Future competition not only exists in the products and channels, but also exists in the resource\nintegration and terminal consumers. O2O mode is new commerce model which does a deeper explore\nto the sales channels, and has a very good prospect. But there are certain obstacles in its development.\nThis paper analyzes their respective advantages of two kinds of sale models under the\nbackground of electronic commerce, including online electricity sales mode and offline store sales\nmodel. Then it points out the problems that are needed to solve in the development process of\nO2O mode. At last, this paper analyzes the five networks needing to be built in the process of O2O\nmodel integration....
We use financial ratios of eleven countries such as Malaysia, Japan, USA, Canada, Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, China, India, Australia, and Cayman Islands in retail industry over the period of 2008 to 2012 to examine corporate characteristics. Hypothesis one is that there are statistically significant differences of financial ratios in retail industry of 11 Asian and American countries. This statement is supported by results of Kruskal Wallis Test. By ANOVA, ROE between Brazil and Thailand, and solvency ratio among Japan, Canada, Thailand and Australia are statistically significantly different from each other.Hypothesis two: Profitability ratios of Japanese Companies are the lowest among 11 countries. This hypothesis is supported partially by ROA except India, both ROE and ROCE except India and Brazil among eleven countries. Not supported by profit margin. Hypothesis 3: Relationship between sales growth ratio and profitability ratios is positive. The positive relationship can be seen in correlations analysis with statistically significant value of sales growth ratio with ROE, ROCE and ROA except profit margin....
As the name of a country is negatively seen due to certain unpleasant incidents, re-imaging is obviously\nimportant and Ethiopia is affected by early derogatory histories which force the modern\nreaders and viewers conception to be shaped by stories of wars and natural disasters including\nfamine crisis that highly affect the destination brands especially the re-imaging effort. On this regard,\nEthiopia was analyzed from the context of the tourists and some concerned organization so\nas to identify the possibility of re-imaging the country by using destination branding practices. To\nmeet the goal, the study used mixed research approach and samples of 368 respondents were selected\nrandomly to fill the questionnaires and out of it, 316 of them were collected and analyzed\nusing both descriptive and inferential statistics accordingly to test the hypothesis and reach the\nconclusions. The output reflects the destination marketing facts and insights in general, and recommendations\nare provided on how to re-image Ethiopia through destination branding which can\nbe possible using branding techniques that could bring significant changes over stereotypes developed\nbecause of incidents that happen in the past....
Agricultural cold chain logistics provides an important safeguard for the production of the agricultural\nproducts and the safety of Circulation quality. The fresh agricultural products cold chain\nlogistics certification plays a role in agriculture quality mainly from these areas: Improving the\nsafety traceable of agricultural products, enhancing the supervision efficiency of agricultural products,\nenhancing the discipline of agricultural supply chain and strengthening consumers� awareness.\nThis paper analyzes the connotation and main features of agricultural cold chain logistics\ncertification system and dissects authentication mechanism of agricultural products cold chain for\nthe agricultural product safety certification, and proposes the development ideas of agricultural\ncold chain logistics certification....
Based on in-country consultations, capacity to provide high-quality TB/TBHIV services\nis sub-optimal and not unrelated to weak supervision. Within the National TB Program (NTP)\nin Nigeria, supervision is entirely paper based; time consuming and structured in a way that rapid\nreview of results is neither available nor timely resolution of problems. Objective: Describe the\nvalue of smart phones in improving quality of supervision. Methods: This is a descriptive study.\nWith the NTP open to exploring innovative ways of strengthening supervision, Health Systems\n20/20 in collaboration with the NTP proposed a pilot use of smart phones for supervision at\nhealth facilities, with focus in Abia state. The State was purposively selected for the study. A stakeholders\nmeeting was convened to fully engage all key TB partners. Situation analysis was conducted\nin Abia state, a south-east state selected for the pilot, out of which 4 facilities were identified.\nNational and state supervisory checklists were reviewed, programmed & uploaded unto the\nsmart phones. The State TB teams were trained on the use of the smart phone & 6 supervisory visits\nwere conducted within 4 consecutive quarters in Abia state for each facility. Results: Within the\npilot sites, the smart phones were noted to be user friendly with rapid review of results done at\neach visit. Immediate feedback and corrective action for identified challenges were made. However,\nthe record of previous findings and recommendations could not be retrieved on the spot during\nsubsequent visits due to storage capacity of the phone. The time spent on supervision was reduced\nto 2 hrs per facility using the smart phones compared to 4 hrs when using the paper based\nat other sites. With scale up from 4 to 45 DOT centers, the treatment success rate in the state TB\nprogram increased from 76% in 2011 to 85% in 2012 reporting year, for cases registered in the\nprevious year. Conclusions: NTP through support of other partners should adopt and scale up the\nuse of smart phones for supervision nationwide....
