Mr. Richards manages a successful supermarket in the downtown area of a big city. He is in charge of 90 employees, he has many duties and responsibilities, and no working day is exactly the same as any other. Here are some of the things he does during a typical day at the store.

A number of factors have been responsible,but basically it is the result of too many companies chasing the microcomputer market which is no longer expanding as fast as it once was. Looking at the past year in detail,it must be admitted that the sales have declined considerably over the period.Our market share in wholesale has dropped from 21%to only 10%.The lack of a good local distributor in Asia has meant that our sales of the Obec series have collapsed despite the huge jump in the microcomputer market there during the past year.Our dominance of that part of the market has been lost to Strong,but once we find a new distributor we should come back strongly. Retail sales in general have been a problem.There has been a tendency for the big high street stores to concentrate on high volume turnover of a few fairly well-known makes. When they stopped promotion of the Obec 1500,sales slumped by 50%.We are negotiating a fresh marketing deal for the new Obec 1600.Once this is settled we expect a gradual rise in sales,which will be followed by a big TV advertising campaign at the appropriate time. What we are facing now is that we have not been able to push the Obec 1600 as much as we would have liked because of insufficient advertising. Most of our advertising budget went on the promotion of the Obec Extra before last Christmas.Unfortunately we have failed consistently to find the proper marketing strategy for the Extra,which has not been sold to either the leisure or the business market.This market has been captured by Sun,who has a much broader range in this area. The serious business market has performed worse than any other in the period under review.The main factor was the introduction of the new Legend 586 Plus,when sales tailed 84
