Kudler Fine Foods, though fictitious, is doing very well for itself—even when compared to a large supermarket chain like Walmart. When dividing the Net Income of Kudler Fine Foods, $676,795.00, by the company’s Net Sales $10,796,200.00, we get a before-tax profit margin of 6.268%. This means that Kudler Fine Foods has almost double the pre-tax profit margin than Walmart’s post-tax profit margin of 3.515% (Ycharts, 2012). This means that unless the yearly taxes due for Kudler Fine Foods is about 50%, they will likely have higher profit margins than Walmart. That is pretty good for a fictitious company…

2007-2009 recession lead to an impact on the economy. Inflation, during 2007 to 2009 the recession to place and purchasing goods and other items went down. The businesses products started becoming less available meaning costs went up on everything and started the inflation.The recession resulted in unemployment making jobs more valuable.

Another question future investors should ask themselves when they are thinking about investing during a recession is if the "backbone" companies of the economy will still be around

All of this began with The National Bureau of Economic Research they began to notice the fall of many businesses in December 2007. The way they were able to notice the fall these businesses were by their gross domestic product ( GDP ). The first big problem with this was the recession of the housing-market. Not only that, but the employment rate had dropped dramatically when at that time it had just started to come back up. This really also discouraged a lot of people to go out and find

However, the market was changing prior to the downturn in the economy. There were signs that problems were developing in the US economy long before the actual, obvious trouble got started (Berezin, 2005; Dignam & Lowry, 2006). While it was unfortunate that many companies ignored those signs or simply did not know how seriously they should have been taken, other companies were aware of the signs and focused on which direction they should take in order to ensure that they had the most protection from economic difficulty.

Indeed use of third-party logistics (3PL) firms in transportation helps firms to meet complexities of global trade, worldwide increased competition, as well as the constant downward pressure in terms of prices and margins. This is in a bid to build up better logistic systems that can fulfill their needs for better services at a lower cost. Among the reasons as to why companies use 3PL firms is to outsource non-strategic activities which enables organizations to concentrate on the major competencies as well as to exploit external logistics expertise, (Ivan Su Hertz, Susanne, 2009). These third party firms have the capability of developing unique assets, acquiring the necessary resources and achieving superior logistics performance using 3PL relations. Companies therefore find it efficient and effective method of achieving the needed service with no engaging so much in investing new capabilities and in assets upon entering into a relationship with 3PL firms.

Given these differences, there are some specific challenges that global logistics managers must consider. Figure 1, adapted from Helferich and Cook, illustrates some of the generic global and domestic institutions critical in supply chain logistics. These institutions are the organizations that must collaborate and coordinate to move product and information from the raw material stage to the ultimate consumer. To effectively achieve this objective, global logistics managers must manage the “Five V’s” across the top of the figure. The first challenge is to provide the consumer with better value in return for their dollar. While the firm may see global sourcing as a means to reduce material or component costs, the only value that is relevant for consumers is a reduction in total landed

The advancement of technology is changing the way businesses execute their logistics strategy. Businesses are now forced to leave their traditional way of doing business and adopting new methods and processes as a result of the Information Technology Era. Information technology has made the competition fiercer than ever before the internet is opening up the door for more markets to take advantage of the benefits that IT has to offer which leads to the markets competing to lower their prices in order to steal market share (Impact of eCommerce in Today’s Business World, 2015). Just because a company is successful and one of the leading businesses in

The biggest challenge faced by the organised logistics companies in India today, is competition from the unorganized operators. This is coupled with increasing environmental pressures, government regulations and subsidies for infrastructure development. Adding to all these, is the lack of “Industry status” to the logistics sector.
