applications of the DLT, namely payment methods, intermediaries, as well as data storage and transfer, were considered. The fulfillment of the five characteristics of disruption was assessed using an example for each of the three applications.
Additionally, the paper might serve as a basis for future research on the topic, once the technology develops further, since it is generally hard to tell whether the fourth and fifth characteristics are fulfilled by blockchain at this point. Therefore, the results of the paper also back criticism of Christensen’s theory regarding its usefulness for predictions.
This paper suggests that, in the financial services industry, too, the impact of blockchain will be significant. However, given the manifoldness of the services that are part of the industry, it cannot generally be concluded whether the DLT will disrupt the industry. For example, in services related to payment methods, blockchain is unlikely to follow disruptive pattern, despite the recent hype surrounding blockchain-based cryptocurrencies. However, regarding data storage and transfer, the technology might as well follow disruptive pattern in the financial services industry just as the application of blockchain solutions has been doing in the healthcare industry.
Die vorliegende Arbeit thematisiert die Identifizierung und Darstellung von Ansätzen, wie man Menschen zu einem besseren Entscheidungsverhalten bei Finanzprodukten und -dienstleistungen bewegen kann. Hierfür werden sogenannte Nudges bei Krediten, Kreditkarten, Hypotheken, der Altersvorsorge und Aktien/Anleihen erläutert. Die Arbeit beginnt mit einer knappen Einführung in die Entscheidungstheorie. Danach wird die seit Jahrzehnten dominierende neoklassische Kapitalmarktheorie kurz erläutert und der Bogen zur jungen Disziplin der Behavioral Finance gespannt. Im Anschluss daran werden Verzerrungen und Heuristiken entlang des Entscheidungsprozesses aufgezeigt und erklärt. Das nächste Kapitel, „Libertärer Paternalismus“, bildet den theoretischen Rahmen für Nudging. Im letzten Kapitel werden Nudgingansätze bei Krediten, Kreditkarten, Hypotheken, der Altersvorsorge und Aktien/Anleihen dargestellt.
