Category management is a crucial aspect of procurement as it goes beyond simply acquiring goods and services. Through the development of categories, the organization can better understand its spending patterns and identify critical areas where savings are possible. Selling at the right price is one of the secrets to a flourishing business. If your goods are cheap, you might sell more but find it difficult to make a profit. On the other hand, if your goods are too expensive, customers will shop at competitor retailers, causing you to lose market share. Category management helps retailers cope with the complexity of their operations and maximize their return on inventory investment. Improvements in product range and merchandising enhance shopper satisfaction and store loyalty and reduce stockouts. These factors help to lift sales. Pricing is one of the most important factors in the field of Trade. Pricing to a commodity means attaching value to the product. To purchase or sell it both the consumer taking the product and the seller giving off the product benefits from the 'value' in return for some bearing.

Long-Term ObjectivesStrategic managers recognize that short-run profit maximization is rarely the best approach to achieving sustained corporate growth and profitability.Strategic decision makers confronts:
Should they eat the seeds to improve the near-term profit picture and make large dividend payments through cost-saving measures such as laying off workers during periods of slack demand, selling off inventories, or cutting back on research and development?
Or should they sow the seeds in the effort to reap long-term rewards by reinvesting profits in growth opportunities, committing resources to employee training, or increasing advertising expenditures?
Long-Term ObjectivesTo achieve long-term prosperity, strategic planners commonly establish long-term objectives in seven areas: Profitability Competitive PositionEmployee RelationsTechnological Leadership Productivity – In-OutEmployee DevelopmentPublic Responsibility
Qualities of Long-Term ObjectivesWhat distinguishes a good objective from a bad one? What qualities of an objective improve its chances of being attained?There are five criteria that should be used in preparing long-term objectives:
Flexible
Measurable
Motivating
Suitable
Understandable
The Balanced ScorecardThe balanced scorecard is a set of measures that are directly linked to the company’s strategy
Developed by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton, it directs a company to link its own long-term strategy with tangible goals and actions.
The scorecard allows managers to evaluate the company from four perspectives:
financial performance
customer knowledge
internal business processes
learning and growth

This document reviews best practice in pricing processes to provide a reference against which current practices and proposals can be tested. Our objectives have been: to research the attributes of world-class pricing through publications and academic sources; to investigate how these attributes are applied in practice to products and services; to assess pricing processes in successful businesses.
In recent years a new attitude toward pricing has emerged. Deregulation and international free trade agreements have increased competition. Price promotion has eroded the power of brand loyalty. Pricing has assumed greater importance to most businesses.
As markets increasingly assume a global dimension, customers can more easily compare prices between one region or country and another, using the internet or a fax machine. They can often locate the same product, or an
acceptable substitute, from another source. Customers are more demanding and fickle, and their expectations increasingly difficult to fulfil.
Price inflation in western economies is now at its lowest for decades. Price increases are no longer accepted without protest from customers, if at all.
The Chairman of General Electric has predicted the onset of the ‘Value Decade’. Global price competition will strengthen because of: reduced product differentiation; global over-capacity for production; significantly diminished trade barriers; efficient information and distribution systems; providing customers with easy access to the prices of suppliers; a growing lack of customers’ loyalty to individual suppliers. Choice will be increasingly driven by price.
This is a challenging scenario that reinforces the need for an integrated strategy and concerted managerial action on pricing.
Pricing processes have lagged behind developments in the market place. They are often characterised by internal conflict between accountants wishing to maximise profit per unit and marketing specialists who seek to maximise
throughput. They are also affected by the potential for strained relations with good customers.
Some companies have downsized their operations to a level where diminishing returns cause them to question the benefits of continuing to focus upon reducing costs. As they switch their attention from cost cutting to adding
value, pricing naturally assumes increased weight in the marketing mix.
We have found many companies reluctant to discuss their own processes.
Some may wish to avoid betraying a lack of sophistication.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
