1.Einleitung
Ziele und Rahmenbedingungen

Was auf dem rumänischen Markt für Mobiltelefonie als Dialog bekannt war, machte eine Metamorphose durch, mit Hilfe der France Telecom. So wurde dem rumänischen Markt im April 2002 Orange vorgestellt. Mit einem Netz das 96,6% der Bevölkerung in Verbindung stellen konnte und die beste Qualität von Telekommunikationsdienstleistungen ist Orange Nummer 1 in seinem Bereich.
1 Juni 2005 ist ein bedeutender Tag sowohl für Orange, als auch für die neu eingetretenen Konkurrenten, Vodafone Group Plc. Das Unternehmen aus Großbritannien, das auf dem Markt durch den Kauf des Unternehmens Connex eintretet, stellt eine grosse Gefahr für Orange dar, da sie die ersten sind, die die Dienstleistungen 3G im Arpil und 3G broadband HSDPA in 2006 in Rumänien einführen. Dieses zusammen mit dem Eintritt eines anderen Unternehmens im Jahre 2005, nähmlich Cosmote, bedrohen die Marktanteile von Orange so dass sie gezwungen werden, sehr gute Kundenbindungsmanagementstrategien zu entwickeln.
Seitdem kämpfen diese 3 Unternehmen um die Wette, indem sie die besten und billigsten Angebote erstellen, aber es ist nicht schwer zu erkennen, dass Orange mehr Wert auf die Behaltung der schon gewonnenen Kunden legt, als auf die Eroberung neuer Kunden.
Welche Kundenbindungsinstrumente Orange Rumänien benützt werden wir in den folgenden Seiten erläutern.

2.Die vier „Tier-Gebühren“

Orange bietet seinen Kunden zwei Hauptdienstleistungen an: die Möglichkeit sich ein Gebühr zu machen oder die schon allen bekannten Telefonkarten. Da der Gewinn bei der zweiten Möglichkeit nur schwer eingeschätzt werden kann, sind die Gebühren der Stützpunkt.
Schon seit dem Beginn hat Orange die Kundensegmentierung als Hauptinstrument in seiner Strategie benützt. “Kundensegmentierung bedeutet, aus der Gesamtheit (potenzieller) Kunden homogene Gruppen zu identifizieren, bei denen die Individuen innerhalb einer Gruppe das gleiche Kaufverhalten zeigen, die Gruppen selbst aber ein sehr unterschiedliches Kaufverhalten haben.”
Nach der Untersuchung des Kundenverhaltens, wurden diese in vier grosse Gruppen eingeteilt für denen vier Arten von Gebühren entworfen wurden, verkörpert von vier Tieren: Delphin, Pinguin, Schmetterling und Panther, jede Art mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften:
• Delphin: „denen die immer mit Freunden, Familienmitglieder und allen anderen sprechen wollen ”werden Bonusminuten im Netzwerk und außerhalb angeboten
• Pinguin: unbeschränkt Telefonieren mit einer bestimmten Anzahl Telefonnummern, daneben Bonusminuten im Netzwerk und außerhalb
• Schmetterling: mehr Minuten im Netzwerk, die ähnlich wie im Prepay geschenkt werden, und 5 MB für Internet auf dem Handy
• Panther: Für diejenigen die auf verschiedenen Wegen kommunizieren möchten - mit Hilfe ihrer Stimme, Sms und Internet ; dieses Gebühr richtet sich eher an Business-Kunden
Wenn diese Aufteilung nicht persönlich genug für einigen Kunden scheint, haben Orange an eine noch stärkere Individualisierung gedacht: jedes Gebühr wird in anderen Unterarten aufgeteilt, die sich durch Preis und Quantität der angebotenen Dienstleistungen unterscheiden.
Was Orange damit wohl sagen will? Vielleicht: “Wir haben ein Angebot für jeden. ”

