Nutricosmetics: Designing effective marketing strategies to exit the niche an...Target Research
Negli scorsi cinque anni, il lancio di nuovi prodotti e il cambiamento nello stile di vita dei consumatori hanno fatto emergere un crescente interesse nei confronti del concetto di “beauty from within” (“bellezza dall’interno”). Il fenomeno, a cui le aziende hanno risposto con la creazione della “nutricosmetica” (integratori e cibi per la bellezza di pelle, capelli e unghie), è basato sull’idea che il consumo di specifici nutrienti possa agire sul nostro aspetto esteriore.
L’obiettivo di questa ricerca è di indagare come il rapporto dei consumatori con il mondo della bellezza sta evolvendo e rispondere quindi alla seguente domanda:
“Quali sono le strategie di marketing che le aziende dovrebbero adottare per introdurre nuovi segmenti di mercato all’uso di nutricosmetici?”
Come cambiano le abitudini del consumatore quando la tecnologia incontra il lusso?
Il mondo dell’hi fi è caratterizzato oggigiorno da alta specializzazione, alte prestazioni e, soprattutto, forte competizione. Le aziende più forti che producono e commercializzano Luxury Headphones sono poche e, di anno in anno, cercano di aggiudicarsi nuovi vantaggi competitivi e fette di mercato. Ciò che le differenzia, aldilà degli attributi tecnici e le prestazioni, è sostanzialmente il posizionamento del loro brand sul mercato e, di conseguenza, nella mente del consumatore.
Il futuro dei ricavi da gara nel calcio italiano un'analisi empiricaTarget Research
Con il presente progetto Chiara Cappellari si propone di comprendere quali siano le cause del fenomeno e quali possano essere le azioni manageriali da implementare per contrastare il basso riempimento degli stadi del nostro Paese.
Da una prima analisi è emerso che i prezzi attuali risultano essere mediamente elevati per i consumatori, e che dunque sarebbe opportuno per il management ridefinire il proprio sistema prezzi, sia in relazione al singolo biglietto sia con riferimento alla creazione di nuovi “pacchetti”.
L’obiettivo ultimo della nostra ricerca è quello di realizzare una campagna di sensibilizzazione che spinga i futuri proprietari ad adottare un amico a quattro zampe in canile piuttosto che acquistarlo in un allevamento.
Il nostro obiettivo non vuole però essere quello di “boicottare” gli allevamenti. In questi, infatti, i cuccioli crescono con la massima attenzione, cura e amore da parte degli allevatori. Ma è proprio per questo motivo che l’urgenza di far uscire un cane da un canile è superiore a quella dell’allevamento. I canili, infatti, sono spesso vere e proprie prigioni per loro, soprattutto a causa del sovraffollamento di animali che vivono al loro interno.
In questo lavoro è stato analizzato il settore della domotica in Italia e attraverso l'utilizzo di tecniche statistiche, e attraverso la creazione di cluster di intervistati, si è indagato quali siano attualmente i driver più importanti che guidano la scelta di un impianto domotico.

Many theories and research studies have been written regarding consumers’ behaviors related to food. Although several authors have focused their attention on the impact that Descriptive food names have on food evaluations and sales, the literature lacks evidence about the impact that names have on ice-cream taste, quality, associations, recommendation rate and sales. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to fill this gap by investigating the impact of ice-cream flavor names. As analyzed in the first part of this thesis, the majority of the literature reviewed agrees that giving a Descriptive name to a food allows to enhance sensory evaluations, as well as increasing consumers’ satisfaction and food sales. Five research hypotheses are formulated starting from some literature findings and transferring them to the ice-cream context. To test these hypotheses, a 2-weeks in-store experiment was conducted in RivaReno, one of the major Milanese ice-cream parlors. The experiment took place in September 2016 and the main objective was to analyze the effects on ice-cream evaluations after the manipulation of the wording used in labels. During the two weeks of experiment, a survey was administrated to consumers who chose one of the observed flavors, either labelled with Descriptive or Basic name. Finally, at the end of the two weeks the analysis consisted in the evaluation and interpretation of data gathered both through the survey, and through the sales monitoring, by comparing the results obtained for each flavor when presented with Descriptive and Basic names. The experiment allowed to confirm all the research hypotheses, thus suggesting that naming an ice-cream flavor with a Descriptive name have a positive impact on ice-cream evaluations and sales. Finally, this thesis provides some suggestions to managers operating in the ice-cream industry, in a way that it will be possible for them to benefit from this research, maximizing their products’ evaluations and sales by leveraging the name variable.

