This study aims to evaluate acer’s success in establishing and ensuring the functioning of the internal energy market, both from acer’s and its stakeholders’ (energy regulators and energy traders in the eu member states) perspective. The paper includes the results of interviews with nine national regulatory authorities (nras) and ten energy traders from the eu member states. This research revealed that, based on their perception, acer is actually crucial for the operation of the internal market. In addition, nras and energy traders mostly agree that the eu has a nearly functional internal energy market and that acer is vitally important for the functioning of the internal market.","PeriodicalId":30026,"journal":{"name":"Managing Global Transitions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47145946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aligning the product portfolio with business strategy is, however, seen challenging.Hence, an approach for ppm target setting over life-cycle is needed. A single-case study was conducted to examine the relationship between product portfolio management and business strategy to propose a practical approach for defining product portfolio management strategic targets and key performance indicators over life-cycle. Themain results include proposing ppm target setting to cover horizontally all product lifecycle phases and vertically the product structure, including both commercial and technical aspects. ppm strategic targets and key performance indicators over life-cycle through four success factors are proposed. In addition, a new tool for product portfolio analysis is introduced. The study contributes to the previous studies on aligning product portfolio management with business strategy by providing a practical example.","PeriodicalId":30026,"journal":{"name":"Managing Global Transitions","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44927596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study contributes to the literature by examining whether South Africa, as arguably Africa’s most developed economy, converges towards the growth of her main trading partners (i.e. Belgium, Botswana, China, Germany, India, Japan, Mozambique, Namibia, Netherlands, South Korea, United Arab Emirates (UAE), United Kingdom (UK), United States (US), Zambia and Zimbabwe). To this end, we examine the integration properties of per capita GDP differences between South Africa and each of her trading partners and we particularly employ unit root testing procedures which are robust to ESTAR-type nonlinearities and unobserved smooth structural breaks. Our empirical evidence points to convergence between South Africa and Belgium, Botswana, China, Germany, India, Japan, Mozambique, Namibia, Netherlands, South Korea, the UAE, the UK and the US but not with Zambia and Zimbabwe.","PeriodicalId":30026,"journal":{"name":"Managing Global Transitions","volume":"18 1","pages":"25-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44525330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