3.Orange Thank You - eine langfristige Beziehung

Das „Thank You“ Programm ist entstanden um den Orangekunden für ihre Treue zu danken. Abhängig vom Typ des Abonnements, von dem Zeitpunkt ab dem man Kunde ist und von dem Wert der monatlichen Rechnung werden die Telefonbenutzer mit „Thank You“ Punkte, kostenlose Minuten, magische Telefonnummern und „Thank You“ Handys belohnt.
• Punkte - abhängig vom Wert der Rechnung
Abhängig davon ob man Silver-, Gold- oder Platinumkunde ist, stellen die „Thank You“ Punkte 15%, 20% oder 40% von dem Wert der Rechnung dar. Diese sind 3 Jahre gültig. 10 Punkte sind 1 Euro Wert. Mittels dieser Punkte kann man sich Handys zu speziellen „Thank You“ Preisen kaufen oder jedwelche GSM Produkte.
• Minuten - abhängig vom Zeitpunkt ab dem man Orangekunde ist und von dem Abotyp
Orange bietet kostenlose Minuten an. Diese werden nach 8 Monate, nach 2, 3 und 4 Jahren verliehen. Desto länger die Beziehung Kunde- Unternehmen existiert, desto gröβer ist die Anzahl der „Thank You“ Minuten. Zusätzlich bekommt man auch Geburtstagsminuten welche man nach 8 Monaten erhält.
• Magische Nummern - abhängig von dem Zeitpunkt an dem man abonniert ist
Wenn man ein Abo schon seit einem Jahr abgeschlossen hat, kann man sich eine magische Nummer auswählen. Das bedeutet dass man dieser Person mit 1 Cent/Minute telefonieren kann. Wenn man ein 3 Jahre alter Kunde ist, kann man sich 2 magische Nummern auswählen und wenn man ein 5 Jahre alter Benutzer ist, hat man 3 solche Nummern.
• Handys zu „Thank You“ Preisen
Falls man sich entscheidet sein Abo zu verlängern, kann man, wenn man Silver-, Gold-, oder Platinumkunde ist, Handys zu speziellen „Thank You“ Preisen kaufen. Die Goldkunden haben zusätzlich noch 15% Rabatt auf diese Preise und die Platinumkunden sogar 20%. Um von diesen Rabatten zu verfügen, darf man nicht in den letzten 18 Monaten ein anderes Handy von Orange gekauft haben.

4.Orange PrePay – kein Abo oder Rechnung nötig

Einer der meist benutzten und erfolgreichsten Service von Orange auf den rumänischen Markt ist die PrePay Service, welche durch die SIM Kartelle repräsentiert wird.
Warum bevorzügen viele Kunde diese Art von Service oder besser gefragt wie hat Orange so gemacht ,um so viele Kunden PrePay service zu benutzen?
Natürlich hat Orange die Markt sehr gut analysiert und hat verstanden, wie wichtig ist eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten/Optionen anzubieten, um so besser und effizient Lösung für die Bedürfnissbefriedigung oder das Vorlieben meherer Kunden zu finden.
Auf den rumänischen Markt ist die Kundschaft nach verschiedene Gruppen(wie: Alter) und Kategorien(wie: Jobs ) segmentiert, und deshalb ist Orange auch mit einer grossen Vielfahlt von Optionen. So brachte Orange unter PrePay Service 5 neue PreisPlane(SIM Kartelle) wie folgt:
1. Start- die niedriegsten Preisen mit einem Liebliengszahl
2. My Time- die niedriegsten Preisen in deiner Liebliengsstunden
3. My Group- 5 Liebliengszahl mit niedriegsten Preis
4. My Orange- in Orangenetz mit den niedriegsten Preis sprechen
5. Music – SMS, Musik rund um die Uhr und Internet auch
Ausserdem gibt es auch andere atraktive Optionen die immer mehr am Bedeutung gewinnt.Ein neues Angebot ist die Geschenk-Kartelle auf den rumänischen Markt gebracht,indem man eines Anderen viele Minute (egal ob PrePay oder Abo) als Geschenk anbieten kann.

