  • Things Get Heated in the Kitchen: Sodexo Controversy Is Fueled by Moravian Students by Katie Makoski Reporter
    t he Volume CXXIV, Issue NumberCOMENIAN 6 Moravian College’s Student Newspaper Thursday, March 3, 2011 Things Get Heated in the Kitchen: Sodexo Controversy is Fueled by Moravian Students By Katie Makoski Reporter Recently, miscommunications among students and staff have led to much confusion and controversy surrounding Moravian’s dining services. The tension finally came to a boil on February 10, when junior Armando Chapelliquen and adjunct political science professor Faramarz Farbod hosted a formal discussion concerning the allegations that Sodexo, Moravian’s food supplier, is guilty of human rights violations. Immediately upon hearing this, Don, a worker in the Marketplace, avidly defended his boss. He asserted that in the thirty-five years that he has worked for Sodexo, he has never had a problem with the company. He further stated that if Moravian were to cut ties with Sodexo there would be a chance that he and some of his coworkers would lose their jobs. photo courtesy of www.seiu21la.org Members of the dining services staff attended the discussion in order to voice these concerns. Another cause for confusion was the petition expressing dissatisfaction with Moravian’s dining services that was signed by four hundred students last semester. The petition, which called for an end to mandatory meal plans for freshman and residents of certain dorms, more options for people with dietary restrictions, and more respect for the workers, was unrelated to the discussion. In fact, these issues are not the fault of the Sodexo Sodexo is the twenty-first largest corporation in the years and has pledged to continue to donate millions of Corporation—it is Moravian College that determines world, with 380,000 workers in eighty different countries.

  • Competitive Dynamics in the Online Video Streaming Industry
    STREAMING WARS: COMPETITIVE DYNAMICS IN THE ONLINE VIDEO STREAMING INDUSTRY Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics Master’s thesis 2020 Authors: Korhonen Aleksi & Rajala Janne International Business & Entrepreneurship Supervisor: Lamberg Juha-Antti ABSTRACT Authors Korhonen, Aleksi & Rajala, Janne Title of thesis Streaming Wars: Competitive Dynamics in the Online Video Streaming Industry Discipline Type of work International Business & Entrepreneurship Master’s thesis Time (month/year) Number of pages 06/2020 118+3 Abstract Digitalization and advances in technologies have changed the world in the past few dec- ades. This has affected consumer behaviour and developed new, more dynamic, indus- tries as well. As a result, competition is fiercer than ever, and competitive advantages are only temporary. This thesis builds on the literature of strategic management and compet- itive dynamics by exploring the competitive interaction of companies in the Subscription Video-on-Demand industry. We seek answers to how competitive advantages are pur- sued within the industry and how the strategic decisions of the companies differ from more traditional industries. To answer this, the press releases of several publicly listed U.S. based SVoD companies were collected and analysed through qualitative content analysis. After that, the connec- tions between the competitive actions were linked through event structure analysis to un- derstand how rivalry affects the companies within the industry. The results show that in contrast to traditional industries, competition in the growing SVoD industry revolves around content, which is enforced through resource building, co- creation, and to some extent, market expansion. The nature of competition is a defensive race to outperform others in the long run as big established companies are also entering the market.
