[en] DO APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS INCREASE LABOR MARKET OPPORTUNITIES? / [pt] PROGRAMAS DE APRENDIZAGEM AUMENTAM AS OPORTUNIDADES NO MERCADO DE TRABALHO?DAVI PRADO NOVAIS MOURA 10 October 2023 (has links)
[pt] Este artigo estuda o impacto de um dos maiores programas de aprendizagem do mundo, o programa Jovem Aprendiz no Brasil, nas decisões de contratação das empresas. O programa teve como objetivo expandir as oportunida desde emprego para jovens, combinando incentivos fiscais e cotas de contratação para que as empresas contratem aprendizes. No entanto, esses incentivos não impedem que as empresas substituam contratos de não aprendizes por contratos de aprendizes. Para avaliar esses efeitos, utilizamos uma abordagem de diferenças em diferenças escalonadas, que aproveita um limite exógeno para a entrada no programa. Nossos resultados indicam que as empresas aumentam a contratação de aprendizes após ultrapassar o limite. No entanto, esse aumento é acompanhado por uma redução na entrada de trabalhadores entrantes que não são aprendizes, o que é consistente com a hipótese de substituição. / [en] This paper studies the impact of one of the largest apprenticeship
programs in the world, the Jovem Aprendiz program in Brazil, on firms
hiring decisions. The program aimed to expand job opportunities among young
individuals by combining tax incentives and hiring quotas for firms to hire
apprentices. However, these incentives do not prevent firms from substituting
non-apprentice contracts for apprentice contracts. To assess these effects, we
use a staggered differences-in-differences approach that leverages an exogenous
threshold for entry into the program. Our results indicate that firms increase
the hiring of apprentices after surpassing the threshold. However, this rise is
accompanied by a decline in the entry of non-apprentices first-time workers,
consistent with the substitution hypothesis.

The Impact of Digitalization on Internationalization of High-Tech Firms : A Case Study of Space CompanyMuriu, Elizabeth Wangeci January 2021 (has links)
ABSTRACT This master thesis examined the impact of digitalization on the speed of internationalization and explores the various foreign market entry options for a company that would like to expand from a developed market to an emerging market as part of its internationalization. The case study analyzed in this paper is Arctic Space Technologies, a unique satellite operator company offering an all-in-one solution for sustainable satellite data handling and processing. The firm’s founders have a niche market (satellite operators) and have established business in Sweden and would like to enter an emerging market (South Africa). The firm can be classified under the high-tech industry and the study obtained valuable information that could be useful to other similar firms. The nature of technology for adoption is easily transferable for such firms regardless of geographical location. Digitalization is instrumental in facilitating earlier and faster internationalization through digitalized knowledge, network creation and decision-making processes (Coviello et al., 2017). The digitalization of new foreign market development helps such firms to efficiently identify new market opportunities in global markets and with this approach, they save resources while developing the most attractive markets (Neubert, 2018a). Qualitative research was applied through a company case study, where primary interviews and a survey were used to collect data. A case study was employed to further understand and practically apply adaptations a firm can make to increase its chances of success in a foreign market environment. The researcher also obtained information from desktop and literature review. The study findings suggested that business networking, business models, culture and geographical distance, market size are key factors that influence the choice of foreign market entry mode for a high-tech firm internationalization process from a developed market to an emerging market. In addition, the main challenges faced by born-global firm in entering an emerging market includes, lack of financial resources, management transitions and lack of proper market information for the internationalization process. The firm may need to identify information related to the market size, competitors, financial costs and entry barriers of the emerging market. The study insight was that despite the born global firms’ nature of technology enabling faster adoption in terms of digitalization being instrumental in facilitating their internationalization process through the digitalized knowledge, network creation and decision-making processes, they still face the challenges of entry into unfamiliar emerging markets. The researcher identified the institutional voids faced, liability of foreignness and noted that it would be crucial for the firm to conduct a proper environmental analysis. This may include political and legal forces, economic forces, social-cultural forces and technological forces. Arctic Space Technologies may need to create relevant business networks and the study identified that the ideal foreign market entry mode would be Joint venture/Partnership. Since the South African government is keen on foreign investors/entrepreneurs entering into their market through partnership with a local business entity. The firm could establish a good network with South African National Space Agency (SANSA) and other space firms in the country. SANSA is keen on fostering international partnerships to enable unlock opportunities for the national space sector. Further studies could investigate the time frames for high-tech firms internationalization processes. Further research is needed to analyze connections between software firms’ business models and selected entry modes by using a quantitative research method. The study could also be extended to other emerging countries in Africa and new business opportunities in the global markets for high-tech firms especially with the changing dynamics of international business in the wake of the current pandemic.

