Chapter 1 explores regional lockout’s assemblage of technology, distribution, regulation, and culture through the DVD region code. In order to preserve traditional market segmentation practices, Hollywood convinced consumer electronics manufacturers to develop a DRM system wherein DVDs and DVD players are assigned a numerical “region code” based on their respective geographic territories. The codes in the software and hardware must match before the DVD will play. Chapter 1 details the DVD region code’s history, showing how the system was put in place and governed through complex negotiations and alignments among content creators, electronics manufacturers, and governing bodies. The chapter argues that the system is not only a hard-nosed form of technological and distributional control but also a system of symbolic global representation that clusters certain territories together and ranks those clusters within economic and cultural hierarchies.

The manager of the Sony VAIO personal computer in China has been given two segmentation studies. One study is country-specific and product-specific. The other is a global segmentation study, which covers all regions and all of Sony's many consumer electronics. Which segmentation study should the manager rely on---or is there a way to rely on both? After deciding which study is best, which consumer should the manager target, and with what position?To provide a basis for students (with the help of their lecturer or professor) to answer the following questions: What are the general purposes of a market segmentation study, and what are some of the associated challenges? Is it better for a segmentation study to provide information about the likelihood of category purchase or the likelihood of brand purchase?

<span lang="EN-US">Today, the semiconductor industries are rapidly usinganalog and mixed signals to achieve cost-effective solutions on a System on Chip (SoC) design.  The SoC device is a part of analog, digital and essential mixed-signal models/circuits merged on a semiconductor device, which provides the platform to build modern retail/consumer electronics appliances with smart technology. In order to evaluate the mixed signals, the conventional approaches are not effective with respect to its performance, time and manufacturing cost. Thus, the recent researches were much interested in formal verification technique as it provides the evidence of conscious algorithms in a system. The demand for formal verification in the SoC designs in the context of software and hardware platform is high because of its cost and accuracy. Thus, the paper introduces atechnique of formal verification for mixed signals by using training models of the Differential fed neural network (DFNN) over feedforward neural network (FFNN). The formal verification is performed through equivalence checking by using recently adopted designs as reference designs. The outcomes of the verification techniques suggests that DFNN based technique improves the training accuracy and optimizes the hardware resources like area, power than the FFNN based technique.</span>

With the popularity of online reviews, brand managers have opportunities to segment their markets according to the reviews of their products or services by customers. Nonetheless, it has been suggested that traditional market segmentation methods are ineffective at analyzing online review data due to the complex features and large amount of this type of data; specifically, traditional methods fail to take into account the networked nature of interactive relationships among reviewers and brands across online review websites. Accordingly, this study proposes a network analysis approach for the market segmentation of online reviews. Collecting samples from Yelp via web scraping, this study demonstrates how network analysis techniques can be utilized to segment online reviewers through a four-step process. The results reveal the core and peripheral market segments, as well as the bridge segment in the core. The study contributes to offering marketing researchers and managers a new network structure analysis approach for the market segmentation of online reviews.

ABSTRAKPertumbuhan modern ritel yang sangat cepat di Indonesia menimbulkan perdebatan mengenaibagaimana pertumbuhan yang cepat ini mempengaruhi sektor ritel tradisonal. Tujuan dari tulisan inimenitikberatkan kepada persepsi para peritel tradisional mengenai dampak dari pertumbuhan modernritel terhadap pendapatan peritel tradisional. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan analisis deskriptif.Data primer diperoleh berdasarkan wawancara mendalam dengan 45 peritel tradisional yang berlokasidi 3 pasar tradisional di Bandung. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Bertolak belakang denganpandangan pada umumnya, peritel tradisional (yang menjual sayur dan buah segar) percaya bahwakeberadaan ritel modern di sekitar lokasi penjualan mereka memiliki dampak yang kecil terhadappendapatan mereka. (2) Penurunan pendapatan peritel tradisional yang terlibat dalam studi inidisebabkan terutama karena adanya kompetisi dengan para pedagang kaki lima (PKL) danpermasalahan yang berkaitan dengan managemen internal dari pasar tradisional itu sendiri sepertimisalnya peningkatan harga sewa jongko dan keterbatasan infrastruktur pendukung lainnya. (3)Diferensiasi produk (dalam kualitas dan jenis produk) yang diperjualbelikan di pasar tradisional danpasar modern serta perbedaan segmen pasar diantara keduanya, membuat kedua jenis pasar ini salingmelengkapi satu sama lain.Kata kunci: persepsi peritel, dampak, pertumbuhan ritel modern, ritel tradisional, BandungABSTRACTRapid rise of modern retails in Indonesia raised a debate on how this rapid rise affects traditionalretail sectors. This study highlights traditional retailer’s perception on the impact of modern retailgrowth to their income. Descriptive analysis is used in this study. Primary data was gained from indepth interview with 45 traditional retailers in 3 traditional markets in Bandung. This study showsthat: (1) On the contrary with the conventional wisdom, traditional retailers (who sell FFV) believethat the existence of modern retails nearby their selling locations has little impact on their income. (2)Decreasing income of traditional retailers in our study is mostly caused by competition with illegalstreet vendors and internal traditional market management issues such as increasing rental price ofstalls and limited infrastructures. (3) Product differentiation (in quality and type of goods) that aresold in traditional and modern retails and market segmentation, make these two types of marketscomplement to each other.Keywords: retailer’s perception, impact, modern retail growth, traditional retail, Bandung.
