Introduction

Marks & Spencer Plc (from now on M&S) is an international retailer with 718 locations across 34 countries. The group sells clothing, footwear, gifts, home furnishings and foods under the St. Michael trademark in its chain of 294 stores in the United Kingdom. Approximately half of the group's overseas stores are franchised to local partners. The group also owns the clothing retailer Brooks Brothers and the Kings Super Markets chain in the United States of America. Direct mail helps M&S meet the core objective of providing customers with wider, easier access to their products such as home furnishings, flowers, hampers and wine. The financial services comprise of operations of the groups financial services companies providing account cards, personal loans, unit trust management, life assurance and pensions. Retailing accounted for 96% of fiscal 2000 revenues and financial services, 4%.
The company was always considered to have a great management support that helped in its growth. But the last years, M&S’s managers seem to fail on their strategic decisions, leading the group to lower and lower sales and profits. The share price is also dropping and shareholders feel insecure for the future (figure 2). Group structure and financial performance

The group’s performance measures for the year ended at 31 March were disappointing (figure-5). The return on equity ratio and the earnings per share were zero as the company had only £1.3m profit this year. For the same reason, the dividend cover was also zero. Last year the dividend cover was 1,0p as the company paid the shareholders all its profit. For doing so the company had to cut the dividend from 14,4p to 9,0p. This year the company proposed the same dividend even though it had almost no profit.
The group reports the results of three operating divisions: the UK Retail, the International Retail and the Financial Services.

UK Retail division

The UK Retail division, the largest of the operating divisions, is itself sub-divided into seven business units, each representing a defined area of merchandise: Womenswear, Menswear, Lingerie, Childrenswear, Beauty, Home and Foods. The first six business units are reported as “General”, and footage is allocated between them depending on demand and seasonal factors. The space allocated to the largest single business unit, Foods, is relatively inflexible.
Financial results in the UK Retail showed a fall in both sales and operating profit. The reduction of the average selling price of general merchandise by approximately 2.5% coupled with a decline of some 1.5% in the number of units sold, contributed to the overall fall in general sales.

International Retail division

The International Retail business consists of three broad geographic areas: Europe (including Ireland but excluding the UK), North America and the Far East. The International Retail results include those of M&S’s franchise businesses, which, at 31 March 2001, operated 125 franchise stores in 26 countries. The European International Retail can be divided into the Continental Europe and the Republic of Ireland and European franchise businesses. In North America the group operates two businesses, Brooks Brothers and Kings Super Markets. At 31 March 2001 Brooks Brothers traded in 221 stores and Kings Super Markets had 27 stores. Finally in Far East the group operates 10 stores in Hong Kong.
All company’s businesses in this division performed better this year compared to last year, with the exception of Continental Europe’s Marks and Spencer stores which increased their losses.

Financial Services division

The company offers financial services such as account cards, personal loans, unit trust management, life assurance and pensions.
This year the company started accepting credit cards in its stores and sales transactions on the M&S charged card fell from 26% of total sales to 22%. The overall impact on charge card profitability was reduced by the inter-company receipt from UK Retail of £16.2 m and a reduction in operating expenses.

Shareholders disappointment

Here is an overview of last year’s news and events that would be of the interest of any present or future company’s shareholder.
In late May of 2000 M&S announced the cut of its dividend for the first time ever as it reported a sharp fall in profits. With a letter to all shareholders , the executive chairman Luc Vandevelde asked shareholders to be patient as the new management transforms the group from a traditional retailer into ¨a multi-channel retailer with unique customer understanding¨. We cannot compromise our future investment capacity, he said. He pointed out that the total dividend payout represents the group’s entire profit for the year 2000, but said that it meant that the company would not need to borrow to cover the dividend.
Two months later, Marks & Spencer PLC's executive chairman Luc Vandevelde said that five months into his new job he is "more convinced than ever" that the company will turn around, but stressed shareholders will have to be patient as there are no quick fixes.
Addressing 1,400 shareholders and 600 guests at the retailer's annual meeting, Vandevelde asked to be judged over a three-year period. He said his mission was to deliver sustainable growth. "You must recognise it will take some time to achieve this growth and translate it into added value." But Vandevelde avoided any promises of M&S returning to its historic levels of profitability. "I can't and I won't give you a forecast of future profit levels."
His words, though, were not enough to appease some shareholders. "Why has the board in the main got (pay) increases? They have failed," said one to loud applause, and added: "I blame Peter Salsbury largely. He is the chief executive." The shareholder asked Vandevelde to get Salsbury to say if he felt he deserved his pay increase last year. However, the chairman refused - "I think it would be unfair for Peter to answer that question."
In a largely good-natured annual meeting the typical theme of most other gripes was M&S' perceived failure to be selling what its customer want. "I rather feel most of your directors are sitting in ivory towers on Baker Street looking at balance sheets and not what the customers want," said one. Another declared: "M&S gives the impression its buyers have no idea how many people in this country are overweight and are not beautiful."