Orange benutzt verschiedene Arten von Werbung für die Förderung PrePay Service auf den ganzen Markt unter denen auch die freie Distribution von kostenlose PrePay SIM Kartelle. Orange war Sponsor für verschiede Events wie Partys, Konzerte und andere , wo alle haben free Sim Kartelle bekommt. Auch zu erwähnen wäre, dass Orange hat tausende von Sim Kartelle gratis den Studenten und den Schulern von Lyzeum geteillt. So viele von diesen sind heute auch schon Kunden von Orange.

5.Orange Young – Alles ist es leichter!

“ Orange Young würde im Zusammenhang mit dem Verhältniss den jungen Leute entwickelt. Mit Hilfe von diesen neuen Optionen von Orange Young, werden wir uns unsere Position als Leader des Marktes für die junge Kunden versichern.” Oana Comănescu, Content & Young Segment Manager Orange Rumänien.

Orange Young Service ist für diejenige Kategorie der Kundschaft mit Älter zwischen 14-26 Jahren, also die Jugendlichen. Wenn man diese Kriterien erfüllt,also besser gesagt wenn du ein Beweiss zeigst, kann man eine Reihe von Bonuses, Optionen, Preisplänne benützen. Orange Young ist gültig für Abos, aber auch für Orange PrePay. Die Preisen sind kleiner und man kann zusammen mit maximum 9 Freunden eine Orange Young Gruppe machen. Zusammen können diese Freunde mehrere freie Minuten und SMS haben, die insbesonders einen grossen Vorteil für Jugendlichen ist.

6.Schlussfolgerung

Es ist klar, dass Orange in dieser Zeit viel Wert auf Kundenbindung setzt und darin viel Investiert. Auf einem Markt, der sowieso seit langem gesättigt ist, ist Kundenbindung vielleicht die einzige Chance seinen Umsatz zu erhöhen, oder wenigstens auf dem selben Niveau zu halten. Sowohl Orange, als auch Vodafone, die zwei größten Mobilanbieter Rumäniens, sehen Kundenbindung als ihre letzte Chance gegen den zahlreichen Angeboten von dem Neuling Cosmote stand zu halten.
Jedoch bringen nicht alle Investitionen in diesem Bereich auch die gewünschten Ergebnisse. Die neue Kampagne von Orange, in der jedem Abotyp ein Tier zugeordnet wird, wirkt verwirrerisch auf den Kunden. Diese Art von Rebranding fand das erste Mal in England statt und hat rieseige Kosten produziert, genau wie in Rumänien. Seltsam ist die Tatsache, dass, obwohl man wusste, dass diese Kampagne ein Reinfall in allen Länder war, man sich trotzdem entschlossen hat auch hierzulande durchzuführen. Man hat herausgestellt, dass der Kunde eher von den Tieren verwirrt wird, anstatt ihn anzuziehen, da es schwer ist, sich zu merken welches Tier zu welchem Abotyp passt oder nicht. Viel angemessener ist es, wie zum Beispiel Cosmote, dem Kunden genau zu sagen, was man für jedes Abo bekommt.
Seit dem Moment, ab welchem man den Mobilanbieter wechseln kann, ohne dass man auch seine Telefonnummer wechseln muss, ist Kundenbindung noch wichtiger geworden. Früher, als man seine Telefonnummer nicht wechseln konnte, war es zum Beispiel, für einen Geschäftsmann ziemlich schwer von Orange zu Cosmote zu wechseln, obwohl er da viel bessere Angebote hatte, da es ihm bewusst war, dass er somit den Kontakt zu verschiedenen Kunden und Partnern verlieren konnte. Jetzt gibt es diese Barriere nicht mehr, so dass viele der Orange- und Vodafonekunden zu Cosmote gewechselt sind.
Es ist eindeutig, dass Orange in letzter Zeit vieles getan hat, um die Treue seiner Kunden zu gewinnen, jedoch wird es sich in der nächsten Zeit zeigen, ob diese Maßnahmen auch den erwünschten Erfolg bringen. Auf jeden Fall, eines ist sicher: die Kunden werden diejenigen sein, die von diesen Kapagnen und diesem „Krieg“, der zwischen den Mobilanbietern herrscht, wo die Waffen in Form von freie Minuten, SMS-Nachrichten, Internetzugang und vielen anderen Vorteilen sind, die davon profitieren werden.

