Abstract

"Why do some places grow while others are shrinking? What are the most important driving forces behind increases in the number of inhabitants and jobs? How can places affect their own growth? This book is written for those who want to understand how structural forces affect the development of their locale and how one can create growth through increased attractiveness. Most Norwegian municipalities, cities, regions and counties try to stimulate growth and development in their localities. They want growth in the population and more jobs. This book describes the main features of regional development in Norway since 2000. Telemark Research Institute has proposed a new model, the attractiveness model, to explain the growth and development of places. This book explains how this model works, how it is constructed and how it can be used to understand the forces behind regional development." "Hvorfor vokser noen steder, mens andre krymper? Hva er de viktigste drivkreftene bak steders utvikling? Og hvordan kan steder påvirke sin egen vekst? Denne boka er skrevet for de som ønsker å forstå hvordan de strukturelle kreftene påvirker utviklingen på sitt sted og hvordan en kan skape vekst gjennom økt attraktivitet. De fleste norske kommuner, byer, regioner og fylker forsøker å stimulere vekst og utvikling på sitt sted. De ønsker vekst i folketallet og flere arbeidsplasser.

Abstract

The project thesis discussed here aims to evaluate the potential of the market linked to wastewater treatment plants targeting pharmaceuticals.&#13;Indeed, questions around the effects of pharmaceuticals on the environment have been raised in the recent years. With this idea in mind, CMI decided to develop a wastewater treatment plant dedicated to hospitals, who are responsible for 20% of this drug pollution. A special attention has been dedicated to hospitals from Belgium, Luxemburg, France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland and Denmark.&#13;In order to know better hospitals, some research and analysis have been conducted. It turned out that there were a huge disparity, regarding hospitals’ organization, within the different countries studied. We could find some differences regarding the size of the markets, with Germany the biggest and Luxemburg the smallest, but also regarding the organization of the hospitals systems. These analysis have always showed that purchase motivations are regulations related and that at the moment the market is completely unregulated regarding pharmaceuticals in wastewater.&#13;Regarding the competition, this innovative project is well positioned. Its process and its main characteristics are not yet present on the market. Indeed, the technological aspects of the products guarantee smaller prices and less maintenance requirements than the competition.&#13;When taking into considerations all the characteristics of the market, two different elements stand out. First, CMI must confirm the efficiency of its product. Without this credibility, CMI will have strong difficulties to establish itself on different markets. Second, it seems that without a strong legislative canvas, potential of markets remains very limited. In order to tackle this problem, lobbying strategies at a regional level have been imagined. It is a combination of technology efficiency and strong lobbying that could lead CMI to success on this particular market.

Abstract

Dans le paysage des musées liégeois, le Trésor de Liège, situé dans le cloître de la Cathédrale Saint Paul, présente des collections exceptionnelles d’art et d’histoire de l’ancienne principauté épiscopale. Pourtant, ce joyau du patrimoine liégeois peine à accroître sa visibilité et son attractivité malgré l’inauguration, en 2018, de nouvelles salles et l’achèvement de plus d’une décennie de travaux. Ce mémoire de sciences de gestion s’attache à définir le positionnement et la stratégie du Trésor dans l’offre muséale liégeoise afin de proposer des clés d’amélioration de son potentiel d’attractivité. Par le biais de sources quantitatives et qualitatives variées, cette étude de cas offre la parole aux acteurs du musée, tant gestionnaires que bénévoles, ainsi qu’aux visiteurs. Sous le prisme des concepts d’attractivité et de marketing territorial appliqués au tourisme culturel, ce travail propose un diagnostic stratégique de la situation du Trésor dans son environnement concurrentiel et son fonctionnement interne. Une attention particulière est accordée à l’efficience des outils de communication et de promotion mobilisés. Les tendances et résultats dégagés permettent d’avancer quelques recommandations stratégiques en vue de concrétiser le potentiel d’attractivité du Trésor, en augmentant sa fréquentation et sa visibilité auprès des touristes mais également des résidents liégeois ignorant jusqu’à l’existence de ce musée local. In the museum landscape of Liège, the Treasure House, located in the cloister of Saint Paul's Cathedral, shows exceptional collections of art and history of the former episcopal principality. Yet, this jewel of the city heritage is struggling to increase its visibility and attractiveness despite the inauguration, in 2018, of new rooms and the completion of more than a decade of works. This dissertation in management sciences aims to define the Treasure's positioning and strategy in the Liège museum offer in order to propose keys to improve its attractiveness potential. Through a variety of quantitative and qualitative sources, this case study gives the floor to museum stakeholders, both managers and volunteers, as well as visitors. Under the lens of the concepts of attractiveness and territorial marketing applied to cultural tourism, this work proposes a strategic diagnosis of the Treasure's situation in its competitive environment and its internal functioning. Particular attention is given to the efficiency of the communication and promotion tools used. The trends and results generated allow us to make some strategic recommendations in order to make the Treasure's attractiveness potential a reality by increasing its use and visibility among tourists as well as residents of Liège who are unaware of the existence of this local museum.

