This paper explores the marketing strategies used within Stockholm's performing arts sector, with a focus on attracting and retaining audiences aged 16-29 through the utilization of social media marketing. The study employs a mixed-method approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The quantitative aspect involves a survey conducted among youths aged 16-29, aimed at understanding their interests, preferences, and behaviors regarding performing arts consumption and social media engagement. Meanwhile, the qualitative component consists of interviews with key stakeholders from the largest performing arts venues in Stockholm, providing insights into current marketing practices, challenges, and potential strategies for audience engagement. The findings contribute with development strategies in the performing arts sector, particularly in the context of the growing digital environment and adapting to changing consumer preferences. The findings indicate that the barriers derived from other literature match what is experienced by the participants surveyed, and the perceived impact does match what the interviews tell us. By combining key themes and findings of the paper, advice is given to offer recommendations for performing arts organizations in Stockholm to enhance their marketing efforts and create a stronger connection with the younger demographic.

Thesis (MComm)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Global rail reform is an important topic, especially seen against a backdrop of a worldwide requirement to facilitate modal shift back to rail. This modal shift is required because of growing environmental issues and rising freight cost concerns. Appropriate rail reform is also required to create an environment for South Africa’s freight railway to sustainably achieve modal shift to reverse this trend. This research is based on an idealised design approach that postulates an ideal virtual railway for South Africa, based on Transport Economic and market segmentation principles. It is accepted that major investment will be required to realise this ideal railway, but the exact role, positioning, institutional and organisational structures of the railway system require clarification. The established approach to provide this clarification in a typical business is, first and foremost, to understand the market that needs to be served through appropriate market segmentation. In this regard, the research presents: • an overview of South Africa’s surface freight transport industry, including the specific challenges faced by the industry and the historical evolution of the industry; • a benchmarking exercise of South Africa’s rail system against global rail systems; • a summary of global rail reform case references; • the need for transport economic regulation; • an analysis of current total surface freight flows (road and rail) across the geography of the country’s transport corridors, culminating in a freight flow market segmentation for South Africa informed by rail’s economic fundamentals; • the resultant effect of this analysis on the framing of an idealised network design; and • a rail reform proposal based on the idealised design. The research ‘imagines’ that the country has no existing railway system and analyse the manner in which specific freight (commodities and cargo types) actually flows from origin to destination by all modes of transport within the country’s freight logistics industry. The result of the freight market segmentation exercise informs the crafting of an ideal network. Using this ideal network as a starting point, the most appropriate rail reform option is considered against the background of benchmarking the current system. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die wêreldwye beweging vir ‘n modale verskuiwing terug na spoor is ‘n belangrike faktor wanneer spoorhervorming ter sake kom. Dit word as gevolg van die toenemende klem wat op omgewingskwessies gelê word en stygende vervoerkostes, vereis. Toepaslike spoorhervorming is ook in Suid-Afrika belangrik sodat‘n omgewing waarin Suid – Afrika se vragvervoer volhoubaar modale verskuiwing kan bereik, geskep kan word om sodoende ‘n modale verskuiwing te bewerkstellig. Die navorsing in hierdie tesis word op ‘n geïdealiseerde ontwerp benadering gegrond wat die ideale spoorweg vir Suid – Afrika postuleer. Vervoerekonomiese en marksegmenteringsbeginsels vorm die grondslag van die ontwerp. Beduidende investering sal benodig word om hierdie ideale spoorweg te laat realiseer, maar die presiese rol, posisionering, en institusionele en organisatoriese strukture van die spoorwegsisteem is nog onduidelik. Die gevestigde navorsingsgefundeerde benadering om hierdie vraagstuk te benader is om eerstens markvraag deur middel van marksegmentering, te bepaal. In hierdie opsig bied die navorsing: • ‘n oorsig van Suid–Afrika se landvragvervoerbedryf, insluitend die spesifieke uitdagings en historiese evolusie van die bedryf; • ‘n nomrstellingsoefening van Suid–Afrika se spoorsisteem teen globale spoorsisteme; • ‘n opsomming van globale spoorhervorminggevallestudies; • die behoefte aan vervoerekonomiese regulering; • ‘n analise van die huidige landvragvloeivolumes (pad en spoor) regoor die land se vervoerkorridors wat in ‘n vragvloeimarksegmentering vir Suid–Afrika uitloop, • die gevolglike effek van die analise op die ontwerp van ‘n geïdealiseerde network; en • ‘n spoorhervormingvoorstel gegrond op die geïdealiseerde ontwerp. Hierdie navorsing gebruik ‘n virtuele benadering naamlik dat die land geen bestaande spoorwegsisteem het nie en analiseer die vraag na vervoer op die fynste moontlike vlak. Die resultaat van die vragsegmenteringoefening word gebruik om die ideale netwerk te bou. Deur die gebruik van die ideale netwerk as ‘n uitgangspunt word die mees geskikte spoorhervormingopsie oorweeg met normstelling van die huidige sisteem as ‘n vergelykende agtergrond.

Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The economic downturn in South Africa since mid 2008 has transformed the motor vehicle industry into a seriously competitive marketplace. Both large and small dealerships are finding their volumes and margins under increasing pressure. Sandown Motor Holdings (Pty) Ltd has a new vision to become the finest motor group in the world. An openness to ideas and to the external environment in the learning organisation means that it can excel by exceeding customer expectations and benchmarking against the best in the class (Clarke & Clegg, 2000:5). In this light, Sandown Motor Holdings needs to adopt certain strategies, policies and practices that allows for the implementation of new ideas and quick reactions to changes in the external environment. They need to know what customer expectations are and then exceed them to enable Sandown Motors to make this vision a reality. This research report analyses the external and internal environment of Sandown Motor Holdings (Pty) Ltd in the Western Cape in an attempt to gain insight into the realities facing the company. The report becomes more focused on Mercedes-Benz Claremont as a dealership and its pre-owned vehicle sales department as the key department which serves as an outlet for trade-in pressures, but also as a profit centre which needs to be developed. Much work is done around market segmentation, product profiling and trading policies that would positively influence both pre-owned and new vehicle sales. The pre-owned strategy that emerges also highlights the necessity for an e-commerce strategy to serve as another platform from which to trade even more pre-owned vehicles. This strategy specifically aims to establish an online auction system open to traders only. The report concludes by taking a look at the new vehicle sales department. The approach taken is customer centric and relies heavily on the customer experience as a source of competitive advantage over competitors. Processes and performance indicators are reviewed and an action plan is compiled and put in place. A detailed twelve-month marketing plan is also developed and is included as an appendix. The author believes these strategies are crucial for short-term profitability, long-term survival and the satisfaction of all stakeholders. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die ekonomiese afplatting in Suid-Afrika sedert die middel van 2008 het die motor-industrie in ‘n streng kompeterende arena omskep. Beide groot- en kleinhandelaars ondervind toenemende druk op hulle volumes en winsmarges. Sandown Motor Holdings (Pty) Ltd het ‘n nuwe visie om die beste motorgroep ter wêreld te word. ‘n Openheid teenoor idees oor die eksterne omgewing in die leergierige organisasie, beteken dat dit kan presteer deur kliënteverwagtinge te oortref en hulself te kan meet teen die beste in die klas (Clarke & Clegg, 2000:5). In die lig hiervan moet Sandown Motor Holdings sekere strategieë, beleidsrigtings en praktyke aanvaar wat die implementering van nuwe idees en vinnige reaksie op veranderinge in die eksterne omgewing moontlik maak. Hulle moet weet wat die kliënte se verwagtinge is en dit dan oortref ten einde Sandown Motors se visie ‘n realiteit te maak. Hierdie navorsingsverslag analiseer die eksterne en interne omgewing van Sandown Motor Holdings (Pty) Ltd in die Wes-Kaap in ‘n poging om insig te verkry in die realiteite wat die maatskappy in die gesig staar. Die verslag fokus op Mercedes-Benz Claremont as ‘n alleenstaande handelaarskap en sy Gebruikte-Voertuie Verkoopsafdeling as die sleuteldepartement wat dien as ‘n uitlaat vir inruil druk, maar ook as ‘n winssentrum wat verder ontwikkel moet word. Baie werk is gedoen rondom marksegmentasie, produkprofiele en handelsbeleid wat positiewe impak op beide nuwe en gebruikte verkope sal hê. Die gebruikte-voertuig strategie wat hieruit spruit beklemtoon verder die behoefte aan ‘n webgebaseerde strategie wat as ‘n verdere afsetpunt kan dien vir nog meer gebruikte-voertuie verkope. Hierdie strategie is spesifiek gemik op die daarstel van ‘n op-tyd aanlyn veilingstelsel, uitsluitlik vir die gebruik van motorhandelaars. Die verslag sluit af deur te kyk na die Nuwe-Voertuig Verkoopsafdeling. Die benadering wat gevolg word is kliëntgesentreerd en berus op die kliënt se ervaring as ‘n bron van kompeterende voordeel bo die kompetisie. Prosesse en indikators om prestasie te meet word hersien en die nodige aksieplan word opgestel en toegepas. ‘n Gedetaileerde twaalf-maande bemarkingsplan is ook ontwikkel en word ingesluit in die aanhangsels. Die skrywer glo hierdie strategieë is krities vir korttermyn winsgewendheid, langtermyn oorlewing en die bevrediging van alle belanghebbendes.