ESSAYS ON MARKET ENTRY STRATEGY AND MARKET COMPETITION IN THE PROPERTY-LIABILITY INSURANCE INDUSTRYDu, Yuan, 0000-0002-7463-5960 January 2020 (has links)
This dissertation consists of two chapters. Chapter 1 focuses on the barriers that diversifying companies could face and explore how barriers to entry differ across different types of entry. Chapter 2 turns the attention to the market competition among insurance companies that are already in a market and examines how product bundling impact insurers' market power.
Chapter 1 proposes and estimates a multi-agent model of entry. The prior literature often treats the number of companies in a market as an exogenous measure of market structure. However, the number of companies is endogenously decided by the market structure and other participants. Thus, I propose a structural model of entry to address the endogenous entry decision. In addition, the estimations are conducted at each market-year level, therefore, it provides an opportunity to delineate the relative importance of barriers to entry across three dimensions: geographic, product, and time. I find that barriers to entry exist in the financial services industry, and can be quite substantial to the \textit{de novo} entrants. Overall, I find \textit{de novo} entrants are the ones most subject to barriers to entry across all markets. Expanding within a state is as costly as expanding within a product line. Upon further examination, I discover that product-specific knowledge, such as underwriting expertise, pricing schemes, and coverage designs, plays a critical role in a successful expansion. This information is also relatively more important than state-specific connections, such as how well the company knows its customers and connections with distribution channels. Among all product lines, I find that expertise in mortgage guaranty insurance creates the most barriers, and these barriers are most subject to impacts of the financial crisis.
In Chapter 2, I turn the focus to the market competition \emph{within} a market and explore the impact of product bundling on market power. Product bundling is a popular way for companies to retain their customers and keep up with fast-changing market demand. In this chapter, I will specifically examine the impact of bundling on price elasticity for personal lines of insurance. Insurance demand estimation is well-explored in the literature because it is difficult to obtain individual-level data. I overcome this hurdle by using a random coefficients logit model, which incorporates flexible consumer preferences over companies' characteristics. The second difficulty in insurance demand estimation is that it is hard to find a good instrument for the endogenous price. Therefore, I propose a novel instrument, which exploits an idiosyncrasy in insurance tax laws for identification. I find that bundling, on average, can reduce consumers' price sensitivity. Thus, companies that can offer bundle-able products experience a less elastic demand and achieve market power. However, product bundling has differential impacts on the auto insurance and homeowners' insurance markets. Auto insurers that offer bundled packages experience less elastic demand in response to price increases. However, we do not observe similar patterns in the homeowners' insurance market, where doing so intensifies price elasticity. With a closer examination, we discover that the different valuation in homeowners is not driven by the financial ratings of insurers. This indicates that homeowners tend to value other characteristics, such as claims management and the quality of service, more than just price of the contract. / Business Administration/Risk Management and Insurance

Biosimilars: A New Look on Process Innovation and the Impact of Competitive DynamicsKnighton, John Edward January 2018 (has links)
As healthcare costs are rising globally and biologic treatments are a growing segment of the cost, governments have created biosimilar regulatory pathways in attempt to lower the costs of biologics. Biosimilars may be viewed as a “pure” or distinct type of process innovation completely separate from product innovation due to the Regulatory requirements and this novel phenomenon allows, perhaps for the first time, process innovation to be studied independently from product innovation. This phenomenon is researched using the competitive dynamic Awareness-Motivation-Capability (AMC) model structure. Since biosimilars are still relatively new, the impact of the biosimilars from a practical and academic viewpoint is emerging and in particular within the US market. This research creates a biosimilar model and metrics, filling a current gap in the literature, and quantitatively evaluates the actions that firms face regarding entering into the biosimilars market due to key metrics such as patent / portfolio risk, prior biologics or generic experience, strength of the R&D pipeline, and the firm’s R&D intensity. The biosimilar construct due to the strict regulatory pathway definition provides this unique and novel opportunity to study process innovation and the impact on competitive dynamics without the interference of product innovation. This research is anticipated to contribute to the practical and academic understanding of process innovation via the biosimilar phenomenon and the competitive dynamics of market entry as well as to promote further managerial research into this area of biosimilars. / Business Administration/Strategic Management

The evaluation of external factors on the decision to enter a new, non-domestic market: An exploratory study.Whitelock, Jeryl M., Jobber, David January 2004 (has links)
No / A study of key decision makers in a sample of large international companies explored the non-domestic market entry decision. A literature review revealed five broad external domains which held the potential to affect that decision. A series of statements was factor analysed to reveal ten more specific variables. An analysis of which variables discriminated between the decision to enter and not enter a new non-domestic market demonstrated that geocultural/political similarity, developed economy, attractive market, good market information and governmental attitude significantly affected the decision. The findings supported a marketing-strategy based theory of market entry.

