Case Analysis: Synnex International
Background After two decades of successful expansion and redefining the high-tech product distribution system, Synnex International must make a decision on where it will go next. Founding President Evans Tu has seen the firm grow from a local electronics distribution channel in Taiwan into a worldwide powerhouse in product distribution with vendors knocking on doors requesting expansion into new markets.

In a way, Synnex operates under the Supermarket Principle. The principle tells us that making tiny margins on products that move very quickly will result in large profits. For Synnex, the way to please smaller customers was to sell smaller orders and make frequent deliveries, which ended up increasing revenue exponentially. While this distribution giant is not exactly like a supermarket, this concept was beneficial to the retailer in several ways. First, it means that the retailer does not have to manage excess inventory and waste money on extra product that will not sell. Secondly, without extra inventory, Synnex is reducing its customers' risk of accruing bad debt. And finally, the super-efficient delivery system makes customer feel confident that they can expect an order guaranteed within two half-days. Building this sense of trust is what has turned Synnex into such an international giant, but the company must remain aware of delivery costs and time spent assembling complicated orders. Synnex has expanded in a few different ways, and can choose between these methods and others for future expansions. The case mentions that the company acquired multiple smaller distribution companies in various countries, and quickly turned them into money-makers by applying the principles of “the Synnex way.” Synnex has also opened many expensive logistics

The United States Court of appeals ruled that the suppressed evidence is purely impeaching evidence and no defense request has been made, the suppressed evidence is material only if its introduction probably would have resulted in acquittal. Given a minor role of Phillips' testimony and the limited impact that Phelps statement had on the jury's assessment of Phillips credibility, Maddox could not demonstrate that so the evidence probably would have resulted in an acquittal. Also, the evidence was immaterial under United States V.Blasco; the defendant filed a joint motion to suppress all physical evidence gathered by the officers and any statements made by the defendant. The magistrate found that the defendant did not have to raise a fourth amendment challenge and its suppression did not violate his (Maddox’s) due process right. For ongoing reasons, the district court's dismissal of Maddox's habeas petition was affirmed.

According to the case study, the Quebec and Ontario markets account for 69 percent of the company’s sales in Canada.

Even though this would be a major policy change from the current global strategy of Saralyn Mills, case facts prove it could be very effective.