Abstract

Nowadays, the war for talent is omnipresent and plays in favor of young graduates. In this context, the success of large international Big Four-type firms largely depends on the recruitment of young university graduates and the retention of qualified professionals. The first objective of this thesis is to analyze the attractiveness of the Big Four to young university graduates. The second objective of this work is to understand the Big Four's up-or-out management system, in order to define the criteria that determine the success of the auditors within them. &#13;&#13;First, a review of the existing literature on the attractiveness and the management system of the Big Four is carried out. This literature review establishes the theoretical framework of this thesis. Following this, a qualitative study is conducted on three different targets using, on the one hand, the questionnaire survey technique and, on the other hand, the semi-directive interview technique. Our sample of interviewees is composed of Master 2 students enrolled in the "Financial Analysis and Audit" Master's degree at HEC-Liège, Junior auditors with one to two years' experience and professionals who have an insight into the recruitment process of some of these large firms. The results obtained are analyzed and compared to the theoretical framework. They lead to the conclusion and recommendations to be drawn from the concepts studied.&#13;&#13;Based on the qualitative analysis that is carried out, it appears that the Big Four are attractive in the eyes of young university graduates – the most frequently cited assertion being that they are mainly interested in using this first professional experience as an asset for their future career. Then, in terms of the criteria that determine the success of the auditors, it appears that in the first two to three years, technical skills are quite important but that they are considered to be acquired from the Senior 2 grade upwards. Therefore, processes such as socialization and successful integration, which are set out as soon as the auditor joins the firm, reveal to be important for the auditor's success within the firm. Finally, three recommendations are made and addressed to large international firms regarding the maintenance of their attractiveness and one recommendation is addressed to young university graduates to ensure their success from the very beginning of their career with the Big Four.

Abstract

Le secteur des Biotechnologies est en plein essor depuis plusieurs années et le marché ne cesse de croître. Cette croissance est une source importante d’opportunités pour les entreprises concernées. Diagenode est une société faisant partie de ce marché et a connu une croissance continue depuis sa création en 2003. Cette entreprise investit des sommes importantes en Recherche et Développement afin de rester un des leaders du marché des solutions Epigénétiques. Le portefeuille de produits de la société est vaste et comprend aussi bien des kits, que des réactifs et des machines. Depuis 2016, un département Services propose également aux clients de réaliser leurs expériences par des experts du domaine en utilisant les technologies disponibles chez Diagenode. Ce domaine de marché, bien qu’en croissance, est concurrentiel. De nouvelles sociétés sont créées (notamment en Asie) et de grands noms de la recherche développent également des offres de services risquant donc de limiter la part de marché de Diagenode.&#13;L’objectif de ce mémoire a été de déterminer si le positionnement actuel du département Services de l’entreprise était adéquat et de formuler des recommandations le cas échéant. Un audit stratégique a donc été réalisé afin de déterminer les forces et faiblesses de la société, les caractéristiques du marché ainsi que l’analyse des ventes de services afin de déterminer l’attractivité de l’offre et la capacité de Diagenode à convertir ces opportunités en ventes. Une analyse de la segmentation du marché et du positionnement a ensuite été effectuée afin de tenter de déterminer comment la société se place sur le marché et comment elle est perçue par sa clientèle.&#13;Il est apparu de ces analyses que Diagenode apparaissait comme étant une société de confiance possédant une expertise importante dans le domaine mais dont les prix sont élevés. Or, le message principalement mis en avant par l’entreprise est la possibilité d’obtenir des réductions sur son offre. L’image envoyée et la perception sont donc en décalage et peuvent donc nuire à la croissance du département. Une mise en avant des compétences du personnel et de la confiance que de grandes entreprises ont accordée à Diagenode pourrait différencier l’offre de l’entreprise et lui permettre de retrouver une croissance plus importante. The Biotechnology sector has been growing for many years and the market is still expanding. This implies a huge potential in sales for all the companies in the field. Diagenode is one of those and has known growth since its founding in 2003. This company invests a lot in Research and Development in order to remain one of the leader of laboratory equipment in the Epigenetic field. The portfolio of product of the company is composed of kits, reagents as well as machines. Since 2016, a Services department also offer the realization of experiment by field experts using the proprietary technologies available at Diagenode. This part of the market, currently growing, is competitive. New companies arrives on the market (from Asia) and big companies in the research sector also develop services offers that are competing directly with Diagenode and could decrease the market share of the company.&#13;The objective of this thesis was to assess the accuracy of the positioning of the Services department of the company and recommend solutions if needs be. A strategic audit has been performed in order to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the society and the analysis of the services sales in order to determine the attractiveness of the offer and the capacity of Diagenode to convert opportunities into sales. An analysis of the segmentation of the sector and the positioning was also performed in order to determine how the company is placing itself in the market and how its customers perceive it.&#13;From those analysis, Diagenode appears to have the trust of its customer and also a huge expertise in the field counterbalanced by high prices. However, the principal message sent by the company is the possibility to obtain reductions and decreased prices. The positioning and the perception are not aligned and could therefore be detrimental to the growth of the department. Positioning the company as a trustworthy expert, entrusted by great names in the field could differentiate Diagenode and allow it to reach the growth it once had.