Orange Cake

...Orange Cake Ingredients 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (180gm) 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1 pinch of salt (for whipping egg whites) 1/2 cup butter/margarine, at room temperature (112gm) 3/4 cup sugar, grinded (150gm) 2 large eggs (or 3 small ones), at room temperature juice from 1 orange (one third of a cup) zest from 1 orange (about 1 tbsp.) 1 tsp. vanilla essence Simple Orange Glaze Ingredients 1 cup icing sugar 1/4 tsp. orange zest (optional) 4-5 tbsp. freshly squeezed orange juice Instructions  First, separate the yolks from the egg whites. Set aside in different bowls. Grate the zest off the orange using a zester or the fine plane of your grater. Take care to ONLY grate the orange, not the white part (pith). The white part is very bitter and will change the taste of your cake, so keep turning the orange as you zest it. Preheat the oven to 170C. Grease and line an 8" round pan. Beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Next add the orange juice, vanilla essence and orange zest and beat. Add the flour and beat it in. Set aside. Wash the whisk attachments and dry them well. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy, then add a pinch of salt to them and keep beating until the egg whites form stiff peaks. The salt helps to stabilize the egg whites. Add a third of the egg whites into the cake batter and stir it in with a spatula or wooden spoon...

Orange Revolution

...Orange Revolution The idea of good government, freedom, and independence formulated a vast revolution in Ukraine. The Orange Revolution began late November 2004 and ended January 2005 when Ukrainians protested and overturned a fraudulent presidential election. Acts of civil disobedience, sit-ins, and general strikes caused the Ukraine’s Supreme Court to annul the presidential election results and order a revote. The Revolution was a great success and mandated a change to the Ukrainian constitution that shifted powers from the presidency to the parliament. Leader of the revolution, President Yushchenko was leader of the Our Ukraine faction in the Ukrainian parliament and a former Prime Minister (1999-2001). During the revolution he was able to keep a protest of hundreds and thousands of people amazingly peaceful. His political camp and supporters used the color orange to signify his election campaign which later represented the series of events to be called the Orange Revolution. His opponent was Viktor Yanukovych who was the sitting Prime Minister and also largely supported by Leonid Kuchma, the outgoing President of Ukraine who already served two terms in the office and was prohibited from running himself due to the constitutional term limits. During the 2004 election, Yanukovych had the support from the outgoing president’s administration that had power over government and state apparatus. In September 2004, one month before the first round of votes,...

A Clockwork Orange

...He had a devious smirk behind soft blue eyes. That was the first impression of the main character, Alex, in A Clockwork Orange. Alex is the leader of a gang of terrorists. The four men in the group seem to get off on a good time raping women, stealing, and beating on innocent people. They all seem to work together in collaboration to portray chaos, but Alex is the worst of them all. Alex treats his other three members as if they are below him and he is the tyrant of them all. Alex seemed to have one weakness: classical music. Classical music is the powerful back ground to most of the movie, and the actions seem to sync with the music dramatically. This gang was used to routine. Their routine was to go to the milk bar and scope out who they plan to assault next. They would go door to door begging for help as if one of them got hurt, and then force their entry. A writer and his wife were the first victim of the gang and were completely helpless to Alex’s mastermind. They raped his wife as the husband was forced to watch helplessly. They were able to get away on were just looking forward to the next occurrence. The woman of their next plot was a lot cleverer and did not fall for the boy’s begging at the door act. She implied that she was not comfortable letting a stranger in, but the determination of evil that ran in the boy’s mind did not let them give up. Alex simply broke into the home and got into a fight with the woman when she tried to resist. This brawl led...

