A chain of shops in East Yorkshire, England has been told that it would be a criminal offe

nce to sell thousands of tubes of toothpaste made by a leading French manufacturer simply because the small print giving the firm importing it does not include the letters "UK". Under cosmetics regulations implementing 25 separate European Union instructions, unless the address is London, which is "a major city", the letters UK must be added. The suppliers response, when Gordon Rodgerss A2Z chain asked them to take back the toothpaste, was that this would pose no problem, because trading standards officials elsewhere in Britain do not bother about such fault-finding to a very minute detail. A2Z, which sells a range of more than 10 000 household items from its 14 discount stores in Hull and East Yorkshire, first stumbled into these mysterious requirements of cosmetic labelling when summoned by East Yorkshire trading standards officials on a criminal charge of selling tubes of the same brand of toothpaste, Mentadent, designed for the South African market. These carried the name of a German distributor but no UK supplier. The council had no complaint about the toothpaste itself. It is common and legal practice for supermarkets and discount stores to buy up a wide range of branded products packaged by leading European and American manufacturers for non-EU markets. These can then be sold at prices lower than those recommended for identical products in Europe, which are only more expensive because EU consumers can supposedly afford to pay more. Council officials were quick to point out that they support the contribution this gray economy makes to "healthy competition". The only problem was that importers details must be given by the regulation formula. For a major city such as London only a postcode is necessary, but for other cities and towns the letters UK must be added. When A2Z asked how it was expected to examine the small print on the labelling of each of 10 000 products it carries, East Yorkshire replied that it was up to the firm to improve the quality of their inspection procedures. A2Z then supplied the council three weeks running with examples of similar products carrying "illegal labelling", bought from major supermarkets in the same area, asking why these large firms were not also prosecuted. The council said it "did not have the resources" to chase up every case of illegality, to which Mr. Rodgers responded that he "did not have the resources" to improve the quality of their inspection procedures, which the council was asking of him. Last week his firms case was adjourned.

Why did Gordon Rodgerss A2Z chain have trouble with East Yorkshire Council？

A．They sold fake product.

B．They sold stolen goods.

C．The product they sold was incorrectly labelled.

D．They were not licensed to sell this product.

3 Local neighbourhood shops are finding it increasingly difficult to compete with supermar
kets. However, three years

ago, the Perfect Shopper franchise group was launched that allowed these neighbourhood shops to join the group

and achieve cost savings on tinned and packaged goods, particularly groceries. Perfect Shopper purchases branded

goods in bulk from established food suppliers and stores them in large purpose-built warehouses, each designed to

serve a geographical region. When Perfect Shopper was established it decided that deliveries to these warehouses

should be made by the food suppliers or by haulage contractors working on behalf of these suppliers. Perfect Shopper

places orders with these suppliers and the supplier arranges the delivery to the warehouse. These arrangements are

still in place. Perfect Shopper has no branded goods of its own.

Facilities are available in each warehouse to re-package goods into smaller units, more suitable for the requirements

of the neighbourhood shop. These smaller units, typically containing 50–100 tins or packs, are usually small trays,

sealed with strong transparent polythene. Perfect Shopper delivers these to its neighbourhood shops using specialist

haulage contractors local to the regional warehouse. Perfect Shopper has negotiated significant discounts with

suppliers, part of which it passes on to its franchisees. A recent survey in a national grocery magazine showed that

franchisees saved an average of 10% on the prices they would have paid if they had purchased the products directly

from the manufacturer or from an intermediary – such as cash and carry wholesalers.

As well as offering savings due to bulk buying, Perfect Shopper also provides, as part of its franchise:

(i) Personalised promotional material. This usually covers specific promotions and is distributed locally, either using

specialist leaflet distributors or loosely inserted into local free papers or magazines.

(ii) Specialised signage for the shops to suggest the image of a national chain. The signs include the Perfect Shopper

slogan ‘the nation’s local’.

(iii) Specialist in-store display units for certain goods, again branded with the Perfect Shopper logo.

