Questions 191 through 195 refer to the following chart and memo.
Customer Survey Results, March 2006 The following chart shows the results of a recent survey carried out over a four week period at six different branches of Buyways. Customers were given a form to fill in after they had finished shopping and were asked to consider the following reasons for choosing Buyways as their regular supermarket: * Quality -Is quality of the products on sale a significant factor in choosing Buyways? * Price -Are prices at Buyways competitive, and does this influence your decision to shop here? * Range of products -Does Buyways offer a wide range of goods, and how important is this to you? * Service -How important is selVice, and does this influence your decision to shop here? * Advertising -Did you come here as a result of our advertising? If so, please specify. How important is advertising in shaping your choice of supermarket? * Location -How important is location: distance from home/office, availability of other amenities, transportation, etc.? Please specify.

Memo To: Andy Gilbert, Jane Patel, Michael Alans From: Jimmy McClellan

Re: Customer Survey Date: April 3, 2006 The results of the survey have been tabulated, and this is what they look like. I'm reasonably satisfied, but on reflection, I think we should have worked the questions so that we got more detailed answers. For instance, it's not clear whether customers just don't care much about service, or whether they think we don't offer very good service. There's a pretty significant difference between the two. But anyway, I think it gives us something to base future advertising and promotional campaigns around. As age increases, customers claim that advertising affects their decisions less. So we might want to focus future campaigns on our younger customers. I'm not going to comment on everything here - I'll save that for Friday's meeting. However, I do want you all to look at the chart carefully and bring some concrete ideas with you on Friday. Question 191: What information is shown in the chart? Choose one answer. a. Reasons why people shop at one particular supermarket chain b. Reasons people are dissatisfied with most supermarket chains c. Reasons why people choose supermarkets near their homes d. Reasons people watch advertising Question 95 Marks: 5 What do the recipients of the memo probably do? Choose one answer. a. Work as sales clerks for Buyways b. Work in the advertising department of Buyways c. Work as suppliers for Buyways d. Work as shelf stackers Question 96 Marks: 5 What criticism does Jimmy McClellan make of the survey? Choose one answer. X X

a. The answers are ambiguous. b. The data took too long to collate. c. The sample group of customers was too large. d. A lot of the forms were not filled in accurately. Question 97 Marks: 5 Who claimed to be most affected by advertising? Choose one answer. a. Shoppers in their 20S b. Shoppers in their 30S c. Shoppers in their 40S d. Shoppers in their 50S Question 98 Marks: 5 Why doesn't Jimmy McClellan give a detailed analysis in the memo? Choose one answer. a. He didn't have enough time. b. He doesn't like writing. c. He is waiting until he meets the other in person. d. He didn't have enough paper. Question 99 Marks: 5 X

Dear Sirs, I recently ordered several items from the Eden Mail Order Fall catalog. This is the first time that I have used your services.

I easily qualified for this but on receiving my credit card statement, I discovered I had been charged $20 for delivery.Despite three phone calls to your customer service agents, this, has yet to be rectified. Next, of the five items which I ordered, three were the wrong color, and four were the wrong size. Again, despite several phone calls, I am still waiting for replacements.

Question 56 Marks: 5 Questions 158-160 refer to the following memo. To: The Staff From: Eddie Bauer, President Subject: Office Supplies Date: June 30 As you know, the recent recession has forced us to cut costs in many areas. One area where people have not been fully cooperating is in regard to office supplies. For this reason the following guidelines are being put in place: 1. Dave Smith has been designated as in charge of all supplies. All supplies must be checked through him with your signature and his before they are removed from the storeroom. 2. There are monthly limits to how much of each item can be borrowed each month. Anything exceeding these amounts must be approved by your manager and Dave Smith, and the justification must be given in writing. Along with these guidelines, here are some additional suggestions with regard to conservation of these materials: 1. Hang on to your pens! We go through far too many pens in this office, this can only be because people are carelessly losing them. 2. People should always print on both sides of office paper before recycling, unless this is for official business correspondence. 3. Folders and binders can be used again once old projects are completed. The cost of these items adds up!

