Facebook como o novo canal de distribuição de notícias

As redes sociais estão a mudar a forma como os leitores acedem a conteúdos noticiosos e interagem com eles, não só recomendando notícias como facilitando conversas. Hoje, o Facebook é parte do quotidiano de um quinto da população mundial. Mas poderá esta rede social ser um canal de distribuição de notícias online? Esta investigação a que nos propomos tem por base o estudo de caso do Correio da Manhã, um dos jornais portugueses com maior circulação em papel e que se tornou líder no digital, em grande parte, graças à sua estratégia nas redes sociais. A análise e a aplicação de conceitos sobre o uso do Facebook, com vista ao aumento das audiências de um site noticioso, permitem tirar conclusões, quantitativas e qualitativas, sobre a problemática em questão. Como podem as publicações jornalísticas tirar melhor partido do Facebook? Deverá o jornalismo digital especializar-se na distribuição de notícias através das redes sociais? Quais as estratégias a aplicar para incrementar as audiências de um website através do Facebook como canal de distribuição? Neste contexto, pretendeu-se fazer uma análise sobre a forma como os meios de comunicação social estão a usar o Facebook para uma abordagem das melhores práticas jornalísticas nesta rede social. É nosso propósito examinar o papel das notícias no Facebook e a forma como os jornalistas se devem comportar, numa tentativa de criar regras para se tirar o melhor proveito do Facebook em função das audiências

Structure of marketing channels of selected manufacturing industries in Kerala

The study evolved from the basic premise that the existing distribution structure is not adequate or adaptive to meet the needs of the expanding manufacturing sector and the emerging mass market. The hypothised causes of the problem are the following: marketing channels are not used for strategy differentiation by manufacturers: there are too many intermediaries in the channels; the distributive institutions are not adaptive; and there is very little control over the flow of products through the channels. These assumptions about the causes of the problem have been translated into specific hypotheses and tested with data. Empirical analysis, while supporting some of these hypotheses, challenges certain widely held notions. The ensuing summary presents the important findings, in the sequence in which they are discussed in the study.

Perceptions of Sustainability and Functional Aspects on Liquid Carton Board Packaging Materials versus Competing Materials for Juice Applications in Sweden

This research explores the downstream perceptions of liquid carton board versus competing materials in packaging applications for juice. The methodology used is focus groups. The context is sustainability and functional performance, and related potential implications for the beverage industry value chain. The purpose is to get a deeper insight and understanding of functionality in relation to juice beverage packaging. The results confirm that there is no optimal packaging for every juice product, but a multitude, depending on the distribution channel, retail outlet, customer preferences, and context of consumption. There are some general packaging preferences, but the main deciding criteria for purchase seem to be the product characteristics in terms of quality, taste, brand, price and shelf life. For marketing reasons, packaging has to be adopted to the product and its positioning, liquid carton board packaging seem to have some functional advantages in distribution and is considered as sustainable and functional among many consumers. Major drawbacks seem to be shape limitations, lack of transparency, and lack of a “premium look”. To improve packaging performance and avoid sub-optimization, actors in the beverage industry value chain need to be integrated in development processes.

Estudo do impacto do ponto-de-venda no índice de matrículas do colégio Americano Batista

A Ciência da Localização é amplamente utilizada por várias outras ciências, inclusive pelo Marketing, que, com o apoio da Geografia, forma o Geomarketing, área de estudo cada vez mais utilizada para a localização do ponto-de-venda. Na divisão do composto do Marketing, uma das estratégias é o canal de distribuição em que se encontra o Marketing de varejo. A localização do ponto-de-venda é uma das preocupações do empresário varejista, quando decide abrir uma loja ou uma nova loja para aumentar a sua rede. A abertura de um ponto-de-venda pode ser realizada intuitivamente pelo próprio varejista ou por um profissional do Marketing, com estudos técnicos e pesquisas. Nesse contexto, a criação de uma unidade escolar pode passar pelo mesmo processo técnico usado na abertura de lojas comerciais. O Colégio Americano Batista, situado no Centro de Vitória, Estado do Espírito Santo, instituição quase centenária, encontrava-se dentro do processo de transferência do comércio da cidade para outra área e, com isso, poderia sofrer as conseqüências desse processo. O presente trabalho concentra-se em estudar o impacto provocado pela abertura de novas unidades no total de matrículas da Instituição.

