Santos Ruben S10002173 OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT CASE STUDY: JOHN AIR FREIGHT Tutor: John D Mortimer The larger markets in terms of revenues and sales of cross-border postal and express services are located in North America, Western Europe and Asia Pacific. The report "Eastern European Express and Parcels Delivery Market Report 2005," estimates the express delivery market in this region will be a EURO2.7-billion business by 2010. For European express and parcels delivery providers there is an opportunity to benefit from growing parcel volumes in the region. Nowadays, it exists an intensive competition in Global courier, express & Parcel services market Europe. Four large delivery companies (FedEx, UPS, DHL, and TNT) commonly known as integrators, dominate the worldwide courier, express and parcel market. To remain competitive, companies today must be flexible and be able to respond quickly to changes in their environment and changes in customer demands. Every organisation needs a plan that describes how it will achieve its business goals and successfully compete for customers. Although the European postal services sector once again stands on the threshold of significant further liberalization in the domestic markets, it has been fully open and competitive in the cross-border segments for some time.

McDonalds plan to increase sales in a global market.
Paper 2 Section C Question and Answer .6 With reference to one or two organization(s) that you have studied discuss how globalization and innovation may impact growth and evolution. McDonalds is often held as being a successful example of a business who has benefitted from globalization as it has over 33,000 restaurants worldwide, though only 14,000 in the United States. McDonalds has introduced new products in countries like India where they have adapted their menu to suit local tastes by selling vegetarian burgers. However, since 2013 McDonalds has seen it’s sales and profits fall and so needs to turn around this problem quickly. In 2015 it introduced a strategy to do so. Globalisation is the process whereby trade is now being conducted over widening geographical boundaries, McDonalds is in most big cities worldwide. Big businesses pushed for free trade agreements which makes it easier for them to enter new markets. However this encourages competition. Innovation is the process of introducing new ideas that may affect products or the way in which they are made. McDonalds has seen it’s sales fall for many reasons: in China, there were quality issues as suppliers sold them bad meat. This is a problem for globalized businesses, an increasing supply chain but how to guarantee quality? In Japan an aging population means less consumers in their target age group. In North

Globalization - discuss the integration of the worlds economy.
Globalization Essay Globalization can be defined as the integration of the world's economy. The director is pro-globalization. He believes that globalization has many long-term benefits and that the anti-globalization movement is extremely ignorant to a dangerous extent. The reason why globalization has previously been considered bad is because it has been claimed to create poverty. This is a wrong claim because only after modernization the countries have started to escape poverty. Therefore, countries have to be integrated into the global economy in order to grow and develop. A good example of that is Sweden because they are in a much better situation now after they allowed themselves to globalize. Due to globalization, three billion people have been lifted out of poverty in the last 50 years. Furthermore, globalization brings wealth and freedom to everyone due to capitalism. If there is more of a free market, there are fewer restrictions and therefore, more money. Finally, the director believes that globalization is good. His thesis is that globalization would solve the problem of poverty if it were to increase and be unrestricted. The director is very pro-capitalist. The good effects of globalization can clearly be seen in Taiwan. Thirty years ago, Taiwan was a very poor country, until they allowed themselves to globalize. Within the first ten years of globalization, more

Canon Competitors
Part C Key Forces in the competitive environment. Task environment includes four main forces: Suppliers, Distributors, Customers and Competitors. Each of these four forces has an influence on the organization. In this section we will describe Canon suppliers and distributors, define Canon customers and analyze Canon competitors. Suppliers Suppliers are the individuals and companies that provide an organization with the input resources that it needs to produce goods and services (Jones & George, 2008, Contemporary management, pp. 213) Almost all Canon suppliers are Canon owned Subsidiaries and affiliates. For example: Canon Chemicals Inc.- Toner cartridges and advanced functional polymer components Miyazaki Daishin Canon Inc- Digital cameras, electronics packaging Oita Canon Inc.- Digital cameras, digital video camcorders, EF lenses, compact photo printers and others Nagasaki Canon Inc.- Digital Cameras Oita Canon Materials Inc.- Chemical products for copying machines and printers Nagahama Canon Inc.- LBPs, toner cartridges, A-Si drums Ueno Canon Materials Inc.- Chemical products for copying machines and printers Etc (canon.com, corporate info, 18.10.09). Because most of the Canon suppliers are Canon subsidiaries, it is easier for Canon to control the quality of the products. Distributors Distributors are organizations that buy products from the particular
