IKEA's brand culture in today's Chinese market: Focus on Shanghai
No full textTitle: IKEA's brand culture in today's Chinese market: Focus on Shanghai Level: Final assignment for Master of Business Administration Author: Hongming Yang, Chen Hu Supervisor: Maria Fregidou-Malama Date: 2012-June Aim: The aim of this study is to analyze the collected information to study the IKEA's brand culture and consumer psychology and behavior in Shanghai market nowadays. By using Hofstede´s cultural dimensions to assess the IKEA's brand culture in Shanghai we give suggestions to IKEA about how to adapt to the regional market. Method: Use of primary data which were collected through interviews, with a questionnaire provided to managers. Secondary data in form of articles, books and published literature has been collected through databases such as DIVA, Emerald and the library at Gävle University. We use qualitative analysis to study the issue. Result & Conclusions: IKEA's brand culture to provide good quality products to improve people's life in Shanghai in cheap price is not so clearly understood. IKEA has to adjust its marketing strategy, such as improving the quality of its products, or reducing the price, to remove the Shanghai consumers' confusion and misunderstanding of IKEA, in order to suit the Shanghai regional culture. Contribution of the thesis: We suggest that multinational enterprises should pay attention on the regional culture of the market they want to enter in. It is important that the enterprises know the Shanghai consumers' culture requirements, which can lead enterprises to promote their brand culture

Entropy coding aided adaptive subcarrier-index modulated OFDM
No full textWe propose entropy coding aided adaptive subcarrier index modulated orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SIM-OFDM). In conventional SIM-OFDM, the indices of the subcarriers activated are capable of conveying extra information. We propose the novel concept of compressing the index information bits by employing Huffman coding. The probabilities of the different subcarrier activation patterns are obtained from an optimization procedure, which improves the performance of the scheme. Both the maximum-likelihood (ML) as well as the logarithmic-likelihood ratio (LLR-) based soft detector may be employed for detecting the subcarriers activated as well as the information mapped to the classic constellation symbols. As an additional advantage of employing the variable-length Huffman codebook, all the legitimate subcarrier activation patterns may be employed, whereas the conventional SIM-OFDM is capable of using only a subset of the patterns. Our simulation results show that an improved performance is attainable by the proposed system

Artimpaza brevilineata Tian & Chen, 2012 in Tian, Chen & Li 2012
No full textArtimpaza brevilineata Tian & Chen, 2012 in Tian, Chen & Li, 2012: 43, figs. 1–9. (Figs. 28a, b) Type locality: China, Yunnan, Pu’er City, Yutang. Gender: female. Date collected: 2011.V.25 (2010.V.25, in the original description, is incorrect). Collector: Li-Chao TIAN & Gui-Qiang HUANG. Paratypes: 1 female, China, Yunnan, Lincang City, 1980.VI.1, Fen LIU leg. Remarks: In the original description, the type locality is “ Yunnan, Jinghong” while it is “ Yunnan, Yutang” according to the label. “Yutang” is actually in Pu’er, not Jinghong. The first author described the type locality by mistake. In the original description, the collector was only listed as Li-Chao TIAN, which was a mistake.Published as part of Li, Zhu & Chen, Li, 2020, Primary types of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Vesperidae and Disteniidae) of Southwest University (SWU), pp. 25-46 in Zootaxa 4718 (1) on page 33, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4718.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/360220