Market orientation of hotels and travel services in China

China is unique both politically and economically. How this uniqueness impacts on firms'' adoption of market orientation and the impact of market orientation on business performance, however, remain unclear. This book reports a study by Dr Riliang Qu who aims to address the above knowledge void. The study employs a two-stage research strategy including interviews and a survey of 1000 hotels and travel services. The study found that government regulations restricting the firm rivalry and the shortage of competent managerial talents are among the most serious constraints to the firms'' development of market orientation along with such factors as inadequacy of government regulation on product quality and consumer protection. The findings suggest that in transitional like China, government actions could be a major force behind firms'' aspiration of being market-oriented. The study also found that the benefits of market orientation are multi-fold in that it not only improves company''s business performance but also has positive effects on customer satisfaction/retention, power in distribution channel, and corporate social responsibility.

Digitaalisten teosten maailmanlaajuinen rekisteröinti ja käyttömaksujen kerääminen internetissä

The vastly increased popularity of the Internet as an effective publication and distribution channel of digital works has created serious challenges to enforcing intellectual property rights. Works are widely disseminated on the Internet, with and without permission. This thesis examines the current problems with licence management and copy protection and outlines a new method and system that solve these problems. The WARP system (Works, Authors, Royalties, and Payments) is based on global registration and transfer monitoring of digital works, and accounting and collection of Internet levy funded usage fees payable to the authors and right holders of the works. The detection and counting of downloads is implemented with origrams, short and original parts picked from the contents of the digital work. The origrams are used to create digests, digital fingerprints that identify the piece of work transmitted over the Internet without the need to embed ID tags or any other easily removable metadata in the file.

Present status of harvesting, transportation and marketing of freshwater Small Indigenous Species of Fish (SIS) of Bangladesh

A survey conducted to evaluate the present status of harvesting, transportation and marketing of freshwater SIS of Bangladesh showed that among the 56 to 73 species of small indigenous fish species (SIS), mola (Amblypharyngodon mola), dhela (Osteobrama cotio cotio), puti (Barbodes sarana), tit puti (Puntius ticto), tengra (Mystus vitatus), chapila ( Gudusia chapra), batashi (Pseudotropius atherinoides), buzuri tengra (Mystus tengra), katchki (Corika soborna), gol chanda (Chanda ranga), lamba chanda (Chanda nama), phul chela (Chela phulo) and lata (Channa punctatus) are the most common. But the abundance of the mola, puti, tengra, batashi and chapila are higher than the other SIS species. Puti was at the top of the list in percentage abundance (7-9%), followed by mola (7-8%), tengra 6-7% and chapila 5-6% in all the investigated areas. Three levels of market or marketing systems were observed in the distribution channel of fish trade: primary, secondary/higher secondary and final consuming markets. Primary market is the catching point in the rural area. In secondary market, the collectors bring the fish from primary market to the landing ghats, usually to the nearest thana market or at a place well linked by rivers, road and rail transport. On purchasing the fish from the higher secondary market, the paikars sell the fish to the retailers who take it to the final consumer market. Different types of crafts and gears are used for catching the SIS in Bangladesh. Monofilament gill nets (20%), traps and line nets (25%) and seine nets (25%) are the dominant gears in respect of the total catch followed by lift net (10%) and cast net (20%). A total of 10 types of gear are listed according to their mode of operation which used for catching SIS. The processors in consumer market received higher marketing profit followed by primary market and secondary market, respectively.
