Esta dissertação tem como objetivo central investigar fatores que moderam a relação entre satisfação pós-recuperação e intenção de recompra no varejo online. Mais especificamente, esta pesquisa visa analisar se os construtos qualidade do relacionamento, resistência à mudança e motivo inferido moderam a relação entre satisfação com o gerenciamento de reclamações e intenção de recompra no varejo online. Para verificar tais moderações, inicialmente foi realizada a etapa exploratória de pesquisa, na qual, por meio de entrevistas em profundidade, evidenciou-se que as variáveis propostas poderiam moderar a relação entre a variável independente e dependente desta dissertação, bem como foi adicionado o construto valor econômico como possível moderador da relação entre satisfação pós-reclamação e intenção de recompra. Em seguida, para testar as hipóteses propostas foi aplicada uma survey junto a consumidores norte-americanos (N=500), operacionalizada com auxílio do Qualtrics, via Mechanical Turk. Como resultado dos testes, tem-se que a qualidade do relacionamento, o motivo inferido e a percepção de valor econômico moderam a relação entre satisfação pós-recuperação e intenção de recompra no varejo online, ou seja, podem explicar, em partes, a não linearidade da relação entre a variável independente e dependente desta pesquisa. Destaca-se ainda que as dimensões da qualidade do relacionamento (a saber: satisfação, confiança e comprometimento) sugeridas neste estudo também moderaram, individualmente, a relação entre a variável independente e dependente desta pesquisa. Sendo assim, esta dissertação contribuiu para a literatura de Marketing e comércio eletrônico ao evidenciar que tanto a qualidade do relacionamento, bem como as dimensões de satisfação, confiança e comprometimento moderam a relação entre satisfação com o gerenciamento de reclamações e intenção de recompra. Além disso, evidencia-se que a elevada percepção de valor econômico, e os motivos inferidos pelos clientes (se positivos), diante da falha inicial ocorrida, também podem sinalizar intenções de recompra dos consumidores junto a sites varejistas. / This dissertation aims to investigate factors that moderate the relationship between satisfaction with complaint handling and repurchase intention in online retail. More specifically, this research aims to examine whether the quality of the relationship constructs, resistance to change and inferred motive moderate the relationship between satisfaction with complaint handling and repurchase intention in online retail. To test such moderations, was taken an exploratory research stage through in-depth interviews in which it became clear that the proposed constructs could moderate the relationship between the independent and dependent variables of this dissertation, as well as the variable economic value was added as a possible moderator of the relationships between satisfaction with complaint handling and repurchase intention. Then, to test the hypotheses was applied a survey with online consumers (N=500) from United States, through Qualtrics and Mechanical Turk. The results indicate that the relationship quality, the inferred motive and the perceived economic value moderated the relationship between satisfaction with complaint handling and repurchase intention in online retail. It is emphasized that the dimensions of relationship quality (satisfaction, trust and commitment) suggested in this study also moderated, in an individual way, the relationship between the independent and dependent variables of this study. Thus, this dissertation has contributed to the literature of marketing and e-commerce by showing that both the relationship quality as well as the dimensions (satisfaction, trust and commitment) moderate the relationship between satisfaction with complaint handling and repurchase intention. Furthermore, it is evident that the high perceived economic value, and the motive inferred by customers (if positive), facing the initial failure occurred, can also indicate repurchase intentions of consumers with online retailers.

The amendment of the Companies Act 61 of 1973 in 1999 by Companies Amendment Act 37 of 1999 made it possible for the first time, in South Africa, for a company to acquire its own shares and for a subsidiary to acquire shares in its holding company. The position introduced by the 1999 amendments was repealed in 2011 with the coming into effect of the Companies Act 71 of 2008. I have compared capital maintenance rule under the Companies Act 61 of 1973, as amended in 1999 with capital maintenance rule under the Companies Act 71 of 2008. I have also examined in detailed the requirements to be complied with when a company acquires its shares as well as the requirements to be complied with when a subsidiary acquires shares in its holding company.

