Abstract The competition for liquor companies in Taiwan is getting fierce due to limited market size and tardy economic growth. The situation is more obvious after Taiwan joined WTO and many famous foreign liquor brands entered this market. The impact is especially strong for Chinese Spirits because many liquor consumers take a shot at these new entrants or even change their habits. Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor Inc. now faces domestic competitors such as Yusan Kaoliang of Taiwan Tabacco and Liquor Coporation and other brands as well as the growing portion of consumers shifting to bear or wine. In order to operate in China and seek further revenue growth, Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor Inc. established a child company in Xiamen in 2004. However, it is shown that there¡¦s much room for further effort if the company wants to perform well in China. This research adopts exploratory research method and collects relevant data from various sources. Through sorting, estimating, evaluating, and reasoning of the data, this research provides workable strategies for Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor Inc. for further development.

Doctor Educationis / Independent Radio and Appliance retailers face very strong competition from chain groups, discounters and hypermarkets. These organisations rely on bulk-buying and negotiated deals to elicit favourable terms from suppl iers. Due to the volume of their turnover they can afford to work on lower profi t margins than the independent operator. Large marketing organisations also benefit from economi es of seal e in adverti si ng and promoti ons. In short the 1arge groups have a di fferenti al advantage over the small er i ndependents i n that thei r cost of sales and overhead structure is generally lower. The purpose of this study is to develop a marketing strategy for independent radio and appliance retailers which will enable them to survive, grow and trade profitably under current highly competitive conditions.

This dissertation is a theoretical and empirical supported discussion about Women’s professional soccer (WPS) in the USA. The aim is to discuss the challenges to establish a professional soccer league for women. Questions of importance are what is the product, how is the product marketed, and who is the intended consumer. The material for the discussion is extracted from interviews with people who are or have been involved with the WPS. Other sources are material from the Internet that concerns or relates to the WPS as well as literature about marketing, product development and soccer in the US. The theory that’s mostly used is C Wright Mills ideas about individual and structure and also management and marketing models that are used to explain the material when it’s needed. Four areas are defined as the foundation, which correlates to each other. First what the discussion revolves around: the WPS. Then there’s the format of the WPS, which is franchise. Further, a sport franchise needs to be sellable to an audience. Therefore matters concerning product and marketing need to be addressed. These are the four principal areas that will be discussed, to begin with. Later in the discussion the question of gender arises. But equality between the sexes is not a prerequisite for the WPS, as the other four areas are, it’s mere a possible result. Therefore other theories than gender theories are in focus since the aim is to locate strengths, weaknesses and challenges for the league. With that said a gender perspective is present and will be explored at the end. The core discussion is turned towards the consumer and the target market. Do the management of the WPS actually know who is coming to the games? Do they know what these consumers want from the product? And if they don’t know this, they can’t know how to market the product.

<p><strong>Syfte: </strong>Syftet med denna uppsats är att utvärdera utvecklingen av objektannonser i mäklarbranschen genom tiden, vad gäller utformning av annonser och val av mediekanaler.

The purpose of this thesis is to find a proper positioning strategy for China self-owned car brands in the Chinese market. For this purpose, the authors used the theory about brand positioning, target market and segmentation, brand image, differentiation and general positioning process. What’s more, the authors conducted a questionnaire research, studied the Geely acquisition case, and collected information from consumers’ perspectives to understand the current positioning situation of the Chinese automakers. In the methodology part, limitations of the quantitative and qualitative data are discussed, and the authors presented suggestions for further studies. After gathering empirical data, the authors analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese car, Geely and Volvo, introduced competitor’s performance to make clear the current situation of China self-owned car brands. From the analysis, the present brand image of Chinese car is low-price and bad-quality in the consumers’ mind. The authors tried to figure out a proper brand image for Chinese car to increase the market share in the domestic market. In conclusion, developing safe car of high quality and targeting the middle-class market is the optimal choice for current China self-owned car brands.
