  • A Work Project, Presented As Part of the Requirements for the Award of a Master’S Degree In
    A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Master’s Degree in Management from Faculdade de Economia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Nova School of Business and Economics) HOW CAN PREMIUM AUTOMOTIVE BRANDS MAINTAIN THEIR STATUS, WHILE SHARING TECHNOLOGY WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE AUTO GROUPS? The case of Audi and the Volkswagen Automotive Group Tiago Filipe Correia Lourenço Fonseca Student number 29242 A Project carried out on the International Master’s in Management degree, with the supervision of: Professor Catherine da Silveira 04-01-2021 Abstract Automotive groups with large portfolios face growing branding challenges in the premium market. Currently, premium brands need to pursue digital innovation to maintain their status, but technology by itself does not lead to a higher positioning: other attributes like comfort, safety, material quality, and design are still valued. Based on the study of Audi and the Volkswagen Automotive Group, this Work Project demonstrates that autonomous driving, integrated smartphone connectivity, and media consumption applications are likely to increasingly act as differentiators in the future. Also, the identity of premium brands needs to remain strong to justify the consumers’ personal brand preferences. With the guidance of: Johan Van Langendonck. Henrique Monteiro Wadsworth. Thank you to all the interviewees who participated in the qualitative research used in this Work Project. Keywords: Premium Automotive Brands; Digital Innovation and Technology; Premium Status Attributes; Automotive Market Segmentation.

  • Autos for Africa? Possibilities and Pitfalls for an Automotive Industry in Africa
    Autos for Africa? Possibilities and Pitfalls for an Automotive Industry in Africa Thomas McLennan UniversitySupervisor: Professor of Cape Anthony BlackTown Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfilment of the Degree of MASTER OF COMMERCE in the School of Economics UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN January 2016 1 The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town Abstract Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has grown very rapidly over the last decade. Demand for light vehicles has rapidly increased in this period, albeit from a very low base. Growing demand is almost entirely supplied by the import of used vehicles from the developed world. This has led to an enormous automotive trade deficit in the region where, apart from South Africa, there is almost no domestic production. The dissertation establishes the trends and scale of automotive demand in SSA and then considers the question of whether and how the region can begin to meet this booming demand by developing its own industry. Despite limited industrialisation levels and relatively small domestic markets, some larger countries, such as Nigeria and Kenya, are putting policies in place to encourage domestic production. However, if countries follow individual national strategies it is unlikely that any will have sufficient market scale or investment levels to become sustainable automotive producers.

  • The Liminal Fantasy of Sport Utility Vehicle Advertisements
    The SUV Fantasy 1 Running Head: THE SUV FANTASY Living Above it All: The Liminal Fantasy of Sport Utility Vehicle Advertisements Richard K. Olsen, Jr., Ph.D. University of North Carolina at Wilmington 601 S. College Rd. Wilmington, NC 28403-5933 (910) 962-3710 Email: [email protected] Final Draft for inclusion in the edited volume Enviropop: Studies in Environmental Rhetoric and Popular Culture edited by Mark Meister and Phyllis Japp The SUV Fantasy 2 Living Above it All: The Liminal Fantasy of Sport Utility Vehicle Advertisements American popular culture offers a long history of celebrating modes of transportation. From the pony express through the various planes, trains and automobiles, each has captured the national imagination. Television and movies such as Route 66, Knight Rider and Smokey and the Bandit, among others, have made particular automobiles popular. This essay does not examine the popularity of a particular model of vehicle such as the Mustang, but rather an entire category of vehicles: The SUV. The sport utility vehicle has become a dominant vehicle on both the physical and cultural landscapes of America. The popularity of SUVs, and the way they have been portrayed in advertisements, reveals a cultural stance regarding the environment and speaks of what “wilderness” can mean in popular culture. In this chapter I briefly review the popularity of SUVs as well as some negative implications of that popularity. I then introduce the concepts of fantasy theme, dialectic and liminality, which will guide my analysis of SUV advertisements. Third, I offer analysis of the advertisements from the vantage point provided by these concepts to demonstrate that the fantasy operating in many SUV advertisements attempts to position the SUV as a purchasable and permanent resolution to the dialectics inherent in our relationship with the environment.

While those in Edmonton are aware of this initiative, many in our clan are not; hence this article. The initiative is called ‘No Stone Left Alone’. Started in 2010 by great friends of the Regiment, Maureen Bianchini- Purvis and her husband Randall, the aim of ‘No Stone Left Alone’ is to cause students to become aware of the actions and sacrifices of the members of the Canadian Armed Forces who have served and fought for Canada. By placing a poppy at the headstone of our war dead and veterans, it is hoped that the students will reflect on what these Canadians have done to serve Canada.