The shareholders disappointment and failure of previous years strategies was translated into the announcement of a new M&S top management team, at September 18 of 2000. Executive chairman Luc Vandevelde assumed the responsibilities of Chief Executive from Peter Salsbury. Peter Salsbury resigned the board and left the company. Nevertheless, two weeks after shares in M&S dipped below £2 for the first time in its history.
Investors service companies ratings were not promising, as well. Before the end of the year, Moody’s downgraded the company’s senior debt rating saying that the downgrade reflected its expectation that the management’s plan to restore M&S’s franchise quality ´´will face significant challenges in the highly competitive UK retail environment, and that the company’s financial measures are unlikely to recover meaningfully in the short term´´.
Three months later, at March 29 of 2001, date of the announcement of M&S wide-ranging strategic review, Standard & Poor ratings agency lowered its long-term ratings on M&S to ´AA minus´ from ´AA´ and placed its long and short-term ratings on the company on creditwatch with negative implications saying that the group’s performance continues to disappoint.

New Group Strategy and Structure

Following a wide-ranging and detailed strategic review of its business, the Board of M&S announced in March 29 of 2001 significant changes to the Group strategy and structure. The highlights of this new plan are:

a) Total focus on UK retail

The Company will return to selling only own brand products and brands exclusive to M&S so it can guarantee customers the quality, value and service they have come to expect. Central to the recovery plan is the delivery of significant improvements in product appeal, availability and value thereby rebuilding the relationships with core M&S customers.

 Recovery plan for Clothing

The Company has plans to regain the confidence of its customers in the quality and fit of its clothing. It will sharpen pricing by rebalancing the price architecture, extending the range of entry-price merchandise and communicating this clearly to customers.

 Expansion in growing product areas such as Food, Home and Beauty

M&S Foods continues to perform well and has earned customers' trust for providing quality, innovation and convenience. The business is a key platform for future growth and the Company is considering opportunities to expand its reach through new locations and selling channels.

The Home business is growing strongly, with home furnishings and gifts the fastest growing product areas. Beauty, albeit relatively small, is also growing rapidly. Both of these areas offer promising opportunities for development and will be expanded.

 Acceleration of store renewal programme

Accelerate Store Renewal Programme: M&S will accelerate the rollout of the successful elements of its new concept format under a plan to refurbish more stores faster and at lower cost. Two-thirds of its retail space (120 stores) will be completed by the end of the coming financial year, benefiting the majority of M&S's customers.

 More intensive use of space

Selling space will be reallocated to higher growth product areas to maximise returns per square foot. In total, 600,000 sq ft will be reallocated within the year to areas such as the new Clothing range supplied by George Davies, Home, 50 new Beauty Shops, and 30 new Coffee Shops.

 Being closer to the customer

In order to be more customer oriented, some stores in big cities will be opened 24 hours per day. By other hand, 125 stores in the UK will be modernised in order to create a more atractive, easy-to-shop environment for our customers. These stores represent two thirds of total UK stores. Modernisation investments will amount £100 million.

With all changes, the company expects to raise the operating profit in the UK by 10% aproximately (£40 million) per year.

b) Value realisation, cost cutting measures and closure of loss-making businesses

In order to focus all its efforts on the recovery of the UK business, Marks & Spencer intends to divest or close non-core businesses and assets, subject to consultation with its employees.

 Intention to close Continental European subsidiaries except the Irish ones

The Company intends to close its loss-making business in Continental Europe (France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg and Spain), affecting some 3,350 jobs. That business was not a success. In the last three years it has lost nearly £100 million, with a loss of £34 in the last 12 months. The stores were too big and the company hadn’t properly understood the markets before investing in them.
The Company's business in the Republic of Ireland is growing fast and profitably (£22,6 million in profits in 2001), therefore Marks & Spencer remains firmly committed to this business.
The budget of the sales price of these sales is £450 million, without considering the exceptionel charges of the restructuring, which have been included in the P&L of 2001. By other hand, during the year 2002 there will be some additional exceptionel charges (£26,4 million) in connection with the discontinued operations.

 Sale of profitable Brooks Brothers and Kings Super Markets in the US

The company also intends to dispose of its two profitable United States businesses, Brooks Brothers and Kings Super Markets. These operations do not provide an appropriate platform for future international expansion by Marks & Spencer.
The budgeted price of these sales are £550 million and £275 million respectively.

