Bringing gourmet coffee to India: lessons of an Italian firm in an emerging market

Bernardo Bertoldi; Chiara Giachino; Silvio Marenco

Purpose: – The increasing importance of branding has been highlighted by many authors and there is a general absence of a clearly defined approach taken by companies to penetrate emerging markets with their brands, especially with reference to the Indian market. This paper aims to investigate brand strategies implemented by food and beverage firms going international and, in particular, to determine how to build the brand strategy on entering emerging markets through acquisitions.Design/methodology/approach – The authors had the opportunity to follow the operation conducted by the Lavazza Company in India for three years (2007‐2010), although the majority of the interviews were done in the first two years of the research. The research focused on the brand strategy for the specific case of the Lavazza Company by using a qualitative approach based on interviews with the Lavazza Management. The first session of interviews was carried out during 2007‐2008 with two objectives: to understand the Lavazza Company...

Bernardo Bertoldi; Chiara Giachino; Stefano Bernard; Virginia Prudenza

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to investigate the cross-border acquisition’s process through the Fiat-Chrysler case. Many automotive companies have considered cross-border mergers and acquisition (M & A) as a necessary step to face increasing competition and globalization, but only few of them were successful. In particular, some best practices in terms of lessons-learned are highlighted. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on the analysis of a cross-border acquisition: the qualitative approach allows authors to better understand all the dynamics, complexities and problems that characterize companies facing this process (Yin, 1984). Authors used public information, Internet sources and Fiat’s documents to gather all the necessary information. Findings – In a cross-border acquisition, compatibility and complementarity of products and markets are fundamentals, whereas unmanaged cultural differences, as well as misunderstanding of the real motivations, are a slow but deadly poison: integrati...

CSR in Small and Medium Companies and Stakeholder’s Relationships

Piergiorgio Re; Chiara Giachino

Through the stakeholder theory perspective, this paper goes in depth in understanding the important role of family intentions in building relationships with multiple kinds of stakeholders. In literature, the different approach of family and non-family businesses towards social and environmental issues has been extensively discussed without reaching a commonly accepted conclusion. A family business context is more favourable for proactive stakeholder engagement because the owner can take decisions without worrying too much about the economic outcome. Moreover, the long-term orientation of family businesses is an element that can reinforce the role of corporate social responsibility and its link with local stakeholders, without need for formal and structured processes, above all in SMEs.

The role of a knowledge leader in a changing organizational environment. A conceptual framework drawn by an analysis of four large companies

Bernardo Bertoldi; Chiara Giachino; Camillo Rossotto; Nathalie Bitbol-Saba

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of knowledge leader readiness within large companies operating in a changing environment. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual framework emerged from an analysis of four large companies and a review of the knowledge management literature. Secondary research was conducted to compare the four large companies against the proposed framework. Findings The conceptual model is a support to understand an organizations’ reaction to external changes and the role of the knowledge leader’s readiness in managing these changes and adjusting the knowledge management accordingly. From the analysis, it emerged that a knowledge leader’s readiness plays a relevant role in a changing organizational environment owing to his ability to acquire, handle and diffuse knowledge within the company. Practical implications The study emphasizes the significance of internal knowledge in managing changes. Practitioners could use this framework as a conceptual guide for their daily challenges and to recruit future leaders. Originality/value This study aims to contribute to the knowledge management literature by providing a practical model for organizations facing a changing environment. The originality of the model is the design of different managerial profiles that combine the leaders’ disposition to knowledge and their ability to drive change.

Strategic pricing management in the omnichannel era

Bernardo Bertoldi; Chiara Giachino; Alberto Pastore

The omnichannel era is arriving faster than expected and some of its players are disrupting the fashion industry. Although there is in the hands of managers an incredible richness of data and a huge computing power, the literature has not developed models to approach the new pricing environment. The present models are rigid, based on historical data and focused on internal variables, moreover almost no one has been applied in the real word by real decision making managers. In this article, we applied a flexible, forward looking and fuzzy based model with real management decisions attached and we proved that, leveraging technology, strategic pricing management is a (the) key marketing variable in the omnichannel world to manage demand.

