They are luxury products with a unique taste, and have won many international awards.ExpansionThe company has expanded rapidly over the past ten years. It now has almost 300 employees, 75 company-owned shops, and a turnover of €90 million. However, in the last two years, sales growth has slowed down and costs have risen. This has caused a fall in profits.Reasons for falling profitsPricesProductionDemandStaff moraleListen to a excerpt from a board meeting. Make notes under the four headings above. Valentino's main products (as a % of turnover)1.Valentino Classic Bars 25%2.Raw chocolate 8%3.Packaged chocolates 55%4.Exclusive handmade chocolates 5%5.Chocolate drinks 6%6.Biscuits and cakes 1%The futureValentino's owners have set aside €1.5 million to invest in their company so that it continues to expand and becomes an international business. Here is an excerpt from acompany profile that a business journal did recently:" Valentino can continue to grow, but only if it develops new products and finds new markets."So, the problem is: how should Valentino invest the €1.5 million? Chart 1 lists the ways in which it could do that.Chart 1 Investment optionsOption Cost Benefit1. Buy new machinery €200,000 End the delays caused by the old machinesbreaking down2. Invest in more research and development €200,000 Develop new products such as a low-fat chocolate drink, new biscuits / cakes3. Buy out a localcompetitor€1.5 million Reduce local competition4.

You have to:list the investment options you have chosenGive arguments for each option, as well as cost and anticipated benefit.Case 2 - CaferomaBackgroundCaferoma, a well-known brand of coffee, is owned by PEFD, a company based in Turin, Italy. It is promoted as an exclusive product for people who love ground coffee. Its image is of an Italian-style coffee. It has a strong and slightly bitter taste, and costs more than almost every other ground coffee product on the market.ProblemsIn the last two years, Caferoma's share of the quality ground coffee market has declined by almost 30%. There are several reasons for this:A) Brand loyalty: Consumers have become less loyal to brands and more price conscious. They are willing to buy lower-priced coffee products.B) Price: Supermarkets are selling, under their own label, similar products to Caferoma at much lower prices.C) "Copycat" products: Competing products of Italian-style ground coffee are selling at prices 30 to 40% lower than Caferoma.D) Brand image: the Caferoma brand no longer seems to be exciting and up-to-date.Market share European quality ground coffee Top fiveEuropean coffeebrandsOther brands Supermarket ownlabel brandsCaferomaTop fiveEuropean coffeebrandsOther brands Supermarket ownlabel brandsCaferomaSales outlets as a (%) percentage of Caferoma sales 0102030405060H o t e l sR e s t a u r a n t s S u p e r m a r k e t s S p e c i a l i s t s h o p s 2 years ago last year2 years agoLast yearFocus group resultsDo you think Caferoma is ... % of people answering "yes" Expensive? 60Value for money? 43Good quality? 70Old-fashioned? 80Exciting? 23Exclusive? 55Possible solutions1.Repositioning the productChange Caferoma's image to appeal to a different market segment. (Which segment? What changes to taste, quality, packaging, logo, labeling, distribution?)2.PricingReduce the price by, say, 20% to 30% so that it is in the medium range of prices.3.AdvertisingDevelop a new advertising campaign to relaunch the brand.4.Multiple brandsSell Caferoma, which small changes to product, under different brand names at lower prices.5.Own brand label productsAllow supermarkets and hypermarkets to sell Caferoma under the supermarkets' own brand labels. Continue to market the Caferoma brand at the same time.6.A new productBring out an instant coffee or decaffeinated product under the Caferoma brand as soon as possible.7.Stretching the brandAllow some makers of coffee equipment ( cafetieres, percolators, coffee machines, etc.) to use the Caferoma brand on their goods, for a licensing fee.Listen to the latest newsClaudia, Caferoma's Marketing Manager, has some recent news from one of Caferoma's biggest customers, Majestic Hotels, a major European hotel chain. She discusses the news with Caferoma's Sales Director, Pietro. Listen to their conversation. How does this new information affect your decisions?TaskYou are a member of PEFD's marketing team. Please write a report to Caferoma's Managing Director, Mario Cumino. You may analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each solution. Then decide what to do to stop the decline in the product's market share and to increase profits.。

(P26)Dear Ms GoddardWith reference to your letter of November 3, I am writing to thank you for your kind invitation.I would be very pleased to accept your invitation to visit oxford and see Trackplus’production facilities. I would also be interested in meeting your colleagues at head office, the design team in particular. I should also be delighted to accept your offer of arranging for me to see a play in the West End.Unfortunately, due to a business trip abroad, I am unable to come to England at the end of November as you suggested. However, as I feel it is important that we meet before Christmas I would be grateful if you could tell me if the second week of December would be suitable for you?I look forward to hearing from you again.Yours sincerelyPaolo Fellini(P32)Dear KorinnaRe: Order for Faci (314739) and Cristi (315227) skirtsThank you for your fax concerning the above skirts.I discussed the problems regarding the two skirts with Mr Hubner during his trip to Italy.The shirt made by Faci has a slit at the bottom, which might make it difficult for the customer wanted to change the length of the skirt. We therefore agree that the vendor would have to supply the skirt in two different lengths.Mr Hubner thought it might be better to leave the two different lengths of the Cristi skirt. The skirt has a special knitting technique; as a result, it might be difficult if the customer wanted to shorten it.When Mr Hubner left Italy, I thought we had sorted the problems out. I was therefore surprised by your fax cancelling the other sizes.Please let me know if you definitely want to cancel the other length skirts. As for reducing the total quality, I will wait for confirmation of the information about lengths before I contact the vendors.Thanks and best regards.