Perfect Shopper does not provide all of the goods required by a neighbourhood shop. Consequently, it is not an

exclusive franchise. Franchisees agree to purchase specific products through Perfect Shopper, but other goods, such

as vegetables, fruit, stationery and newspapers they source from elsewhere. Deliveries are made every two weeks to

franchisees using a standing order for products agreed between the franchisee and their Perfect Shopper sales

representative at a meeting they hold every three months. Variations to this order can be made by telephone, but only

if the order is increased. Downward variations are not allowed. Franchisees cannot reduce their standing order

requirements until the next meeting with their representative.

Perfect Shopper was initially very successful, but its success has been questioned by a recent independent report that

showed increasing discontent amongst franchisees. The following issues were documented.

(i) The need to continually review prices to compete with supermarkets

(ii) Low brand recognition of Perfect Shopper

(iii) Inflexible ordering and delivery system based around forecasts and restricted ability to vary orders (see above)

As a result of this survey, Perfect Shopper has decided to review its business model. Part of this review is to reexamine

the supply chain, to see if there are opportunities for addressing some of its problems.

Required:

(a) Describe the primary activities of the value chain of Perfect Shopper. (5 marks)

NOT JUST A SHOP!

In his yearly report, the Chairman of a chain of retail outlets writes about the financial aspects of the business and describes the work which the company has done to benefit people in the areas where their shops are located

It continues to be an important part of our company policy to be responsible for the health and welfare of people in the areas which we serve. In the past year, we have concentrated especially on education and training, and have invested over ￡4,000,000 in this and other areas ranging from the care of the old to the arts.

Let us look at these first. We have, as always, financed health research and care projects helping not only the old but children and the disabled too. We were especially pleased this year to provide alarms for disabled people who live alone and to run programmes which help children understand better the problems facing disabled people.

The Groundwork Foundation encourages young people in poor areas to improve their environment, while the Schools Prom concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London includes 20,000 children nationwide. Both of these were given financial help.

As mentioned above, in the last year we have been active in supporting a range of education projects. Two of our managers are now out of the company on 1-year projects, training young people for work in the retail industry and improving the quality of the teaching they receive. In addition, we have started a programme of 3-month schemes which our managerial staff are able to benefit from without having to take a long break from their jobs.

Schools and universities have also benefited. A London Business School received ￡50,000 to develop a training programme for UK school staff, giving them the skills necessary to manage their own schools. A major University has received a promise of ￡100,000 over 5 years to fund a new teaching post in international retailing. This will allow 22 more students to study this subject each year.

It is not only the company that supports good work for other people. Members of staff themselves are encouraged to join the company Give as You Earn system, to give money to others, especially those organisations working for the benefit of the local area. In such cases the company often gives its support by making an additional contribution.

We look forward to committing even more money to these and other projects in the coming year.

In the past year ￡4,000,000 was spent on

A．looking after old people.

B．all the company projects.

C．education and training.

听力原文：F：Good morning，nice to meet you．Please take a seat．

M：Thank you．

F：So，you're the Training Manager of Anderson，am I right？Give me some background of the company—so I get a general picture．

M：Joseph Anderson founded the company nearly twenty years ago，and he ran it for a long time．Our businesses had been doing fine，but now with the intense competition in the field，we are actually going downwards．The biggest problem now is to improve the efficiency among various chain shops，I mean，retaining our control without affecting each store's autonomy。Mr．Anderson intends to organize a training programme for all the shop owners．so here I am．

F：What kind of training programme do you intend to have？

M：I was thinking of something like communication strategies，ways to improve your efficiency，etc．An-yway，there should be no worries about the training resources，as we do have plenty of them．But then I wonder about the appropriate method for the delivery．

F：In this case，I would recommend the‘case study’，which I thought wouldn’t be an unfamiliar term to you，right？

M：Yes，I know，but not so much．Could you tell me more in detail？

F：OK．Case studies are particularly useful in depicting a holistic portrayal of a client's experiences and results regarding a programme．For example，to evaluate the effectiveness of a programme's processes，evaluators might develop case studies on its successes and failures．They are used to organizing a wide range of information about a case and then analyzing the contents．A case can be individuals，programmes，or any unit，depending on what the programme evaluators want to examine through indepth analysis and comparison．

M：I see，it sounds very applicable．But how could we develop a case study that is tailored to our company's needs？

