Mestrado em Gestão

A EasyHotel é uma empresa pertencente ao grupo EasyJet que actualmente não detém actividade em Lisboa, sendo que permite a criação de um franchising nesta área geográfica. Assim, considerei este facto uma oportunidade de negócio, daí o desenvolvimento de um plano de negócios. O presente trabalho tem como principal finalidade verificar a viabilidade financeira de um EasyHotel em Lisboa, caracterizar a filosofia low cost para um negócio hoteleiro, contribuir para um estudo exaustivo do sector hoteleiro em Lisboa para uma envolvente mediata e imediata, criar um documento apresentável a futuros parceiros e por último criar uma ferramenta que possibilite obter dados financeiros alterando indicadores chave, nomeadamente o dimensionamento e a política de preços. Esta ferramenta encontra-se realizada em Excel, sendo parte integrante desta Tese. A nível metodológico, salienta-se a importância do estudo realizado à procura e à oferta, que permite desde logo, criar um entusiasmo com este sector. Entre outros aspectos, salienta-se que em Lisboa os proveitos do sector hoteleiro ascendem a 420 milhões de euros tendo proporcionado mais de 6 milhões de dormidas1. Outro fenómeno que se salienta foi o “dynamic packaging”, trata-se da conjunção electrónica de diversos produtos turísticos provenientes de diferentes fornecedores, nos EUA, onde existem estudos, este fenómeno já representa 20% das vendas de turismo, sendo expectável que não seja diferente na Europa, isto para dizer que o EasyHotel terá as suas vendas 100% online. A nível operacional do negócio, considerou-se este viável economicamente e recomenda-se o investimento, face a conjuntura actual pensa-se que é um excelente resultado.

This work has as main objective to verify the financial viability of an EasyHotel in London, to characterize the low-cost philosophy to a hotel business, contributing to acomprehensive study of the hospitality industry in London for a mediate and immediatesurroundings, creating a document presentable to future partners and ultimately create atool that allows you to get financial data by changing the key indicators, including sizingand pricing. This tool is held in Excel, being part of this thesis. The EasyHotel is a member company EasyJet currently has no activity in Lisbon, which allows the creation of a franchise in this geographical area. So, I considered this a business opportunity, hence the development of a business plan. . Methodologically, we stress the importance of the study the demand and supply, which allows the outset, creating an enthusiasm for this sector. Among other things, it is noted that in London the hotel sector's income amounted to EUR 420 million as it offered more than 6 million overnight stays. Another phenomenon that standsvout was the "dynamic packaging",vit is the conjunctionof several electronic tourism products from different suppliers in the U.S., where there are studies, this phenomenon represents 20% of sales from tourism is expected that not different in Europe, that to say that their sales…

▼ The low-income housing situation in Bangkok, Thailand, is similar to that faced in many developing cities throughout the world. The housing opportunities afforded to residents classed as low-income dwellers, are minimal, unsuitable and inconsiderate of their complex social, cultural and spiritual requirements, often leading to the formation of slums, and squatter settlements. The close proximity of living experienced in informal settlements results in a community-focused style of living, where neighbours rely on each other to survive. This is translated not only into the social fabric of the informal settlement, but also into the architectural style of these vernacular communities. The process of helping construct your neighbour's home, builds social and cultural ties; these traits are often lost when outside parties attempt to ‘improve’ the low-income living situation. The idea of housing design as a process not just a product, also referred to as ‘cooked’ architecture, is widely promoted through the writings, research and design methodologies focused towards low-income housing endeavors (Rapoport, 1988; Sinha, 2012; Yap, 1990). Despite this, effective involvement of residents in developing and building their own homes is something rarely practiced or achieved within architecture, yet the benefits of including residents, who are the focus of a complex social and architectural situation, in the design process seems clear. There is little question that communities that work through this process become stronger, both socially and economically, however, the quality of housing and architectural output is still at a very low level, despite obvious improvements from the previous low-cost conditions. To address this, an architectural outcome has been developed utilizing a critical design approach. The implementation of ethnographic and participatory design research, as well as multiple design iterations, based on current and traditional modes, has resulted in an architecture that is culturally responsive, impacts the existing context lightly, and primarily provides a positive social scenario to encourage community betterment through collective construction and living.

