...2012 was a good year for U.K. coffee cafés. Among Leading 100 U.K. chains, the coffee café segment grew sales 12.2 percent, due largely to U.K.-based Costa Coffee (sales up 18.5 percent) and Starbucks (sales up 6.1 percent). Together, these two brands made up over 80 percent of coffee cafés sales within the Leading 100, while the remainder came from Caffe Nero, Wacky Warehouse (Corner Coffee) and AMT Coffee Bars. New players to the category, however, are expected to heat up competition. Harris + Hoole, a coffee shop concept backed by U.K. retail-giant Tesco, has opened seven stores since the start of the year (for a total of 17). The chain focuses on its independent look and feel, which changes based on location. Italy-based Lavazza announced its intentions of opening 50 Lavazza Espression shops across the U.K. by 2015. With four locations currently in the country, this upscale coffee café concept features a large selection of Lavazza espresso beverages, as well as a menu that was created through Lavazza’s partnerships with world-renowned chefs. The popularity of high quality coffee in the U.K. has also gotten the attention of brands in other categories. Wanting to take its own share of the market, KFC U.K. rolled out Lavazza coffee at its outlets nationwide earlier this year. Greggs, the U.K. brand known for its chain of bake shops, has launched a coffee shop concept called Greggs moment, which features fairtrade coffee and a selection of specialties from its bakery menu. ...

In july 1988 a Ferruccio after being the owner of the boat for 20 years, sold his boat to a friend named Angelo merli. Involvement with automobiles Lamborghini after becoming one of the richest person in Italy, started buying expensive and faster cars including Alfa Romeos and Lancias during the early 1950s. He bought so many cars that he could use different car in each day of a week adding a Mercedes-Benz 300SL, a Jaguar E-Type coupé, and two Maserati 3500 GTs. In 1958, Lamborghini traveled to Maranello to buy a Ferrari 250GT, a two-seat coupé with a body designed by coachbuilder Pininfarina. Lamboghini liked Ferrari’s cafrs but not too much. He thought that they are too noisy and rough to be proper road cars. He found that the clutches used in Ferrari’s cars were of low quality. required continuous trips to Maranello for rebuilds; technicians would secret the car away for several hours to perform the work, much to Lamborghini's annoyance. Conflict with Enzo Ferrari During 1960’s, Ferrari’s cars were the most successful and top on the list. Lamborghini fixed the problem of the clutch by replacing Ferrari’s clutch with his tractor’s clutch. Lamborghini decided to tell Ferrari about imperfections of his car and hoe to repair them. Considering Ferrari was the top dog of car businesses, he did not like a tractor mechanic telling...

...Ngô Nhật Vy 1401025162 – K53CLC3 EFFECTS OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT LEADS ON MERCHANISM WHICH CAN LEAD TO SPILL-OVERS FDI has been considered as an important development tool, especially for countries at low level of industrial development. Receiving FDI bears two different sides of effects: positive and negative. One of that effect is spill-overs. Spill-over effect occurs when there is a gap of advanced production technology, managerial knowledge, and working practices between the receiver and the donator. Frequently, transnational corporation (TNCs) required domestic company to adjust new systems in order to remain market share and gain profit. Therefore, spill-over effect can be considered as the result of activity of FDI investor and modifications of local corporations. There are four types of spill-over effect: the labor mobility channel, demonstration channel, the forward and backward linkages and the competition channels. The labor mobility channel The movement of skilled personnel from foreign firms to domestic firms helps transferred advanced technology and management skills. Thanks to labor mobility, positive spill-over can be created by two ways: employees applied what they have learned to domestic companies or established the new ones. The demonstration channel It is one of the most important channel to create positive FDI effect There are three ways to transfer technology * Internal transfer: the transfer between parent company or TNC and...

...Ferrari Business Strategy International Organizations Enzo Ferrari founded Ferrari in 1929, born out of Modena, Italy under the name Scuderia Ferrari, translated literally as ‘Ferrari Stable’; it was originally set up as a sponsor for amateur drivers and manufacturer of racing cars. In its early days Ferrari used to prepare and race drivers in Alfa Romeo cars up until 1938, Enzo Ferrari was then hired by Alfa Romeo to head their motor racing department. The early 1940’s saw the arrival of The War in Italy and as a result Alfa Romeo was taken over by the fascist government of Mussolini in order to aid the war effort. Due to contract restrictions Enzo was restricted from racing cars for four years and for a short while Scuderia Ferrari became Auto Avio Costruzioni Ferrari; it was during this time the first Ferrari was produced, the Tipo 815. In 1943 the Ferrari factory moved to Maranello where it remains until this day, the factory was, however, bombed in 1944 and rebuilt a few years later, this time to include a division for the production of road cars although due to funding only the racing department was functional. Ferrari officially moved into the production of street legal vehicles in 1947 as Ferrari sPa, a joint stock company, it was during the same year that the first Ferrari road car was produced, the 125 S. Enzo reluctantly built and sold these cars purely to fund his love for racing and poured most of the company’s money into Scuderia Ferrari, the racing...

...What is electric car Electric car is an alternate fuel automobile that uses electricity instead of petrol or diesel. These automobiles have electric motors and controllers used for propulsion. These vehicles do not use the traditional or the common methods of propulsion like ICE (internal combustion engine). These cars are energy efficient and are capable of reducing city pollution because of the zero tail pipe emission. The functioning of the cars greatly depends on the quality of the battery used in the car. The poor battery may result into long hours of recharging and poor speed with poor acceleration. These cars are not practically suitable for long journey but can be a good transportation vehicle for everyday use and can be recharged overnight. Why electric car India has millions of people to house, power grids to expand and factories to fuel. They all involve hydrocarbons. How, then, is a developing economy to grow sustainably? One answer may lie in a small electric car. The advantages of electric cars are multiple and compelling. Instant torque for good initial acceleration, quiet operation, low local pollution, and ease of operation (Reva -a car with automatic gear shift)are among their many compelling virtues. The principal advantage for everyone in adopting electric cars is virtually eliminating urban air pollution. The civil advantages of electrics were recognized early. Thomas Edison created a pretty good nickel-iron battery a hundred years ago, and...
