A few firms have shown that not all online fashion shops are Internet disasters. Copenhagen-based haburi, com, the online designer-label discount store, Sweden's sportswear vendor Sportus and the Italian shirts store Marco Bracci are doing well in a very tough environment.
Haburi's distinctive business model is an Internet version of the factory outlet where brand manufacturers sell directly to consumers at lower prices from huge out-of-town shopping malls. A concept used in the U. S. far more than in Europe, and Haburi wants to fill the gap. Michael Vad, Haburi's CEO, says that Europe's apparel factory outlet sector could yield $10 billion in sales annually.
According to Vad, national regulations that limit malls outside city centers have hampered the development of this sector. "For the consumer, there is the two-hour drive to the mall, and when you get there, you don't know whether you will get the size or color you want," says Vad. By going online, Haburi aims to cut the retailer's costs, save consumers the long drive, and deliver orders within two or five days. Haburi splits net revenue 50-50 with the brand manufacturers.
Apparel is difficult to sell online because people like to feel and touch the clothes they buy. For the online retailer, acquiring the items, inspecting them, cleaning and storing them can be expensive. "The cost of customer service in the apparel business is much higher than selling books or even furniture," says Matthew Nordan, a retail analyst at Forester Research's Amsterdam office.
Unless linked to a major established operation, an online retailer needs a competitive edge. For example, Italian shirt-maker Marco Bracci sells expensive goods for high profits and has cornered a niche market. Dressmart, on the other hand, tried to do too much too soon. Originally it planned to sell only shirts and to make the original Swedish operation profitable before branching out. But within months it tried to go pan-European and sell everything including ties, shoes and sportswear, and to rent physical outlet at airports. Dressmart, on the verge of bankruptcy and searching for a backer, has now scaled back and operates only in Sweden.
The European online fashion business ______ .
A.has gone through the most difficult times
B.was in a big boom some time ago
C.lost support of all its stockholders
D.made much money from urban sportswear last year
At the end of October, the managing director decided to hold a meeting and offer staff the choice of either accepting a 5% pay cut or facing a certain number of redundancies. All staff subsequently agreed to accept the 5% pay cut with immediate effect.
At the same time, the retailer requested that the truffles be made slightly softer. This change was implemented immediately and made the chocolates more difficult to shape. When recipe changes such as these are made, it takes time before the workers become used to working with the new ingredient mix, making the process 20% slower for at least the first month of the new operation.
The standard costing system is only updated once a year in June and no changes are ever made to the system outside of this.
Required:
(a) Calculate the total labour rate and total labour efficiency variances for November, based on the standard cost provided above. (4 marks)
(b) Analyse the total labour rate and total labour efficiency variances into component parts for planning and operational variances in as much detail as the information allows. (8 marks)
(c) Assess the performance of the production manager for the month of November. (8 marks)

The wholesaler buys goods in large quantities from the manufacturers and sells them in smaller parcels to retailers, and for this service his selling price to the retailer is raised several percent higher. But his job is made more difficult by retail demand not necessarily running level with manufacturers' production. Because he adjusts or regulates the flow of goods by holding stock until required, he frees the manufacturer, to some extent, from the effect on production of changing demand and having to bear the whole risk.
The manufacturer can then keep up a steady production flow, and the retailer has no need to hold heavy stocks, who can call on the wholesaler for supplies any time. This wholesale function is like that of a valve in a water pipe. The middleman also bears part of the risk that would otherwise fall on the manufacturer and also the retailer.
The wholesaler provides a purely commercial service, for which he is too well rewarded. But the point that is missed by many people is that the wholesaler is not just someone adding to the cost of goods. It is true one could eliminate the wholesaler but one would still be left with his function: that of making sure that goods find their way to the people who want them.
"Middleman" in the passage almost equals to all the following in meaning EXCEPT ______.
A.go-between
B.intermediary
C.manufacturer
D.wholesaler
