International terrorist attacks have led to growing concerns of governments, companies and societies and there is barely any other topic which is exploited by the mass media that extensively. Due to security reasons holiday plans are increasingly questioned by private consumers who are scared by the politically motivated violence, which seems to appear everywhere. The following bachelor thesis investigates the impacts of terrorist attacks on the international tourism sector, especially which consequences changing tourist demand has on dependent companies. Furthermore, there is taken a closer look to the crisis management of travel agencies when responding to attacks in certain destinations. Thereby, adjustments of the marketing mix can play an important role for long-term success and competitiveness. Despite the fact that analysing effects of terrorism on economic markets is a well discussed topic, little research is devoted to the implications for the tourism sector and international travel agencies in particular. For this reason, this thesis is based on examining published data and conducted surveys to develop a set of recommendations for travel agencies in case of terrorism in tourist destinations. Nevertheless, further research is recommended to gain a deeper understanding about the effects of security concerns and derived marketing actions on consumer patterns.
Die Frage ob das Elektroauto mittelfristig den Verbrenner in Deutschland ablösen wird beschäftigt momentan Politik und Medien. Aktuell stellen Elektroautos trotz staatlicher Förderung noch ein Nischenprodukt am deutschen Pkw-Markt dar. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht innerhalb einer ausführlichen Marktanalyse von Sekundärdaten ob und gegebenenfalls wann Elektroautos in Deutschland den Massenmarkt ansprechen werden. Hierzu wird der deutsche Pkw-Markt mithilfe von Modellen der Diffusionsforschung untersucht. Ziel der Diffusionsforschung ist es, die Verbreitung einer Innovation am Markt im Zeitverlauf zu beschreiben und zu erklären. Es wird dabei herausgearbeitet: welche Käufer Elektroautos momentan ansprechen, welche Faktoren erfüllt sein müssen, dass sich Elektroautos am Massenmarkt in Deutschland durchsetzen können und welche Faktoren den Verlauf der Verbreitung von Elektroautos in Deutsch¬land in Zukunft beeinflussen werden. Aus Basis der gewonnen Erkenntnisse wird schließlich eine Prognose zur zukünftigen Verbreitung von Elektroautos in Deutschland erstellt.

People are surrounded by many offers every day, a discount, a gift or a special sale. A walk through a store can lead us to purchases which are not necessary but in our minds are worth it. Pricing may be one of the easiest ways to influence consumers and to make products more attractive.
This study compares the pricing practices “use of word free/free offers” for example buy one get one free and “discount.” Those two practices have different influences on the consumer behaviour and the product perception. A discount tends to be less worth it than a free offer if an average customer would be asked. A survey of over 200 people was made to witness this statement.
This number of people were divided into two groups which were asked different questions via an A/B testing survey. Group A was asked about a free product, and group B was asked about a discount. Additionally, this study includes a field validation in the form of observation. Customers of a transregional drugstore were observed when buying a product. This drugstore where the validation was made offers a bi-weekly brochure with promoted products. Among them are discounts and free offers. The number of sales was compared and analysed to confirm the results of the survey.
Organized, competitive computer gaming, also referred to as eSports, are emerging sports within the sports entertainment industry. The industry generated almost 700 million U.S. Dollar in revenue and leading eSport titles attract millions of viewers to their events. This study aims to explore eSport live broadcasts of four leading titles and their appeal to be used as a communication media for marketers. It adopted secondary data from academic and scientific studies, journals and books from the fields of eSports, business and sports management to examine commercials, product placements, sponsorships and celebrity endorsements in regards of their applicability and effectiveness within eSports. Quantitative research in form of a survey among eSports viewership was carried out to gather data on viewership consumption patterns and perceptions towards said communication instruments and their effectiveness.
Findings suggest that the effectiveness of commercials rely on the timing shown during broadcasts. Product placements can be applied in many ways and show high effectiveness in terms of brand recognition in any form. Celebrity endorsements are highly ambiguous in terms of their applicability and effectiveness.
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.