The capital maintenance rules stem from the English company law and were primarily aimed at protecting the rights of a company’s creditors. Before the introduction of the Companies Amendment Act 37 of 1998, a company was prohibited from purchasing its own shares. After this legislation was passed, a company was able to do so, provided that it satisfied the solvency and liquidity test and also complied with the new statutory provisions set out by sections 85 to 89 of the Companies Act 61 of 1973. Section 48 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 now regulates the acquisition by a company of its own shares, as well as the acquisition of shares in its holding company by a subsidiary company. The above actions also fall under the ambit of a “distribution” as defined in the Act and therefore need to satisfy the requirements of section 46 of the Act as well. Unlike its predecessor, the provisions in the new Act are very broad and devoid of guidelines. The emphasis is placed on companies satisfying the principles of solvency and liquidity. Non-adherence to these provisions gives rise to the personal liability of the company’s directors. The provisions of section 48 do not apply where a dissenting shareholder exercises his appraisal rights in terms of section 164 of the new Act, or where a company redeems redeemable securities. These exceptions do, however, still amount to “distributions” and will accordingly need to satisfy the requirements contained in section 46 of the Act. Redeemable securities were initially not exempted from the provisions of section 48. This would potentially have given rise to a situation where a company could approach a court in terms of section 48(6) to reverse a redemption of its securities. It would have had dire consequences for financing by way of redeemable securities. In terms of the Companies Amendment Act 3 of 2011 redeemable securities are now specifically exempted from the provisions of section 48. In terms of the new Act a subsidiary company is allowed to purchase shares in its holding company to a maximum of 10% in the aggregate of the issued shares of any share class, provided that no voting rights attached to such shares may be exercised. The new Act fails to properly address some of the issues regarding the “round-tripping” of dividends and the declaration of a dividend in specie that were already identified as far back as 2001. Where the consideration for a repurchase constitutes a “dividend” as defined in the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962, the company will be liable to pay secondary tax on companies in respect thereof. If a distribution does not constitute a dividend, capital gains tax is payable with regard to it. Share repurchases are allowed in terms of Canadian corporate law after the legislative reform which occurred in that country during the 1970’s. The Canadian Business Corporations Act contains provisions that bear a striking resemblance to the provisions of the new Act adopted in South Africa. Whilst the basis and rationale behind the new corporate legislation cannot be faulted, a host of issues and concerns still remain. The unfortunate consequence is that the new Act lacks transparency and is fraught with clumsy errors. Copyright / Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Mercantile Law / unrestricted

No. of bitstreams: 1 Luiz Silva dos Santos.pdf: 1818866 bytes, checksum: 5ebb03d38952f88ab9db4ffc34d88a3f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-03-31 / The main objective of this work is to determine which of the two main constructs available in the marketing literature on the involvement of consumers (PII Personal Involvement Inventory - Zaichkowsky - 1994) and (NIP New involment Profile - Jain and Srinivasan - 1990), has the greatest power prediction as to word of mouth and repurchase intention to participate in street racing events in the city of São Paulo. The street race has shown an exponential increase in the number of practitioners every year in the same proportion also increases the number of events related to this sport practice, showing its importance as a promoter in the act of consumption, health and well-being of the population . Moreover, it is a popular sport low cost, low risk, high efficiency and great practicality. With this growth, the market has simultaneously attracting more competition between companies that organize these events in São Paulo, generating new challenges so that we can provide participants with a greater range of products and services to be offered to such customers and street runners, who are increasingly involved with this sport. Data were collected through a field survey with a sample of 320 respondents. To analyze the data we used structural equation modeling technique where it was found that construct NIP New involment Profile, it showed the best predictive results in relation to the mouth of variables mouth and repurchase intention. With the results obtained in this study is expected to increase knowledge of consumer involvement with sports and can be used by researchers and professionals of marketing and sport management. / O principal objetivo desta dissertação é determinar qual dos dois principais construtos disponíveis na literatura de marketing sobre o envolvimento dos consumidores (PII Personal Involvement Inventory de Zaichkowsky - 1994) e (NIP New Involment Profile de Jain e Srinivasan - 1990), tem o maior poder de predição quanto ao boca a boca e a intenção de recompra de participação em eventos de corrida de rua na Cidade de São Paulo. A corrida de rua tem mostrado um aumento exponencial no número de praticantes a cada ano, na mesma proporção aumenta também o número de eventos relacionados a essa prática esportiva, mostrando a sua importância como promotora no ato de consumo, saúde e bem-estar da população. Além disso, é um esporte popular de baixo custo, baixo risco, alta eficiência e grande praticidade. Com esse crescimento, o mercado vem atraindo simultaneamente uma maior concorrência entre as empresas que organizam esses eventos na cidade de São Paulo, gerando novos desafios a fim de que se possa proporcionar aos participantes uma gama maior de produtos e serviços a serem oferecidos a esses consumidores e praticantes de corrida de rua, que estão cada vez mais envolvidos com essa prática esportiva. Os dados foram coletados através de uma pesquisa de campo com uma amostra de 320 respondentes. Para analisar os dados foi utilizada a técnica de Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, onde constatou-se que construto NIP New Involment Profile, foi o que apresentou os melhores resultados preditivos em relação as variáveis de boca a boca e a intenção de recompra. Com os resultados obtidos nesta pesquisa espera-se ampliar o conhecimento sobre o envolvimento dos consumidores com esportes e que possam ser utilizados por pesquisadores e profissionais de marketing e gestão do esporte.

