- THE NISSAN LEAF With environmental concerns growing among consumers, rising gasoline prices and a desire for a reliable vehicle, Nissan embarked on becoming the first to develop an electric vehicle. The Nissan Leaf was rolled out for public purchase in 2008. Nissan has remained a leader in the electric vehicle market. A number of stakeholders in the automobile industry and other interest groups, will be leading the way in lobbying the Government of Jamaica to reduce the import duty on electric vehicles coming into the island. The need for this move came out of last Wednesday’s (September 27), Electric Vehicle Seminar hosted by JPS and the USAID Caribbean Clean Energy Programme, held at the Spanish Court Hotel in New Kingston. It was recognized that the import duty as high as over 60% is prohibitive to the purchase of these vehicles. “Electric vehicles have a positive contribution to make to our economy,” JPS Senior Vice President of Energy Delivery, Sheree Martin, pointed out. “Not…arrow_forwardWalmart is the world’s largest retailer with $401 billion in sales for the fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2009.

It strove to improve the in-store experience for shoppers, added cafes, and experimented with new concepts. Such a strategy may have worked a few decades earlier, but while Borders was investing in physical real estate, shoppers were flocking to the Internet. Borders was left with a conflicted strategy: Declining sales forced it to close hundreds of stores (including its entire Waldenbooks chain), while it doubled down on other retail outlets. Unfortunately, it treated the Internet like a passing trend instead of as a transformational phenomenon. The company outsourced its Web operation to Amazon—which obviously became a fierce rival. It waited until 2008 to develop its own Web strategy. Meanwhile, Amazon became the dominant player in online bookselling and e-books, introducing the Kindle e-reader. Its big brickand-mortar rival, Barnes & Noble, a…arrow_forward
