...are procured, handled, and processed fall within a set of activities known as logistics. Logistics is a process of systematising information to facilitate the efficient and cost-effective flows of goods and services to produce customer satisfaction. Each member in the supply chain must be involved in logistics activities. Logistics flows may begin with the supplier/manufacturer relationship, but efficient logistics activities are needed throughout the marketing channel. Relationship marketing epitomises the interac-tive process necessary to achieve customer satisfaction by maintaining a participative exchange of information with all of a firm’s channel partners. In addition, develop-ments in electronic retailing are now aimed at making this whole process more effective and efficient. The Council of Logistics Management defines logistics management as: ‘The process of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient, cost-effective flow and storage of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods, and related information from point-of-origin to point-of-consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.’ This definition reinforces three universal themes in logistics management. These bear repeating: * Information drives the flow of goods and services. * Control over marketing channels can be achieved (from a distance) on the basis of efficiency and cost containment in resource flows. * In marketing channels, resources are...

...Opportunities Approved By: David Williams Prepared By: Priya Jashnani Report Highlights: The first foreign quick service and casual dining restaurant brands entered the Indian market nearly 20 years ago. At the time, Indians rarely ate out and many wondered how the restaurants would overcome supply chain challenges and opposition to foreign investment. There are now an estimated 43 foreign restaurant brands operating 1,900 outlets across India. The number of home-grown chains is also rising as Indian firms adopt franchising or chain models to meet growing consumer demand for the dining-out experience. The rising number of restaurants does not present a significant opportunity for imported food products given relatively high tariffs and import restrictions on key products, but restaurants are introducing new cuisines and changing consumer tastes and preferences, a trend that could result in long-term opportunities for exporters. This report provides an estimated census of foreign and domestic casual and quick service restaurant brands operating in India. Things Have Changed Over the Past 20 Years It has been nearly 20 years since the first foreign quick service and casual dining restaurant chains and franchises opened in India. The initial opening was met with a mixture of anti-globalization opposition and consumer curiosity regarding how the restaurants would adapt their menus and operations to the Indian market where many consumers are vegetarians or do not eat beef. At the time...