Den 10 mars 2000 blev det lagligt för publika aktiebolag att köpa tillbaka sina egna aktier i Sverige. Företag har därefter tagit tillfället i akt och använt detta distributionssätt. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka huruvida det finns skillnader i olika branscher gällande aktieåterköp under tidsperioden 2011–2019. Branscherna som studerades var industri, läkemedel, fastigheter, dagligvaror och telekommunikation. Undersökningen utfördes för att se om branschtillhörighet hade en inverkan på företag som använder sig av aktieåterköp. Samtliga företag som ingår i undersökningen är noterade på Nasdaq OMX Stockholm, Large-Cap. Studien använde en kvantitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats. Ett hypotestest utfördes som sedan prövades med en regressionsanalys för att se om det fanns signifikanta skillnader på aktieåterköp i olika branscher. Resultatet påvisade att det inte fanns några signifikanta branschskillnader, och branschtillhörighet har därför ingen inverkan på huruvida ett företag använder sig av aktieåterköp. Resultatet i denna studie går i linje med Higgins (1972) studie The corporate dividend-saving decision som menade att valet av utdelningspolitik inte påverkas av branschen företaget befinner sig i. / On March 10, 2000, it became legal for public limited companies to buy back their own shares in Sweden. Companies have since taken the opportunity and used this method of distribution. This study aims to examine whether there are differences in different industries regarding share repurchases during the period 2011-2019. The industries studied were pharmaceuticals, real estate, industry, consumer goods and telecommunications. The survey was conducted to see if industry affiliation had an impact on companies that use share repurchases. All companies included in the survey are listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm, Large-Cap. The study used a quantitative method with a deductive approach. A hypothesis test was performed which was then tested with a regression analysis to see if there were significant differences in share repurchases in various industries. The results showed that there were no significant industry differences, and industry affiliation therefore has no effect on whether a company uses share repurchases. The results of this study are in line with Higgins' (1972) study the corporate dividend-saving decision, which stated that the choice of dividend policy is not affected by the industry the company operates in.

En el presente trabajo se buscará analizar el mercado de aerolíneas Low Cost en la zona de Lima Metropolitana, Perú. Teniendo como principal objetivo confirmar si existe relación entre las variables: Calidad de servicio (AIRQUAL), Satisfacción e Intención de recompra. En este trabajo se realizó un estudio preliminar sobre la situación del mercado peruano; encontrando un crecimiento considerable en los últimos años. Sin embargo, se halló evidencia de un descontento por el servicio recibido por parte de las aerolíneas en cuestión pertenecientes a la categoría Low Cost. Por otro lado, bajo la información de investigaciones previas hechas principalmente en Europa y Asia se pudo ver la relación positiva existente entre la satisfacción de usuarios como resultado de la correcta aplicación de la calidad de servicio. Así como también la intención de recompra se vio enlazada a las otras variables como resultado de estas. Finalmente, la metodología a utilizar tendrá un alcance correlacional como explicativo; utilizando una recolección de datos en el aeropuerto Jorge Chávez, a pasajeros provenientes de vuelos nacionales, así como también se recolectará información de manera online a través de cuestionarios de Google. / In this paper we will analyze the Low Cost airline market in the Lima Metropolitan area, in Peru.
