3 Local neighbourhood shops are finding it increasingly difficult to compete with supermarkets. However, three yearsago, the Perfect Shopper franchise group was launched that allowed these neighbourhood shops to join the groupand achieve cost savings on tinned and packaged goods, particularly groceries. Perfect Shopper purchases brandedgoods in bulk from established food suppliers and stores them in large purpose-built warehouses, each designed toserve a geographical region. When Perfect Shopper was established it decided that deliveries to these warehousesshould be made by the food suppliers or by haulage contractors working on behalf of these suppliers. Perfect Shopperplaces orders with these suppliers and the supplier arranges the delivery to the warehouse. These arrangements arestill 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 requirementsof 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 specialisthaulage contractors local to the regional warehouse. Perfect Shopper has negotiated significant discounts withsuppliers, part of which it passes on to its franchisees. A recent survey in a national grocery magazine showed thatfranchisees saved an average of 10% on the prices they would have paid if they had purchased the products directlyfrom 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 usingspecialist 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 Shopperslogan ‘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 anexclusive franchise. Franchisees agree to purchase specific products through Perfect Shopper, but other goods, suchas vegetables, fruit, stationery and newspapers they source from elsewhere. Deliveries are made every two weeks tofranchisees using a standing order for products agreed between the franchisee and their Perfect Shopper salesrepresentative at a meeting they hold every three months. Variations to this order can be made by telephone, but onlyif the order is increased. Downward variations are not allowed. Franchisees cannot reduce their standing orderrequirements until the next meeting with their representative.Perfect Shopper was initially very successful, but its success has been questioned by a recent independent report thatshowed 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 reexaminethe 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.

Text 4Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply - cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $ 26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near - tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979 -80, when they also almost tri- pled. Both previous shocks resulted in double - digit inflation and global economic decline. So there are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time?The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil experts. Strengthening economic growth, al the' same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short Item.Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, tuxes account for up to four - fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the 'oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that, oil prices averaged $ 22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25 - 0.5% of GDP. That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economies—to which heavy industry has shifted—have become more energy-intensive, and se could he more seriously squeezed.One more reason net to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline. The Economist's commodity price index is broadly unchanging from a year ago. In 1973 commodity prices jumped by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%.36. The main reason for the latest rise of oil price is______.A) global inflationB) reduction in supplyC) fast growth in economyD) Iraq' s suspension of exports
It can be inferred from the text that the retail price of petrol will go up dramatically if______.A) price of crude risesB) commodity prices riseC) consumption risesD) oil taxes rise

In any country, the "standard ofliving" means the average person′s share of the goods and services whichthe country produces. Therefore, a country′s standard of living depends firstand foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in thissense is not money, but "goods" such as food and clothing, and"services" such as transport and entertainment.The capacity to produce wealth depends uponmany factors, most of which have an effect on one another. To a great extent,wealth depends upon a country′s natural resources, such as coal, gold, andother minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are wellsupplied with coal and minerals, and some are not.Next to natural resources comes the abilityto turn them to use. Some countries are perhaps well off in natural resources,but unable to develop their resources. They suffered for many years from civiland external wars. Peaceful political and stable conditions enable a country todevelop its natural resources effectively, and to produce more wealth thananother country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Anotherimportant factor is the technical efficiency of a country′s people.Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled workers andtechnicians produce wealth more than countries whose workers are largelyunskilled.A country′s standard of living does notonly depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its ownborders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade.For instance, Britain′s wealth isfoodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had todepend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplusmanufacture goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products. In thisaspect, a country′s wealth is much influenced by its manufacturing capacity,provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.The manufacturing capacity may be a keyfactor to a higher standard of living when one country ______A.has traded her manufactureB.has established her wealthC.has been an industrialized oneD.has produced surplus manufactured goods

单选题Exports are either raw materials or manufactured goods. Raw materials are products of the land， such as cotton， timber or rubber. Some raw materials， such as iron ore， come from mines. These raw materials are often exported by the countries that produce them to other countries where they are made into manufactured goods. Some countries produce food for export， for example， meat， sugar， or cereals such as wheat and maize. These countries are agricultural countries. An agricultural country needs fertile land and a good climate. A cold， dry climate is not suitable for agriculture. A country which produces manufactured goods is known as an industrialized country. An industrialized country cannot always produce enough food for its own needs. In this case， it does not export foodstuffs. Instead it has to import them. It relies on exports of manufactured products and pays for imports with the money it earns from the exported goods.An industrialized country usually has to import foodstuffs because,（）.Ait cannot always produce enough food for its own needsBit doesn't has fertile land and a good climateCit relies on exports of manufactured products

问答题Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage. Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979-1980, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time? The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports. Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term. Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past. Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price.

In 1973 commodity prices jumped by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%. Questions: 1．What is the main reason for the latest rise of oil price? 2．What are the results of the 1970s’ oil shock? 3．It can be inferred from the text that the retail price of petrol will go up dramatically if ________. 4．According to the passage, reduction in oil consumption is due to ________, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries. 5．According to the passage, compared with those in the 1970s, oil-price shocks are ________ now.