The area of ethnic market segmentation has received little attention from practitioners or academicians of marketing since most minority groups immigrating to the United States have gradually assimilated the cultural norms and values, and thus the market behavior, of the American society as a whole. Preliminary investigation, however, indicates that Mexican Americans are an exception. To discover whether Mexican Americans represent a true ethnic market segment of economic significance, this study examines and analyzes several aspects. First, to determine whether Mexican Americans represent a true ethnic segment, the following aspects of their cultural norms, perceptions, and values are investigated: their distinct and unique identity, the continuity and consistency of their adoption and use, and the degree of their influence. Second, to determine whether Mexican Americans constitute an ethnic market segment, grocery shopping behavioral patterns are examined. Third, to ascertain whether Mexican Americans represent a substantial ethnic market segment in terms of the number of consumers and the amount of money spent, relevant demographic and socioeconomic characteristics are presented and analyzed. Fourth, the impact of an economically significant ethnic market segment on marketers and marketing institutions is assessed. Due to the nature of this study, emphasis is placed on the collection of primary data, which has been obtained through personal interviews with 115 consumer respondents and eighteen grocery store owners and managers. Secondary data, gathered from reports of the Bureau of the Census, various periodicals, journals, and books, are used to establish cultural, demographic, and socioeconomic trends.

A proposição apresentada de uma estrutura de procedimentos para a segmentação de mercados empresariais, após extensa pesquisa bibliográfica, resultou em quatro grandes etapas e quatorze passos. Acredita-se que seja lógica, útil e de aplicação abrangente em vários setores industriais e de consumo. A base fundamental de segmentação estudada foi aquela que diz respeito aos benefícios procurados pelos consumidores durante o processo de decisão de compra e o setor escolhido foi a indústria do alumínio. Essa indústria apresenta algumas importantes particularidades que tornam o estudo ainda mais desafiador: é um oligopólio, o produto é classificado como uma commodity (padronizado) na sua essência e o seu preço base é definido pela LME aproximando-se do que seria uma estrutura de mercado de concorrência perfeita (as empresas são tomadoras de preço). Dessa forma, a segmentação estratégica de mercado passa a ser a grande possibilidade para deslocar essa estrutura no sentido da concorrência imperfeita, em que as empresas passam a deter algum poder sobre os preços praticados. A pesquisa exploratória identificou que o setor de alumínio desenvolve uma segmentação ainda incipiente que simplesmente fornece informações pós-facto para comparações no setor com pouca ou nenhuma contribuição efetiva para a conquista de vantagem competitiva ou um melhor atendimento aos clientes e diferenciação das ofertas. Com base nos dados gerados a partir de uma pesquisa empírica, foram identificados sete benefícios procurados utilizando-se a técnica da análise fatorial: efetividade da entrega, capacitação técnica e de vendas, lealdade e relacionamento com o fornecedor, imagem do fornecedor, vendas diretas a preços competitivos, eficiência do produto e logística do produto e da sucata. Foram, também, identificados três segmentos ou conglomerados associados a esses benefícios. A segmentação de segunda ordem com base em variáveis de relacionamento e demográficas, não se mostrou adequada para caracterização dos segmentos, como preconizado por alguns autores. / This current thesis presents a proposition of a step-by-step structure to the segmentation of business to business markets. This has been developed from extensive bibliographic research and encompasses four majour groups containing a total of fourteen steps. Its characteristics make it a logic and useful structure that can be applied in a variety of industries and end-user consumer markets. The fundamental aspect of segmentation studied that led to the development of such structure was that related to the sought benefits by the consumers during the purchasing decision-making process and the studied industry was that of the aluminum. This industry presents some important specificities that posed new challenges to the present study: it is characterized as an oligopoly and its product is characterized as a commodity in its essence with its price being set by the LME, being very close to a market structure of perfect competition (the organizations are price takers). In