F：OK，there're normally five steps．I'll go through them one by one．

M：All right，please go ahead．

F：The first step is about the data collection．You must make sure that all necessary data is gathered-first-hand would be preferred，but second-hand is also OK。For example，if the study is to highlight a programme's failure with a client，data would be collected about the programme，its processes and the client．Data could result from a combination of methods，including documentation(applications，histories，records，etc．)，questionnaires，interviews and observation．

M：Yes．

F：And then the data is organized into an approach to highlight the focus of the study．In our example，data in the case would be organized in a chronological order to portray how the client got into the pro-gramme，went through it and did not receive effective services．

M：So that should be the second step．What's next？

F：You're right．The third step concerns the development of a case study narrative．The narrative is a highly readable story that integrates and summarizes key information around the focus of the case study．The narrative should be complete to the extent that even an outside reader could understand what happened regarding the case．

M：Ok，please go on．

F：The narrative might be then validated by reviews from programme participants．For example，the cli-ent for whom the programme failed，would read the narrative to ensure it fully depicted his or her ex-perience and results．

M：Indeed，and I guess that’s step four？

F：Exactly．Then comes our final step in the case study．The case studies might be cross-compared to isolate any themes or pattems．For example，various case studies about programme failures might be compared to notice commonalities in these clients'experiences and how they went through the programme．

M：OK，that's a very detailed illustration of the case study method．I wonder if you have any real life examples？

F：Sure．Here is a sample of a case study report．The evaluation includes focus on the programme's process，outcomes and facilitation．You could take it away for reference．

M：Thank you very much．But is there any other material that could be used？

F：

A．To retain the ownership of the various chain shops．

B．To improve the efficiency among various chain shops．

C．To ensure more flexibility of the various chain shops．

第10题
So great is our passion for doing things for ourselves, that we are becoming increasingly
less dependent on specialized labor. No one can plead ignorance of a subject any longer, for there are countless do-it-yourself publications. Armed with the fight tools and materials, newly-weds gaily embark on the task of decorating their own homes. Men of all ages spend fours of their leisure time installing their own fireplaces, laying-out their own gardens; building garages and making furniture. Some really keen enthusiasts go so far as to build their own record players and radio transmitters. Shops cater for the do-it-yourself craze not only by running special advisory services for novices, but by offering consumers bits and pieces which they can assemble at home. Such things provide an excellent outlet for pent-up creative energy, but unfortunately not all of us are born handyman.

Wives tend to believe that their husbands are infinitely resourceful and versatile. Even husbands who can hardly drive a nail in straight are supposed to be born electricians, carpenters, plumbers and mechanics. When lights fuse, furniture gets rickety, pipes get clogged, or vacuum cleaners fail to operate, wives automatically assume that their husbands will somehow put things right. The worst thing about the do-it-yourself game is that sometimes husbands live under the delusion that they can do anything even when they have been repeatedly proved wrong. It is a question of pride as much as anything else.

Last spring my wife suggested that I call in a man to took at our lawn-mower. It had broken down the previous summer, and though I promised to repair it, I had never got round to it. I would not hear of the suggestion and said that I would fix it myself. One Saturday afternoon, I hauled the machine into the garden and had a close look at it. As far as I could see, it only needed a minor adjustment: a turn of a screw here, a little tightening up there, a drop of oil and it would be as good as new. Inevitably the repair job was not quite so simple. Tile mower firmly refused to mow, so I decided to dismantle it. The garden was soon littered with chunks of metal which had once made up a lawn-mower. But I was extremely pleased with myself. I had traced the cause of the trouble. One of the links in the chain that drives the wheels had snapped. Alter buying a new chain I was faced with the insurmountable task of putting tile confusing jigsaw puzzle together again. I was not surprised to find that the machine still refused to work after I had reassembled it, for the simple reason that I was left with several curiously shaped bits of metal which did not seem to fit anywhere. I gave up in despair. The weeks passed and the grass grew. When my wife nagged me to do something about it, I told her that either I would have to buy a new mower or let the grass grow. Needless to say our house is now surrounded by a jungle. Buried somewhere in deep grass there is a rusting lawn-mower which I have promised to repair one day.

People don't rely on specialized labor so much nowadays because______.

A．their wives think their husbands will fix the things

B．they have the enthusiasm for doing things for themselves

C．the books and papers tell them how to do something by themselves

D．both B and C
