篇一：品类杀手(Category Killer)-零售大战对消费文化的冲击

品类杀手(Category Killer)－零售大战对消费文化的冲击

一、 品类杀手(category killers)的定义

专门供应玩具、办公用品、或居家修缮等特定品类的零售商，但也都能提供低于市场行情的每日最低价，不但种类繁多，库存也十分充裕。传统的柑仔店、地区性小型连锁店或是超市等，在价格及种类都无法与之竞争。因此而被称作“品类杀手”。

二、 品类杀手的诞生

● 雷萨诺斯接手父亲的脚踏车店转卖幼儿家具，由于战后婴儿潮。 ● 婴幼儿家具不容易坏，加上许多顾客询问是否卖玩具，因此开始经营玩具事业。

● 雷萨诺斯的创业要归功于电视的普及，玩具市场转变为消费者导向的营运模式。

● 第一家玩具反斗城的卖场有超过一万八千种的玩具，且定价比一般的定价低，一切采自助式，卖场装饰简约。

● 之后又开了幼儿反斗城及婴儿反斗城。

● 雷萨诺斯彻底推翻了原本到处销售玩具的模式，引发其它品类产生类似效应，逐步瓦解百货公司的各商品部门。

三、 无所不在的品类杀手

? 玩具反斗城成为品类杀手的最佳样板。它的自助式服务、多样化选择、优惠的价格与足够多的停车位，成为大卖场的典型样貌。虽然其它品类杀手卖的商品不一样，但是操作手法却是大同小异。

? 图书销售

邦诺书店(Barnes & Noble)

书店不能像玩具反斗城一样空洞，所以必须为顾客提供舒适优雅的环境，如开放式的座位及休息室。同时举办小区活动、作者导读、签唱会及音乐活动，包括赞助暑假期儿童阅读活动。 博得图书(Borders Books)

刘易斯博得曾设计出一套独特精密的库存管理系统，精确地掌握下单到销售的正确库存量。

? 家用电器－主要贩售消费性的电子产品或家用电子商品

主要有两家业者在这市场领先

电路城(Circuit City)

