Hi, Ace, Your next assignment:
Sam Barrume has just returned from a European vacation where he enjoyed the various sights, food and drink. Based on his experience he wants to create a new line of beverages, Specialty European Beverages, including wine, beer, and spirits from all the European countries. Right now, MBBD has a very small selection of beverages from Europe which he gets from his regular distributor. Sam is interested in making this a major part of his line-up at MBBD – he is thinking about one-third of his overall sales as he grows this specialty line over the next several years.
Sam has written a memo/email asking Elephant to do a preliminary analysis of the issues and challenges of procuring these products from Europe and writing a report on this international procurement effort. Read the memo, do the research and analysis and write a report to Sam. ASSIGNMENT-7-MEMOfromSamB.docxPreview the document