Analisi delle performance delle aziende familiari e non familiari nel settore manifatturiero Piemontese

Piergiorgio Re; Fabrizio Mosca; Bernardo Bertoldi; Chiara Giachino; Margherita Stupino

Obiettivi . L’articolo si propone di verificare se le imprese familiari che operano nel settore manifatturiero piemontese performano meglio di quelle non familiari in termini di fatturato e redditivita. Metodologia . Per studiare e capire le performance del settore manifatturiero e stato costruito un campione di 2000 aziende piemontesi (1396 familiari e 604 non familiari). Da queste sono poi state successivamente analizzate solo le aziende appartenenti al settore manifatturiero (383 familiari e 126 non familiari). Per l’analisi quantitativa dei dati, sono stati utilizzati indicatori economici utili a valutare le performance di tali imprese, familiari e non familiari, che operano in diversi settori (campione complessivo piemontese) e successivamente i risultati ottenuti sono stati confrontati con quelli delle aziende appartenenti al settore manifatturiero. Risultati . L’analisi quantitativa dei dati ha messo in evidenza un trend simile fatto registrare dalle aziende familiari e non familiari piemontesi e quello delle aziende familiari e non familiari appartenenti al settore manifatturiero piemontese. In entrambi i campioni le aziende non familiari sono piu grandi (per fatturato e numero medio di dipendenti), ma in valori assoluti il ROI, ROE e ROS fanno registrare performance migliori nelle aziende familiari. Le aziende familiari, inoltre, nell’ultimo anno disponibile, 2012, hanno fatto registrare una ripresa migliore rispetto alle aziende non familiari. Limiti della ricerca . Uno spunto per future ricerche riguarda la possibilita di ampliare l’analisi quantitativa a un numero piu elevato d’imprese estendendo l’analisi a un campione rappresentativo di tutta l’Italia. Implicazioni pratiche . I risultati ottenuti da questa ricerca contribuiscono ad ampliare le conoscenze pratiche in materia di performance nelle aziende familiari del settore manifatturiero, infatti non sono presenti molti studi di analisi quantitative che analizzino il rapporto settore manifatturiero/imprese familiari. Originalita del lavoro . Il settore manifatturiero rappresenta un importante punto di forza del nostro paese; la ricerca vuole mettere in evidenza la reazione alla crisi economica delle imprese familiari piemontesi che operano in tale settore, mettendo in luce eventuali differenze tra le logiche che guidano le aziende familiari e quelle che guidano le aziende non familiari.

La gestione dell'innovazione nelle aziende familiari: il caso F.lli Saclà

Piergiorgio Re; Chiara Giachino; Margherita Stupino

Obiettivi . L’articolo si propone di analizzare la gestione dell’innovazione nelle aziende familiari per valutare come questo elemento influisca sull’intero processo innovativo. Metodologia . Per studiare e capire il processo di innovazione abbiamo preso come riferimento le aziende familiari, aziende che spesso fanno dell’elemento famiglia il loro punto di forza. Pertanto, dall’analisi qualitativa di un caso studio italiano, abbiamo identificato i fattori piu importanti che guidano l’innovazione nelle aziende familiari e come questi interagiscono con i valori familiari. Risultati . Il modello conclusivo descrive quindi come la gestione dell’innovazione all’interno delle aziende familiari sia caratterizzata da un doppio processo - un “processo familiare” e un “processo strutturato”- che favorisce l’ideazione di nuovi prodotti/servizi in linea con la tradizione aziendale e familiare, assicurandone quindi il successo nel tempo. Limiti della ricerca . Uno spunto per future ricerche riguarda la possibilita di ampliare l’analisi ad un numero piu elevato di imprese familiari anche di settori differenti. Inoltre si potrebbe provare ad applicare il modello ad altre tipologie di aziende per vedere eventuali limiti e differenze. Implicazioni pratiche . I risultati ottenuti da questa ricerca contribuiscono ad ampliare le conoscenze teoriche e pratiche in materia di innovazione nelle aziende familiari, infatti non sono presenti molti studi che descrivono casi studio reali. Originalita del lavoro . L’innovazione, fondamentale per la continuita di un’impresa familiare, sara garantita nel tempo grazie ad una vera e propria struttura di ricerca e sviluppo oppure grazie ai lampi di genio di un imprenditore?