She is smart but childish at the same time, that can only mean that she is older than 10 years, I would say that she where a teenager, because her grandparents where still alive. The girl, that we do not know the name of, often hides under the bed when strangers come by her grand parents house, where she lives. Every time strangers come by, she would say these words to her dog: “A world outside” (P 1 L 8), the dog is a bit redundant in the text, but still an object that is used to support the fact that she is a bit more like other people.

In that paper I will talk about the long term effects of Agent Orange that was used during the Vietnam War between 1961-1977. I will examine the effects it had on Vietnam people right away and in the long run. I will also talk about the political side of things and why it would be used in the first place. A brief history will be given on what it is, how it was made, how it was transported and sprayed over the Vietnam jungles, why things reached these extremes, who was behind the idea, how has the world responded in order to help those affected, and etc. I will also try and include the opinions of American and international populations on this controversial topic. The reason why I picked this topic is because I am always interested in controversial topics that humans have witnessed throughout history. These topics rise out of many occasions and especially during the times of war. Agent Orange is one of those topics because people have been arguing for many decades on both, negative and some positive, sides of it. It has caused a great deal of suffering and pain to those affected. It continues to have a tremendous impact on newborns and those people have yet to be refunded for their struggles even though its not going to...

A Clockwork Orange

...Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" is an ideological mess, a paranoid right-wing fantasy masquerading As an Orwellian warning. It pretends to oppose the police state and forced mind control, but all it really does is celebrate the nastiness of its hero, Alex. I don't know quite how to explain my disgust at Alex (whom Kubrick likes very much, as his visual style reveals and as we shall see in a moment). Alex is the sort of fearsomely strange person we've all run across a few times in our lives -- usually when he and we were children, and he was less inclined to conceal his hobbies. He must have been the kind of kid who tore off the wings of flies and ate ants just because that was so disgusting. He was the kid who always seemed to know more about sex than anyone else, too -- and especially about how dirty it was. Alex has grown up in "A Clockwork Orange," and now he's a sadistic rapist. I realize that calling him a sadistic rapist -- just like that -- is to stereotype poor Alex a little. But Kubrick doesn't give us much more to go on, except that Alex likes Beethoven a lot. Why he likes Beethoven is never explained, but my notion is that Alex likes Beethoven in the same way that Kubrick likes to load his sound track with familiar classical music -- to add a cute, cheap, dead-end dimension. Now Alex isn't the kind of sat-upon, working-class anti-hero we got in the angry British movies of the early 1960s. No effort is made to explain his inner workings or take apart his society...

...A Clockwork Orange The movie starts out with the boys sitting around drinking in the bar. When Alex and his gang leave the bar, they go on a crime spree that involves mugging, robbery, a gang fight, auto theft, breaking and entering, and rape. The boys travel to the countryside with their stolen car, break into a cottage and beat up the man inside before raping his wife while making him watch. They then head back to the Korova, where they fight with each other. Alex, who loves classical music, becomes angry at Dim when Dim ridicules an opera that Alex likes. Alex punches Dim in the face, which encourages the others to turn against their arrogant leader. The next time they go out, they break into an old woman’s house. She calls the police, and before Alex can get away, Dim hits him in the eye with a chain and runs away with the others. The police apprehend Alex and take him to the station, where he later learns that the woman he beat and raped during the earlier robbery has died. Alex is sentenced to fourteen years in prison. At first, prison is difficult for him. The guards are heartless and cruel, and several of the other prisoners want to rape him. After a few years, though, prison life becomes easier. He befriends the prison chaplain, who notices Alex’s interest in the Bible. The chaplain lets Alex read in the chapel while listening to classical music, and Alex pores over the Old Testament, delighting in the sex, drinking, and fighting he finds in its pages. Alex is selected...