this sense, the strategic market segmentation becomes the main alternative to shift this structure to an imperfect competition in which organizations can bear some kind of power over the prices of their products. The exploratory research carried out in this study has identified that the aluminum industry practices some incipient kind on market segmentation that simply provides pós-facto information for comparisons within the industry with very little, if none, contribution to the obtaining of competitive advantage or a better service to clients and differentiation of the product offer. Based on the data gathered through an empiric research, seven sought benefits were identified through factorial analysis: delivery effectiveness, technical and sales qualification, loyalty and relationship with the suppliers, image of the supplier, direct sales by competitive prices, product efficiency and logistics of the product and scrap. Three segments or conglomerates were also identified as being associated to these benefits. Finally, the second order segmentation based on relationship and demographic variables did not present itself as adequate for the characterization of market segments within this industry, as proposed by some authors.

Este estudo pretendeu verificar se a combinação das variáveis atitude e atributos ecologicamente corretos de bens de consumo pode ser utilizada como base para a segmentação de mercado. Para satisfazer a essa proposição, buscou-se, primeiramente, o domínio da teoria disponível sobre os temas a ela relacionados, que serviu de base à pesquisa de campo. Esta teve um caráter quantitativo e foi do tipo descritivo, com método do estudo de campo; utilizou uma amostra não-probabilística por conveniência de estudantes e professores de uma universidade da cidade de São Paulo-SP, que expressaram suas opiniões por autopreenchimento de um instrumento de coleta de dados estruturado e disfarçado. A análise dos dados deu-se através da aplicação de três técnicas multivariadas: Análise Fatorial, Análise de Conglomerados e Análise de Correspondência. A primeira foi bem sucedida em seu propósito principal, já que foi possível reduzir o conjunto de variáveis a dois fatores; os escores fatoriais funcionaram como entradas à Análise de Conglomerados. Esta também foi bem sucedida, pois a grande maioria das simulações realizadas combinando as medidas de similaridade com os métodos de aglomeração gerou conglomerados, o que permitiu responder favoravelmente ao problema de pesquisa; uma das combinações - Quadrado da Distância Euclideana com within groups foi considerada a mais satisfatória e utilizada como base para a próxima técnica, Análise de Correspondência. Esta foi utilizada para perfilar os conglomerados gerados e dar relevância gerencial ao presente projeto; foi parcialmente bem sucedida, pois não pôde ser utilizada para algumas variáveis, dando vez à tabulação cruzada. As considerações finais confirmaram a expectativa do pesquisador quanto à possibilidade de obtenção de conglomerados utilizando concomitantemente as variáveis atitude e atributos ecologicamente corretos de produtos. / This study intended to verify if the variable attitude in conjunction with the consumer good´s ecologically characteristics may be used as market segmentation´s basis. To satisfy this proposition, we tried, at first, to know all the available theory about the topics that are related to and also the basis to the field research. It was a quantitative and descriptive one, with a field study method. A non-probabilistic sample of students and teachers was used to explain their opinions by self-administration of a strucured and disguised questionnaire. The data analysis ocurred by the application of three multivariate techniques: Factor Analysis, Cluster Analysis and Correspondence Analysis. The first of them was successfull, whereas it was possible to reduce the set of variables to two factors; the fatorial scores performed as inputs to the Cluster Analysis. This technique was successful too, because the majority of simulations combining similarity measures and aglomeration methods engendered clusters, which permitted an answer favorable to the research problem; one of the combinations Euclidean Square Distance and Withinn Groups was considered the most satisfactory and used as basis to the next technique, the Correspondence Analysis. It was applied to profile the clusters and give a relevance to this paper; it was partly successful, as we couldnt use some variables and it was replaced by Cross Tabulation. The final considerations confirmed the researchers expectation as regard to the possibility of obtain clusters using at the same time the variable attitude and good´s ecologically characteristics.

