The Australian economy has continued to grow at a moderate pace and activity is rebalancing away from the resources sector towards non-resource sectors. Even though the available data suggest that GDP continued to grow at a below-trend pace over 2016, employment growth was above average and the unemployment rate fell by around ½ percentage point. In part, employment growth appears to have reflected the relatively strong growth of output in the more labour-intensive sectors of the economy, such as household services. Growth of goods-related production has picked up more recently, but remains modest overall.

Australia’s economy over the past decade has improved steadily. Over the 2004 – 2013 period, the GDP averaged at USD1.05 trillion1 and rise in GDP per capita from USD30,449 in 2004 to USD67,4732 in 2013.

Natureview is in a situation to increase its revenues by more than 50% to make itself attractive for new investment or a probable acquisition, as the existing venture capital firm (VC) needed to cash out. The issue at hand is to decide whether to expand into supermarket channel to meet the revenue goal and at the same time retain its long-standing natural foods channel partners. Alternative financing is also extremely difficult until the VC cashed out. I recommend Natureview develop a market strategy to launch the children’s multipacks – both 6 pack of 4 Oz cups and 8 pack of 2 oz tubes – with the name Natureview Yocubz into its natural foods channel supported by marketing promotions targeting children and their mothers and to position it as

According to Natureview’s employees, “Natureview’s all-natural ingredients would deliver the most ideal positioning from which to launch their own children’s multi-pack product, which would offer into their core sales channel” (p.8). According to exhibit 5, Natureview accounts for 24% of the yogurt sales in natural foods channels. Natureview is the leading product in sales for natural foods channels and if they were to expand to supermarkets, then the product would account for less than 5% of the sales initially. If Natureview were to expand to supermarket channels, then they would have to mark down their prices of yogurt to 15% lower than what they sell at the natural foods channels. There is a potential risk of long-term partners of Natureview and current customers may have a bad reaction to the Natureview expanding in supermarkets and marking down their yogurt prices. There would be the possibility of Natureview’s current natural foods channels dropping the brand and replacing it with competitor’s line due to the brand expanding to supermarkets and selling at lower prices. There is also a possibility that Natureview wouldn’t survive in the supermarket channel against competitors. Some of Natureview’s employees feel that Natureview’s brokers do not possess the resources or skills to adequately sell their products in

In future maintain 5% of stores as mini-supermarkets in her development target. 759 STORE did its best to conduct “lower margin with high turnover” policy. Through this 3 years effort on active developing direct import model, it was grateful that 759 STORE had not only built up supplies with food distributors and manufacturers of Japan and other countries, but also a smooth import operation with substantial procurement scale. To avoid any conflict on product price setting with traditional market players, the Group would take further step to increase the proportion of direct import and much fully exclude the supply of local suppliers who were difficult to have price negotiation with and did not allow 759 STORE to set product prices independently.