A Clockwork Orange

...The ability to choose between good and evil is something that we never really think about too often, or in any real detail. Even so; this decision that comes naturally to most, is something everyone must make throughout their life in order to guide their actions and control their future. This ability to choose, no matter what that choice may be or the outcome of that choice, displays a person’s power as an individual. Any attempts to control or influence that choice will, in turn, govern one's free will and enslave them. In the novel A Clockwork Orange, the author Anthony Burgess uses symbolism through imagery, the characterization of Alex, and a first person narrative point of view to show that without the ability to choose between good or evil, one becomes a slave. Symbolism through imagery explains how Alex's ability to choose between good and evil, is his ascendancy over the weak and innocent. The first of these symbols is the music that he loves to listen to. Classical music is the only thing that Alex's has ever truly cared for. The music represents an element of his choice and free will. When his ability to make choices is taken away from him, in an attempt to make him better, he is unintentionally forced to lose his passion for music, by which he exclaims, "And all the time the music got more and more gromky, like it was all a deliberate torture, O my brothers“. This music that once represented his freedom to choose is gone now, and he has been left without any reason...

Agent Orange

...methods of modern warfare cause far greater devastation on the environment. The progression of warfare from chemical weapons to nuclear weapons has increasingly created stress on ecosystems and the environment such as Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. Agent Orange is one of the potent herbicides used as a defoliant by the U.S. military in its herbicidal warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam War. The name Agent Orange comes from the containers that it was stored in, which had an orange stripe. The U.S. military deployed almost 20 million gallons of herbicides from 1962 to 1971. Among these substances, Agent Orange was the most widely used herbicide, around 11 million gallons. The Vietnamese had the geographical advantages so they used Agent Orange, a mixture of toxins, to remove leaves from trees and bushes, leaving the enemies more exposed. However, the persistent nature of dioxins, erosion caused by loss of tree cover and loss of seedling forest stock meant that reforestation was difficult or nearly impossible in many areas. It has also been linked to many health problems in Vietnam veterans and Vietnamese civilians which caused thousands to die from conditions likely brought on by exposure to Agent Orange. Thus, Agent Orange has disrupted ecological equilibrium. When dioxin is not contained, it seeps into the ground and the groundwater sources, polluting the local ecology and becoming part of the food chain. When people eat animals and plants...

Clockwork Orange

...A man who cannot choose ceases to be a man."—Anthony Burgess A Clockwork Orange is a novel about moral choice and free will. Alex's story shows what happens when an individual's right to choose is robbed for the good of society. The first and last chapters place Alex in more or less the same physical situation but his ability to exercise free will leads him to diametrically opposite choices—good versus evil. The phrase, "what's it going to be then, eh?," echoes throughout the book; only at the end of the novel is the moral metamorphosis complete and Alex is finally able to answer the question, and by doing so affirms his freedom of choice. The capacity to choose freely is the attribute that distinguishes humans from robots; thus the possibility of true and heartfelt redemption remains open even to the most hardened criminal. A Clockwork Orange is a parable that reflects the Christian concept of sin followed by redemption. Alex's final and free choice of the good, by leaving behind the violence he had embraced in his youth, brings him to a higher moral level than the forced docility of his conditioning, which severed his ability to choose and grow up. The question, "what's it going to be then, eh," is asked at the beginning of each section of the novel. In the first and third part it is asked by Alex, but in the second part it is asked by the prison chaplain. The answer does not come until the end of the novel when Alex grows up and exercises his ability to choose...

Clockwork Orange

...A Clockwork Orange abandons normal 'language' (which Modernists believed couldn't always convey meaning anyway) and is written in 'Nadsat' (which means teenager). It is a slang that is spoken by the teenagers at the time. Burgess uses approximately two-hundred and fifty 'nadsat' words (most of which have Russian roots) to convey his story. This gives the reader a sense of intimacy with Alex and his 'droogs' (friends) due to the fact that the adults in the novel can't understand what they are govoreeting (saying). There is also a disruption of the linear flow of narrative aside from this private language; Alex ('Our Humble Narrator') tells the story in a remembering type sequence, but often interjects with thoughts or questions posed directly at the reader. Aside from the strange language that is found on the pages of this novel, one of the most obvious modernistic features is Burgess's ability to shock. There are many different scenes that are quite disturbing and violent. Alex's propensity to rape young girls (ten years old), and his absolute joy in the sight of blood and pain.