 Franchising of business in Hong Kong

The Company's 10 stores in Hong Kong will be sold to become a franchise. The budget of the sale amounts to £110 million. The franchise business, spanning 30 countries and operating with appropriate formats and strong local partners, continues to be successful.

 Intention to close Direct catalogue business in UK

Marks & Spencer intends to close its loss-making catalogue business including a dedicated call centre and fulfilment centre, with about 690 jobs affected in total. Although the joint Clothing and Home catalogue will be discontinued, Marks & Spencer is committed to maintaining its e-commerce web site: www.marksandspencer.com, as well as a Home brochure and a range of services including flower delivery. Last year losses of the direct catalogue unit have amounted £38,6 million. The budgeted cost of closing this unit is £35,5 million and has been included in the P&L of 2001.

 Release value from almost half the property portfolio

To reduce the dilution from the relatively low returns from property investment, M&S intends to release value from almost half of its extensive property portfolio (78 stores). That means that the company will rent instead of owning the property in which it operates. They are going to use the sale and lease back type of financing. Ownership of stores in prime locations will be retained to maintain maximum operational flexibility as well as capturing future increases in capital value. The budgeted price of these sales are £348 million.

 Cost cutting

To reduce the costs of goods sold using less suppliers and using foreign suppliers, mainly from Asia. At present UK suppliers represent 70% of total purchases. This % will be reduced till 25%. This measure will allow to reduce sales price and to increase profit.
To reduce general and administrative costs at the headquarters, where 350 jobs will be reduced.
With all this cost cutting measures, M&S plans to increase the operating profit by £100 per year.

c) Improved capital structure

 Working capital reduction

Another set of measures will pursue to reduce the investment in inventories by 10%. That means a reduction of £90 million.

 Return £2 billion of cash to shareholders by the end of March 2002

To create a more efficient capital structure and improve the potential for a faster rate of earnings growth Marks & Spencer intends to return £2 billion to shareholders by the end of March 2002. The release of value from almost half the company’s property portfolio and the sale of international subsidiaries will finance this decision. Following the return of cash to shareholders, Marks & Spencer will retain the financial strength and flexibility to fund future growth.

Financial Impact

The benefits to trading profit from the closure of the European subsidiaries and the changes to Direct will be about £50m in a full year. These measures will give rise to exceptional charges in the current year of £250 m to £300 m, in addition to the £42m already announced at the company’s Interim results for the cost of satellite closures in the UK. Some two thirds of the £250 to £300 m will be cash items covering closure costs and future trading losses.

Impact on People

While recognising the imperative to streamline Group operations, the Board of M&S expressed its understanding and regret for the painful effect this will have on the people involved. The total number of roles directly affected by the changes announced are estimated to be as follows:

Business Area Potential Reduction in Roles
Continental Europe 3350
Direct 690
Head Office 350
TOTAL 4390

Commenting on these developments Luc Vandevelde, Chairman and Chief Executive, said: "These changes put in place a clear, thorough and urgent plan for recovery based on the UK business. At the heart is a determination to restore an unquestioned reputation with our customers for quality, value, service and innovation. By creating a simpler more focused organisation we will be able to get on with what we do best, to be better positioned to deliver faster recovery and, in time, seize new opportunities both in the UK and abroad. We are confident that both customers and shareholders will benefit as a result. We recognise these changes will be painful for some of our people. We very much regret this but the decisions have not been taken lightly. They are essential to building a stronger future for Marks & Spencer."

Vandevelde conceded that with the benefit of hindsight he should have taken radical action earlier. "It is always easy in hindsight to say ´had I known six months ago what I know now, yes I would have done it earlier´. But it does take time to understand thoroughly the strategic strengths and weaknesses of a company of the size of M&S" he said.

Analysis of Mash

...MASH The first thing I noticed was the awesome theme music. I remember seeing reruns of M*A*S*H as a kid and turning the channel immediately because the opening theme made it sound like a drama and not something funny. So when the lyrics of the song are sung at the beginning of the film it catches me off guard. “Suicide is painless”, is one of the stupidest lyrics I think I've ever heard but I think that was the point of director Robert Altman. I later did some research and found out the song was written by the director's 14 year old son. Something else I noticed right off the bat was how familiar a lot of the faces were but I couldn't put a name on any of them until the credits rolled, Donald Sutherland, Elliot Gould, and Robert Duvall being the most familiar. Up until a few years ago I had no idea M*A*S*H was a movie before it was a show. So when we were assigned the film I had expectations of seeing some of the cast members of the series. Apparently I was wrong because I didn't see any whatsoever. From what I've read, the show is based on the movie, and the movie is based on the book so all the characters are exactly the same. I have to say this. Hawkeye and Trapper John are now two of my favorite movie characters of all time. Sutherland and Gould played their respective parts so nonchalantly that you forget they're both actually trained surgeons in the middle of a very bloody war. I have to admit the zaniness of the film touched a bit too close to something I would...