▼ One of the most challenging and wide-spread global humanitarian issues is an insufficient access to safe drinking water. While the use of geophysics can improve drilling success rates for safe drinking water as well as provide information about aquifer structure, geophysical surveys themselves can be prohibitively expensive. The recent development of low-cost computer microcontrollers and the widespread availability of cheap electronics components raise the possibility of developing and using do-it-yourself (DIY) low-cost geophysical instrumentation with open-source designs and software solutions to avoid costly geophysical instrumentation. An existing design of a low-cost DC resistivity meter system was altered to improve the reliability and operability. A Raspberry Pi-based data-logging system was developed to improve the functionality and usability of the system, as well as the integrity of the acquired data. Numerical modeling and physical tests at Colorado School of Mines (CSM) demonstrate that the system is more robust than previously published low-cost designs and works in a diverse range of geological environments. The low-cost DC resistivity instrument was used in a Geoscientists Without Borders (GWB) project jointly run between researchers from CSM and Université d'Abomey-Calavi (UAC), Cotonou, Benin. The GWB project involved instructing UAC students in the basics of hydrogeophysical surveying including the use of the DC resistivity method, the construction and validation of two low-cost DC resistivity meters, and the subsequent use of the instruments in fieldwork aimed at better characterizing a local aquifer used as a potable groundwater source for communities in the Cotonou region. The low-cost instrument was successfully used alongside a commercial resistivity meter to acquire a dataset imaging a 2D section in the Ouédo pumping field. An analysis of the redesigned instrument shows that the cost is a fraction of the price of a commercial resistivity meter without a significant impact on data quality. Future design improvements are outlined to expand capabilities for multichannel and time-lapse surveying. Advisors/Committee Members: Shragge, Jeffrey (advisor), Krahenbuhl, Richard A.

▼ This dissertation examines the consequences of the Korean Airline Deregulation Act of May 2008. I propose an empirical methodology for analyzing demand and supply in differentiated product markets that measures welfare effects due to the entry of Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) from two perspectives: pre- and post-deregulation. I have built a panel of airline carrier level data for each of the seven domestic non-stop routes from June 2006 to October 2010 to investigate whether the deregulation policy is desirable for increasing the net welfare gains to air passengers, and for promoting competition among airline carriers. Chapter 1 explains the implementation and effects of the Act change on the Korean airline industry. The Act removed restrictions imposed on both aircraft size and aircraft age for the non-scheduled air service carriers so that all LCCs were able to operate jet aircraft which had more than 100 seats per airplane. Since May 2008, the competition, long dominated by two legacy carriers, Korean Air (KAL) and Asiana Air (AAR), has intensified as emerging LCCs have began offering lower air fares. Chapter 2 outlines the empirical framework of the nested logit model and applies it to two categories of city pair routes in Korea: five Jeju island routes and two inland routes. A priori there are expectations of differences in both types of travelers and in alternatives to air transportation, thus differences in air travel demand sensitivity to price and non-price factors, such as frequent flights and aircraft size. In this chapter, I find evidence of a common sensitivity to price across the Jeju island routes and the inland routes and route-specific response to flight characteristics. Thus, I propose a joint constrained model in terms of price sensitivity where the parameter for price variable is constrained to be the same across all seven routes, but the flight characteristics should be permitted to have route-specific effects. Frequent flights, larger aircraft, evenly distributed flight schedules on peak-demand hours (lunchtime for some routes), and shorter airtime duration generate a higher utility for air passengers. Chapter 3 models the supply side and legacy carriers' strategic responses to the emergence of LCCs. The two legacy carriers established their own subsidiary LCCs (dependent LCCs). KAL entered some routes with its subsidiary LCC, JNA, while AAR rebadged to ABL, its subsidiary LCC, replacing their prior service. Chapter 4 integrates the demand- and supply-side in order to derive average price elasticities for air travel demand, implied marginal costs and Lerner indices for each carrier's flights. Price-cost markups are recovered after the demand parameters are first obtained and then inserted in the pricing equation. The estimated results for a dominant airline carrier on some inland routes are inconsistent with the static profit maximization assumption, having inelastic demand elasticities and negative marginal costs. Chapter 5 contributes to the literature on the spatial competition of the airline… Advisors/Committee Members: Masson, Robert Tempest (chair), Jakubson, George Hersh (committee member), Abowd, John Maron (committee member), Prince, Jeffrey T.

