Qual a importância do Marketing no ponto de venda no lançamento da sidra Somersby na região de Lisboa?

A dissertação que se apresenta enquadra-se na problemática da identificação da importância do Marketing no Ponto de Venda no lançamento de um produto, em concreto da sidra Somersby, com enfoque no canal on-trade. A utilização dos pontos de venda para divulgar a marca, assume um papel importante como factor explicativo do volume atingido, sendo dada relevância à sua influência ao longo de toda a investigação. Relativamente à metodologia adoptada no estudo do lançamento do produto e da importância do ponto de venda para o mesmo, recorreu-se à fixação de objectivos, à escolha das opções estratégicas, à formulação do Marketing Mix, com especial ênfase na comunicação, usando informação da empresa e do respectivo mercado. Como principal conclusão do estudo de mercado realizado destacam-se as acções de degustação feitas pela marca como sendo fundamentais para dar a conhecer a marca ao consumidor, assim como para dar um impulso ao volume de vendas da marca.

Integración de logística y distribución en el mix de marketing para la industria siderúrgica en la ciudad de Quito: caso Andec S.A.

El propósito de este proyecto de tesis es ilustrar a los lectores sobre las posibles alternativas de solución a una variable del mix de la mercadotecnia que es la logística como parte de la distribución, y que en la actualidad se ha convertido en un aspecto clave en las organizaciones, especialmente en aquellas que utilizan la cadena de suministros como valor agregado a sus operaciones. El mercado de la construcción en nuestro país ha crecido en los últimos años, muestra de un activo impulso a los créditos por parte de las instituciones financieras y de gobierno, en este aspecto, la industria siderúrgica y sus productos de acero para la construcción juegan un papel importante en este mercado. La logística de distribución está formada por procesos y actividades desde la compra de la materia prima hasta el despacho de producto terminado, en toda esta cadena se presentan situaciones que pueden afectar el desenvolvimiento normal de la misma. Es aquí donde nace la idea de mejorar este sistema de distribución y generar un valor agregado para la compañía y atender de manera eficiente a su mercado actual y potencial. La propuesta se basa en un modelo de diseño de rutas que permita generar un ahorro e incrementar la productividad de los procesos involucrados en las operaciones logísticas de la empresa.

Salt marsh morphodynamics: An investigation of tidal flows and marsh channel equilibrium

Although numerous field studies have evaluated flow and transport processes in salt marsh channels, the overall role of channels in delivering and removing material from salt marsh platforms is still poorly characterised. In this paper, we consider this issue based on a numerical hydrodynamic model for a prototype marsh system and on a field survey of the cross-sectional geometry of a marsh channel network. Results of the numerical simulations indicate that the channel transfers approximately three times the volume of water that would be estimated from mass balance considerations alone. Marsh platform roughness exerts a significant influence on the partitioning of discharge between the channel and the marsh platform edge, alters flow patterns on the marsh platform due to its effects on channel-to-platform transfer and also controls the timing of peak discharge relative to marsh-edge overtopping. Although peak channel discharges and velocities are associated with the flood tide and marsh inundation, a larger volume of water is transferred by the channel during ebb flows, a portion of which transfer takes place after the tidal height is below the marsh platform. Detailed surveys of the marsh channels crossing a series of transects at Upper Stiffkey Marsh, north Norfolk, England, show that the total channel cross-sectional area increases linearly with catchment area in the inner part of the marsh, which is consistent with the increase in shoreward tidal prism removed by the channels. Toward the marsh edge, however, a deficit in the total cross-sectional area develops, suggesting that discharge partitioning between the marsh channels and the marsh platform edge may also be expressed in the morphology of marsh channel systems.