Facilitating Market Entry for First-Time Homebuyers : An Analysis of Existing Proposals and Measures That Are Missing / Underlätta marknadsinträde för förstagångsköpare : En analys av befintliga förslag och åtgärder som saknasNisic, Alina January 2024 (has links)
The Swedish homeownership market has had its ups and downs over the years with rising and falling prices and supply. What has remained unchanged is the difficulty of entering the market and buying a home, especially as a young adult. Therefore, proposals for measures aimed at improving the challenges surrounding market entry have been put forward, but despite that, the situation has not improved. Thus, the aim of the study was to explore what measures and solutions have been developed in Sweden between the years of 2000 and 2024 that make it easier for young adults who are first-time homebuyers to enter the homeownership market. The consequences of the proposed measures were then clarified in order to determine their effects in the housing market if implemented. Based on this, the study identified potential gaps and suggested additional measures that are needed to better support market entry for this group. The existing literature highlights the increasing difficulty that young adults face when trying to enter the homeownership market, which is due to factors such as limited supply, high housing prices, low incomes, and stringent loan requirements. Prospect theory, housing economics, and moral hazard provided a framework for understanding the decision-making processes of first-time buyers and the potential risks associated with government interventions. The chosen method was semi-structured interviews, conducted with experts from relevant authorities and companies, as well as with first-time homebuyers. This approach allowed for an in-depth exploration of the participants' perspectives on the proposed measures, their effects, and the need for additional ones. The conclusions were that between 2000 and 2024 the proposed measures consisted of the start loan, raising the mortgage cap, adjusting the amortization requirements, co-ownership, acquisition guarantee, and subsidized housing savings. The findings suggested that measures aimed at easing loan requirements are likely to increase demand for housing, potentially leading to higher housing prices if there is no corresponding increase in supply. Also, measures that increase the accessibility to loans may lead to higher indebtedness and financial vulnerability, but at the same time may act as short-term solutions and enable first-time buyers to enter the market by reducing upfront costs. Hence, there is a need for policies that increase housing supply and, in turn, lower the housing prices and increase access to the market. There is also a demand for individualized amortization requirements and flexible credit assessments for first-time buyers, as well as long-term solutions like subsidized savings. / Den svenska bostadsmarknaden har haft sina upp- och nedgångar genom åren med stigande och fallande priser och utbud. Det som har förblivit oförändrat är svårigheten att komma in på marknaden och köpa sin första bostad, särskilt som ung vuxen. Därför har förslag på åtgärder som syftar till att förbättra utmaningarna kring marknadsinträde lagts fram, men trots detta har situationen inte förbättrats. Syftet med studien var därför att undersöka vilka åtgärder och lösningar som har tagits fram i Sverige mellan åren 2000 och 2024 som syftar till att göra det enklare för unga vuxna som är förstagångsköpare att ta sig in på bostadsmarknaden. Sedan klargjordes konsekvenserna av de föreslagna åtgärderna för att kunna avgöra deras effekter på bostadsmarknaden om de implementeras. Baserat på detta identifierade studien potentiella luckor och föreslog ytterligare åtgärder som behövs för att bättre stödja marknadsinträde för denna grupp. Den befintliga litteraturen belyser den ökande svårigheten som unga vuxna möter när de försöker ta sig in på bostadsmarknaden, vilket beror på faktorer som begränsat utbud, höga bostadspriser, låga inkomster och strikta lånekrav. Prospektteori, bostadsekonomi och moralisk risk gav ett ramverk för att förstå förstagångsköparnas beslutsprocesser och de potentiella riskerna med statliga ingripanden. Den valda metoden var semistrukturerade intervjuer som genomfördes med experter från relevanta myndigheter och företag, samt med förstagångsköpare. Detta tillvägagångssätt möjliggjorde en djupgående utforskning av deltagarnas perspektiv på de föreslagna åtgärderna, deras effekter och behovet av ytterligare åtgärder. Slutsatserna var att de föreslagna åtgärderna mellan 2000 och 2024 bestod av startlånet, höjning av bolånetaket, justering av amorteringskraven, samägande, förvärvsgarantin och subventionerat bosparande. Resultaten tyder på att åtgärder som syftar till att lätta på lånekraven sannolikt kommer att öka efterfrågan på bostäder, vilket potentiellt kan leda till högre bostadspriser om det inte sker en motsvarande ökning av utbudet. Åtgärder som ökar tillgängligheten till lån kan också leda till högre skuldsättning och finansiell sårbarhet, men kan samtidigt fungera som kortsiktiga lösningar och möjliggöra för förstagångsköpare att komma in på marknaden genom att sänka de initiala kostnaderna. Därav behövs en politik som ökar bostadsutbudet och i sin tur sänker bostadspriserna och ökar tillgången till marknaden. Det finns också efterfrågan för individbaserade amorteringskrav och flexibla kreditbedömningar för förstagångsköpare, samt långsiktiga lösningar som subventionerat sparande.

