The increasing population of sophisticated consumers is demanding for more quality, variety and service but for less money and time. This emerging pattern of consumers demanding more for less - is an issue facing the increasingly competitive grocery industry today. The increasing number and importance of large multi-national retailers in Asia during the last 5 years is further challenging the grocery business. Certainly, the ambience of the front store of a Tops or a Carrefour is as appealing as in shops anywhere. But peer into the back room, go round the yard, follow the delivery trucks and we are back …

Many governments have turned to private investors, especially Independent Power Producers (IPPs), to provide some or all of the nation's power requirements. The main reasons for this are: a) to eliminate the financial burden of the government, b) to promote competition in the generation sector to improve operating efficiency and reduce generating cost, and c) to transfer power generation technology, especially in the developing nations, at a rapid pace. In line with world trends, the Malaysian government, in 1993, deregulated its power generation sector. This was done in order to overcome the shortage of installed capacity due to an increase …

The term 'Industrial society' has been a proper one to explain the wide and deep influence of the industrialization to the society and the wealth of the country in 20th century.

Over dependence on the domestic market and weak brand image are the weaknesses of the two Malaysian car companies. Trade liberalisation under the auspices of WTO, APEC and AFTA presents both opportunities as well as threats. They can no longer depend on Government support for their survival and growth. The two companies also need to lower their dependence on foreign partners by speeding up their localisation programme. This is essential to reduce cost and be competitive when trade barriers fall. Merger or strategic alliance between the two companies may be one of the ways to remain competitive in the future. …
