FHM-Verlag Bielefeld, Ravensberger Str. 10 G, 33602 Bielefeld ISBN-Nr.: 978-3-937149-64-6 www.fh-mittelstand.de Introducing myself When I was a child, I had lots of cars, trains, ships and robot toys. I was so interested in playing, taking apart and fixing them. Besides this, while playing with my friends, I was the one who took over the role of the story teller of the game who told the others the content of the play and managed to give the others their role. When growing up, I chose Physics, Mathematics and Informatics as my major subjects at High School where I became the best pupil at class, school and local region. Afterwards, I chose to study Engineering in the field of Computer Hardware. The undergraduate program at Shahid Beheshti University (SBU) is a well-rounded program. It did not only help me to build a solid foundation of Computer Engineering fundamentals, but also helped me to develop an overall perspective of the vast field of Engineering. I have striven to perform well in all courses. My Bachelor thesis topic was “Designing an Intelligent Systems for Marketing of Oil Products for Iran Petrochemical Commercial Company” and I was interested in Neural Nets, Genetic Algorithms, Modelling and Simulation and I was interested in Industries and Energy so, I chose the numerical simulation of activity around a transportation system, Management, as my final thesis.

It could not have been more perfect for our Sports and Fun Day last week. As you will see from the Sports and Fun Day article inside, the Aqua Zorbing was a favourite, as were the field events and swimming races. Many of our learners were proudly showing off as many as 5 or 6 medals and some even more! But no show from Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, who had threatened to try to take the Egg and Spoon title from Frank! As usual the afternoon events were also a hit. It was great to see so many family members enthusiastically clapping along to the music, during our amazing fashion show and dance routines. Sophie, a lass who left us several years ago, came and was able to tell us that after successfully completing a catering course at Guildford College she has been offered a full time job at Millie’s Cookies in White Lion Walk, Guildford – a wonderful achievement. This week Dr. Jean Ware, Professor and Reader at Bangor University was with us all week, leading sessions for our staff, as well as colleagues from local schools. The sessions have included topics such as Life without Levels, Learner Voice and Research Lesson Study.

  • The Case of Red Bull
    Master Thesis Value creation by branding: the case of Red Bull Copenhagen Business School – 15th May 2018 International Marketing and Management Supervisor: Jonas Nielsen Stausholm – 107017 Peter Schrøder Jon Kjartan Kristinsson – 107553 Characters/pages: 271,459/119 Abstract Firms have to rethink what they see as their core competencies, as brand capital is becoming the main value creator in the 21st century, compared to physical capital in the 20th century. Red Bull is the world’s largest energy drink manufacturer, the brand as a resource, is the source of sustainable competitive advantage for Red Bull, a strong brand is the main factor of differentiation within the energy drink industry. The core identity of the Red Bull brand is to give wings to both people and ideas. The brand meaning is value based, making it possible to successfully extend the brand far beyond the core business. Since its foundation Red Bull has successfully diversified into several sport sub-industries - as for example eSports, football and Formula 1 - generating high brand awareness. Red Bull´s ownership strategy of sport teams, athletes and events, is significantly different from the strategy of their competitors, as well as other strong brands. Sport activities are guaranteed to create memorable experiences, and these experiences build and maintain Red Bull´s strong brand, a brand which has achieved a truly loyal base of consumers. These consumers exhibit both behavioural and attitudinal loyalty. Red Bull is perceived to be superior to its competitors, as well as being a premium brand, generating several essential benefits for Red Bull. The high degree of brand awareness, as well as the emotional attachment generated by associating the Red Bull brand with sport activities, supports the utilization of the brand as a resource which is the source of a sustainable competitive advantage for Red Bull.