Masters Research - Master of Philosophy (MPhil)

More than 90% of municipal solid waste (MSW) in developing countries is disposed of in landfills. In Bhutan, about 90% of solid waste is disposed of in landfills. One of the significant problems associated with landfills is the generation of leachate. Landfill leachates are highly contaminated waste waters containing high concentrations of organic matter (OM) measured as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia, halogenated hydrocarbons and trace elements. The direct release of leachate into the environment may pose potential risks and hazards to public health and ecosystems. As a result, cost effective and environmentally acceptable treatments of leachate are sought. This research aims to examine leachate characteristics and two low cost passive treatment options. The characteristics of a typical leachate generated at a modern sanitary landfill were investigated by analysis of long-term monitoring data collected at Summerhill Waste Management Centre (SWMC), Newcastle, NSW. Leachate production from the SWMC landfill was clearly related to rainfall events at the landfill site. Rainfall has a direct impact on the volume of leachate produced and consequently on its chemical characteristics. Thus, leachate treatment systems must have provisions for the variation in concentrations. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the suitability of two low cost passive leachate treatment options, which are viable and suitable for adoption in Bhutan. Two laboratory bench scale experiments were undertaken. The first experiment involved surface aeration of raw leachate over a period of 20 days, while the second investigated the treatment performance of three low cost filter media (Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), Blast Furnace Slag (BFS) and sand) by examining their sorption efficiencies in a series of column experiments. Leachate samples were collected from the landfill at SWMC. The results of the research showed that a medium strength landfill leachate can be treated by both methods to reduce the concentrations of certain parameters. Aerobic treatment enhanced the leachate quality mainly through removal of ammonia and OM (>95%). It resulted in significant pollutant reductions as opposed to no aeration, which resulted in anoxic conditions. Column experiments provided leachate treatment essentially by lowering soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentration. BFS and GAC have performed comparatively better with P-removal efficiencies of 92% and 67%, respectively, than sand (40%) in the laboratory work undertaken. Finally, the research results also suggested landfills in Bhutan do not have appropriate leachate and gas collection facilities. Due to a lack of proper waste segregation, the leachates produced in landfills could be chemically complex. Composting is suggested as a sustainable alternative for SWM in Bhutan to reduce the 50-60% of organic waste disposed of in the landfills if leachate collection and treatment cannot be afforded.

D.Litt. et Phil.

The Western Cape and the UniCity of Cape Town are the only remaining province and metropolitan municipality that have not been won by the ANC since the advent of democratic elections in 1994. The ANC won the Cape Town substructure, one out of six former sub-councils of the Cape Metropolitan Area (CMA) in the 1996. It is the Cape Metropolitan Municipality (i.e. former CMA) which is referred to as the UniCity of Cape Town in this research. The first and only time the ANC controlled the UniCity of Cape Town was between 2002 and 2006. This was as a result of the floor-crossing and the coalition between the NNP and ANC in 2002. The Western Cape is also the only province in which the NNP, DA1, ANC and the DA2 have alternated between 1994 and 2008. These two factors make the Western Cape and the UniCity of Cape Town the most hotly contested areas in South Africa. This political competition has led to accusations and counter-accusations among political parties that parties that have governed the Western Cape and the UniCity of Cape Town have used the allocation of housing services with the intention of achieving personal or party-political interests. The objective of this research has been to apply a combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate whether there is evidence to suggest that those political parties that governed the Western Cape and the UniCity of Cape Town between 1994 and 2008 have used the allocation of housing services to further party-political interests. The two leading questions were whether the political parties that governed the UniCity of Cape Town between 1994 and 2008 skewed the allocation of low-cost housing in favour of their supporters, and, if so, how political-party affiliation has affected the access to the housing services of voters in the Western Cape and the UniCity of Cape Town. The methodology used by the researcher is mainly a combination of the analysis of all available electronic and printed material and extensive interviews with the residents of Joe Slovo and Delft areas. In-depth interviews have also been conducted with leaders of community-based organisations, unions, academics and leaders of political parties. The analysis shows that all political parties that governed the Western Cape and the UniCity of Cape Town between 1994 and 2008 have deliberately targeted those suburbs in which their supporters are in the majority and in which the supporters of their rival parties are in the minority. The analysis in this research also shows that affiliation to political party has affected respondents’ access to housing services. The main recommendation is that political parties should be encouraged not to use party affiliation to determine who get goods/services provided by government in a democratic society.