O canal online de vendas de varejo por meio da Internet tem mostrado impressionante crescimento em termos de uso por parte dos consumidores desde o início dos anos 2000 até 2011, com boas perspectivas de trajetória ascendente para os próximos anos. Essa evolução realça a importância de se realizar planejamento estratégico de negócios que leve em conta o advento da era digital. A segmentação de mercado, tema central deste estudo, é o primeiro requisito para a formulação das estratégias de marketing das empresas, segundo Lambin (2000). Wedel e Kamakura (2000) e Kotler e Keller (2006) são as principais referências para os conceitos de segmentação utilizados neste estudo. Com uma amostra por conveniência formada por 743 consumidores do Brasil, procurou-se investigar, em uma primeira etapa, de caráter exploratório, aspectos ou fatores relacionados ao comportamento de aquisição de produtos no contexto do varejo online. Foi encontrada, principalmente, uma significante relação positiva entre o tempo desde a primeira compra online e maiores frequências de compra anuais pela Internet, o que sugere a importância da familiaridade e confiança para uso mais frequente do canal. A segunda e a terceira etapas foram baseadas principalmente em um modelo proposto por Overby e Lee (2006), que sugere a existência de relações de dependência entre \"intenção de compra\" versus \"valores associados à utilização do canal online\" e \"preferência por determinado site\". Na segunda etapa, de caráter correlacional, foi verificado que os dados coletados se ajustaram adequadamente ao modelo em questão por meio do uso de modelagem de equações estruturais. O objetivo da terceira etapa era verificar a existência de diferenças nas relações de dependência entre os fatores quando são considerados diferentes grupos de consumidores. Conforme recomendações de Hahn et al. (2002), isto foi feito por meio do uso das técnicas de mistura finita em PLS (FIMIX-PLS) e posteriormente por análise de multigrupos em PLS (PLS-MGA) (Henseler et al., 2009). Foram encontradas diferenças significantes para a importância de fatores ao se considerarem os seguintes segmentos: \"feminino\" (as mulheres deram mais importância para o \"valor utilitário\" do que o observado para a amostra total), \"pessoas que dão pouca importância à familiaridade com a loja online\" e \"pessoas que compram online 1 ou 2 vezes ao ano\" (essas pessoas deram mais importância ao \"valor hedônico\" que o observado para a amostra total) e \"compradores de livros\" (que deram menos importância para a preferência que o observado para a amostra total). A análise das diferenças nas relações entre os fatores contribuiu para a atribuição de avaliações de \"grau de resposta\" para cada segmento em relação aos fatores estudados. O grau de resposta é um dos critérios mais críticos para uma segmentação de mercado eficaz e consequentemente pode gerar subsídios importantes para o planejamento estratégico de marketing no contexto do varejo online. / The online retail channel has shown impressive growth in terms of its use by consumers since the beginning of years 2000 up to 2011, with good perspectives of growth for the next years. This growth enhances the business-oriented importance of carrying through strategic planning that takes into account the advent of the digital age. Market segmentation, a central theme of this study, is the first requisite for the formulation of marketing strategies by companies according to Lambin (2000). Wedel and Kamakura (2000) and Kotler and Keller (2006) are the main references for the concepts of segmentation mentioned in this study. With a convenience sample formed by 743 Brazilian consumers, the purpose was to investigate, with an exploratory character at a first stage, aspects or factors related to consumer behavior when purchasing products in the context of online retailing. The main finding of this stage was a significant positive relation between \"the time since the first online purchase\"(time since adoption of the channel) and greater annual frequencies of purchase on the Internet. This suggests the importance of familiarity and confidence for generating more frequent use of the online retail channel by consumers. Second and third stages of this study were mainly based on a model proposed by Overby