Abstract

The article examines how the waste industry is helping to minimize auto industry waste. Waste companies do not necessarily fuel automobile industry of the U.S., but by becoming specialists to automotive companies, they have been reaping rewards while helping the auto makers to refocus attention on vehicle production -- not waste. To more effectively manage these materials, the automotive industry has turned to total waste management (TWM), which is outsourcing waste management. TWM was implemented around the mid-1990s and has since become a standard in most GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler manufacturing and other facilities. Prior to TWM, auto makers typically had little time to focus on waste management. Meanwhile, waste companies did not have an incentive to reduce waste or meet manufacturer waste goals. TWM works by centralizing all waste management with one supplier. By sharing management resources, even small facilities benefit from TWM programs through the implementation of common practices and efficiencies. While TWM is effective, remaining competitive and continually offering cost savings to customers can be challenging. The partnerships between the U.S. auto makers and their TWM suppliers have been successful not only in cost savings but also in earning the companies governmental and environmental awards.

Abstract

Sustainability has evolved into one of the key topics for organizations and organizational researchers alike. To meet changing societal demands, organizations have to adapt their long-term strategies and incorporate environmental and social aspects into their product offerings and decision-making. However, at the same time companies must satisfy short-term profitability interests and demands from shareholders. An organization's sustainability commitment, strategy, or view is impacted by several influential factors, e.g., by the top management commitment or stakeholder integration. These factors have largely been studied individually without linking them. As such, the following study aims at creating a holistic view and framework for organizational influences and on sustainability. The framework is validated by a comparison to industrial practice in interviews with sustainability managers from the chemical and automobile industry, which are both highly relevant in the context of sustainability. Interview results suggest that the identified influential factors attributed to the four framework layers organization, top management, project team and project are relevant for industrial representatives. The view on and impact of specific influential factors can vary between companies and industries. The study further gives insights into the actual status and future direction of the management of corporate sustainability (CS) in practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study investigates the mediation effect of motivation (MO) between internal marketing (IM) and service innovation (SI) using a hierarchical model. It adopts Bahman Group Corp of the automobile industry in Iran as a case study. This paper aims to examine the effect of internal marketing (IM) on service innovation (SI) by the mediation effect of motivation (MO). It develops a theoretical hierarchical multi-component model and analyses through a two-step approach of higher-order model by using PLS on 171 clean data. This research uses a survey method to collect data from the employees of Bahman Group Corp. The results indicate that motivation (MO) has a partial mediation effect between internal marketing (IM) and service innovation (SI). This study illustrates that internal communication (IC) and a New Organizational Delivery system (NOD) have the most substantial effect on internal marketing (IM) and service innovation (SI). Moreover, this research highlights to the service-based organisation to pay more attention to enhance internal marketing dimensions, especially in terms of service innovation to improve competitiveness. The results recommend further studies to examine the correlation between each indicator. The findings conclude with two main contributions and managerial implication to the research area that impactful to the subject of study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

How inefficient is brand advertising in the German car industry and what are the determinants of advertising inefficiency? In a first step, the brand advertising efficiency of 35 car brands in the German car industry is measured. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is applied to a multiple input-output model of advertising. The analysis reveals that, on average, 8% of a brand's advertising budget is wasted. In a second step, a model identifying the determinants of brand advertising inefficiency is developed and tested empirically. The results indicate that advertising efficiency is positively related to purchase event feedback and the size of the brand product portfolio. The implications and possible areas of future research are discussed., In 2003, the automobile industry spent $21.4 billion on media advertising. It has repeatedly been suggested that companies overadvertise (e.g., Aaker and Carman 1982) and that advertising efficiency is low. [...]