▼ In Sub-Saharan Africa, 80-90% of all infectious diseases are water borne. Governments in these countries spend a significant proportion of their budgets importing alum and chlorine from western nations for municipal water treatment. More than 1.2 million people lack safe drinking water in developing countries. Apart from high cost of treating water in sub-Saharan Africa, waterborne microorganisms are developing resistance to currently used disinfectants such as chlorine. To meet the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG) of providing safe drinking water, alternative and complimentary approaches such as the application of Moringa oleifera plant materials and sand filters are being studied. Previous research regarding the application of Moringa oleifera (MO) seeds have focused on the isolation of bioactive coagulant ingredients for more than four decades, with little attention directed toward field application in small and large scale water treatment applications. Slow sand filters take more than two weeks to generate clean water but there have been few studies directed towards integrating Moringa oleifera and other plant disinfectants with sand filters to generate clean water in a relatively short retention times at faster flow rates, generating a more compact filter unit. This research sought to fill this knowledge gap. Quantitative research techniques were applied to test a Moringa-sand filter column for its disinfection activity on separate synthetic contaminated water containing E. coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, total heterotrophic soil bacteria and fungi. The constructed Moringa-sand filter column was analyzed for its coagulant activity using synthetic turbid water made from bentonite and soil. Further research into documentation of indigenous knowledge and the use of indigenous medicinal plants in Cameroon with a history of use in purifying water was carried out at both the Phytobiotechnology Research Laboratories in Bamenda, Cameroon and the Microalgae Research Laboratory of the School of Chemical Engineering, Adelaide University. The coagulant and disinfection ability of the plants using surface contaminated water was carried out at the Phytobiotechnology Research Laboratories in Cameroon, followed by in-vitro antimicrobial activity of the organic extracts using microbial isolates from stream water in Bamenda, Cameroon. The coagulant and disinfection potential of Moringa oleifera seed extracts were superior to other plant materials. To this effect, further studies on Moringa oleifera seeds were planned and executed at the Microagae Laboratory, School of Chemical Engineering, Adelaide University. Extracts of Moringa seed powder using solvents of varying polarity revealed more than 85% in-vitro antibacterial activity against E. coli (ATCC11775) strain (indicator of faecal contamination of water) and 95% against Aeromonas hydrophila strain (known to resist chlorination) compared to control of both organisms of 65% for aluminum sulphate and 80% for sodium hypochlorite.

▼ Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the most representative, rapidly growing, and highly extendable technologies, which uses electromagnetic waves in accordance with specific communications standards and regulations to identify, track, or even localise desired objects. However, due to its high cost, limited read range, and uncertain reliability, its adoption still lags, especially in large-scale organisations. Even though an RFID distributed antenna system (DAS) can greatly improve the detection range and read rate of a single reader when system uses different combinations of antenna states with frequency and phase hopping, the lossy and heavy coaxial cables between reader and antennas still limits the system coverage and design flexibility for wide-area passive UHF RFID applications. In order to develop a cost-efficient and flexibly-installed passive RFID DAS, a novel large-range passive UHF RFID system over twisted-pair cable is proposed in this dissertation. This new system consists of one baseband central controller and one antenna subsystem, connected by a commonly used twisted-pair cable. It is shown that transmitting/receiving low frequency baseband signals over a twisted-pair cable can significantly reduce cable attenuation and extend the communication distance. A simulation is conducted to demonstrate that frequency and phase hopping can also be remotely controlled to fit this system structure by slightly varying the frequency or phase of the input reference signal of the frequency synthesis system. The features of twisted-pair cable in terms of its low cost, light weight, and bend radius greatly improve the design and installation flexibility of an RFID system. The implemented system is designed based on the ISO 18000-6C and EPC Class 1 Generation 2 standards, and can operate according to FCC (902-928 MHz) and ETSI (865-868MHz) regulations. The results of the measurement show the reader can achieve a sensitivity of - 94.5 dBm over 30 m Cat5e cable, and its sensitivity can still remain at around -94.2 dBm over 150 m Cat5e cable. The experimental results of tag detection show that the passive tags can be successfully detected over a 6 m wireless range following a 300 m of twisted-pair cable between the central controller and antenna. This detection range cannot be achieved by existing commercial RFID systems. Since the transmission and reception in a RFID system are simultaneous, finite isolation of the circulator/directional coupler and environmentally dependent reflection ratio of the antenna lead to serious leakage problems. Leakage can directly cause sensitivity degradation due to saturation of the RF components. A fast leakage suppression block is developed in efforts to solve this problem. Measurements show that this new canceller can deliver an average suppression of 36.9 dB, and this excellent performance remains when the system uses frequency hopping. With help of an improved scanning algorithm, this canceller can find its optimal status within 38 ms, and this settling time is short…

