Retailers WorldAs the final link between consumers and manufacturers, retailers are a vital part of the business world. Retailers add value to products by making it easier for manufacturers to sell and consumers to buy. It would be very costly and time-consuming for you to locate, contact and make a purchase from the manufacturer every time you wanted to buy a candy bar, a sweater or a bar of soap. Similarly, it would be very costly for the manufacturers of these products to locate and distribute them to consumers individually. By bringing multitudes of manufacturers and consumers together at a single point, retailers make it possible for products to be sold, and, consequently, business to be done. Retailers also provide services that make it less risky and more fun to buy products. They have salespeople on hand who can answer questions, may offer credit, and display products so that consumers know what are available and can see them before buying. In addition, retailers may provide many extra services, from personal shopping to gift wrapping to delivery, which increase the value of products and services to consumers. According to the National Retail Federation, 1in5 American workers are employed in the retail industry. The US Department of Labor estimates that since 1990, 700,000 new jobs have been created in the retail sector . Thats 13% of all new jobs in the United States. At present, more jobs are provided in retailing than the entire US manufacturing sector. Wal-Mart in Retailing MarketLike the yellow happy face in its television ads, Wal-Mart is leaping across the world planting giant super centers as well as neighborhood-scale markets in a continued expansion that has already made it the worlds largest company. Wal-Mart is not only a retailer, but an excellent distribution company that generated $246 billion in revenue in 2002 at 4,414 stores in the United States and nine foreign countries. It has 1.3 million employees.Wal-Marts global ambitions, increasing consumers demand for value and convenience, vast shifts in market share of various retail formats, and intense pressure on global suppliers to sell to a smaller number of very large accounts are creating an uncertain global retail environment. As competition intensifies and the global retail landscape becomes increasingly concentrated , the worlds top retailers will be required to change their strategies in several ways. “Retailers need to prepare for slower growth ahead and a more discerning consumer and they need to know when to exit a market when the business environment becomes unsuitable ”, comments Kalish (chief economist at Retail Forward). “The bottom line is that retailers need to differentiate on the basis of something other than price, while still offering a strong value proposition, Kalish believes. “And, they will need to seek new customers in new locations with new formats to survive,” he concludes. 1.which of the following statement is NOT ture._ A.

Whether the crisis is caused by personal or family illness, the loss of a job, or overspending, it can seem overwhelming. But often, it can be overcome. Your financial situation doesnt have to go from bad to worse. Have you considered preparing a budget? The first step toward taking control of your financial situation, is to do a realistic assessment of how much money you earn and how much money you spend. Start by listing your income from all sources. Then, list your “fixed” expenses those that are the same each month like mortgage payments or rent, car payments, and insurance premiums. Next, list the expenses that vary, like entertainment, recreation, and clothing. Writing down all your expenses, even those that seem insignificant, is a helpful way to track your spending patterns, identify necessary expenses, and prioritize the rest. The goal is to make sure you can make ends meet on the basics: housing, food, health care, insurance, and education. The public libraries and bookstores have information about budgeting and money management techniques. In addition, computer software programs can be useful tools for developing and maintaining a budget, balancing your cheque book, and creating plans to save money and pay down your debt. Have you considered a debt consolidation loan? Are you paying out too much every month for your credit cards, store cards and loans? Then why not replace them all with one, lower, convenient repayment through a consolidation loan? Consolidation loans can give you a fresh start, allowing you to consolidate all of your loans into one giving you one easy way to manage payment, and in most cases, at a lower rate of interest. A carefully-managed debt consolidation loan can help in the following ways:Cut your monthly payments.You may be able to find a debt consolidation loan that works out cheaper than the combined interest of your current credit cards, overdrafts, store cards, etc. Any method of borrowing that will charge less interest can cut your debt considerably.Make your payments easier. If youre in trouble because you forget to pay your bills, opting for a debt consolidation loan will mean just one monthly payment.Many lenders will allow you to pay by direct debit, so you wont even have to send a cheque.Improve your credit rating. If youre finding it hard to get credit, a debt consolidation loan can help to slowly rebuild your credit rating. Pay your bills in full and on time, and your credit history record will soon show an improvement. After a certain period, the arrears on your credit record should disappear and you will be able to apply for a cheaper loan. Debt consolidation loan rates are variable, depending on status. Monthly repayments will depend on the amount borrowed and term. A UK debt consolidation loan is a low cost loan secured on your UK home. With a debt consolidation loan you can borrow from 5,000 to 75,000 and up to 125% of your property value in some cases. It can reduce BOTH your interest costs AND your monthly repayments, putting you back in control of your life.It frees up the spare capital (or equity) in your home to repay your store cards and other debts. 6.
