TL;DR: In this article, the optimal product line decision of an entrant firm under monopolistic competitive markets is examined and a heuristic has been presented for solving the resulting mixed integer non-linear programming problem.
Abstract: Existing research on product line optimisation have focused mainly on designing a product line based on the trade-offs between sellers’ and buyers’ utility, without any explicit consideration of the underlying market structure. A few studies can be found that consider the monopolists’ optimal product line offering. In this study, we examine the optimal product line decision of an entrant firm under monopolistic competitive markets. Specifically, we develop a mathematical programming formulation of an entrant firm’s problem of deciding on the market segments to enter and the corresponding product designs to offer, to maximise its profit. A heuristic has been presented for solving the resulting mixed integer non-linear programming problem. The specifications of the problem increase exponentially with the size of the problem and as such, commercial solvers are not useful for solving a generalised instance. A small example has been presented and solved using both the heuristic and the ILOG CPLEX 10.2. Both re...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored how different dimensions of service quality influence customers' behavioural intentions in class and mass banking and the implications for public and consumer policy and revealed that financial consumer policy must build security and trust in public administration and that the concept of quality must visualize public agencies as catalysts of a responsible and active civic society.
Abstract: The financial sector reforms in India advocated globalization, deregulation and the liberalisation of entry norms to permit new banks in the private sector. This has increased competitive pressures on the state-owned public sector banks which concurrently have to fulfill their social obligations towards the financial development of the economy and citizens. This study explores how different dimensions of service quality influence customers’ behavioural intentions in class and mass banking and the implications for public and consumer policy. A contextually modified SERVQUAL instrument along with multiple regression and in-depth interviews were used. The study reveals that financial consumer policy must build security and trust in public administration and that the concept of quality must visualize public agencies as catalysts of a responsible and active civic society.

TL;DR: The authors showed that the influence of corporate diversification on firm performance is greater for affiliated service firms than affiliated manufacturing firms, and that the impact of size and diversity on diversification-firm performance relationship varies significantly depending on whether the focal firm belongs to the manufacturing or service sector.
Abstract: Prior business group (BG) studies implicitly assume that corporate diversification-firm performance relationships are uniform across industry sectors. This generalization may lead to research implications that are not equally true for BG-affiliated manufacturing and service firms. Drawing on strategy and marketing literature, this research addresses this scholarly gap. Our empirical analysis of a large sample of BG-affiliated Indian firms over a five-year period (2004-2008) indicates that the influence of corporate diversification on firm performance is greater for affiliated service firms than affiliated manufacturing firms. Results also indicate that the influence of BG size and diversity on diversification-firm performance relationship varies significantly depending on whether the focal firm belongs to the manufacturing or service sector. Firm's share ownership does not generate similar influence. Copyright © 2015 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Resume Les etudes anterieures sur les groupes d'entreprises (BG) presupposent de facon implicite que d'un secteur industriel a l'autre, les relations entre le rendement de l'entreprise et la diversification des societes sont uniformes. Cette generalisation debouche sur des implications qui ne s'appliquent guere aux entreprises de services et de fabrication affiliees aux BG. Le present article s'appuie sur les travaux en strategie et en marketing pour combler cette lacune. L'analyse empirique d'un grand echantillon d'entreprises indiennes affiliees aux BG pendant cinq ans (2004-2008) indique que l'influence de la diversification des societes sur le rendement est plus grande pour les entreprises de services affiliees et moins grande pour les entreprises de fabrication affiliees. Les resultats montrent aussi que l'influence de la taille et de la diversite des BG sur les relations entre la diversification et la performance de l'entreprise varie considerablement selon que l'entreprise centrale appartient au secteur de la fabrication ou a celui des services. La propriete partagee de l'entreprise n'exerce pas la meme influence. Copyright © 2015 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TL;DR: This paper model VSP as a two sided platform, identify conditions under which an advertiser would prefer skippable ads over non-skippable ones, and derive the optimality conditions for VSP’s optimal ad mix, which reveals the existence of an upper bound on number of non-Skipper ads.
