from larger competitors in their core food and drink markets. They are also finding it hard to respond to these
competitors moving into the sale of clothing and household goods. Supaserve has a reputation for friendly customer
care and is looking at the feasibility of introducing an online shopping service, from which customers can order goods
from the comfort of their home and have them delivered, for a small charge, to their home.
Chris recognises that the move to develop an online shopping service will require significant investment in new
technology and support systems. He hopes a significant proportion of existing and most importantly, new customers,
will be attracted to the new service.
Required:
(a) What bases for segmenting this new market would you recommend and what criteria will help determine
whether this segment is sufficiently attractive to commit to the necessary investment? (10 marks)
her first job with a large supermarket chain. She knows there is a growing market for distinctive, quality cakes in the
bakery sections of the supermarket chains, as well as in supplying independent individual premium cake shops, and
also for catering wholesalers supplying restaurants and hotels.
Helen is very determined to set up her own business under the brand name of ‘Helen’s cakes’, and has bought some
equipment – industrial food mixers, ovens, cake moulds – and also rented a small industrial unit to make the cakes.
Helen has created three sets of recipes – one for the premium cake shop market, one for the supermarkets and one
for the catering wholesalers but is uncertain which market to enter first. Each channel of distribution offers a different
set of challenges. The premium cake shop market consists of a large number of independent cake shops spread
through the region, each looking for daily deliveries, a wide product range and low volumes. The supermarkets are
demanding good quality, competitive prices and early development of a product range under their own brand name.
The catering wholesalers require large volumes, medium quality and low prices.
Helen has learnt that you are a consultant specialising in start-up enterprises and is looking to you for advice.
Required:
(a) Acting as a consultant, prepare a short report for Helen advising her on the advantages and disadvantages
each channel offers and the implications for a successful start-up. (12 marks)
You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep.Dr.Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students.One group got their normal eight hours of sleep.The other group didn’t get the smallest amount of sleep — they stayed awake all night.The next day, Dr.Home tested the students.He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking.One of the questions was “How many uses can a cardboard box be put to?”
The results? The wide-awake students did well on the tests.The tired students did poorly.
Research has already shown that tired people can do okay on tests of routine thinking, like simple addition.But Dr.Home tested creative thinking only.
As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the sleepy students if they did well.But even this encouragement wasn’t enough to help the students overcome their tiredness.They still did poorly.Dr.Home believes that the cerebral cortex — the part of the brain where thinking takes place — may get worn out during waking hours.Sleep may help to repair the brain overnight.Without any sleep, he emphasizes, “even if you concentrate harder, you cannot do better.”
This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers and airline pilots, who must stay awake all night and then make emergency decisions.

years his fee income was in excess of £100K a year and he had nearly 100 clients most of whom had been gained
through word of mouth. David recognised that these small or micro businesses, typically employing ten or fewer
people, were receiving less than satisfactory service from their current accountants. These accounting firms typically
had between five and ten partners and operated regionally and not nationally. Evidence of poor service included
limited access to their particular accountant, poor response time to clients’ enquiries and failure to identify
opportunities to save clients money. In addition bad advice, lack of interest in business development opportunities for
the client and poor internal communication between the partners and their staff contributed to client dissatisfaction.
David has deliberately kept the costs of the business down by employing three part-time accountants and relying on
his wife to run the office.
David had recently met Ian King who ran a similar sized accounting firm. The personal chemistry between the two
and complementary skills led to a partnership being proposed. Gould and King Associates, subject to securing the
necessary funding, is to be launched in September 2006. David is to focus on the business development side of the
partnership and Ian on the core services provided. Indicative of their creative thinking is David’s conviction that
accounting services are promoted very inadequately with little attempt to communicate with clients using the Internet.
He is also convinced that there are real opportunities for the partnership to move into new areas such as providing
accountancy services for property developers, both at home and abroad. Ian feels that the partnership should set up
its own subsidiary in India, enjoying the benefits of much cheaper accountancy staff and avoiding the costs and
complications of outsourcing their core accounting services. Ian sees fee income growing to £2 million in five years’
time.
David has been asked by his bank to provide it with a business plan setting out how the partnership intends to grow
and develop.
Required:
(a) Write a short report for David giving the key features that you consider to be important and that you would
expect to see in the business plan for the Gould and King partnership that David has to present to his bank.