Abstract

This thesis is a resulting work of a seven-month internship period at Epic Agency in Liege, Belgium under the Project Thesis framework of HEC Management School – University of Liège. This thesis is a compulsory part of the master’s degree in Management Sciences. During the internship, the thesis topic was assigned by Sir Benoit Rondeux, Epic’s managing partner and then necessary qualitative data was gathered via in-depth interviews to complete this thesis.&#13;This thesis’s topic is to explore the market opportunities of Auxilium, a time-tracking, invoicing and reporting software, which was created by Epic agency for its internal usage since 2014. Perceiving Auxilium’s efficient performance, managers at Epic have wondered themselves a question “What are the market opportunities of Auxilium?”. This student was then assigned to the student as the thesis topic, which was then deduced into three main research questions: (1) Which market opportunities exist for Auxilium? (2) What are the most attractive market opportunities for Auxilium? (3) What market opportunities should Auxilium focus on? The Market Opportunity Navigator tool designed by Marc Gruber and Sharon Tai is used as a framework to meticulously answer these three questions. The first question’s answer is a set of two most interesting market opportunity set for Auxilium, which are “A PSA solution for freelancer/1-person company offering professional service” opportunity and “A PSA solution for micro- & small-sized PSOs”. The second question’s answer is an Attractiveness Map portraying the attractiveness level of Auxilium’s market opportunity in two dimensions – Value Creation Potential and Value Capturing Challenge. While the first opportunity is located in the Quick Win quarter, inferring low turn at low risk, the second opportunity is located between Quick Win and Questionable quarter with higher return at higher risk. The third question’s answer is an optimal focus strategy that helps Auxilium wisely navigate in the landscape of market opportunity with the most efficient allocation and leverage of Auxilium’s resource and capacities. The student believes that these results are structured and practical enough for Epic’s managers to use as an objective reference for their decision-making process on whether they should start a business venture with Auxilium.

Abstract

Quel plus bel exemple que la métropole de Paris pour décliner le droit comme facteur d’attractivité, tant l’enjeu de compétitivité juridique et économique est essentiel et ce, autant pour répondre à la fragmentation des places européennes qu’à l’émergence des grandes métropoles asiatiques ? À bien des égards, la place juridique de Paris se démarque des autres capitales et représente un lieu propice au conseil juridique et au règlement des litiges internationaux, notamment en raison du récent éparpillement des acteurs financiers mondiaux rassemblés auparavant dans la City londonienne pour accéder au marché unique européen et de la délocalisation du siège de l’Autorité bancaire européenne à Paris. Le présent ouvrage décrit l’attractivité économique de la place juridique de Paris sous tous ses angles. Il souligne l’importance fondamentale de raisonner en termes de « place », à l’instar des grandes métropoles des affaires, et relève l’existence d’un véritable écosystème d’acteurs contribuant au rayonnement de Paris comme centre d’excellence juridique. Pour se distinguer des places juridiques de Londres, Singapour, Amsterdam, New York, Bruxelles ou encore Francfort, la métropole parisienne mesure et décrit objectivement ses nombreux atouts ainsi que ses quelques faiblesses afin de mieux les isoler et d’y remédier en formulant des propositions d’amélioration en toute transparence et de la sorte consolider l’influence de Paris à l’étranger et affirmer son identité de place internationale du droit. De nombreux chercheurs et spécialistes français et internationaux, en économie et en droit, ont uni leurs forces, leurs études et leurs expertises qualitatives et quantitatives et compilé leurs résultats afin de parvenir à la publication de cet ouvrage.