A simulation is conducted to demonstrate that frequency and phase hopping can also be remotely controlled to fit this system structure by slightly varying the frequency or phase of the input reference signal of the frequency synthesis system. The features of twisted-pair cable in terms of its low cost, light weight, and bend radius greatly improve the design and installation flexibility of an RFID system. The implemented system is designed based on the ISO 18000-6C and EPC Class 1 Generation 2 standards, and can operate according to FCC (902-928 MHz) and ETSI (865-868MHz) regulations. The results of the measurement show the reader can achieve a sensitivity of - 94.5 dBm over 30 m Cat5e cable, and its sensitivity can still remain at around -94.2 dBm over 150 m Cat5e cable. The experimental results of tag detection show that the passive tags can be successfully detected over a 6 m wireless range following a 300 m of twisted-pair cable between the central controller and antenna. This detection range cannot be achieved by existing commercial RFID systems. Since the transmission and reception in a RFID system are simultaneous, finite isolation of the circulator/directional coupler and environmentally dependent reflection ratio of the antenna lead to serious leakage problems. Leakage can directly cause sensitivity degradation due to saturation of the RF components. A fast leakage suppression block is developed in efforts to solve this problem. Measurements show that this new canceller can deliver an average suppression of 36.9 dB, and this excellent performance remains when the system uses frequency hopping. With help of an improved scanning algorithm, this canceller can find its optimal status within 38 ms, and this settling time is short…

Projeto / JEL Classification: L90 – General, L93 – Air Transportation

Após a desregulação do sector do transporte aéreo surgiram novos concorrentes com um inovador modelo de negócio low-cost, agudizando as dificuldades num sector, per si, com margens de lucro reduzidas. Neste ambiente competitivo é vital para as empresas, ainda mais para as incumbentes (fullservice carriers), direcionarem o seu foco para um serviço orientado para o cliente. Com esse intuito, este trabalho teve como objetivos identificar os fatores de compra mais valorizados pelos passageiros de médio-curso e, simultaneamente, aferir qual dos modelos de negócio estará melhor preparado, no longo prazo, para satisfazer as necessidades dos mesmos. De forma a responder a estas questões de investigação, após a revisão bibliográfica, a estratégia metodológica consistiu na elaboração de um inquérito em escala Likert permitindo ordenar por importância os diferentes fatores de compra e, posteriormente, analisar os seus resultados. Para garantir uma aplicabilidade mais prática, de seguida, foi avaliado o fator de compra mais valorizado numa realidade concreta, ou seja, na rota Lisboa-Londres, onde operam transportadoras aéreas com modelos de negócio distintos. Em termos gerais, foi possível concluir que, nas viagens de médio-curso os passageiros valorizam claramente o preço, seguido de dimensões relacionadas com a verdadeira essência de viajar, em detrimento de serviços “complementares”. Comprovou-se ainda que as low-cost carriers praticam preços mais competitivos e que existe uma forte correlação nos preços praticados entre competidores numa rota. As low-cost carriers, no longo prazo, estarão melhor preparadas para servir as necessidades dos clientes de médio-curso, sendo necessária uma reavaliação do modelo estratégico das full-service carriers.

After the deregulation of air transport, new challengers have emerged with an innovative lowcost business model, accentuating the difficulties in a sector, per si, with reduced profit margins. In this competitive environment it is essential for companies, even more so for incumbent ones (full-service carriers), to focus on a customer-oriented service model. For that purpose, this study aimed to identify the most-valued purchasing factors by mediumhaul passengers while simultaneously assessing which of the business models will be better prepared, in the long-term, to satisfy their needs. In order to respond to these research issues, after the bibliographic review, the methodological strategy consisted in the preparation of a Likert Scale questionnaire that allowed to sort by relevance the different purchasing factors and subsequently analyse its results. In order to guarantee a more practical applicability, the most crucial purchasing factor was evaluated in a real life scenario, i.e. on the Lisbon-London route, where various carriers operate with differing business models. In general terms, it was possible to conclude that, on medium-haul journeys, passengers clearly value the price, followed by elements related…

Mestrado em Ciências Empresariais

A necessidade de qualquer empresa se adaptar ao consumidor é crescente, sendo o valor acrescentado já uma condicionante da sobrevivência da mesma. O aparecimento da indústria low cost revolucionou por completo o mercado, desenvolvendo novas formas de pensamento, planeamento, e competição. Com margens operacionais cada vez menores, torna-se essencial ter o melhor desempenho estratégico para a sustentabilização e aumento da competitividade. O objectivo deste trabalho passa por analisar as exigências do consumidor low cost e, posteriormente, estudar como uma marca, que opera num mercado que tipicamente não é associado a estratégias de baixo custo, introduziu linhas orientadoras para o endereçar. Tomando por base inquéritos realizados ao consumidor e entrevistas a colaboradores desta empresa, pretende-se estudar as linhas estratégicas aplicadas pela Automobile Dacia S.A.. Foi possível concluir com o estudo que o consumidor low cost não se limita a olhar para o preço, e que a associação deste tipo de gama a uma empresa estabelecida no mercado, neste caso a Renault, pode ter efeitos positivos na competitividade do produto. Conclui-se ainda que a empresa analisada luta por encontrar um equilíbrio adequado entre a componente operacional e a de vendas para satisfazer as necessidades do consumidor, de forma a proporcionar aos clientes particulares uma compra racional e calculada.