I develop customer relationship management strategies on a daily basis for my clients and I am NEVER easily impressed with customer service in any industry. In fact, my motto had been that customer service is mediocre at best. I am glad to say that DBX Studio proved me wrong and my web site is clear proof of that! When I first talked to Douglas, one of your associates, on the phone, I knew he was the right web designer for me even though we had never met or spoken before. I was impressed most with Douglas' commitment to my work and his willingness to educate me about the web design process. Throughout my experience with DBX Studio I was always very satisfied with prompt and reliable service. Douglas told me that I could reach him at almost anytime. Now this is unheard of, and it is a great example of the kind of personal customer service today's businesses should strive for. I remember times when Douglas told me he would be until 1 am or so on my web site to meet our deadlines. And sure enough, I would receive e-mails the next morning that were received anywhere from 1 to 3 am. Thank you so much for all of your help ---- the web site looks terrific! I look forward referring many of my clients to you. Sincerely, Scott Hatheaway President of Speedenix

To: All Members of the Board From: James Rotner Date: November 28th, 2006 Subject: Meeting to discuss shortage of automobile parts I am calling a meeting at 3 p.m. tomorrow to discuss the shortage of automobile parts for the upcoming holiday season. Some of you have already mentioned that various components are hard to obtain from the usual sources. We have looked into the matter, and it turns out the main reason we are experiencing difficulty with our usual sources is because our competitor, Fenway Automobiles, has recently offered them a much more lucrative contract. It is important that we obtain the needed items soon, through finding new suppliers. Unless we do so, we may not be able to meet our holiday deadline. As you all know, the demand for new automobiles goes up at the end of the year, and we want to make sure we meet the demand for cars on time. It is no secret that Fenway Automobiles has been giving us a good run for our money. I believe that this holiday season is our chance to rise above the competition and find a firm, unshakable foothold in the industry. Therefore, it is crucial that everyone attend this meeting. Also, I would appreciate it if you came with any ideas concerning useful strategies against Fenway Automobiles. If you have any additional questions or suggestions, be sure to contact me or my secretary . To: James Rotner From: Rachel Cooper Date: November 29th, 2006 Subject: [RE]: Meeting to discuss shortage of automobile parts I am sorry but I don't think I will be able to attend the meeting you called this afternoon because I have a doctor's appointment at 2:30. However, I know someone who may be able to get into contact with new suppliers if we should need them. Although these suppliers seem to want a higher price, it will probably be hard to find other suppliers willing to work together so late in the year. I will get back to you after collecting more information.

Bad News for Our Economy -Experts Forecast a Rapid Recession during Second Half of the Year April 6th, 2006 Many forecasting experts have announced that they have determined a recession in progress, with its cycle peak estimated to be in October 2006. The recession could be set in motion by a decline in consumer purchasing, since consumers are becoming more sensible about what they buy. A more likely cause would be failure of economic growth. However, these are causes speculated by the public. Andrew Bushee, an expert at Anderson Center at the University of California, outlines three main reasons for the recession visible on the horizon. He lists the recent power crisis, inflation concerns, and significant global trade imbalances. At a press conference last week, he announced that a

tight financial budget for the next year will be required to overcome th~ recession. Top on the list of government priorities, according to this budget plan, should be allocating more time and effort to sectors of the economy which will be most effective in stimulating economic growth and development. According to the econometric model used by certain forecasters, the probability of a looming recession is as high as 90%. So far, a dwindling GDP, hiking unemployment, reduced investment, and job cuts have been predicted. JOB CUT ANNOUNCEMENT Due to the recent recession in economy, we are announcing a cut of an additional 500 jobs over the next two years. The job cut will just be a part of our restructuring plan. Losing more than JO percent of our work force will be an aspect of the plan that is essential in orderto reduce costs and become more efficient in our operating margin. Iriaddition to cutting a number of employees, we ask remaining employees to take salary cuts and trim expynses to the bone.