Best Buy（卖场设计略胜电路城一筹）

? 星巴克咖啡

不走大卖场的经营模式，而以积极拓展的方式，让同一地区的咖啡店迅速达到饱和。

四、 为什么能够每日最低价

? 归功于品类杀手与折扣商店

? 零售定价

现有一套「价格最佳化」的复杂软件，这软件可以分析顾客的购买模式，确切指示何时该降低商品售价，并以每分钟做为价格调整周期，以及时因应竞争者的价格调整。

? 因特网的冲击

由Amazon与ebay带动的网络风潮让网络销售占整体零售业年营业额的5%，极大地冲击了零售定价。

网络下单、亲自到卖场取货越来越受消费者亲睐。消费者往往希望当日下单当日取货，不想支付额外的运费。

? 库存管控

要求供货商只能在必要时进货，库存资金的积压由供货商承担。电子数据交换系统让制造商得以管控生产过程、库存流量及整个供应链。零售商可以规划每家卖场的产品数量与时程。

? 自助服务

零售商压低售价、增加利润的一种方式。

「自行结帐柜台」可以节省人力成本，让平均交易成本降到原来的一半。

? 专属品牌--独家专卖－

许多品类杀手藉由自有品牌商品相竞争。当找不到最低价的品牌商品，便会与制造商合作开发出自有品牌商品。

玩具反斗城－策略联盟，设立玩具盒店中店。

Best Buy－专属品牌VPR Matrix桌上型计算机。

邦诺书店－跨足出版事业，买下史特林出版社。将旗下一系列经典名著重新改版。

? 品牌延伸－谈到既有品牌延伸到其它产品时，大概没有任何品类杀手可以像星巴克那么出色。

星巴克与醉尔思－星巴克冰淇淋。

与百事可乐－法布奇诺瓶装咖啡。

销售自制ＣＤ。

五、 寻求成长的契机

品类杀手与大型折扣商店正借助不同型态、不同规模、不同地点的卖场规划发展壮大，例如设独栋卖场、威力广场、市区设点，传统的原价商场等。

? 威力广场----各类品类杀手汇成超大综合商城。

人口不断迁徙，新房舍形成新小区之后，老旧商城便被废弃，因人口结构改变，新商城应运而生。

? 卖场小型化

大部分品类杀手在搜寻新卖场场地，会在闲置土地上盖更大的卖场或者在小镇市集或人口密集的都会型小区设立小型店面。 消费者越来越不喜欢到大型商店，小专卖店可以迅速找到想要的东西。

居家仓库在市中心设立小型都会店。如星巴克得来速窗口。

六、 积极扩张版图

许多年来，以美国为大本营的品类杀手纷纷前往全球市场寻求成长机会，面临许多挑战，诸如过高的土地取用成本，法令对折扣操作和每日营业时数的限制等等。

过去的经验移转失效－

? 某些品类可能会因为规格或文化上的差异，改头换面进而进军海

外。某些品类进军海外的过程比较顺利如食品（KFC）及玩具。想要远赴海外的品类杀手而言，每一要务是详细研究每个市场是否有利可图。其次是要花多少时间拓展海外市场，并密集分析当前的竞争优势。

扩张营业版图到国外的一些例子

? DIY－居家仓库不曾进军德国，德国业者Hornbach已立足德国市场，研究居家仓库的商业模式，设立了大型仓储卖场。 ?

B&Q特力屋是英国的市场领导者，现已在七个国家拥有卖场，他的营运模式是去符合欧洲顾客的需求，量身订做，将商品调整为小房子或公寓型商品。

? 居家仓库在加拿大有不错的发展。

? 星巴克

? 1996年在日本设立第一家海外咖啡厅，非常成功，于是开始了一连串的合资计划，将业务拓展到欧洲、亚太地区、中东、墨西哥等地。到了2004年已在海外三十三个国家拥有营业据点。

?

同其它美国的品类杀手一样，星巴克也面临模仿业者的挑战。日本罗多伦模仿禁烟的精进咖啡，及上海的咖啡店。

七、 反对的声音

许多地区不像过去一样欢迎开发商，纷纷联合起来反对开发商，指

篇二：Tips for a Killer Presentation

Tips for a Killer Presentation

To be a good presenter you need to be engaging with the audience and know your topic. Keep the presentation concise and include only relevant information. Use an electronic enhancement, such as PowerPoint, as an accompaniment to your presentation to reinforce your point, not as a crutch. Remember -- your slide show is not the presentation -- you are the presentation.

1. Know Your Material

Knowing your material thoroughly, will help you decide what information is essential to your presentation and what can be left out. It will help your presentation to flow naturally, allowing you to adjust to unexpected questions or events, and it will help you feel more comfortable when speaking in front of an audience.

2. Information: Less Is More

PowerPoint slides are not cue cards. Remember that the audience should listen to you, not read the screen. If you find yourself writing entire sentences as bullet points, stop. Resist the temptation to write excessively long points. Write just enough to remind yourself of what you should say. .

3. Minimize You:

Your slides should be directed to the audience. Frankly, your audience doesn't care as much about your company history, as they do about whether you can help them solve the specific problems they face. Write a script for your presentation that makes the audience the protagonist, or the main character, who faces a problem that you will help them to solve.

4. Limit Punctuation and Avoid All Capital Letters

Punctuation can needlessly clutter the slide and the use of all caps makes statements more difficult to read and is like SHOUTING at your audience.

5. Avoid Fancy Fonts

Choose a font that is simple and easy to read such as Arial, Times New Roman or Verdana. Avoid script type fonts as they are hard to read on screen. Use, at most, two different fonts – perhaps one for headings and another for content. Keep all fonts large enough (at least 24 pt and preferably 30 pt) so that people at the back of the room

will be able to easily read what is on the screen.

