Abstract

Against a background of little published information on the strategies of East European producers, this article examines some of the overall objectives of such trade and offers a partial test of their effectiveness in one market area. Based on an empirical study undertaken for two car producers, the use of a particular cluster analysis technique allows a measure of their market segmentation in the UK. In spite of the severe constraints on many aspects of their strategies, the companies are shown to have established themselves in some unexpected market segments. The paper concludes by drawing some lessons for subsequent Western penetration from similar sources.

Abstract

The attraction of foreign direct investment has been an important strategic objective for successive UK governments for the past four decades. Within this, Scotland has pioneered in many of the methodological, process, and policy initiatives associated with investment attraction and development. This chapter assesses the evolution of investment strategy in that country and examines the patterns of activity which have emerged. These are evaluated, against the policy goals which were established for foreign investment in Scotland, and various important policy directions for the future are explored.

Abstract

Product development problems in many organizations appear to stem from the basic dilemma of all innovators, namely the extent to which the product change process can be successfully formalized by the erection of organizational and planning structures. Invariably the complex range of endogenous and exogenous pressures moving the company to product review are only too clear to all concerned. What is not clear is the extent to which product policy should be programmed or allowed to emerge under short term competitive pressures. In many ways, this remains as one of the major areas of business operations which has successfully avoided the application of control techniques widely employed in other areas to solve similar problems. This paper attempts to review the principal types of product planning procedures available to the decision taker and to comment on some of the less apparent problems arising in the development of products. Product development is defined in its widest sense for this purpose and includes the planned introduction of products, intrinsically new, or new to the company concerned, and the substantial modification of existing products. It is important for this paper that these three categories be considered as variations within the same exercise and not as discrete problems. The difference is one of degree, not of substance.

Abstract

Introduction Industrial holding companies continue to play an important role in the development of many Western style economies. These institutions take a wide variety of forms to accomplish their principal objective, namely the control and management of multi‐company systems which normally span a wide range of industrial sectors. They are more typically found in Europe and Japan than in the US, where both legal constraints and the pursuit of managerial efficiency have resulted in the dominance of the large scale integrated, multi‐unit corporation as an organisational form. Within Europe, especially in Belgium and France, inter‐market conglomerates and holding companies maintain an important position in some of the more basic sectors of the economy—including banking, insurance, transport, public utilities, basic metals and construction. In both these countries however, these are characteristically financial institutions managing a portfolio of stocks in order to exercise control over the companies in which they hold equity capital.

Abstract

Proposes that marketing efficiency is an area of enquiry that is both simultaneously ignored by marketing researchers, yet frequently referred to by implications. Reviews the existing measure of evaluation relating to a total assessment of the company in the marketplace. Concludes that much of marketing analysis must be satisfaction ‐ rather than optimisation‐oriented and thus a considerable proportion of measurements observed are concerned with effectiveness rather than efficiency and must be recognised as such.