Nowadays, there is an increasing need for companies to adapt to its target consumers and added value arises as a determinant factor for any business' survival. With the emerging of the low cost industry, the markets suffered a complete revolution, developing new ways of thinking, planning and competing. The shrinking operational margins make it crucial for companies to have a sharp strategic performance, so as to maintain its sustainability and to increase its competitiveness. The aim of this project is to analyze the low cost consumers' basic requirements, and also to deeply understand how a company, which is not typically associated with low-cost strategies, was able to establish guidelines for this type of business. This research is based on consumer surveys and employees' interviews and it is intended to study Automobile Dacia S.A.'s strategic actions. The major conclusions drawn from this study are the fact that price is not the only variable that low cost consumers are concerned with, and also that the association of this kind of brand to an established company - such as Renault - can indeed have a positive effects on such products' competitiveness. Furthermore, I could also conclude that Dacia is currently struggling to find a balanced strategy between the operational and sales departments which could better meet their customers' needs and consequently lead to a more rational and accurate decision when purchasing its products.

Mestrado em Marketing

O Facebook tem vindo a crescer continuamente, com um aumento significativo no número de utilizadores, quer sejam empresas ou particulares. Tornou-se cada vez mais importante para as empresas estarem presentes neste meio para criarem uma ligação duradoura com os seus consumidores. Os consumidores estão cada vez mais atentos ao que é publicado nas páginas das empresas no Facebook, em especial às experiências por parte de outros consumidores. No setor da aviação, há uma aposta crescente no uso das redes sociais para divulgar ofertas e promoções, com o intuito de levar a uma maior compra de viagens. Os consumidores recorrem ao Facebook para pesquisar conteúdo partilhado por quem já fez a mesma viagem, visualizando comentários, fotografias, vídeos, entre outros. A presente dissertação tem como objetivo perceber se a informação das companhias aéreas low-cost presente nas páginas do Facebook, tem influência na intenção de compra de viagens da mesma. Para tal, foi realizado um estudo através de um inquérito online, com o intuito de averiguar se os fatores utilidade, facilidade de uso, diversão, atitude, risco percecionado e uso do Facebook, têm impacto na intenção de compra online. Importa averiguar se esse impacto é positivo ou negativo, e qual a relação existente entre os mesmos fatores. Concluiu-se que os fatores diversão e o uso do Facebook para pesquisa de informação não vão ter qualquer influência na compra online de viagens. Já o risco percecionado tem um impacto negativo na compra de viagens online.

The Facebook has been growing continuously, with a significant increase in the number of users, whether companies or individuals. It has become increasingly important for companies to be present in this environment and therefore to create a lasting connection with their consumers. Consumers are increasingly paying close attention to what is posted on Facebook business pages, especially to other consumer's experiences. Considering the aviation sector, there is an increasing focus on the use of social networks to promote offers and promotions, to lead to a greater purchase of travel. Consumers turn to Facebook to search content shared by those who have taken the same trip, viewing comments, photos, videos, and more. The purpose of this dissertation is to understand if the information present on Facebook pages of low-cost airlines has influence in the intention to purchase trips of those companies. For that, a study was carried out through an online survey, in order to find out which factors have an impact on the intention to buy online and whether this impact is positive or negative, and what is the relationship between those factors. It was concluded that the factors enjoyment and the use of Facebook for information search have no influence on the online purchase of travelling tickets. The factor risk has a negative impact on the purchase of online travel.