I fantastici personaggi creati da menti geniali e fuori dall’ordinario, acquistano, col passare del tempo, sempre più spazio nella nostra realtà, attirando target di ogni tipo, dai bambini agli adulti, dai nerd ai neofiti. Sono molti i sostenitori che, chi su carta e chi al cinema, contribuiscono a rendere il proprio eroe parte della loro vita seguendo ogni sua avventura e partecipando attivamente alla sua crescita. In quest’ambito in continua evoluzione, due colossi si spalleggiano per prevalere l’uno sull’altro.
Marvel Cinematic Universe e DC Extended Universe sono due diverse facce di una stessa medaglia: il mondo cinematografico dei supereroi.

2. Introduction and Research Goals
In the last decades companies are experiencing a rapidly changing environment
and this involves an increasing competition in attracting the best candidates
and retaining the best employees. In the so called War for talent (Michaels,
Handfield-Jones & Axerold, 2001) a big labour demand is facing a small supply of
the most talented people that nowadays are a key element for firms’ competitive
advantage.
For these reasons, but also for reducing internal costs is very important for
companies to find and use the most effective Recruitment and selection
procedures in order to reach the best suitable candidates and convince them to
work for their reality.
Indeed the line between Recruiting and Marketing is fading, and the first one is a
necessary tool to increase firms’ Employer Branding.
The aim of this work is to analyze empirically the relation between Recruitment
and Selection Process and job seekers’ intention to apply for a job opportunity
and the impact on the Employer branding of the company.
2
3. Literature Review
A lot of scholars have been analyzing the effects of job characteristics in motivating existing employees, so the same
concept had been applied on potential employees influencing company employer brand equity (Chapman & Borodenko,
2006). Schmidt, Chapman & Jones found out that companies that focus their recruitment advertisements on applicants’
needs, attract more qualified candidates than companies who focus on candidates’ abilities.
There are three job design characteristics that affect applicants attitudes (Humphrey, Nahrgang & Morgeson, 2007) and
their decision to apply:
-Job Motivators (Skill variety, autonomy, career advancement..),
-Social Components ( feedbacks, social support, work life balance..),
-Work context ( Physical needs, job security..).
Many studies on Recruiters ‘ ability to influence candidates decision to carry on the selection process, showed that
friendliness and warmth are the key drivers of recruitment effectiveness. Since they are representing the organization,
recruiters are signaling to the potential employees how working environment will look like.
A study conducted by LinkedIn’s Hiring Solutions demonstrated that:
• “A strong company brand doesn’t hurt in attracting top talents”
• “Overall brand impacts job consideration, though not as much as employer brand”
• “Investment in employer brand drives savings in recruitment and retention”
3
4. The research focuses on two groups of analysis: graduating
students(in Master of Science) and Middle/Top managers.
The work has been developed in 4 different steps that have been
applied for both samples:
• Semi-structured one-to-one Interviews;
• Quantitative Surveys (CAWI method);
• Quantitative analysis (Full Profile Conjoint Analysis, Cluster
Analysis and Linear Regression);
• Managerial Implications.
Methodology
4
5. The first step of analysis has been to realize semi-structured one-to-one interviews in order to
understand which are the key variables to analyze and investigate them deeper.
• 5 in-depth interviews (ca 25 minutes each one)
• 4 Graduating students at Bocconi (Management, Marketing Management), 1 at MFI (Retail
Management)
The main findings of this phase are the following:
• Application channels: University Job gate is the most used and the most efficient tool to find an
internship/job;
• Job Description and Brand are the first two attributes they look at when choosing to apply;
• Application moment: too many pages to fill with information or a motivation letter to upload
could change their decision to apply;
• First step selection method: they prefer one-to-one interview rather than group assessment
• Recruiters’ attitude during the first step of selection affects informants’ motivation to step
forward in the selection process and the employer brand image.
• Multiple selection steps: they usually increase their motivation to step forward in the selection
process.
• All the informants affirmed that they find themselves without a feedback after the interview,
and this deeply affected the reliability of the company.
Qualitative research : Graduating Students

