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 learned the retail trade working for his father's "Coles Store" business at Wilmot, Tasmania between 1910 and 1913).

Those that did not have an NUS Extra card were unaware of the concept and put more emphasis on supermarkets, bookstores and various online shops. During the questionnaire, we interviewed 100 students. But we could hardly find students having the NUS Extra card already. Hence, only 8 respondents had an NUS Extra card. Of the remaining 92 students, the majority indicated that they had never heard of the concept. Others however indicated that they saw little advantage over the discounts offered by the standard NUS card. Fields of discount that the non-cardholders are interested in are mostly travel and bookstores, with groceries, clothing and food &drink also being important categories. For the NUS Extra card holders, users used the card rather infrequently and indicated that they were very dissatisfied with the discounts at grocery stores. They also rated more...

...Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Filipinos are one of the most diligent people around the world. They dedicate a big part of their lives working. They are passionate of their work for their families. Due to long hours of wearing footwear in performing daily activities and routine, many of them tend to acquire fungal foot diseases. These fungal diseases are caused by different types of fungi, including dermatophytes and yeasts which are common in the environment. Most fungi are not dangerous, but some types can be harmful to health. In effect, the person who is affected of it might acquire smelly stinky feet which prompt them to find for some herbal and over-the-counter medicines (www.cdc.gov.com, August 17, 2015). Herbal medicines have been widely used within rural areas as a medicinal alternative to cure fungal infections and skin-causing diseases such as ringworm and athlete’s foot in the past. Nowadays, as technology innovates, new products have been released in the market as an alternative to herbal medicines for fungal infections such as foot powder. Foot powder is a solid substance in the form of fine tiny loose particles containing active agents for topical application in the treatment of fungal infections. This helps regulate the odor of the foot and aids in the healing process of the skin diseases such as athlete’s foot. In order to make the foot powder more effective, it must be made out of eight plants that the Department of Health affirms as scientifically proven to...

...Business Research Methods Kim Smith QNT/561 June 25, 2012 Leda Villalobos Business Research Methods Wal-Mart is the world’s largest retailer but revenues are on a consistent growth trajectory, cost of sales has also been increasing (Consolidated Statements of Income, 2011). One strategy to leverage revenue growth against the risk of increasing expenditure may be to use current assets in new ways. The boutique-within-the- store concept will apply current infrastructural and personnel resources to reach a demographic with greater disposable income. The target market will be working women with young families who can purchase an item suitable for work, picking up children from school or daycare, and with a few accessories she is ready for an evening out. The product offering will compete with Dress Barn and Cato and be similar to that of Target’s new marketing thrust. The research question will emanate from analysis that applies the Management Research Question Hierarchy and further tested for alignment with the management dilemma. The research design will establish the feasibility of proposed solutions to the management problem through a stratified random sample of Wal-Mart customers. Background Information Wal-Mart was founded in 1962 with the opening of the first Wal-Mart discount store in Rogers, Arkansas (Wal-Mart Corporate, 2012). The organization has grown and is established in 27 countries in which it operates under 69 banners employing over 2.2 million...

...Feasibility Analysis: Chilean Subsidiary Matthew Dommer Cornerstone University Introduction GMS Inc. is a privately held manufacturer of premium outdoor apparel based in the United States. At present, corporate headquarters and the company’s sole 80,000 square foot manufacturing facility are located in Charleston, South Carolina due to shipping port access and the state’s right-to-work status. Raw fabrics are purchased from international vendors and US suppliers and include nylon/natural weaves, Gortex, manufactured high efficiency liners, and down fillers. GMS products are sold through upscale retail outlets generally specializing in performance outdoor apparel used in alpine skiing. Annual sales are at 100,000 units per year with gross revenue of $20,000,000. Total current employees are 100. GMS has developed plans for a new line of outer apparel utilizing a liner made from an Alpaca premium long fiber weave with a Gortex laminate. Alpaca was chosen for its superiority to wool and other natural fibers. It has higher durability, softness, water repellency, and broader thermal properties than wool. It is flexible at very cold temperatures, has inherent stretch for mobility, retains thermal properties when wet, and is hypoallergenic. It is therefore better suited to this intended purpose than most manufactured fibers. As a renewable resource and biodegradable product, alpaca fiber is consistent with GMS environmental policies and offers the opportunity to...
