When do firms invest in offensive and/or defensive marketing?

Market conditions may lead firms to increase offensive marketing activities aimed at attracting new customers, and/or to enhance defensive relationship building intended to retain current customers. Characteristics of the marketing environment are examined, including firms' interest in technology adoption and perceived need to apply it to provide structure for the supply chain, product development, quality control, and social impact. Such indicators relate to the firm's perception of “competitive intensity” in the marketplace. Survey results from 196 manufacturing companies show that technology adoption propensity and competitive intensity are associated with greater investments in offensive marketing activities as well as customer and employee engagement.

Advertising in China and Hong Kong

A study of a selection of major US corporations was undertaken to determine how advertising budgets are appropriated. The relationship between profit and sales and the size of the advertising budget was examined to see if advertising allocations are being increasingly arrived at using ‘modern’ techniques such as mathematical decision rules or whether simple rules of thumb are still predominant in practice. Budget allocations for 80 companies to six media and their relations to sales and profit were also evaluated. Advertising budgets were examined in three matched categories: for brand advertising, for corporate advertising and for mixed advertising.     

HRM in Hong Kong since 1997

A diverse set of human resource management (HRM) practices became institutionalized during Hong Kong's industrialization from the 1950s through the 1970s within the context of an open economy, a government disinclined to intervene in business decisions or the labour market and a weak trade union movement. Economic restructuring, labour market changes and rising labour costs during the 1980s and 1990s pressured employers to find more effective ways of using their human resources. We focus on how the economic downturn following the Asian Financial Crisis has impacted on employment practices including employment security, compensation, skill formation, work reorganization and employment relations. We discuss changes in the public as well as private sector and argue that reforms in the former are loosening the rigidities of its highly structured internal labour market system. Public sector employment practices are thus likely to converge increasingly with the ‘best practices’ of private sector and overseas government HRM systems.
