Good Communication

Operations of modern companies involve adjusting offered products and services to requirements and expectations of customers which are changing permanently. In order to keep up with expectations of consumers, they are engaged in production, promotion and consumption of co-produced goods or services. This article focuses on the phenomenon of inter-prosumption, that is cooperation consumer – Internet user and manufacturer through web pages to develop new or improve existing products, which is in this case taste of food products or their better packaging. Creating product innovation by engaged consumers requires good communication between them and the manufacturer. Such communication is often possible through a website and a contact form.

We live in a world of limited biological resources and ecosystems, which are essential to feed people. Consequently, diversifying target species and considering full exploitation are essential for fishery sustainability. The present study focuses on the valorization of three low commercial value fish species (blue jack mackerel, Trachurus picturatus; black seabream, Spondyliosoma cantharus; and piper gurnard, Trigla lyra) and of two unexploited species (comber, Serranus cabrilla and boarfish, Capros aper) through the development of marine-based food products with added value. A preliminary inquiry with 155 consumers from Região de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo (Center of Portugal) was conducted to assess fish consumption, the applicability of fish product innovation, and the importance of valorizing discarded fish. Five products (black seabream ceviche, smoked blue jack mackerel pâté, dehydrated piper gurnard, fried boarfish, and comber pastries) were developed and investigated for their sensory characteristics and consumer liking by hedonic tests to 90 consumers. The most important descriptors were identified for each product (texture, flavor, color, and appearance). Comber pastries had the highest purchase intention (88%), followed by black seabream ceviche (85%) and blue jack mackerel pâté (76%). Sensory evaluations showed a clear tendency of consumers to accept reformulated products, with the introduction of the low-value and unexploited species under study.

In response to increasing customer attention to food attributes, agribusinesses are employing novel product differentiation strategies. As an example, we investigate the use of food safety claims on new packaged food products from the food manufacturers’ perspective. First, using two product innovation databases, we investigate claim use on labels in seven English-speaking countries over the period from 1980 to 2008. Then, based on manufacturer recommended selling prices and using U.S. data (from 2002 to 2008), we apply parametric and nonparametric hedonic methods to identify supply-side (agribusiness) valuations of chemical and microbiological claims in two food categories. We identify a significant 5 cent premium per ounce for a “preservative free” claim in spoonable yogurts. We do not find a statistically significant impact for “E. coli free” messages on meat and poultry products but find a significant price premium (19.3 cents and 25.7 cents per ounce in the two models) for “antibiotic free” claims in this category.

This study aims to determine the consumer protection system containing legal certainty and transparency of information and access to information. This study is normative, a study that examines the legal provisions of positive law and legal principles. The data used are secondary data, data obtained through library research and research tools for obtaining secondary data obtained through the study of documents. The results show that the picture is not clear that information obtained by the public in the case of infant formula reflects that the system of consumer protection provisions contained in the Consumer Protection Act can’t be realized the government and the level of knowledge/education is uneven between urban communities and suburban/rural . As such, it needs continuous efforts in fostering a critical attitude to the public on the quality of food products so as to encourage the creation of an attitude of prudence consuming public in terms of food products, and the Government should have good communication skills with the public as consumers.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating effect of product innovation on the relation between the knowledge management and competitive advantage. To analyze the effect of knowledge management on innovation, the effect of knowledge management on competitive advantage and the effect of innovation on competitive advantage in small and medium enterprises in food products are taken into account. Design/methodology/approach The approach used in this study was quantitative approach. The population in this study was all the small and medium entrepreneurs of typical food products of Riau and Central Java Indonesia, which consisted of 238 business units: secondary data of Industry, Trade and Cooperative Service and SME Riau and Central Java Province at 2016. The data analysis method was structural equation modeling, using three measurement models (reflection of three research variables, equivalent to the first-order factor analysis). Findings Product innovation mediated the effect of knowledge management on the competitive advantage. It indicated that the higher the knowledge management, the higher the competitive advantage would be, if mediated by higher product innovation. The test results showed that knowledge management had positive and significant effect on product innovation. The positive effect showed that the better the knowledge management by the entrepreneurs of small and medium enterprises of typical food products of Riau, the better is the product innovation and vice versa. Originality/value This paper examines the mediating effects (using Sobel test) of product innovation on the relation between knowledge management and competitive advantage (no previous research on this relation), and the study is conducted on SMEs in Indonesia, especially in Riau and Central Java provinces. Previous studies on knowledge management and other factors affecting competitive advantage are also mostly performed on smaller samples, that is in one work unit or department. Although the variables were the same, this study was conducted on different sample units.

<p class="Style4">The concern as a marketer is to determine the key success factors that create value for products to the consumers in Bangladeshi market with regard to selected IFPs. Doing business based on value delivered gives companies the means to get an equitable return for their efforts. This study focusing on three <strong>IFTs </strong>such as <em>Noodles, Biscuits &amp; C'alces, and Chip, </em>has attempted to determine the key success factors that create value for these products to the customers and retailers. Factors are then thoroughly scanned in terms of their merits and weights on the basis of findings from consumers' and retailers' survey. Finally the higher weighted factors have been considered as the key success factors that create va lue for the IFPs in Bangladeshi market. Study reveals an interesting finding that price is not the most important factor that consumers firstly prioritize in order to buy a brand of instant food product, rather taste and quality is the priority that consumers first consider. Moreover, in addition to taste and quality, packaging, price, advertising and availability of the product have been found to be the most important key success factors for instant food product marketing in Bangladesh. As the economy moves forward living styles with consumption pattern are becoming diverse. The criteria of choosing an instant food product, therefore, have been greatly different and factor dependent Marketers need to pay more attention on marketing strategy formation with regard to taste &amp; quality, packaging and advertising as well as product innovation.</p><p class="Style2"><strong>Key words: </strong>key-success-factors, value creation, instant-food products, Introduction</p>

Abstract. Background: Gatekeeper training is an effective suicide prevention strategy. However, the appropriate targets of online gatekeeping have not yet been clarified. Aim: We examined the association between the outcomes of online gatekeeping using the Internet and the characteristics of consultation service users. Method: An advertisement to encourage the use of e-mail-based psychological consultation services among viewers was placed on web pages that showed the results of searches using suicide-related keywords. All e-mails received between October 2014 and December 2015 were replied to as part of gatekeeping, and the obtained data (responses to an online questionnaire and the content of the received e-mails) were analyzed. Results: A total of 154 consultation service users were analyzed, 35.7% of whom were male. The median age range was 20–29 years. Online gatekeeping was significantly more likely to be successful when such users faced financial/daily life or workplace problems, or revealed their names (including online names). By contrast, the activity was more likely to be unsuccessful when it was impossible to assess the problems faced by consultation service users. Conclusion: It may be possible to increase the success rate of online gatekeeping by targeting individuals facing financial/daily life or workplace problems with marked tendencies for self-disclosure.