(P34)Dear AntonellaThank you for your fax. In answer to your queries, I can confirm that the measurements charts do not need changing and all knitted skits will now be produced in a standard length. We would like to propose a delivery date of 30 June. Does that suit you?Best regardsKorinna(P37)Hi SteveIt’s good to know that business is going well, of course I’ll help! I think Sue’s idea could be one solution but wait and let’s discuss it together in more detail. How about a meeting on Friday at 10 a.m. in my office? See you then.Barbara(P50)Dear Mr DowneI am pleased to be able to invite you to the lunch of English Tomorrow, the exciting new multi-level CD-ROM program fro business English learners. English Tomorrow is published by Talk International in cooperation with Bookers Publishers.The official lunch will take place at 3pm on 25th July at The Royal Bell Hotel, South Harford, Somerset.During the afternoon there will be an opportunity for you to try out the material. Moreover, the designers-Mark Brightman and Sally Waters, and representatives of Brookers Publishers will be present to answer any questions you may have.I do hope your schedule will allow you to accept our invitation. I would be grateful if you could confirm your attendance by 20 June at the latest and look forward to hearing from you.Yours sincerelyRuth WilliamsPR Manager(P58)A comparison of ERS and Worldwide RelocationBoth companies can organise visas and work permits. In addition to these basic services, ERS also offers removal and shipping assistance whereas Worldwide Relocation offers an integration programme and partner employment assistance. The latter is a key requirement for Fenway.Both companies can organise visas and work permits. In addition to these basic services, ERS also offers removal and shipping assistance whereas Worldwide Relocation offers an integration programme and partner employment assistance. The latter is a key requirement for Fenway. ConclusionIt was concluded that both companies go some way to fulfilling Fenway’s needs, but neither meets all its needs.RecommendationWe would recommend that Worldwide Relocations be chosen to facilitate the relocation process as its services match Fenway’s requirements more closely than ERS’ do.(P86)Ramsden Breweries and Bute Chemicals: Investment PotentialIntroductionThis report aims to assess which company, either Ramsden Breweries or Bute Chemicals, this company should invest in.RamsdenThe company had mixed results last year: although turnover increased by approximately 25%, net profit rose by less than 4%. However, restructuring may be able to eliminate these inefficiencies and expected growth in the drinks industry suggests opportunities for increased profits.ButeResults were disappointing, with turnover and profit both failing slightly. Nevertheless, the company managed to increase its dividend to shareholders. The rumoured merger seems likely to push up the share price considerably.ConclusionDespite the merger rumours, any investment in Bute chemicals would involve a risk. Ramsden, on the other hand, despite its present inefficiency, is not profitable and has definite potential for further growth.RecommendationWe would recommend investment in Ramsden Breweries.Unit 6b Writing(P90)IntroductionThis report set out to compare our environmental performance over the last four years with the targets which we have set out for next year.Waste reductionThere was an increase in non-hazardous waste three years ago. This was due to by-products resulting from the new processing system. Although the amount has fallen steadily since then it seems unlikely that next year’s target level will be achieved.In contrast, the introduction of the new waste processing system enabled us to reduce hazardous waste to target levels three years ago.Energy efficiencyEnergy consumption has decreased steadily and it seems likely that target levels will be reached by next year.ConclusionIn conclusion, the measures taken have led to significant environmental improvements, it is expected that most targets will be achieved or exceeded by next year.(P101)MemoTo: All staffFrom: Charles DyerDate: 7 July 2000Re: Smoking policyAs there are only two smokers in this building, they have agreed to smoke outside. However, they will need regular cigarette breaks. Please consider smokers when organising meetings. You are advised to plan breaks at least every two hours.Unit 8a Writing(P110)A memo to staffTo: All staffFrom: Roger HargreavesRe: ExpensesMay I remind all staff that you need to include receipts with all expenses claims. Claims will not be accepted without receipts. Expenses are now all paid by cheque rather than in cash and it will take approximately two weeks to process each claim.Thank you.Unit 9b Writing(P126)To: All managersSubject: Staff AppraisalI would to remind you that you should be holding your staff appraisals this month. Once you have completed them could you please send me a copy of each report? If you would like to use an interview room please remember to reserve it in advance. Thank you.。