A dissertação “Hostels Independentes: o caso de Lisboa” visa contribuir para uma leitura sistematizada da tipologia de alojamento turístico hostel em Lisboa, interpretando o seu contributo para a afirmação da cidade como destino turístico jovem. Os hostels correspondem a uma oferta de alojamento turístico do segmento budget, onde se tem assistido a uma evolução quantitativa e qualitativa na oferta e procura, possível corolário dos desígnios da sociedade ocidental contemporânea, que valoriza a experiência turística em idades cada vez mais jovens. O relatório The Power of Youth Travel (UNWTO, 2012) fundamenta o peso relevante do mercado turístico jovem nas viagens internacionais e na geração de receitas turísticas mundiais. Os hostels, alojamento mais utilizado por este segmento, têm vindo a adaptar-se às especificidades do “novo turismo” e hoje a sua oferta espraia-se num espectro qualitativo variado, com respostas de alojamento diferenciadas, cada vez mais empenhada em satisfazer o seu público-alvo. Elegeu-se a oferta de hostels da cidade de Lisboa como estudo de caso empírico, cuja oferta recente teve um acentuado crescimento nos últimos anos, com particular destaque internacional pelas suas boas práticas. A sua oferta tem contribuído para uma melhoria significativa da capacidade de recepção do turista jovem, através de um conceito de alojamento turístico baseado no preço, informalidade e localização A afirmação do segmento jovem no turismo internacional confere hoje ao hostel um papel de relevo. Tal representa para a cidade de Lisboa um aumento potencial de chegadas turísticas de viajantes associados a novos hábitos de viagem, ao nível da sensibilidade ao preço, utilização intensiva de tecnologias de informação no suporte às tomadas de decisão turística e grande partilha de informação em redes sociais e junto de conhecidos, podendo esta prática traduzir-se em grande influência junto de potenciais turistas. Representa, adicionalmente, um ganho potencial subjacente a uma fidelização de longo de prazo de visitantes jovens que, satisfeitos com a sua visita a Lisboa, poderão regressar numa fase posterior e com outras disposições de consumo, uma vez que estes representam os turistas adultos do futuro. Os resultados apresentados na presente dissertação evidenciam alguns dos contributos desta oferta turística de alojamento para a consolidação da imagem de Lisboa junto do segmento jovem. A dissertação constitui um exercício de reflexão conceptual, consubstanciado na análise descritiva do caso de estudo. O roteiro metodológico, delineado para a interpretação integrada de fontes de informação primárias e secundárias, permitiu dissertar sobre a problemática levantada: que oportunidades acarreta a impulsão do segmento turístico jovem junto dos destinos turísticos?

Le « low cost » est aujourd'hui un concept très mobilisé en innovation et dans le développement de nouveaux produits, à la fois dans la presse en général et dans la littérature scientifique. En sciences de gestion, le concept est aussi bien employé en stratégie qu'en marketing et dans le développement de nouveaux produits. Néanmoins, les managers ont souvent des difficultés à concevoir des produits low cost, à cause du manque d'un modèle de conception pour le low cost. Nos travaux montrent que tous les produits low cost existants ne suivent pas les mêmes règles de conception, et nous proposons un modèle de conception pour le low cost dissociant deux stratégies : le low cost adapté et le low cost innovant. Dans la stratégie de low cost adapté, le produit est reconçu à partir d'un produit existant en enlevant les fonctions non-essentielles. Dans le cas du low cost innovant, une solution complète est conçue pour un besoin défini avec un objectif de coût. Le low cost innovant permet donc de proposer des produits à plus faible coût, mais avec une valeur pour le client plus élevée que les produits existants. Au-delà des règles de conception d'un produit, nous montrons à travers une étude longitudinale effectuée dans le secteur du transport public urbain, les possibilités ouvertes par le low cost innovant pour renouveler l'identité d'objets stabilisés. L'étude de cas souligne trois résultats principaux: 1 / la légitimation du low cost adapté par une stratégie qui combine les deux approches; 2 / la performance de l'approche low cost repose sur la performance de la stratégie d'innovation au-delà des produits et sur sa capacité à renouveler l'identité du transport public; 3 / le low cost renforce les capacités dynamiques d'innovation quand il est utilisé comme outil pour redéfinir les limites de la recherche et de l'espace de conception des organisations, ainsi que comme un outil pour créer de nouveaux partenariats. Enfin, l'étude d'un tel contexte industriel, comme un réseau de valeur complexe, a souligné combien la conception low cost aide à surmonter les obstacles à l'innovation des écosystèmes renouvelant l'identité des objets, proposant de nouveaux partenariats, conduisant les entreprises à redéfinir et reconfigurer leur écosystème ainsi que leur processus de création de valeur.

