As we read from the passage <First Nation chiefs to stage Site C showdown>, B.C. First Nation chiefs will be here next week to urge the Harper government to reject BC Hydro’s $8-billion Site C hydroelectric megaproject.

This project is going to establish a dam and a generating station which are projected to be great profitable. However, the man in the picture, the Grand Chief Stewart Philip, showed his objective attitude without hesitation. Why was it?

It is so obvious that a newly founding construction can provide the area countless commercial opportunities and better trade with outside world. Meanwhile, those first nations origins can obtain a chance to learn the world better through communicating and cooperating if they choose to be the partners.

Nevertheless, the real elites among those first nations rejected the “kindness” and benefit from those companies who want to build items in their territory. The reasons is just one sentence: “Our people say that we were put here to look after this part of the earth. “

We take this seriously. Sometimes, the sum of money is not that heavy for a nation to abalienate its territory and change its living habits. Sometimes, the tradition of the nation is much heavier. Sometimes, we have to protect and leave a same land and river and forest to our grandsons and granddaughters.

Do not put too much emphasis on benefits, we have more precious treasures of our own.

A passage for the Wall Street Journal said that Amazon had sold more E-books than hardware books for the first time over the past three months.

When is comes to Amazon in Business, it is always a successful example of direct selling strategy. Through providing a stage for consumers and suppliers, A subject is obvious to charge more if it has to pass through the hands of more people, so that Amazon cut off all dealers in the business process except itself.  The remarkable price difference between Amazon and hommizational delivery service accelerate Amazon’s development every year.

Benefit from the direct selling had been a long-lasting advantage of Amazon for ages. However, no benefit is ever-lasting. Amazon’s benefit has touched the cake of all dealers and intermediary sellers in the chains. Meanwhile, the launching of other E-business such as the Alibaba will drive the market more competitive as they can provide the same service and product in a even lower price.

Nevertheless, Amazon is still occupying the dominant market ratio in north America. How will it face with the new challenges from it old and new rivals? Amazon, I will always keep my eyes on you.

A passage from Microscope said that Lenovo is going to invent a new bid tool to to improve its efficiency of payback to its distributors’ and partners’ cash flow.

As we learnt in class 6, the significance of cash flow can always be put in the first three places  in a supply chain. The crack of the cash flow of several small cooperations can leads to the failure of the entire industry. That even was the origin cause of financial crisis in 2008.

Generally speaking, you are never too efficient to do your business whereas you will never overemphasis the importance of the inventory and innovation. On this point, Lenovo spares no effort to drive greater visibility of a product’s journey in the supply chain to give partners more predictability, This provide confidence and clearness to all its partners and made the relation between them more stable. 

A company with better visibility and more rapid paying back is always more credible. It will be hard for its stake to fluctuate dramatically and unpredictably. Most investors prefer such company with a long-term feast and stability.Maybe Lenovo is not the one who does best, it has always been struggling for.

An article I read said that Coca-cola received a remarkable sale success in the US over the past ten years time. The strategy of  print people’s name and advocated as “share a drink” seems so customer-central and effective in such a we media world. How can I remark? It is one of the smartest marketing strategy in the 21st century.

Apparently, it is a significant handicap to overwhelmingly defeat its rivals in the taste campaign for Coca-cola and any other soft-drink producers. Nevertheless, how to make our brand outstanding among thousands? Coke’s answer is to make its customers and its latent customers happier and make its rivals’ customers jealous. A specified container design simply dragged coke to a higher level to its competitors.  What’s our feel when we grab a soft drink with our name on it?

Meanwhile, Coke has to think about how to turn their previous market occupation into a long-lasting predominance. Since a bottle design is not something that inimitable, Coca-cola has to be even more brilliant to achieve its true prosperous.
