It has 741 stores nationally, including 45 BI-LO Supermarkets that also stock Coles private label brands, and more than 100,000 employees. Coles was founded by George James (G.J.) Coles when what was called the "Coles Variety Store" opened on 9 April 1914 in Smith Street in the Melbourne suburb of Collingwood. Expansion to more stores occurred and the chain was regarded as leaders in providing value to Australian shoppers (G. J. Coles learned the retail trade working for his father's "Coles Store" business at Wilmot, Tasmania between 1910 and 1913). Coles' interest in food retailing was spurred in 1958 when it acquired 54 John Connell Dickins grocery stores. It then acquired the Beilby's chain in South Australia in 1959 and 265 Matthews Thompson grocery stores in New South Wales in...

...Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for the Coles Group of Australia By Aruna Kulatunga MGG9352 Management Processes and Systems. Semester 1, 2007 Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for Coles Group Executive Summary The Coles Group of Australia has allowed its competitive advantage to slip away to rival Woolworth by failing to differentiate its core strategies and by failing to articulate well the strategies that could have been differentiated. In a bid to gain competitive advantage, this report suggests that the Coles Group should look beyond the company boundaries, extending its value chain to suppliers, partners and customers in a seamless manner, employ process like Total Quality Management and Business Process Reengineering in extending the value chain, bedded in a well structured change management programme and look towards globalisation and franchising along with such counter-intuitive, yet innovative, location strategies such as competitive clustering and saturation marketing to regain its competitive advantage. Page 2 23/10/07 Looking Beyond The Boundaries – A strategy to gain competitive advantage for Coles Group Introduction Strategy gurus Porter (1998, p. 2), Mintzberg (1994), Hamel (1998), Hamel and Prahalad, (1994) Champy and Nohria (1996) and Hammer (quoted in Champy and Nohria, (1996)) agree in principle that in order to meet business needs, specific actions need to be...

They are able to utilize this Business Intelligence resource to more closely and accurately monitor customer satisfaction, increase their customer retention rates and at the same time improve the scalability of their business, without added capital expenditure. They offer an app download on their homepage (eCourier, 2014 ) that allows customers to track the delivery in real-time. On ‘chatting’ with a customer service rep, “Nicola”, the author was informed that eCourier actually offers a customer a real-time video feed of their package from pickup to delivery. This is a unique use of IS technologies and would offer a customer a unique level of customer interaction and service. Utilizing a service such as this would offer a strategic advantage above its competitors. b. Cablecom: This company uses statistical software for data mining and survey creation.

Godfrey Date: 6/1/2015 Re: Surveillance by national security agencies Wiki leak is an organization that deals with journalistic activities involving the publishing of information considered secret with unknown sources. Recently documents came up known as the Snowden documents showing how staff working for wiki leaks have been victims of surveillance by both the United states as well as British national security agencies. This was a very serious document that show how agencies of the government go to the extents of tapping communication channels for those working at wiki leaks together with those who support it. It has been a very crucial aspect that puts into spotlight the ethics surrounding the whole situation. This surveillance is not backed by warrants and this makes it illegal for the agencies to perform such activities. It is a form of violation of privacy and it also violates people’s right to express themselves as well as do their activities at their own privacy. It creates a sense of being watched. Just think when you are under surveillance you are being watched, making it possible for people to get the following information: 1. Name 2. Birthdate 3. Social Security Number 4. Address 5. Personal Information 6. Banking Information Scary is it? The next time you are under...

...Final Analysis Brandon E. Knight Bis/221 01/26/2015 Robert Chubbuck Final Analysis Utilization of Social Media to Positively Impact The Collegiate Experience The use of social media in the realm of academia has becoming less of an option and more of a requirement in today's technological age. The current student population on today's college and university campuses is such that they (students) come to campus already well versed and deeply ensconced in social media. They utilize it as a matter of habit as a means of communicating with each other, their family and friends back home as well as many other platforms. I am making this presentation to President Harrelson in hopes of improving the use of social media to enhance the student monitor current issues and trends, as well as impact retention. The monetary outlay and impact on the fiscal resources of the university will be small. An upgrade of the storgage capacity for Facebook and Twitter accounts my be necessary. Revision and upgrading of the campus WiFi has already been completed as a part of the Academic program enhancement project completed at the end of the previous semester. Consultation with the university IT staff is currently underway. The review of the technology needs will be prepared and ready for review in thirty days. The university already has a Facebook page (account). This proposal includes a revision and enhancement of the current Facebook page (account) as well as the addition of an...

...Wireless Technologies and Networks in the Workplace Summary Anthony Flynn BIS/221 December 8, 2014 Professor Lisa Hatherill During Week Four of our collaborative discussion. Our group discussed the advantages and disadvantages of Technology in the workplace. Even though I did comment on anything in the discussion I was reading and researching the topic at hand. Technology in the workplace improves communication. Employees in different departments can communicate with each other with the ease of just sending an email or text message or by even skyping with one another. It also saves times! The use of computers to accomplish specific tasks at work creates room of making corrections on instant and it also reduces on human errors. Just as some things have advantages there come disadvantages. Technology in the workplace also causes distractions in the workplace. Instead of accomplishing the tasks at hand they might get on youtube and watch a video. It may make employees lazy and too dependent on technology. It also kills creativity and skills. In conclusion to this summary I identified some pros and some cons to Technology and Networks in the workplace. Comes to show that though we like the advantages of Technology in the workplace it also comes with challenges. Making it risky. References Children's online privacy protection act (COPPA). (n.d.).
