Because of its unique combination of cost and performance, DMMC is likely to be appropriate for applications in many manufacturing industries. Several all-terrain bicycle (ATB) applications are presently being commercialized. This thesis focuses on the policy Duralcan should follow to market DMMCs to the manufacturers of ATB applications. More specifically, the thesis identifies the combination of performance and price that Duralcan has to offer before DMMC is incorporated into designs for ATB frames, disc brake rotors, and wheel rims. -

URBANIZATION For the first time in human history, more people are living in cities than in the rural areas, and the rate of urbanization is increasing. In 1950, the world had just 2 “megacities” with populations in excess of 10 million. Today, there are at least 20. There are over 200 cities in China with a population over one million. The United Nations estimates that about 180,000 people are added to the urban population every day. By 2050, an estimated two-thirds of the world’s population will live in urban areas. 4.

How Does the Need for Post-Purchase Services Affect The
How Does the Need for Post-Purchase Services Affect the Digital Transformation of Value Systems? Student: A.J. Hartman Student Number: S2561646 Supervisor: T.L.J. Broekhuizen Co-assessor: P.J. Steinberg Date: 02 March 2020 Word Count: 13636 Abstract The impact of digitalisation on value systems has received much attention from business scholars. Nevertheless, little is known about how digitalisation transforms value systems for physical products that require post-purchase services (PPSs) like product commissioning and repair service. Such services are traditionally offered by physical dealers and may strengthen their position, thus affect the digital transformation of value systems. By conducting a case study in the Dutch bicycle market, this study sheds new light on how digital transformation of value systems is affected by PPSs. Findings show that when there is a sufficient need for PPSs, incumbent intermediaries can use PPS resources to protect themselves against disintermediation. Furthermore, findings contradict the prevailing view that digital transformation is a one-way process. Findings evidentially portrait the digital transformation of value systems as a dynamic process; the extent to which activities in value systems are digitized can increase and decrease. Moreover, findings show that a high need for PPSs offers a temporal protection against digital disruption. Keywords: Activity redistribution, digital disruption, digital transformation, (dis)intermediation, post- purchase services, value systems reconfiguration, vertical -

Travel Oregon provided oversight for the project and valuable review and recommendations throughout. In addition, several organizations provided valuable support of the data collection process, including the Bicycle Transportation Alliance, Oregon Bicycle Constructors Association, Oregon Bicycle Racing Association and the Portland Transportation Bureau. Our special thanks also goes out to the many shops, manufacturers and other members of the bicycle industry that provided the data necessary to complete the research. Summary Bicycling and the bicycle industry are iconic in Oregon, representing a unique aspect of the state’s identity and economy. Because many bicycle industry businesses are small, and government statistics include bicycle manufacturing and other businesses only as part of larger categories, specific industry information is limited. -
