Para resumir el contenido de la tesis comenzaremos por señalar que el propósito de la misma es lograr desarrollar una estrategia de mercadeo para la introducción de la nueva línea de televisores Panasonic en el mercado panameño, con un plan que cubra varias áreas analíticas que vayan más allá de las famosas "4P" tradicionales: producto, precio, plaza y promoción. Se necesita ahora una visión más general e investigar, planificar, organizar y ejecutar una estrategia de mercadeo eficaz, desde la planificación del producto y los precios hasta a la selección del mercado y de la distribución. Hoy en día, al posicionar sus productos en el complicado ambiente global las empresas multinacionales deben ejercer cierta flexibilidad y adaptar el concepto del mercadeo global para que encaje con sus negocios. Las corporaciones deben responder a las amenazas de la competencia, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional, previendo las posibles reacciones de los competidores. Este proyecto de tesis trata de abarcar de manera sencilla todas las etapas necesarias en la elaboración de una estrategia de mercadeo adecuadas a la realidad actual. Para cumplir lo arriba propuesto, comenzaremos por plantear el problema existente; además enumeraremos los objetivos de la tesis, se explicará para qué se está haciendo esta investigación, se definirá su importancia y se sustentará su justificación. Continuaremos haciendo un breve resumen de la historia de la compañía, se describirán las principales actividades a las cuales se dedica, se enumerarán los objetivos de la misma y se hará un estudio del medio ambiente de la empresa en el cual se evaluará el desempeño y la importancia en cada uno de los procesos de comercialización de la misma. Luego se expondrán los objetivos de la investigación de mercado que se realizará para analizar el problema objeto de este estudio y para crear la estrategia de mercadeo que permita lograr las metas de la compañía. Se describirá el tipo de investigación y se señalarán las fuentes de información que se pretende utilizar en este trabajo. Estadísticamente se calculará el tamaño de la muestra que se estudiará en la investigación y se describirá el procedimiento para realizar la misma. Los resultados de la investigación servirán de guía a las operaciones de marketing para estructurar la mezcla de mercadeo que permita obtener utilidades del producto que se está comercializando

Indexing, browsing and searching of digital video

Video is a communications medium that normally brings together moving pictures with a synchronised audio track into a discrete piece or pieces of information. The size of a “piece ” of video can variously be referred to as a frame, a shot, a scene, a clip, a programme or an episode, and these are distinguished by their lengths and by their composition. We shall return to the definition of each of these in section 4 this chapter. In modern society, video is ver

Development of a Quality of Service Framework for Multimedia Streaming Applications

By the year 2012, it is expected that the majority of all Internet traffic will be video content. Coupled with this is the increasing availability of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) due to their ease of deployment, flexibility and reducing roll out costs. Unfortunately the contention based access mechanism utilised by IEEE 802.11 WLANs does not suit the non-uniform or bursty bandwidth profile of a video stream which can lead to a reduced quality of service (QoS) being experienced by the end-user. In 2005, the IEEE 802.11e protocol was ratified in an attempt to solve this emerging problem. It provides for an access prioritization mechanism based upon four separate traffic classes or access categories (ACs). Each AC is characterised by a set of access parameters that determine its level of access priority which is turn determines the amount of bandwidth available to it. Computer simulation studies have shown that AC prioritisation can yield significant improvements in the QoS delivered over a WLAN. However, these studies have been based upon the use of static access parameters for the ACs. In practice, this is not a viable solution owing to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the operating conditions on WLANs. In this thesis, an experimental study of AC prioritisation based upon adaptive tuning of the access parameters is presented. This new approach to bandwidth provisioning for video streaming is shown to yield significant improvements in the QoS under a wide range of different operating conditions. For example, it is shown that by adaptively tuning the access control parameters in response to the network conditions, the number of video frames delivered that satisfy QoS requirements is more than doubled

The mobile information access experience - A user perspective

This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Mobile technologies, such as mobile phones, smartphones and Palmtop computers, are in an upwards trend and earliest models of such devices are already available to end-users to communicate and access multimedia content on-the-move. As a logical outcome of this development in mobile technologies and devices, content provider companies have already started investing and piloting mobile multimedia content distribution and broadcasting technologies. Nevertheless, no matter how cutting-edge technology is and no matter how stylish the mobile devices are, the ultimate success of wireless communication technologies and devices are directly associated with the user adoption and embrace of these new equipment and technologies. In this perspective, since multimedia content, for mobile or not, is ultimately produced for the education and/or enjoyment of viewers, the user's perspective concerning the presentation quality is surely of equal importance as objective Quality of Service (QoS) technical parameters, to defining distributed multimedia quality. In order to comprehensively understand user experiences whilst accessing information using mobile devices and technologies, we investigate user-mobile device interaction and look into the surrounding issues in a uniform manner by combining multiple aspects: user initial device experience (Out-of-Box Experience), mobile information access in a real-world context, device impact on user information access and perceptually tailored multimedia content impact on user information assimilation and satisfaction. Accordingly, an extensive experimental investigation has been undertaken to see how user experiences varied based on device familiarity, device type, real-world context and variable locations. The findings has shown that the overall perception, and effectively the user information access experience, is affected and improved when multimedia content is tailored according to user device type and context. Thus highlights that the future of mobile computing necessitates two-faceted research, which should combine both a user as well as a technical perspective

A phenomenological analysis of an instructional systems design creative project

This research paper is a phenomenological analysis of a creative project involving University of Northern Iowa undergraduate art students in the planning and creation of visual illustrations, graphic design concepts, .html documents, and imagery for a world wide web intranet/lnternet virtual space. This analysis looks at instructional design as a creative process and the phenomenology of the UNI Art/Cat (Art Resources Technology/Computer Assisted Training) computer laboratory. The mission, goals, and objectives of the creative project, experiential and experimental philosophies of education, and the phenomenologies of the instructional design process are the main considerations. The methodology of this thesis is primarily concerned with action research and research as lived experience. The generational aspects of computer hardware and software and the affective aspects of the evolution of the infrastructure upon instructional development is examined. This generation of techno-apparatus includes the Macintosh G3 Personal Computer in a network environment, Afga and Hewlett Packard Flatbed Scanners, Polaroid Slide Scanners, Adobe Graphic Design Software, and Symantec Visual Page Web Design Software. Commentary on the social and bureaucratic considerations in this particular creative project and discussion of the collaboration with UNI Art Department administration, faculty, and students is included with the final conclusions and recommendations
