It has 741 stores nationally, including 45 BI-LO Supermarkets that also stock Coles private label brands, and more than 100,000 employees. Coles was founded by George James (G.J.) Coles when what was called the "Coles Variety Store" opened on 9 April 1914 in Smith Street in the Melbourne suburb of Collingwood. Expansion to more stores occurred and the chain was regarded as leaders in providing value to Australian shoppers (G. J. Coles learned the retail trade working for his father's "Coles Store" business at Wilmot, Tasmania between 1910 and 1913). Coles' interest in food retailing was spurred in 1958 when it acquired 54 John Connell Dickins grocery stores. It then acquired the Beilby's chain in South Australia in 1959 and 265 Matthews Thompson grocery stores in New South Wales in...

...Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for the Coles Group of Australia By Aruna Kulatunga MGG9352 Management Processes and Systems. Semester 1, 2007 Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for Coles Group Executive Summary The Coles Group of Australia has allowed its competitive advantage to slip away to rival Woolworth by failing to differentiate its core strategies and by failing to articulate well the strategies that could have been differentiated. In a bid to gain competitive advantage, this report suggests that the Coles Group should look beyond the company boundaries, extending its value chain to suppliers, partners and customers in a seamless manner, employ process like Total Quality Management and Business Process Reengineering in extending the value chain, bedded in a well structured change management programme and look towards globalisation and franchising along with such counter-intuitive, yet innovative, location strategies such as competitive clustering and saturation marketing to regain its competitive advantage. Page 2 23/10/07 Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for Coles Group Introduction Strategy gurus Porter (1998, p. 2), Mintzberg (1994), Hamel (1998), Hamel and Prahalad, (1994) Champy and Nohria (1996) and Hammer (quoted in Champy and Nohria, (1996)) agree in principle that in order to meet business needs, specific actions need to be...

...Ethics Memo Nathan Singleteary BIS/221 July 2, 2015 Joseph Gorman MEMO IT Ethics - ISIS Threats Recently in US news a federal joint task force was responsible for stopping an assumed ISIS threat that called for the beheading of police officials. The joint task force had Usaama Rahim and a few other radicals under surveillance for a couple of years through telephone conversations and social media. It was reported that the task force had deciphered a conversation where Usaama had contemplated beheading police with a few other individuals. ("Us News", 2015) Information technology played a significant role in stopping this particular threat because it allowed officials a means of fighting terrorists plots. The world of today is far more advanced in technology than any other era of the past. Information technology has enabled a global way of communication where a lot of ideas, processes, and for some a way of living life in this computer age. When it comes to ethics and information technology there is the debate of how much information should be private or federally governed. In this debate a few concerns are rights and responsibilities and the way information is used. Some people feel that the federal government is invading privacy rights when doing such surveillance as mentioned above. On the other hand some people feel like it's necessary to fight the war on terrorism. As in the report above this surveillance uncovered a ruthless plot to physically...

...Recognizing Contract Risks and Opportunities Jennifer Breeden Law/531 Business Law March 6, 2011 Monica Cosentino-Benedict Recognizing Contract Risks and Opportunities MEMO To: Span Systems Management From: Jennifer Breeden Date: March 6, 2011 ------------------------------------------------- Subject: Recognizing Contract Risks and Opportunities The purpose of this memo will be to analyze the recent contract between Span Systems (Span) and Citizen – Schwarz AG Bank (C-S). This contract’s purpose was to have Span build a transaction processing-based software system for C-S and in return C-S would pay $6 million dollars (University of Phoenix, 2002). These two companies come up against many disagreements about the language and meanings of the contract. In the end, Span worked very hard to renegotiate the clauses of the contract to continue a positive working relationship with C-S. This memo reviews the legal risks, liabilities, and opportunities that occurred during this process to make future business with C-S and other companies to come more enjoyable for both sides. Risks and Liabilities A breach of contract is the first accusation C-S made of Span, which starts the list of risks and liabilities. C-S said that the deliverables were below the standards agreed upon and were not delivered on time. C-S claimed that Span was producing deliverables of substantial performance, meaning that they were below standards set up in the contract. Span could have...

...Your Name Soc 101 Memo 1 March 26, 2012 Frontline “The New Asylums” In this video, Frontline discuss the high number of the mentally ill that are incarcerated in prison. Looking at Ohio’s correctional system the video attempts to claim many of societies criminals are mentally ill. While the video does show there is a problem in the prison system with mentally ill inmates not receiving the required help that they need it doesn’t touch on the point that the majority of those inmates are trying to work the system. Alternatively, the inmate is attempting to get away with the crime based on a defense of mental illness. As a former Deputy Jailor with a Sheriff’s Department with 5 years experience I have first hand knowledge of the penal system. The jail I worked at could house any type of inmate for up to ten years. We served some inmates who did have a lifetime sentence but they would only be at our facility for ten years or less. I had a variety of responsibilities while I was there to include: dispensing medication, having one on one contact, and extractions from cells when an inmate failed to comply with directions. The majority of the inmates received medication many of which would never take these medicines when released. A great majority of these meds were for mental illness. The majority of those who received such medication were quite functional, and compliant to jail directives. These inmates were choosing to follow directives, which had nothing to do with the medication...
