5 The directors of Blaina Packaging Co (BPC), a well-established manufacturer of cardboard boxes, are currently
considering whether to enter the cardboard tube market. Cardboard tubes are purchased by customers whose
products are wound around tubes of various sizes ranging from large tubes on which carpets are wound, to small
tubes around which films and paper products are wound. The cardboard tubes are usually purchased in very large
quantities by customers. On average, the cardboard tubes comprise between 1% and 2% of the total cost of the
customers’ finished product.
The directors have gathered the following information:
(1) The cardboard tubes are manufactured on machines which vary in size and speed. The lowest cost machine is
priced at $30,000 and requires only one operative for its operation. A one-day training course is required in order
that an unskilled person can then operate such a machine in an efficient and effective manner.
(2) The cardboard tubes are made from specially formulated paper which, at times during recent years, has been in
short supply.
(3) At present, four major manufacturers of cardboard tubes have an aggregate market share of 80%. The current
market leader has a 26% market share. The market shares of the other three major manufacturers, one of which
is JOL Co, are equal in size. The product ranges offered by the four major manufacturers are similar in terms of
size and quality. The market has grown by 2% per annum during recent years.
(4) A recent report on the activities of a foreign-based multinational company revealed that consideration was being
given to expanding operations in their packaging division overseas. The division possesses large-scale automated
machinery for the manufacture of cardboard tubes of any size.
(5) Another company, Plastic Tubes Co (PTC) produces a narrow, but increasing, range of plastic tubes which are
capable of housing small products such as film and paper-based products. At present, these tubes are on average
30% more expensive than the equivalent sized cardboard tubes sold in the marketplace.
Required:
(a) Using Porter’s five forces model, assess the attractiveness of the option to enter the market for cardboard
tubes as a performance improvement strategy for BPC. (10 marks)

For several years,Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. Now,teleshopping is starting in Europe.ln a number of European countries,people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes,jewelry,food,toys and many others things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden. For example,the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries,and in one year it made $ 100 million.In France,there are two teleshopping channels,and the French spend $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany,until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour ev-ery day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusi-ness,including teleshopping companies. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities,this is an important reason.But at the same time,other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping "just on the air. "Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them,and they believe they can't be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers can-t touch or see in person.
( )26.In which country people can go teleshopping?
A. America and all the European countries.
B. Australia and some European countries.
C. The USA and many European countries.
D. America and many developed countries.