...All in the Family a show which aired from 1971-1983 was one of the most important and influential series that aired during the time frame mentioned above. This show did not shy away from addressing controversial or socially relevant issues. MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) aired from 1972-1983, this show was revolved around the 4077th MASH which was one of the surgical units stationed in Korea during the Korean War (1950-1953). The staff of a Korean War field hospital used humor to keep their sanity in the face of the horror of war. The issues that All in the Family addressed were religious, political, social and personal issues. Archie Bunker one of the main characters, was better known as a bigot, a prejudice blue collar backlasher against liberal and permissive values. He treated his wife Edith with no respect, always argued wit his daughter, and verbally assaulted his son-in-law. MASH addressed political and social issues. This show was mostly liberal and this show often criticized politicians who mired the United States in Vietnam (Davidson, Delay, Heyrman, Lytle, & Stoff pg. 932). Both All in the Family and MASH were condemned by the religious right because they believed that shows played a major role in corrupting the family values. Religious right considered the shows of the 1970s to being permissive, having positive portrayal of unmarried women, premarital sex along with drug use, profanity, homosexuality, nudity, violence and prejudices. The religious right was...

...renowned for its exavting manufacturing standards and its refusal to move down-market and compete on price. Miele bases nearly all its manufacturing in high-cost Germany and is self-sufficient to a high degree. Rather than outsource to low-cost supliers, it makes 4m electric motors ayear (enough for all its products) in its own plant near cologne. Which it says is essential to maintain its quality standards. Sales last year werw E2.2bn (L1.5bn) The approach commands respect among miele,s industry peers. ‘it is the Rolls-Royece of the industry, with a fantastic position at the top end,’ says Andrea Guerra, chief executive of Merloni, the italian white goods maker. But the domestiic appliance sector is one of europe’s most competitive and inevitably questions are being asked about how long miele can stick to what many see as its old-dashioned ways, before succumbing to lower-costt rivals. In fact, whether miele survives in its current form over the next decade will be an important test case for the whole of european manufacturing. The company sells appliances ranging from dishwashers to coffee machines, most commanding a price premium of up to 70 per cent over the competitors’ wares. It spends 12 per cent of its revenue on product development – far more than the industry norm. Miele’s attention to detail is legendary. Ovens are tested using machines that open and shut their doors 60,000 times to simulate the rigours they will withstand in their owners’ kitchens. In truth, most...

Essay On Hop Frog

...Characterization of Hop Frog "Hop Frog," a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, takes place in the castle of a corpulent king who is very fond of practical jokes. Hop Frog, a jester, and his friend Trippetta are kidnapped and forced to be slaves for the king. The tyrant king oppresses Hop Frog, who is a crippled dwarf. When the king strikes Hop Frog's friend Trippetta with a goblet of wine, Hop Frog vows revenge on the king and his ministers (Poe 17), revealing his heroism and bravery. Thus, vengeance is justifiable when the victim, who in this case is the king, oppresses others for their disabilities, as shown through Hop Frog’s characterization. In the story, the king and the seven ministers treat Hop Frog far worse than Trippetta, fueling Hop-Frog’s contempt. Although both are dwarves, Trippetta is seen by the king and his ministers as graceful and exquisite. They do not...

I’ve done a lot of business with Orleans Elevator in Bloomington over the years, but just wonder how long this will continue. I have much invested in my manufacturing plant located right next to their plant, but now that United Technologies [the parent company of Orleans] is all into this FreeMarkets Internet purchasing system, I just wonder how long they are going to be interested in keeping me in the supply chain loop. It’s been a good business over the past few years. I was in the right place at the right time when Orleans got into just-in-time and lean manufacturing in the late 1980s. Initially I was just making the control panels for the elevators. It was interesting to walk into a new building, get on the elevator, and see my company’s handiwork in that beautiful stainless steel panel that houses the buttons for the floors on the building. I could take a lot of pride in the craftsmanship even though it was largely a technology thing. That new numerically controlled machine tool that I purchased in 1985 made making the holes in those custom panels easy. We are still making beautiful panels. Since that time, my company has gotten a lot of other business from Orleans. We now make all kinds of special brackets...
