Introductions

Probable Pricing Strategies
1. Price Volume Model Page Page 421 of textbook - Makro, Jumbo, Builders Trade Depot?

Builders Express, Builders Superstore
3. Market Share Model - Cambridge Food, Rhino
Supply Base Risks - Page 350, Exhibit 9.11
1. Political - Walmart’s offshore expansion has not inspired more American interest in investing in
South Africa, because of the local government’s stringent foreign investment laws.
2. Market - Makro and pick n Pay have become very competitive considering the loyalty cards, eg,
discounts are given on products if volumes are increased
Sourcing - there are also issues with language, communication, and time differences. There are many
African languages spoken throughout Africa
4. Financial - When shipping pipelines are lengthened,
inventory carrying costs become greater, for example, inventory investment, storage
and warehousing costs, material handling, loss and damage, taxes, obsolescence, and lost
opportunity costs. This is being experienced globally due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Currency
fluctuations is also a concern
Supplier Company - Here, the buyer
should be concerned with the supplier’s current financial stability and future liability. Covid-19 has
caused increased instability in many countries
