The car manufacturing industry faced significant challenges due to the international financial crisis and economic slowdown, particularly in Europe and the United States. The seminar paper explores how the credit crunch impacted the industry, highlighting the consequences of years of easy financing options, such as low interest rates and lax credit approvals. This decoupling of economic growth from car sales resulted in a substantial excess in demand, leading to turbulence within the sector.

Focusing on value disciplines, this seminar paper explores how companies can achieve industry leadership by emphasizing one of three key areas identified by Treacy in 1993. It discusses the strategic implications of these disciplines in business economics, particularly in supply, production, and logistics. The analysis, grounded in academic research, provides insights into how organizations can enhance their competitive advantage and effectively align their operations with market demands.

The thesis explores the challenges faced by the service sector in the internationalization process, particularly focusing on country-of-origin effects (COO) and their impact on consumer quality expectations (ESQ). It highlights the unique characteristics of services, such as inseparability of provision and consumption, which complicate market entry strategies. The research investigates whether providing information about training in the company's home country can mitigate the negative effects of incongruence in COO facets, especially when local staff is prioritized over expatriates.

Voluntary sustainability initiatives (VSIs) have become the most applied approach for companies to set environmental or social obligations for their supply-chains. However, companies face two main challenges in the design of VSIs: Firstly, they recognise acceptance problems by different stakeholders and opposition by competing initiatives. Secondly, they experience significant resource demands to set up VSIs and ask for more efficient solutions. Nils Peters addresses these challenges by empirically analysing the key resources and complementarities that enable companies to efficiently establish effective designs of VSIs both in terms of participants’ compliance and the acceptance of initiative-external stakeholders.
