do not appear to have applied much new tech-nology to improve their service. What impediments slow technological progress in the water carrier industry?

Answer:

Water freight is a very important method of transportation and is the second cheapest (railroad is the cheapest). Huge volumes can be shipped at relatively low prices which is extremely important for raw materials and commodities.

The problem with water freight is that it is relatively slow though. Another problem that water freight faces is that it is cheap for medium and long distances, but uneconomical for short ones.

A great impediment for the technological progress of water freight is that most ports are obsolete and have not been updated in many years. Updating them is very expensive and many of them are public ports which doesn't help either.

Most new carrier ships (which are very high tech) are probably too big to fit into most US ports, so even if a carrier company invests huge amounts of money in them, where will they them? Technological progress must start with the ports, then water carriers should improve.

Another problem is that regulation is very loose in the US, especially regarding maritime ports.

Answer:

This is the full question:

Before Caffè Gustoso's owners can develop a marketing plan for the new store, they need to decide how to expand.

To keep the market expansion manageable, they have decided to limit the potential locations to the Chicago suburbs. However, they don't know which suburb to target.

The profile of Caffè Gustoso's current downtown customer is as follows:

Total population: 39,404

Average household income: $121,000

Average household expenditures: $81,000

Age range of customers: 53% In their 20s and 30s

Type of employment: 73.3%White collar employment:

Education level: 79.1% Bachelor's degree or higher:

Family status:  Married: 49.3% Households without children: 78%

The owners have collected data on three potential markets presented in the market analysis report shown here and want your feedback.

Which of the Chicago suburbs is the best target for Caffè Gustoso's planned market development?  Deerfield, Aurora or Naperville.

And the correct answer is:

Naperville, IL

Explanation:

The following information for the 3 suburbs is taken form US Census

                        Average

                        Household                                            

                        Income         Median Age  %Married  %W/O Kids Race

Naperville       $105,585       35                   70%          55%             76% White

Aurora               $63,967       32                   54%          53%             56% White

Deerfield        $107,194         40                   73%           56%             95% White

The suburb that fits the average customer is Deerfield, for the following reasons:

  • The average household income of the Caffe Gustoso's customer is $121,000, and the average household income in Naperville is $105,585, a bit less, but not by a lot.
  • 49% of the customers are married, in Naperville, 70% of people are married. The difference is significant, but in Deerfield more people are married (73%), and in Aurora, the percentage of married people is close (54%), but the average income is not ($63,967 vs $121,000).
  • The average customer is in his 20s and 30s, and the median age in Naperville is 35, still in the 30s.
  • 78% of customers do not have children, and in Naperville 55% of people have children, however, the figures are practically the same for the three suburbs so this is inconsequential.
  • 73.3% of customers are white, and 76% of people in Naperville are white, an almost 1:1 correspondence.

What is the difference between a direct distribution channel and an indirect
AveGali [126]

The use of intermediaries is the primary difference between the two.

Explanation:

Direct distribution channel is one in which the consumer is directly connected to the manufacturer and there is no use of a distribution system that is separate from them and there are no intermediaries.

The contact between the two is direct.

To the contrary in an indirect  distribution channel there is no direct connection between the manufacturer and the person who is actually buying the product and the business is being mediated by the middlemen.

Which leadership skill do you feel is most important for a small business to succeed for a
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
In my opinion, reliability and consistency are two of the most important leadership skills for a small business to succeed for a long time. With these two characteristics a small business can build a returning customer base as well as a good rating on review websites. For example, many local barbershops provide consistent quality haircuts which builds reliability and in turn demand and returning customers.
