...2 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC RESEARCH (2 ICBER 2011) PROCEEDING nd nd SUSTAINABLE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE FOR MARKET LEADERSHIP AMONGST THE PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTES IN MALAYSIA Loh Teck Hua KDU University College Business School Section 13 Campus, 76, Jalan Universiti, 46200, Petaling Jaya, Selangor DE ABSTRACT One of Malaysia’s economic goals is to become an education hub for the region. To achieve this, the Malaysian government had liberalised government policies resulting in the proliferation of Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) including private Universities and University Colleges. As competition intensifies it becomes increasingly pertinent to ask “What sustainable competitive advantage should the Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) have to achieve market leadership in the Malaysian education industry?” For the smaller PHEIs, it is a question of survival itself. This paper aims to provide a theoretical study of some of the key strategic activities of the leading PHEIs to answer this question. The literature review covering both foreign and local sources indicates three key factors of sustainable competitive advantage, i.e. branding and image, the physical aspects of higher education including location and facilities, and the mode of delivery. The paper will seek to identify these factors amongst the market leaders to ascertain the validity of the secondary data via critical analysis of their activities. The...

...Introduction In this report I will be comparing two businesses/organisations that I have analysed in task 1: McDonalds and Calderdale College. McDonalds is a business that is part of the private sector that is there to make a profit, whereas Calderdale College is part of the public sector where they mainly provide service and think less or even at all of profit. I will compare the growth strategy, survival strategy, branding and the relationship marketing between the two organisations. Growth Strategy: McDonalds and Calderdale college both have a different approach to growth strategy, due to them being in complete opposite sectors, with McDonalds being a private organisation and the college being part of the public sector, they differentiate in many ways also considering the fact that there purpose are not a like as they are specialists in different occupations. McDonalds needs to grow like every other business out there today, no matter how big your organisation is, there always has to be a growth strategy in the plan of the business. So in order for the McDonalds organisation to grow and compete with other similar businesses who are on the same path as McDonalds, such as: KFC, Costa, Starbucks, and Burger King, they have to do what every other competing organisation is doing in order to grow and consume more customers like going into festive season, as that’s what McDonalds has done in order to grow. McDonalds has participated in the festive season, one of the ways they...

...Will the Web Kill Colleges? In this paper I will examine the article written by Zephyr Teachout entitled “Will the Web Kill Colleges”. The key point of Teachout’s argument is whether or not the Web will kill Colleges. According to the author Zephyr, “undergraduate education is on the verge of a radical reordering” (Chaffee, p.91, para 2). Zephyr states that colleges will be torn apart by the Internets new ways of sharing information. Classes are slowly changing from an in class setting to an online setting that may become permanent over the next 15 years. The author also states “colleges are becoming more virtual” (Chaffee, p.91, para 3). Traditional Colleges will experience a decline in enrollment and since they are depending on tuition this will hurt them tremendously. You don’t have to be in a classroom to do research, ask questions and receive lectures to gain a full learning experience. “The funding of academic research, the culture of the academy and the institution of tenure are all threatened” (Chaffee, p.96, para 4). The evidence used by the author to support his argument is the cost of getting a online degree are relatively inexpensive compared to traditional college. For example, “in state online undergraduate completion degree offered by the East Carolina University costs only $99 per credit hour which is a base of $1200 a year” (Chaffee, p.92, para 2). And the author also believes that the price will “only dive in coming decades as more universities compete...

...L1F15MSMK0007SAIRAZAKIR L1F15MSMK00085/28/2016 | LITERATURE REVIEW: THE CONCEPT OF BRANDING IN HIGHER EDUCATION Bennett and Ali-Choudhury ( 2007 p4 ) suggest that a university brand is “a manifestation of the institution’s features that distinguish it from others , reflect its capacity to satisfy students’ needs, engender trust in its ability to deliver a certain type and level of higher education, and help potential recruits to make wise enrolment decisions”. Stamp (2004) gives a number of factors for higher education (HE) branding agenda,that includes;tuition fees, competitive differentiation, league tables, organizations attaining university status and the miss-match between brand perceptions and delivery. Researchers have to continually ask why some organizations are more successful than others in brand building in order to understand branding.(Urde, 2003). It has been suggested that “Higher Education Institutions need to be managed more and more as corporate brands” (Whelan & Wohlfeil, 2006, p317), but instead of the fact that there is a large number of studies that examined image and reputation, the notion of branding has very little marks on higher education marketing literature (HemsleyBrown and Oplatka, 2006) and empirical papers that relate to HE branding are scarce (Hemsley-Brown and Goonawardana, 2007). Some writers argue that branding as a concept applies to HE as well as to other sectors (Opoku, Abratt and Pitt, 2006)...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following report provides an overview of what encompasses a brand, two theories that can be applied in the assessing the effectiveness of a brand, and the application of these two theories in the critical analysis of a branded event with examples given. The aim is to recognize the significance and great importance placed on branding, in relevance to its effects on the creation of value for consumers, and the success of the associated business. Management and careful monitoring of the application of a brand and the responses it generates from consumers is applied through brand management teams; it aids businesses in controlling the images and measures it conveys to consumers in order to create a positive brand image. Tangible products and services do not encompass brands alone; events also work effectively as a brand, through campaigns, fundraisers, and charitable events. The event through which the two theories of Co-branding and Commitment-Trust Theory are applied in this report is World AIDS Day, a globally renowned annual not-for-profit campaign that is driven by the sheer need for awareness and prevention of HIV. Brand strategies that the brand has employed include “Dance (RED) Save Lives”, musical album collaboration with well-known artists, and the World AIDS Day Australia campaign, whereby each individual state and territory conducts its own fundraising and HIV awareness raising events. Through these events, the brand have been able to successfully...

...THE IMPACT OF COUNTRY ATTRIBUTES ON STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM AND TOURISM DESTINATION PURCHASING DECISIONS ABSTRACT Place branding has become a very competitive arena.
