Again, the organizations have to bear significant labor costs due to the manual system of data transfer regarding product information.

Coles have suppliers within Australia as well as from countries like India, China and Bangladesh. Due to this, they were lacking best practice opportunities of factory gate pricing and reverse logistics (Coles Centenary 2015)

Hong Kong and Korea - Citibank has been managing Diners Club business in both markets. We recommend Citibank to focus on improving the current customer service quality, deepening its relationship with these customers before introducing its credit card business.

Let us explore some factors that AHFC can implement to get
