Bakgrund: I Telecom tillverkas slutna system som inte är kompatibla med olika tillverkares produkter. Telia mfl har tagit fram en öppen standard arkitektur men står samtidigt inför frågan hur detta påverkar affärsmodellerna i Telecom. Syfte: Hur förändras affärsmodellerna då en öppen standard arkitektur införs? Avgränsningar: Uppsatsen fokuserar på nätoperatörer. Genomförande: En kvalitativ studie med empiriskt materialet från rapporter och forskningsartiklar samt från samtal med experter i branschen.

På tjänstemarknaden idag finns många alternativ av tjänster att välja mellan som alla tillfredställer samma kundbehov. En typisk bransch där detta gäller är Telecom branschen där alla aktörer erbjuder liknande varor och tjänster för att kommunicera. Av denna anledning är kvalitet något som särskiljer aktörerna åt och blir därför ett viktigt konkurrensmedel, om inte det viktigaste. Vi har i denna uppsats därför valt att undersöka vad kunderna anser om en Telecom butiks tjänstekvalitet.Tjänsteforskarna menar att tjänstekvalitet är kundupplevd kvalitet. Kunderna bildar sin kvalitetsuppfattning genom att jämföra sina förväntningar med sina upplevelser av tjänsten.

When communications traffic increasingly turned into data, IP telephony became a disruptive technology for the Telecommunication business. IP telephony was a hot topic when voice over IP services started to become available to consumers in the 1990s. The new technology changed the rules of the game and many new actors entered the market.The purpose of this study is to describe, study, and analyze how the business models of the Swedish Telecom sector developed in the middle of the 2000s. The study is delimited to the Swedish consumer market for telephony.The study is built mainly upon deep interviews with 24 prominent persons in the Telecom sector in 2006. To aid understanding, two Telecom companies that have been chosen to represent different kinds of actors are described and analyzed more closely.

This essay is a study of the market strategies and situations in the telephone business. Our problem was to examine the Telecom companies´ strategies to stay competitive and cope with the new VoIP technology. We chose to do a qualitative study and four telephone interviews were made with Swedish and Dutch companies. We investigated three different categories of companies in the market; industry leaders, cable companies and broadband companies to get a broad view of the market. The theory chapter is based on different strategies that companies have to or can apply to get ahead, stay or survive in a hypercompetition.

The purpose with this thesis work was to design and build a technical aid for installingbatteries in Telecom base stations. Today that job is done manually, since there is noequipment on the market for that purpose. Installing batteries in base stations manually isa very tough job.To get ideas for possible solutions a preliminary study on existing lift aids was done.From the preliminary study the conclusion that some kind of overhead crane would besuitable for the task was drawn. After that a lift for installing batteries in base stationswas designed, built and tested. The tests show that it is possible to minimize heavy liftingwhen installing batteries in Telecom base stations, at a relatively low cost.ii.

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to identify and analyze innovative products and services within the Telecom industry, letting these findings constitute possible ways for CSPs to innovate the experience of their customers. Methodology: The research in this thesis was conducted from a qualitative approach and data were collected using primary- (expert interviews) and secondary sources (journals, articles, web sites etcetera). In addition, a research design entailing four sequential steps was created to stipulate and illustrate the logic underpinning the methodological process. Theoretical perspectives: The theories are divided in three groups. Background theories ? these intend to capture the problematic nature of the transforming Telecom industry, examples of such theories are; value chain theories and ecosystem theory.

We have 3G on the doorstep but nothing seems to attract ordinary people to this technology. To attract the mass market the Telecom industry must show something beyond high bit rates. They must show how ordinary people can take advantage of this new technology. This is done by showing the possibilities of the new technology and by demonstrating applications that it will handle. The Telecom industry must convince the Telecom operators to invest in this technology and the only thing that matters to them is how much revenue they can make by adopting the upcoming technology.

AbstractTitle: Wireless Fidelity ? A Scenario Analysis Authors: Mellberg Ola, Technology Management, Lund UniversityMårtensson Jens, Technology Management, Lund University Tutors: Andersson Jens A, Faculty of Engineering LTHKarlberg Johan, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communication ABSvensson Claes, Lund University Discussion: The most significant impacts on the Telecom industry over the past decades have been the rapid growth of the Internet and mobile telephone services. Currently these two worlds are converging. Moreover, the fast expansion of wireless high capacity Internet access, increased distribution of local/public hotspots and rapid development of wireless network cards have opened new opportunities for the mobile Telecom industry. Research Questions:To what extent could the explosion of local and public wireless networks, using WiFi technology, affect the future Telecom industry? Who will ultimately master the WiFi innovation and to what degree could this innovation open new possibilities for external players to enter the mobile voice industry? Purpose: The purpose of the Master Thesis is to provide Sony Ericsson Mobile Communication AB with the most transformational scenarios, which will enable employees to recognise patterns and interpret the meaning of WiFi-related events as they unfold.

The main aim of this thesis is to investigate the implications and dynamics behind consistency between individual resource allocation decisions and corporate strategy concept. The Telecom industry, a high-velocity environment going through an extensive deregulation process, is put under the magnifying glass. Japanese Telecom giant NTT Group is compared to its German counterpart Deutsche Telekom. Potential antecedent factors in the strategic decision-making process to consistency are studied. It is also examined whether there is a direct interplay between consistency and economic performance.

Mobile Telecom and the Internet are converging, which opens new possibilities for market actors to create business through the mobile handset. At the same time market experts are predicting that mobile operator?s existing dominance in the Telecom market will in the future decline as new technology such as VoIP and services will erode the operator?s traditional revenue model. This implies that mobile operators will need to rethink their dominant business logic to create new value for their customers. Mobile operators are aiming to expand their existing revenue model through advertising in the mobile handset and are searching to create new business models that evolve advertising sales.

Background: As companies are operating in more globally and complex environments, the need for risk control is accelerating. In an ever-changing environment, companies cannot merely focus on traditional risks, which include financial and insurable risks. To maintain competitiveness, companies need to extend their risk management to include all risks, traditional as well as operational and strategic risks. Purpose: The purpose is to describe and position risk management for Telecom operators, in comparison with the risk management literature, with regards to structure, processes, learning process, visions and benefits. In addition, our aim is to link risk management perspectives with the different strategies for knowledge management.

The Telecom industry is facing a paradigm shift, where the industry is converging with Internet technologies and the market is becoming more sophisticated. This results in more demanding customers, and the need for offering more content and services with a focus on usability for the end-users. The operators are starting to loose both their strong position and revenue in the Telecom industry, due to new technology and the fact that other actors are starting to enter the market, offering new content and services. In the end, the operators have two choices, to become bit-pipe providers, and only focusing on network management, or keeping the control over their networks. The latter would mean that they block other actors who are taking parts of their revenue, e.g.