6. In order to understand middle and top managers opinions on recruitment and selection steps it
has been realized
• 5 in-depth interviews
• Managers in multinational companies of different sectors (Food&Beverage, Automotive,
Industry, Consulting), in different functions (Marketing, Sales, Logistics, Finance) that live in
different parts of Italy (North-east, Centre).
The main findings from the interviews have been:
• Application Channels: they affirmed that LinkedIn and self-application are the main used and
efficient ways to apply.
• Informants said that the most important variables when applying for an opportunity are the
Professional category, in terms of an higher Salary and Contract Level, and the Brand.
• Application moment: some of them find useless to fill long pages form with information and
sometimes they changed their mind in the middle of the application process.
• The majority of informants said they experienced a difference between Job description and
real job activities and this really affects employer brand image.
• All the informants experienced a missing feedback after the interview and they all agree that
it deeply affect in a negative way the image of the company as an employer.
Qualitative research : Middle/Top Managers
6
7. Quantitative Analysis on quantitative surveys on 103 graduating
students and 103 middle/top managers, involves the following steps :
Ø Full Profile Conjoint Analysis in order to identify the variables
which affect job seekers’ intention to apply for a job opportunity;
Ø Socio-demographic segmentation of candidates’ intention to
apply;
Ø Simulation Attempt of a Choice process;
Ø Cluster Analysis, in order to identify cluster of job seekers with the
same perception;
Ø Linear Regression to understand how some recruitment and
selection practices have an impact on the Employer brand image.
Quantitative Research
7
8. • Conjoint analysis is one of the most used market research advanced techniques
since it provides the researcher with a tool to predict consumer/user choice and
perception of different product/service attributes.
• It also makes possible to identify attributes’ importance level driving people in
making trade-offs choosing their likelihood level for different options that have
many attributes, expressed in different levels, in order to get their preference
evaluation.
• In this work this analysis has been used in an innovative way since it has been
applied to a process and practices involved in the recruitment and selection
procedure.
• In order to understand how different variables that are usually expressed in Job
Advertisements or communicated in the first phone contact influence graduating
students’ and middle/top managers intention to apply for a job opportunity, 8“job
advertisement options” (with 7 attributes each one divided in two levels) have
been realized and it has been asked the respondents to indicate how much every
option was attractive in a range 1-9.
Full Profile Conjoint Analysis

11. Conjoint results : Middle/Top Manager
“Professional Category” is the most relevant attribute with an averaged Importance score of 32,578. A higher
Professional Category, which includes higher salary and professional level, has a positive impact on the whole Job
advertisement (+0,908)
“Brand” is the second most relevant attribute is with score of 25,610. A famous brand has a positive influence on
the Job offer (+0,714)
“Job Activities” is the third relevant attribute (15,331). (increasing current job activities has a positive utility of on
the whole offer. (+0,427)

positive combination of higher Job activities, with a famous brand and with a Salary&Level contract higher than the last one.
In analyzing the impact of some practices on Employer brand image, linear regressions showed the Importance of missing feedback after an interview and
current employees opinion as statistically relevant variables in changing candidates’ opinion on a company as an employer.

Cluster Analysis : Graduating Students
To identify groups of individuals that share the same perceptions on the attributes
used in the conjoint analysis a TwoStep Cluster Analysis has been run.
4 clusters of graduating students have been identified within managerial
implications:
1. “Permanent Contract Lovers”, where the“Hiring Possibilities” attribute is the
most importantàcompanies should increase the hiring possibilities after an
internship experience
2. “Meticulous People”, where a Detailed Job description seems to be the most
relevant factor àcompanies should be more detailed in describing job activities
in the job advertisement;
3. “Fame&Money Addicted”, where Brand and Salary scored the highest rate
àFirms should offer a balanced salary and increase their brand awareness
4. “Selection sensitive”, that gave a lot of importance to the first selection method
à organizations should avoid using Group assessment to select people and
choosing one-to-one interview in order not to keep away a relevant part of
candidates.

Cluster Analysis : Middle/Top Managers
To identify groups of individuals that share the same perceptions on the attributes
used in the conjoint analysis a TwoStep Cluster Analysis has been run.
4 clusters of Middle/Top managers have been identified within managerial
implications:
1. “Brand Addicted”, where the Brand has the highest score, àcompanies should
invest a lot in increasing the strength of their brand;
2. “Money and Home Lovers”, where the Professional Category and current
Location are the most relevant àfirms should consider that they are looking for
an higher role but they are not available to move to another city, so investing
just in a balanced Salary and contract Level won’t be enough;
3. “Status Achievers”, where Professional Category seems to be the most important
attribute àcompanies should be very competitive in offering a very good salary
and contract position in order to reach this kind of candidates.
4. “Choosy People” , where there are high values for almost half of the attributes à
companies should really invest in all main attributes in order to be attractive for
this cluster.

16. Conclusions
To sum up, referring to graduating students or middle/top managers
should involve different external communication means, and give
importance to different attributes, in order to be effective in attracting the
best candidates.
However, in both cases, companies should start from job seekers’ point of
view, and not just from the need to fill a gap in the organization chart.
As marketing theories start from consumers’ point of view, also
recruitment and selection and employer branding practices should start
from the kind of person they want to hire.
In this way, not only he/she will probably be more motivated but it will also
increase its personal performance, with a positive effect on company’s
profits.
