Through the worldwide changing world where the availability and accessibility of data becomes more and more important, companies have to take advantage of these new trends and embrace the change. The thesis aims to explore the evolution of the human resources department in organizations especially focusing on people analytics.
The objective of the presented study is to analyze the development of the human resources organization towards a more data-driven function. In addition to that, a practical study in cooperation with the corporate people analytics team at Nestlé was conducted. As the HR function of Nestlé goes through its global transformation between 2018 and 2020, one result is the changing role of the HR business partner. In the future, they will have to apply analytical skills such as sourcing data and analyzing data, and generating people and organization insights to enable high quality decision making. In order develop and train the HR business partner in these additional competencies, a training program on people analytics has been elaborated through this study. The research concludes with strategic recommendations how to incorporate the training within Nestlé.
Johannes Mohr, the owner of the start up company KARMA foods, has made it his life's mission to do something good for humanity. His idea is to make the world a better place by selling organically and sustainably produced products from Sri Lanka. Therefore, the company is also one of the so-called social entrepreneurs. Social Entrepreneurs are companies for which social thinking has the highest priority while doing business. KARMA foods thus supports social projects in Sri Lanka as well as animal welfare in Germany with every product sold. This is done by injecting a certain amount of money per product sold into the projects.
The social trend has changed significantly in recent years. As a result, businesses today are forced to adapt to the increasing health and environmental concerns in order to come up to the consumers' needs in the future. This growing health trend, especially with regard to healthy nutrition, also brought many superfood products to the market. Also the products of KARMA foods. The product range includes four products, the Moringa leaf powder, the Moringa capsules, the virgin coconut oil and the organic monkey mousse.
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to show the company different online marketing models, which are suitable for the marketing of superfood products. These are especially important in making KARMA foods better known to its target audience and gaining reach. On the other hand, they are more cost-saving than conventional marketing models. This is especially important for start ups with low budgets.
Another part of the work is to create a business plan for KARMA foods in order to give the company a structure and a guideline for orientation. This structure is a great help not only for the company itself, as all important business processes have been written down, but also a helpful document when borrowing money. Because potential lenders want to know who they are dealing with and whether they can trust the company or not. The work thus provides the company with important tips on how to make the KARMA foods brand and its products more widely known to consumers, as well as providing guidance on where the company currently stands and what it can achieve in the future.
Understanding consumer behavior is a crucial task for businesses as it is fundamental to analyze and implement successful marketing strategies. The following Bachelor thesis investigates the consumer behavior of Millennials, a consumer group that, due to its size and unique consumer patterns, has become ever more interesting for businesses in recent years. Firstly, this work gives an overview of the necessary steps to analyze consumer characteristics to understand the main concept of consumer behavior as analyzing consumer characteristics forms the basis of developing and finally implementing appropriate marketing strategies. Secondly, as modern technologies play an important role in consumer behavior, this Bachelor thesis analyzes the influence of advanced technological marketing tools on consumer behavior in greater depth. Thirdly, this paper takes a closer look at the millennial generation, thereby focusing on its distinct consumer behavior and its importance for businesses and societies – across time as customers as well as employees. To understand the significance of the millennial customer segment, it is not only important to contrast the consumer behavior of Millennials to those of other generations but to also get familiar with the Millennials’ main characteristics that define their consumption patterns such as their focus on status and sustainable consumption. Finally, this Bachelor thesis outlines potential opportunities and challenges for marketers today and in the years to come and provides suited recommendations on how to effectively target the millennial customer segment to best meet the expectations of Millennials.
This thesis analyzes reverse logistics exemplified by Kärcher, a manufacturer of cleaning devices, and elaborates a conceptual framework for developing a business model for reverse logistics. A literature review is undertaken for theoretical infor-mation; expert interviews and a quantitative study are carried out. The aim of the lit-erature research is to investigate the importance of reverse logistics and its future viability. Reverse logistics can be divided into two parts, the entry channel and the value-adding part, whereas this thesis focuses on the value adding part. Previous studies mention that reverse logistics is ignored and underestimated by companies; nevertheless it is important for a functioning returns process as return quantities are increasing in the future inter alia because of online retailing. Furthermore, the re-verse logistics process of Kärcher is compared to the industry-wide standards. For understanding the process at Kärcher, exploratory interviews with several SDCs and a census are conducted. To compare the Kärcher reverse logistics process with the industry, a benchmark is performed. The benchmark is carried out with competitors based on short expert interviews and two international companies are analyzed from the literature. The outcome of the benchmark is that until now, there are no industry-wide standards to be found and therefore Kärcher cannot adhere to standards. Last-ly the business model concept Canvas is investigated in theory and applied to the reverse logistics process at Kärcher with the objective to explore, to what extent Canvas can be implemented. In addition, the Canvas is used to define a conceptual framework for further elaboration with the aim to possibly regain value from returns in the future. Finally a recommended course of action for Kärcher concerning reverse logistics is derived.
