...Human Resource Management Is No More Than ‘Old Wine in New Bottles’. In: Business and Management Human Resource Management Is No More Than ‘Old Wine in New Bottles’. Human resource management is no more than ‘old wine in new bottles’. Discuss. ‘’HRM is regarded by some personnel managers as just a set of initials or old wine in new bottles. It could indeed be no more and no less than another name for PM ’’ ( Armstrong, 1987) First we have to understand the meaning of HRM, but attempts to define HRM precisely have resulted in confusion and contradiction rather than clarity [Price, 1997]. However, according to Storey (1989) Human resource management is a completely different philosophy and an approach contrast to Personnel management. In his view, HRM provides a completely new form of managing personnel and can therefore be regarded as departure from the orthodoxy of traditional personnel management. The normative models of personnel management shows that PM is about selecting, developing, rewarding, and directing employees in such a way that not only will they achieve satisfaction and ‘give of their best’ at work, but by so doing enable the employing organization to achieve its goals. When considering the definition of Human resource management and Personnel management, there are many differences on the perspectives of researchers. Legge (1989) reviewed the definition of a variety of writers. She could come to conclude that there are three features which seems to distinguish HRM...

Founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown, a pharmaceutical salesman, Brown-Forman has grown into a leader of high-quality spirits and wine around the world. Beginning with a single brand, Old Forester, the company acquired Jack Daniel in 1956, Canadian Mist in 1971, Southern Comfort in 1979 and many other premium alcoholic beverage brands throughout its 144 years of existence. In addition, Brown-Forman acquired Lenox in 1983, a producer of crystal, china, and luggage. In the 1990s, Brown-Forman began aggressively marketing internationally and saw a steady increase in its global market share of premium liquors. However, the consumer product division of Brown-Forman did not see the same growth and the company eventually sold the Lenox division in 2005. Today, Brown-Forman is a publically traded company, predominantly with 33 brands of premium wine and spirits sold in 135 countries(I found in the 2014 annual report that it`s 160 countries). With $2 billion of gross profit in 2014 and 4,000 employees worldwide, the company is preparing to increase its global presence and become an international leader in alcoholic beverages...

It will come by anticipating the market, influencing consumer demand, and building on our strategy of sustainable growth.” — Sam Toley, CEO of Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation. “By phasing out the buyback of excess wine and increasing incentives for farmers to uproot their vines, the EC reforms will only bring in the New World’s agro-industry model. We need to protect the age-old European model built on traditional vineyards.” — Jean-Louis Piton, Copa-Cogeca Farmers Association. In 2009, these two views reflected some of the very different sentiments unleashed by the fierce competitive battle raging between traditional wine makers and some new industry players as they fought for a share of the $230 billion global wine market. Many Old World wine producers—France, Italy, and Spain, for example—found themselves constrained by embedded wine-making traditions, restrictive industry regulations, and complex national and European Community legislation. This provided an opportunity for New World wine companies—from Australia, the United States, and Chile, for instance—to challenge the more established Old World producers by introducing innovations at every stage of the value chain.

...1. Introduction Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants and vending machines worldwide (The Coca-Cola Company claims that it is sold in more than 200 countries.). It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, Georgia, and is often referred to simply as Coke or (in European and American countries) as cola, pop, or in some parts of the U.S., soda. Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century. The company produces concentrate, which is then sold to various licensed Coca-Cola bottlers throughout the world. The bottlers, who hold territorially exclusive contracts with the company, produce finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate in combination with filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola in cans and bottles to retail stores and vending machines. Such bottlers include Coca-Cola Enterprises, which is the largest single Coca-Cola bottler in North America and Western Europe. The Coca-Cola Company also sells concentrate for fountain sales to major restaurants and food service distributors. The Coca-Cola Company has, on occasion, introduced other cola drinks under the Coke brand name. The most common of these is Diet Coke, which has become a major diet cola. However...

Since that Australia had made a history of producing and exporting wine. In 1854, a barrel of fortified wine was exported to London, which is the first reported Australian wine export (Wine Australia, 2012).

...Scientific Article DALAT WINE: CHALLENGES IN ESTABLISHING THE NATIONAL WINE BRAND POSITION IS STILL YEARS AHEAD -*Ngo Binh, MA. in Marketing Bui Thi Lan Huong, PhD. I. COMPANY HISTORY 1.1 Wine manufacturing traditional in Dalat (Vietnam) Dalat wine has been popular in Dalat, an attractive city located 1500 m above sea level on Langbian high lands. For long time ago, Dalat wine has been produced traditionally by local producers from blackberries (dau tam). Traditional wine makers in Dalat grow themselves dau tam at Bong Lai area. It is reportedly that the first wine producer was Lafaro, a local company founded by Nguyen Huu Duc in 1974. This company imported a new variety of dau tam to produce its wine. Unfortunately, the company stopped to operate in 1975. Nguyen Chi Man, a 80-year-old man, who did distribute this wine at that time, asked the company's owner this variety of mulberry' seeds to grow, then to make wine for his own consumption and later on for his small business in Dalat. Since then, other traditional wine makers follow him to open wine factories and mulberry plantations, especially in Bong Lai. Because of their small scale, they did not build up particular brand name for their wine. Dalat wine has been considered effectively as a “geographical indication”. Dalat wine has been consumed mostly by Dalat residents. The mind climate of Dalat is the favorable place for consuming red wine, especially in traditional holidays. According to Nguyen Trong Anh Dong, Vice-Secretary...

...recognition (Berman, 2016). But from my point of views, I do not believe that the traditional retailing store could be totally replaced by the online store, but more and more retailing store face to closing. So there are some reasons for those store who were beat to closing by the online shopping. First, mostly they do not have a clear target or the market strategy. Such as the Brent Coope who owns his own business at Westfield’s Albany mall. He paid almost $250,000 a year just for the lease his shop. The online store may just need to pay 1/1000 of that payment. Their strategy is to sell the most fashionable brands like Superdry. But those brands are everywhere online now. So that makes his store are not competitive. Second, the online shopping and the traditional shopping provide different service to the customers. For example, the online shopping could spend less time for the customers and they might also get a better price than the traditional store. But the traditional store could provide some service which could not be replaced by the online shopping such as if you want to buy a shirt, online store has the picture could show the shirt, but nobody can try the picture shirt. So how does the customer know if it suitable for him or not? Finally, the decline is not inevitable, on one hand, the traditional store could provide more working opportunity for the people who hunt for job. On the other hand, most of the European premium brands do not accept the online store. They only provide...