Syftet med denna uppsats ämnar att beskriva svenska modeföretags internationaliseringsprocess. Därför ska vi undersöka och analysera nätverkets betydelse, barriärers påverkan, val av etableringsstrategier och varumärkesbyggnad vid internationalisering. För att uppnå syftet med vår studie har nedanstående huvudproblem formulerats: Hur går svenska modeföretag tillväga vid etablering och varumärkesbyggnad på den internationella marknaden? Uppsatsens teoretiska utgångspunkt innefattar svenska modeföretags etablering på den internationella marknaden vilket berör internationaliseringsprocessen, nätverksperspektiv, barriärer, etableringsstrategier samt varumärkesbyggnad. Studien utgår från en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med en deduktiv ansats där fyra fallstudier har tillämpats. I empirin redogörs en jämförelse mellan fallföretagen, vilket leder fram till analysen där empirin ställs mot teorin. Uppsatsens slutsats visar att svenska modeföretags internationaliseringsprocess innebär att företag ställs inför olika utmaningar som val av marknad och att hitta samarbetspartners. Företag väljer etableringsstrategi för företagens verksamhet och bygger upp varumärket på den internationella marknaden. Avslutningsvis presenterar vi det gap vi funnit i teorin, teoretiska bidrag, praktiska rekommendationer samt framhäver förslag till vidare forskning. / The purpose of this paper is to describe the internationalization process of Swedish fashion companies’. Therefore, the network's importance, the barriers impact, choice of market entry mode and brand building in the internationalization will be examined and analyzed. In order to achieve the purpose of our study the following main question were formulated: How do Swedish fashion companies’ proceed with expansion and brand building in the international market? The theoretical base of the thesis includes Swedish fashion companies’ establishment in the international market which affects the internationalization process, the network perspective, barriers, market entry mode and brand building. The study is based on a qualitative research method with a deductive approach where four case studies have been applied. In the empirical data a comparison is presented between the four case studies, followed by analysis where the empirical data is compared against the theory. The study’s conclusion implies that Swedish fashion companies’ internationalization process implies that companies’ face different challenges such as the choice of market and finding partners and the choice of market entry mode for the business and brand building on the international market.

Contractors business development for overseas marketsCheong, Chit Sun January 2010 (has links)
The survival and sustainable development of construction contractors depends on their own capacity as well as their ability to cope with the ever changing environment. Hong Kong was once a large construction market by the world standards; but in the period 1998 to 2007 has suffered from long term market shrinkage. This shrinkage in the work load available in the market has demanded that Hong Kong contractors change their business strategy and consider expanding their construction business to the international marketplace. From surveys and studies of Hong Kong contractors, it is noted that traditionally the majority of contractors organizations were not active in participating in the international construction markets. The prime reasons were that the Hong Kong domestic market was large enough to sustain the contractors and that Hong Kong construction professionals are reluctant to work overseas. However due to the continuous shrinkage of the market, Hong Kong contractors were being forced to consider expanding their construction business to the overseas markets in order to survive. This thesis reviews existing theories and previous studies in overseas con-struction business development. It analyzes surveys of Hong Kong con-struction contractors and conducts a scientific study of a Hong Kong based contractor organization which expanded its construction business to overseas markets. This study was conducted through an integrated action research methodology. Based on the problems, impacts, difficulties and success this organization faced during its practical experience in the overseas business expansion, this thesis explores and recommends a structured approach for Hong Kong contractors to re-define and develop their business overseas. The focus of study is the pre-contract award stage of business development. It focuses on the entry modes, strategic planning, risk management and tender management of the organization. The author also presents various models for use in attaining width and depth of understanding of overseas knowledge. These include preliminary entry selection model, dynamic management, and a spiral model (a learning & knowledge based business development model), for use in the management of international construction business development at the pre-contract stage. The groundwork laid down in this thesis will form the basis for further studies and the development of theories / models. It is the expectation of the author that other contractors in Hong Kong and other nation s contractors may make use of this research as assistance to their overseas business development. The ultimate aim of the author has been to change the goal of contractors from being companies able to compete with international contractors in their domestic market to contractors that are able to compete in the international market place.