Erismann und die deutsche Tapetenindustrie sind mit sinkenden Absätzen konfrontiert. Laut einer aktuellen Studie haben die Deutschen ein negatives Bild von Tapeten und sind unzureichend über die Vorteile von Vliestapeten informiert.
Diese Arbeit entwirft einen strategischen Ansatz, um deutsche Endverbraucher über die Vorteile von Vliestapeten zu informieren. Die Möglichkeiten des Reichweitenausbaus Erismanns im Web und Sozialen Netzwerken werden erforscht, ein Ansatz zur Aufklärung der Endverbraucher wird erarbeitet und Vermarktungsempfehlungen ausgesprochen.
Basis der Arbeit ist eine Marktanalyse mit Modellen wie Porter’s 5 Forces und PEEST. Der Konsument, seine Kaufmotive, sein Customer Journey und Kaufverhalten werden untersucht. Eine Segmentierungsstrategie mit dem Ziel, Buyer Personas zu erstellen, wird entworfen. Das erleichtert die folgende Differenzierung und Positionierung. SEO Maßnahmen werden ausgewertet. Die Content-Marketing Strategie verfolgt das Ziel der Erstellung von Themenbereichen und Anwendung von Storytelling auf der Webseite und in Sozialen Netzwerken wie Facebook und Instagram.
Es zeigt sich, dass eine Reichweitenerhöhung mit SEO (Suchmaschinenoptimierung) Maßnahmen, Blogging, organischem Linkbuilding besonders über Influencer und der Erstellung zielgruppenrelevanter Inhalte durch Content-Marketing erreicht werden kann. Content-Marketing ist geeignet, um Konsumenten zu erreichen und über Produktvorteile aufzuklären.
Die Aufklärung über die Vorteile von Vliestapeten geht zwingend mit der Verbesserung des Images von Tapeten einher. Aufgrund der steigenden Bedeutung von SEO und Social Media Marketing muss Erismann Erfahrungen in diesen Bereichen sammeln und seine Online Präsenz ausbauen.
The present work illustrates the challenges non-profit organizations are facing, especially in regard to marketing measures. Rapid technical advancements and the continuous development of digital assets opens new creative possibilities, which organizations must recognize in order to operate successfully.
Future philanthropists’ charitable contributions are shaped by generational characteristics. The new generation forces organizations to implement new strategies and to revise its approach in order to address given needs and to satisfy all participants. Social platforms, permanent internet access and specifically mobile phones influence promotional activities which emphasizes the great importance of a digital marketing concept. Furthermore, charity organizations need to adapt new ways of engaging with their donor base in order to build a sustainable and lasting relationship.
This paper aims to reveal generational impacts on charitable contributions. It focuses mainly on marketing measures and the upcoming challenges and specifically aims to examine existing evidence for the effectiveness of Video Marketing. Hence, the key question to be answered is if video illustrates the new sales tool to approach future philanthropists. Therefore, an interview with the expert Dennis van Dijk, the COO of MSSG B.V., is being conducted to support the possible result.
Public- Private Partnership sind aus der Welt der Zusammenarbeit zwischen der öffentlichen Hand und den privaten Partnern nicht mehr wegzudenken. Diese Art der Zusammenarbeit ist durch ihre verschiedenen Auslegungen sehr weit gegliedert. Die Arbeit gibt einen Überblick über PPP und ihre Risiken und Chancen und legt allgemeine Ziele für gelungene Projekt fest. Für die Überprüfung dieser Ziele wird das Projekt der „Konstruktion der Linie 2 und Zweiglinie Av- Faucett – Gambeta des Basisnetzwerks der Metro Linien in Lima und Callao“(vom spanischen: „Construcción de la Línea 2 y Ramal Av. Faucett – Gambeta de la Red Básica del Metro de Lima y Callao”) verwendet. Das Projekt wird mit den verwendeten Projektmanagementfaktoren aus dem theoretischen Teil (z. Bsp.: Risiken und Chancen, Ziele, Kriterien) vorgestellt. Abschließend erfolgt eine Analyse des theoretischen und praktischen Teils, um eine Aussage darüber zu treffen, ob PPP eine gute Finanzierungs- und Durchführungsmethode für die öffentliche Aufgabe darstellen. Diese Analyse wird durch die Anwendung des magischen Dreiecks des Projektmanagements (Leistung, Termin und Kosten) vertieft. Die Durchführung als PPP wird verglichen mit der theoretischen Durchführung als rein öffentliches Projekt. Um eine abschließende genaue Aussage treffen zu können, muss das Projekt über die Bau- und Betriebsphase weiterhin in regelmäßigen Abständen evaluiert werden. Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ist anzunehmen, dass ein öffentliches Projekt kostengünstiger, aber nicht leistungs- und termingerecht erfüllt werden kann.
