This case relates to the Indian subsidiary of South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor Company, Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), and how it faces the customer retention problems. It made their products appealing to Indians of the upper middle class who had little alternative but the blandly built versions offered by market leader Maruti Suzuki. With the launch of models like the Fluidic Verna and the Elantra, HMIL slowly began to emerge as a leader in many high-end automobile segments. In the automotive industry, customer retention is a big problem with the purchasing cycle of consumers ranging from at least 3 to 5 years and the cost of brand switching being negligible. Consequently, the challenge for marketers is to provide the customer with continuous satisfaction by providing a quality product, excellent after-sales service and regular customer engagement to make him more engaged with the company.

Description Papua New Guinea’s economic growth has outpaced the majority of economies in Southeast Asia and the Pacific since 2007. Its development challenges, however, remain daunting, and it lags behind other countries in the region in terms of per capita income and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. This raises the question of how the country can make its economic growth high, sustained, inclusive, and broad-based to more effectively improve its population’s welfare. This report identifies the critical constraints to these objectives and discusses policy options to help overcome such constraints.

Papua New Guinea (PNG) is endowed with a rich natural resource base, including major gold and copper deposits, large oil and natural gas reserves, vast expanses of agricultural land, and extensive forests and maritime fisheries. Mineral deposits, including oil, copper, and gold, account for 72% of export earnings. These rich natural resources provide the foundation for a markedly dualistic economy in which a dynamic, capital-intensive enclave minerals sector dominates, but 85 percent of the population derive their livelihood from agriculture, mainly lowproductivity labour-intensive farming. Although it has a population of only 6.2 million, its people are strikingly diverse, organized in small, fragmented social groups and speak over 800 distinct languages

This study is premised on the assumption that because of increased globalisation the trend towards strategic alliances is going to increase in the 21 st century. This is evident in the phenomenal growth towards the establishment of alliances the world over despite high failure rates. The study also makes an important assumption that a major cause of alliance failure is managerial in nature and therefore relates to the task performed by alliance managers. Whilst research in the West has attempted to focus on such failings, few researchers have attempted to understand the state of alliances in developing country contexts as well as the reasons for the lack of their successes or otherwise. This study therefore seeks to fill this gap by exploring the managerial issues surrounding alliance management in a developing country, Papua New Guinea. The study undertook an extensive literature review. The alliance case materials were reviewed based on three dominant perspectives that have contributed much to the discussion on alliance management: strategic management, network and relationship marketing. These perspectives were used to evaluate the case materials along four systems variables: organisational environment, organisational context, management culture, and management process. The study justified and utilised the use of phenomenology as its research paradigm along with the case study and soft systems method. These methods were found to be highly relevant for conducting exploratory research into strategic alliances because of the need to generate rich data and for such data to be interpreted within their context. The study found that alliance managers in countries such as PNG faced managerial challenges similar to those of their counterparts in developed countries. However, the similarity ends here. PNG alliance managers faced a myriad of challenges relating to the idiosyncratic business environment, which is highly volatile, plagued by resource deficiencies, and information void. The study demonstrated that governmental and socio-cultural factors predominate in the national and local environments. It found that resource deficiencies made alliances highly susceptible to misalignment in strategic intent and structure. It also found that alliance management skills in PNG were still at the embryonic stage with the exception of a small number of cases. It was also revealed that as part of the management process, PNG alliance managers extensively adopted coping strategies to manage their alliances. Finally, the study resulted in the development of a holistic approach to the study and management of strategic alliances.

Uncertain supply chain management, 2024

The main objective of this article is to provide a theoretical and conceptual framework encompassing concepts such as the supply chain, and supply chain performance. Furthermore, it aims to examine empirical research on the relationship between the perspectives of the Balanced Scorecard and supply chain performance. Finally, the article intends to present the findings and engage in discussions. To achieve this, a positivist epistemological approach was adopted, employing a quantitative methodology. A sample of 85 companies from the automotive industry in Morocco was selected for this study. After data collection, the structural equation method was employed using Smart PLS 3 software to test and confirm the hypotheses as well as the research model proposed. In conclusion, the results of this study highlight the positive impact of the four perspectives of the Balanced Scorecard on supply chain performance within automotive industry companies in the northern region of Morocco.