and Lee (2006) which suggests the existence of dependence relationships between \"purchase intention\" versus \"values associated to the use of online channel\" and \"preference for determined online site\". The second stage had correlacional character, and it was verified that the collected data were adjusted adequately to the model in question by means of using structural equation modeling. The objective of the third stage was to verify the existence of differences in dependence relationships among the studied factors when different groups of consumers were considered. Finite mixtures in PLS (FIMIX-PLS procedures) and multi-group analysis in PLS (MGA-PLS) were made following recommendations of Hahn et al. (2002) and Henseler et al. (2009) respectively. Significant differences for the importance of factors for different segments were found: \"feminine\" (women gave more importance to the \"utilitarian value\" when compared the total sample), \"people who give little importance to the familiarity with the online store\" and \"people who buy online 1 or 2 times per year\" (these groups gave more importance to hedonic value when compared to total sample) and finally \"book purchasers\" (who gave less importance to preference when compared to total sample\"). Analysis of the differences in the relationships among the studied factors contributed for evaluating the \"responsiveness\" criterion for each segment. Responsiveness is one of the most critical criteria for effectiveness of any market segmentation and consequently this contribution can generate important subsidies for strategic marketing planning in the context of online retailing.

Over time, the camouflaged sex lust is nowadays the corporate model. Several companies have developed their entertainment-based businesses. For this, they use strategies to increase marketing and market segmentation, an increase higher than that of traditional companies. Even cities such as Las Vegas and Dubai realized the great economic potential that is in operation in this segment and organized its structures to become real cities in the entertainment. In Goiânia there are some companies who have developed their entertainment-oriented business to add strategic value, attract customers and make use of their services a memorable experience. The research of this field of study is a show house in Goiania, offering adult entertainment to a public looking for exclusivity and discretion. The aim is to investigate whether there is a relationship between the strategies of the business world and the exploitation of prostitution as luxury business. It is assumed that there is targeting the luxury sex and market competitive positioning against the competition as long as grounded in the entertainment economies but also the experience, making the practice of prostitution as a luxury product, to assume a character more acceptable among society. / A prostituição existe desde os primórdios da humanidade. No decorrer do tempo, o sexo camuflado pela luxúria encontra nos dias atuais o modelo corporativo. Várias empresas têm desenvolvido seus negócios baseados no entretenimento. Para isso, elas utilizam de estratégias para o incremento mercadológico e segmentação de mercado, apresentando crescimento superior ao de empresas tradicionais. Até mesmo cidades, como Las Vegas e Dubai perceberam o grande potencial econômico que há na exploração desse segmento e organizaram suas estruturas para se tornarem em verdadeiras cidades do entretenimento. Em Goiânia existem algumas empresas que desenvolveram seus negócios orientados ao entretenimento para agregar valor estratégico, atrair clientes e tornar o consumo de seus serviços uma experiência memorável. O campo de estudo dessa pesquisa é uma casa de espetáculo em Goiânia, que oferece entretenimento adulto a um público que procura exclusividade e discrição. Busca-se investigar se existe relação entre as estratégias do mundo empresarial e a exploração da prostituição como negócio de luxo. Supõese que exista segmentação do sexo de luxo e o posicionamento competitivo de mercado diante da concorrência, desde que fundamentada nas economias do entretenimento, mas também na experiência, fazendo com que a prática da prostituição, como produto de luxo, assuma um caráter mais aceitável entre a sociedade.
