Companies seeking to focus on what they define as their core business tend to outsource non-core activities to other companies that are specialists in those areas (OECD, 2004: 32). Apart from costs, this is motivated by considerations relating to management capacities, human resource and knowledge management and quality aspects. More recently, the re- location of work and the emergence of global value chains in more and more industries triggered a vivid debate on ‘offshore outsourcing’ in particular of service activities and high-skilled work (Huws, Flecker & Dahlmann, 2004; WTO, 2005; OECD, 2005). These processes of restructuring involve a decomposition and re-composition of sectors, compa- nies, workplaces and jobs. They obviously have far-reaching consequences for employ- ment levels, job security, work organisation and the quality of work life. The restructuring may also intensify the segmentation of labour markets and lead to a fragmentation of em- ployment both in the private and the public sector (Marchington, Grimshaw, Rubery & Willmott, 2005). Moreover, the growing complexity of governance and control of the new organisational relationships results in an increased instability, unpredictability, and inse- curity of power relationships at the level of the value chain or network, the organisation, the workplace and for the individual (Gereffi, Humphrey & Sturgeon, 2005; Huws, 2006). While subcontractors or supplier companies are often SMEs that are in a dependent posi- tion vis-à-vis their clients, it is also true that outsourcing is part of a structural shift in the economy that led to the emergence of large scale, global service provider and supplier companies (Flecker, 2007). The WORKS project aims to shed light on these issues by looking at the relationship be- tween changes taking place at the level of the European and global economy and changes taking place at the workplace level. To analyse this relationship the concept of the global value chain is used because it makes it possible to examine the interactions between the different levels. To investigate current restructuring processes, the concept is extended beyond manufacturing to cover the service and the public sectors. On this basis, the divi- sion of labour along value chains and changes in work flows were analysed that directly impact on employment relations and day-to-day work practices. Organisational case stud- ies were conducted to provide windows into the restructuring of value chains at strategic points to illuminate changes in the organisation of work within and between organisa- tions. The data capture the effects of restructuring by going beyond the boundaries of in- dividual companies and sectors. The WORKS project selected a range of business func- tions in particular sectors for investigation. A business function is defined as the ensemble of specific tasks or activities which contribute to the overall process of producing goods and services. Typical business functions include research and development, design, pro- duction, marketing, financial processing, customer services, logistics, human resource management, training and data processing. These are generic, in the sense that they apply 9 CHAPTER 1 across many different industries. The increasing standardisation of business processes ac- companying the introduction of information and communication technologies makes it easier to separate the performance of business functions into separate units and either re- locate them geographically or outsource them to another company or both (see WORKS Glossary). A central focus of the research was the impact that restructuring had

  • “Craft” Beer's Competitiveness in Bulgaria
    IZVESTIYA 2016 Vol. 60 Journal of Varna University of Economics №1 PRICE ASPECTS OF “CRAFT” BEER’S COMPETITIVENESS IN BULGARIA Yordan IVANOV1 JEL M30, M39 Abstract “Craft” beer is a special part of the “Wine production” class which attracts even more consumers in the last couple of years. The oppor- tunity for an informed choice of a product or service that satisfies specific needs of consumers shifts the focus from the low price to the product of high value for which it must be paid. The goal of this article is to empirically develop the determinants that influence the choice of “Craft” beer based on theoretically proven determinants of competitiveness of price. The scientific tasks can be summarized as: developing the determinants that form the value accepted and theoreti- cal motivation of its relation with price flexibility; theoretical motiva- tion of the relation between price flexibility and price competitive- Keywords: ness; empirical development of the key determinants of price competi- prices, value, rela- tiveness of the “Craft” beer in Bulgaria. In this paper there are used tionships, clients, the methods of analysis and synthesis, surveys through questionnaires, competitiveness. statistical methods, market research and others. Introduction At the onset of the second decade of XXI C there started a wave of developing new “micro” and “small” enterprises in class C.11.05 “Beer production”. Despite the competitive pressure from leaders in the branch they adapt successfully and establish themselves on the market by managing to attract more real clients. While looking for advantages, they are forced to offer their clients a unique product through which to justify its higher price.

  • A New Packaging for Zagorka
    Press release A new packaging for Zagorka Heineken entrusts P.E.T. Engineering the development of the new packaging for its Zagorka, the only "special" beer of Bulgaria. San Vendemiano, 07th May 2015 – Zagorka, part of the Heineken Group, is the heir of centuries of devotion to excellence of the big brewers, excellence to which was added a touch of originality that has enabled it to become the only "special "beer in Bulgaria. Zagorka is the beer of a less ordinary taste characterized by a distinctive bitterness and a rich aroma, the result of the perfect balance of two different types of hops: these characteristics make it particularly appreciated by young people between 20 and 30 years who love to experience all that life can offer. The brand therefore needed to associate a less ordinary taste to an equally distinctive packaging that would strengthen the shelf impact and allow to visually align the PET packaging of 1 and 2 liters to the smaller sizes of glass and aluminium. The new design of Zagorka, developed by the Design Center of P.E.T. Engineering, gives the brand a more distinctly masculine connotation through a robust shape and the inclusion of two majestic lions on the body of the bottle, a metaphor for the pride of the Bulgarian people and a reference to the nation in which this special beer is brewed. The labels located in the upper part of the container allow immediate recognition within a range of bottles that show large labels in the central part or thin ones in the lower one.

The main quality characteristics of beer are appearance, aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel. Important visual attributes of beer are foam appearance (volume and persistence), as well as the color and clarity. To replace manual inspection, automatic, objective, rapid and repeatable external quality inspection systems, such as computer vision, are becoming very important and necessary. Computer vision is a non-contact optical technique, suitable for the non-destructive evaluation of the food product quality. Currently, the main application of computer vision occurs in automated inspection and measurement, allowing manufacturers to keep control of product quality. This paper presents an overview of the applications and the latest achievements of the computer vision methods in determining the external quality attributes of beer. Keywords: beer; computer vision; image analysis; quality 1. Introduction Beer is one of the oldest (low) alcoholic beverages in the world and the third most widely-consumed drink (after water and tea).

The strategy of delivering profitable volume growth, which is a balance of price realisation, product/package mix management and cost management is strongly reflected in our results. Within our diverse and balanced portfolio of countries I should make specific reference to Nigeria, Russia and Ukraine where the benefits of the strategies outlined above are reflected in very strong results. I would also like to refer to the acquisitions of those parts of Russia which we did not previously own and the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, that were completed on 23 November 2001 and on 2 January 2002 respectively.

Several of these were made under exceptional circumstances and embody experiences such as do not often fall to the lot of a traveller, some of which, I venture to think, are of lasting public interest. Anyone who has had personal relations with an autocrat—in this case the spiritual head of a faith in which in the course of centuries thousands of millions of human beings have lived and died—ought to have much to tell worth recounting. There were also the surroundings of the Monarch to be observed. Many a trait of deep human interest presented itself to him who was a privileged visitor: for instance, the ups and downs of fortune as they affected the all- powerful favourite whose good offices-as in the time of a Madame de Pompadour—powerful Sovereigns did not think it beneath their dignity to strive and compete for.
