1. ShopSmart’s International Growth Strategy

ShopSmart, founded by in 1919 by Nick Smart, is a British multinational grocery and merchandise retailer. It is the largest grocery retailer in the United Kingdom, with a 28% share of the local market and the second largest after Walmart measured in revenue. In 2017, ShopSmart had sales of more than £62 billion ($70 billion US dollars), more than 480,000 employees and 6,553 stores in 13 countries.

In its home market of the United Kingdom, the company’s strengths are reputed to come from strong competencies in marketing and store site selection, logistics and inventory management and its own label product offerings. By the early 1990s, these competencies had already given the company a leading position in the United Kingdom. ShopSmart was generating strong cash flows and senior managers had to decide how to use that cash. One strategy they settled n was international expansion.

As managers looked at international markets, they soon concluded that the best opportunities were not in established markets in North America and Western Europe where strong competitors already existed but in emerging markets of Eastern Europe and Asia, where there were strong underlying growth trends. ShopSmart’s first international foray was into Hungary in 1995 where it acquired Globals Stores, a state-owned grocery chain. By 2017, ShopSmart was the market leader in Hungary accounting for 1% of the whole economy of Hungary.

Next, ShopSmart acquired 31 stores in Poland from Stavia Limited. The following year, in 1996, ShopSmart added 13 stores that it purchased from Kmart in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The next year, ShopSmart moved to purchase stores in the Republic of Ireland.

ShopSmart’s Asian expansion begun in 1998 when it moved into Thailand. In 1999, the company entered South Korea when it partnered with Samsung to develop a chain of hypermarkets. This was followed by entry into Taiwan in 2000, Malaysia in 2002, Japan in 2003 and China in 2004.

The move into China came after three years of careful research and discussions with potential partners. Like many other western companies, ShopSmart was attracted to the Chinese market by its large size and rapid growth. In the end, ShopSmart settled on a 50-50 joint venture with Hymall, a hypermarket chain that is controlled by Ting Hsin, which has been operating in China for six years. In 2014, ShopSmaart combined its 131 stores in China in a joint venture with the state-run China Resources Enterprise and its nearly 3,000 stores. ShopSmart owned 20% of the joint venture. As a result of these moves, by 2017, ShopSmart generated sales of about $21 billion outside the United Kingdom. The addition of international stores has helped make ShopSmart the second largest company in the global grocery market behind only Walmart. By 2017, all its foreign ventures were making money.

1. Examine two reasons why ShopSmart’s initial international expansion focused on emerging markets rather than competing with established companies in the more advanced markets of North America and Western Europe.

2. Discuss two disadvantages that ShopSmart encountered as a first mover into these emerging markets.

3. ShopSmart’s entry strategy into the Eastern European countries was through acquisition. Discuss three disadvantages that the company is likely to encounter as a result of this entry strategy

4. Identify ShopSmart’s strategic entry into the Asian market and discuss two benefits that the company sought to achieve with this strategy

Assignment Details

In Unit 2, you have learned about three different types of distributions: Normal, binomial, and Poisson. You can take data that you collect and plot it out onto graphs to see a visual representation of the data. By simply looking at data on a graph, you can tell a lot about how related your observed data are and if they fit into a normal distribution.

For this submission, you will be given a series of scenarios and small collections of data. You should plot the data or calculate probabilities using excel. Then, you will create your own real or hypothetical scenario to graph and explain.

Answer the following:

• The mean temperature for the month of July in Boston, Massachusetts is 73 degrees Fahrenheit. Plot the following data, which represent the observed mean temperature in Boston over the last 20 years:

  1998	72
  1999	69
  2000	78
  2001	70
  2002	67
  2003	74
  2004	73
  2005	65
  2006	77
  2007	71
  2008	75
  2009	68
  2010	72
  2011	77
  2012	65
  2013	79
  2014	77
  2015	78
  2016	72
  2017	74

  1. Is this a normal distribution? Explain your reasoning.
  2. What is an outlier? Are there any outliers in this distribution? Explain your reasoning fully.
  3. Using the above data, what is the probability that the mean will be over 76 in any given July?
  4. Using the above data, what is the probability that the mean will be over 80 in any given July?
     
• A heatwave is defined as 3 or more days in a row with a high temperature over 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Given the following high temperatures recorded over a period of 20 days, what is the probability that there will be a heatwave in the next 10 days?

  Day 1	93
  Day 2	88
  Day 3	91
  Day 4	86
  Day 5	92
  Day 6	91
  Day 7	90
  Day 8	88
  Day 9	85
  Day 10	91
  Day 11	84
  Day 12	86
  Day 13	85
  Day 14	90
  Day 15	92
  Day 16	89
  Day 17	88
  Day 18	90
  Day 19	88
  Day 20	90

Customer surveys reveal that 40% of customers purchase products online versus in the physical store location. Suppose that this business makes 12 sales in a given day

1. Does this situation fit the parameters for a binomial distribution? Explain why or why not?
2. Find the probability of the 12 sales on a given day exactly 4 are made online
3. Find the probability of the 12 sales fewer than 6 are made online
4. Find the probability of the 12 sales more than 8 are made online

Your own example:

• Choose a company that you have recently seen in the news because it is having some sort of problem or scandal, and complete the following:
  • Discuss the situation, and describe how the company could use distributions and probability statistics to learn more about how the scandal could affect its business.
  • If you were a business analyst for the company, what research would you want to do, and what kind of data would you want to collect to create a distribution?
  • Would this be a standard, binomial, or Poisson distribution? Why?
  • List and discuss at least 3 questions that you would want to create probabilities for (e.g., What is the chance that the company loses 10% of its customers in the next year?).
  • What would you hope to learn from calculating the