“Low cost” is nowadays a very mobilized concept in innovation and new product development both in the general press and in the scientific literature. In management sciences, theconcept is widely mobilized in strategy, marketing as well as new product development. However, there seems to be a lack of a design model for such an approach, making difficult for managers to implement the development of low cost offers. Our work shows that existent low cost products had followed different design rules that could be modelled. We propose a low cost design model that distinguishes two approaches: low cost adaptation and smart low cost design. In low cost adaptation approach, the product is…

This pedagogical case study is dedicated to show the recent changes in the airline industry, whereby the majority of the so-called ‘flag carriers’ disappeared, either through privatization or bankruptcy. This is due to lack of capacity to adapt to a new environment, by which network carriers and low cost carriers are fighting with continuous cost reduction and business model changes in order to attract more passengers. Recent studies show that the model of low cost carriers is more suitable in the short haul markets, through which carriers can focus on point-topoint execution rather than network fares. Therefore, network carriers are being forced to reevaluate their way of service with a result of a new model adapted from the low cost carriers. The case study will present the incident of Malév, the Hungarian flag carrier, focusing on the steps that lead to bankruptcy, and analysis of the competitors’ strategic movements occurred right after its official stop of operations on February 3rd, 2012.

O âmbito deste estudo de caso é mostrar as recentes mudanças no sector da aviação, evidenciadas pelo desaparecimento, por privatização ou falência, da maioria das chamadas ‘companhias de bandeira’. Este facto deve-se à falta de capacidade de adaptação a um novo ambiente, onde as companhias áreas lutam por uma contínua redução de preços e mudanças no modelo de negócio, de modo a atrairem mais passageiros. Estudos recentes demonstram que o modelo de negócio das companhias low cost é mais apropriado para o mercado de curto e médio curso, onde as companhias se podem focar na execução point-to-point ao invés das tarifas de rede. Deste modo, as companhias de rede têm sido forçadas a reavaliarem os serviços oferecidos, adaptando um modelo de negócio semelhante ao das companhias low cost. O caso de estudo apresentará o incidente da companhia área de bandeira húngara Malév, centrado-se no caminho percorrido pela mesma e que a levou à falência, e análise dos posicionamentos estratégicos dos concorrentes, que ocorreram logo após o término oficial das operações, a 3 de Fevereiro de 2012.

JEL Classifications: L93 - Air Transportation R11 - Regional Economic Activity: Growth, Development, and Changes

This study identifies the short term impacts of Low-Cost Airlines (LCAs) on Madeira Islands. By analysing the relevant literature, this study describes the interdependence between tourism and air transport, and the effect that the low-cost airline concept has on both industries. Both generic and industry specific impacts are drawn from the literature, while explaining the advantages and disadvantages of this airline business model. LCAs have experienced tremendous growth in Europe since its birth in the mid 1990’s and have now reached Madeira Islands, a tourism destination still served mainly by charter operations offering tour operator’s package holidays. Research made out of airport and tourism statistics, shows evidence of a significant mismatch between offer and demand in the tourism industry that could possibly be diminished by the entry of LCAs in the market. Findings suggest that, as previously observed for other regions, LCAs do in fact generate significant airport passenger growth, therefore increasing the number of tourists visiting the islands and spending nights at the hotels. However, the average length of stay decreases as more flight frequency induces flexibility and shot-break vacations. While long term impacts are yet to be measured, in order to achieve a balance between tourism supply and demand, as well as higher economic development, all players in the market must join efforts in developing strategies that will promote sustained growth.

Este estudo identifica os impactos de curto prazo das companhias aéreas low-cost na Região Autónoma da Madeira. Através da análise da literatura relevante, este estudo descreve a interdependência entre o turismo e o transporte aéreo, bem como o efeito que o conceito de companhia aérea low-cost tem em ambas as indústrias. Impactos genéricos e específicos foram retirados da literatura, explicando as principais vantagens e desvantagens deste modelo de negócio. Tendo crescido significativamente na Europa, desde o seu aparecimento na década de 90, as companhias aéreas low-cost chegaram agora à Região Autónoma da Madeira, um destino turístico ainda maioritariamente servido por operações charter. A pesquisa efectuada com base nas estatísticas dos aeroportos e turismo, evidenciam um desiquilíbrio entre a oferta e a procura no sector do turismo, que pode eventualmente ser atenuado pela entrada de companhias aéreas lowcost no mercado. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que, à semelhança do verificado anteriormente noutras regiões, as companhias aéreas low-cost geram um crescimento significativo do tráfego aéreo de passageiros, consequentemente contribuindo para o aumento do número de turistas que visitam as ilhas e respectivas dormidas. Contudo, devido à maior flexibilidade decorrente da crescente disponibilização de voos que potencia estadias de menor duração, a estada média decresce. Embora os impactos de longo prazo estejam ainda por medir, de modo a obter o…
