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)

Passage Three

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something.

His purpose is settled and decided. He knows what he wants and he just finds it and buys it, but cares little about the price. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman quickly takes it out, and the business of trying it on follows at once. If all is well, the deal(买卖) can be and is often completed in less than five minutes, with hard any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.

For a man, small problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman tries to sell the customer something else—he offers the nearest he can to the thing asked for. He would say, "I know this jacket is not the style. you want, Sir, but would you like to try it on for size？ It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience (耐心 ) with this treatment, and the usual answer is, "This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on."

Now how docs a woman go about buying clothes？ In almost every respect (方面) she does so quite differently. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind about what she wants, and she is only "having a look around". She is always open to what the salesman tells her, even to what her friends tell her. She will try on any number of things. What is most important in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Besides, most women have an excellent sense of value when they boy clothes. The), are always ready for the unexpected bargain (便宜货). Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one counter to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It takes time, but surely it is enjoyable to women shoppers. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

44. When a man is buying clothes, ______.

A. he buys cheap things and does not care about the quality

B. he chooses things that others recommend

C. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things

D. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too expensive

Nowadays a superficial traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction of village commerce, but its vigor is still remarkable.

Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queueing up anonymously at a supermarket. And the proprietor knows well that personal service has a substantial cash value.

His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch, hour to take a piece of cheese to an old-age pensioner who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them.

The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce.

Most of the village shopkeepers I know, at any rate, are decidedly individualist in their ways. For exampie, our shoemaker is a formidable figure: a thick-set, irritable man whom children treat with marked respect, knowing that an ill-judged word can provoke an angry eruption at any time. He stares with contempt at the pairs of cheap, mass-produced shoes taken to him for repair: has it come to this, he seems to be saying, that he, a craftsman, should have to waste his skills upon such trash？ But we all know he will in fact do excellent work upon them. And he makes beautiful shoes for those who can afford such luxury.

The services available in villages nowadays are

A．fewer but still very active.

B．less successful than earlier but managing to survive.

C．active in providing food and antiques.

D．surprisingly energetic considering the little demand for them.

ers are gainingplenty of convenience — and also taking on extra risks. Hackers are poised tosteal the funds and identities of shoppers who don’t take steps to protectthemselves.

LogRhythm, a cyber security company, points out that because so many people now shop from mobile devices, which are often less protected thancomputers, information technology workers expect a rise in cyber crime thisholiday shopping season. IT workers surveyed by the company said they were mostconcerned with phishing attacks, where hackers pretend to be reputablecompanies and persuade victims to share their personal information, such ascredit card numbers, with them.

One of the most common methods is for a hacker to send an email to avictim claiming to be from a bank, retailer, or other company that then directsthem to another site, which then captures their personal information. (That’sone reason to avoid clicking on hyperlinks from inside emails, even if theyappear to be from a recognizable company.)

To avoid that kind of scam and others, here are the latest tips onhow to stay safe while shopping online:

● Skip attachments and hyperlinks. LogRhythm warns that evenattachments from people you know can be nefarious, since those acquaintancescould be infected with a computer virus themselves. If the email containsunusual or scant wording, don’t open the attachment. The same logic applies tohyperlinks in emails (or requests for information received over text message);LogRhythm recommends first hovering over the link to make sure it’s going todirect you to a valid address.

● Don’t make purchases over coffee shop-lattes. Any public wi-ficonnection, such as those offered at coffee shops or libraries, carry extrarisks, since they aren’t private. LogRhythm recommends against shopping onlineor engaging in any financial transactions, such as logging into your bankaccount, from such hot spots.

● Protectyour smartphone. Web browsers and retailer apps on mobile devices make it easyto shop on the go, but doing so can also expose shoppers to extra risks sincemany phones don’t have the same kind of data encryption that’s often installedon computers. Even taking a relatively simple step, such as enabling thepassword lock feature on your phone, will make it harder for a thief to accessprivate data stored on the phone in case it’s lost or stolen. Computer securitycompany McAfee also warns against downloading apps that might steal personalinformation. (to be continued)

●Don’t trust your “friends”. Hackers target social media, includingFacebook and Twitter, because they know it’s easier to get people to click on alink that appears to be recommended from a friend. McAfee has identified dozensof examples, including free dinner offers at Cheesecake Factory and fakemystery shopping invitations. Offers that sound too good to be true, such asfree iPads or free iPhones, are also a common lure. The company cautionsagainst clicking on fake alerts from friends, who may have been hackedthemselves, and avoiding shortened links on Twitter that claim to offer deals.

● Open e-cards with caution. They can be cute, but they can also bemalicious. McAfee warms that some e-cards download viruses onto your computerwhen you download them. To avoid that outcome the company suggests only openinge-cards from domain names that you recognize as big e-car sites.

● Upgrade your passwords. The holiday season can serve as a good reminderto give your passwords a makeover; security experts recommend changing themregularly as a precaution against hackers. Avoid common and simple words, uselong combinations of words that also incorporate numbers or symbols, and neveruse duplicate passwords for multiple accounts.

● Check up on an e-retailer before making purchases. Some fly-by-nightoperations take advantage of the uptick in shopping around the holiday seasonto collect cash without ever mailing out the goods in return, warms the BetterBusiness Bureau. To protect yourself, the bureau recommends never wiring moneyor paying in advance.

● Review your statements. The first sign of identity theft is oftenan unfamiliar charge on a credit card or bank statement; reviewing thosestatements carefully and contacting your bank or card provider with anyconcerns can prevent a theft from expanding. Credit card usually come with somemeasure of automatic protection, as long as you report the scam relativelyquickly.