6. Use Contrasting Colors For Text and Background

Dark text on a light background is best, but avoid white backgrounds -- tone it down by using beige or another light color that will be easy on the eyes. Dark backgrounds are effective to show off company colors or if you just want to dazzle the crowd. In that case, be sure to make text a light color for easy reading. Patterned or textured backgrounds can reduce readability of text. Keep your color scheme consistent throughout your presentation.

7. Limit the Number of Slides

Keeping the number of slides to a minimum ensures that the presentation will not become too long and drawn out. It also avoids the problem of continually changing slides during the presentation that can be a distraction to your audience. On average, one slide per minute is about right.

8. Use Photos, Charts and Graphs

Combining photos, charts and graphs and even embedding digitized videos with text, will add variety and keep your audience interested in the presentation. Avoid having text only slides.

9. Avoid Excessive Use of Slide Transitions and Animations

While transitions and animations can heighten your audience’s interest in the presentation, too much of a good thing can distract them from what you are saying. Remember, the slide show is meant to be a visual aid, not the focus of the presentation.

Keep animations consistent in the presentation by using animation schemes and apply the same transition throughout the presentation.

1. Rehearse Your Presentation:

Rehearse your presentation out loud, accompanied by the slide show. If possible, get someone to listen while you rehearse. Have the person sit at the back of the room so you can practice speaking loudly and clearly. Ask your listener for honest feedback about your presentation skills. Make changes where necessary and run through the whole show again.

2. Introduction & Thanks

Remember to introduce yourself if your audience doesn't know you personally, and to thank them for their time at the end. These are simple formalities, but are considered polite.

3. Handouts

Let the audience know at the beginning of your PowerPoint presentation that you will give out copies of the slides at the end of the presentation. This ensures that the audience is following along with your presentation and not busy taking notes or distracted by the handouts.

4. Pick Powerful Props:

You don't need a box full of props like the watermelon-smashing comic, Gallagher. A few simple props to demonstrate a point can be memorable in the minds of your target audience.

5. Look at the audience

If you ever wondered where you should be looking when presenting, the answer is right in front of you. Don’t just single out one person, but instead try to make eye contact with numerous people throughout the room. If you don’t do this then you aren’t engaging the audience, you are just talking to yourself. This can result in an utter lack of attention from your audience.

6. Do Not Speak to Your Slides:

Many presenters watch their presentation rather than their audience. You made the slides, so you already know what is on them. Turn to your audience and make eye contact with them. It will make it easier for them to hear what you are saying, and they will find your presentation much more interesting.

7. Talk to your audience, not at them

People hate it when they get talked at, so don’t do it. You need to interact with your audience and create a conversation. An easy way to do this is to ask them questions as well as letting them ask you questions.

8. Pace Yourself:

As part of your practice, learn to pace your presentation. Generally, you should spend about one minute per slide. If there are time constraints, make sure that the presentation will finish on time. During your delivery, be ready to adjust your pace in case you need to clarify information for your audience or answer questions.

9. Show some movement

You probably know that you need to show some movement when speaking, but naturally you may forget to do so. Make sure you show some gestures or pace around a bit (not too much) on the stage when speaking. Remember, no one likes watching a stiff. People are more engaged with an animated speaker.

10. Watch what you say

You usually don’t notice when you say “uhm”, “ah”, or any other useless word frequently, but the audience does. It gets quite irritating; so much that some members of the audience will probably count how many times you say these useless words.

11. Have a Backup Plan:

What if your projector dies? Or the computer crashes? Or the CD drive doesn’t work? Or your CD gets stepped on? For the first two, you may have no choice but to go with an AV-free presentation, so have a printed copy of your notes with you. For the last two, carry a backup of your presentation on a USB flash drive or email yourself a copy, or better yet, do both.

1.阅读短文，并按要求回答76-80题。

Several Asian hospitals are doing experiments with tele-medicine. Tele-medicine

is a technology that allows doctors to "see" patients without them being in the same

place. This is made possible through high-speed communication networks （网络）.At

both ends of the line, the way of video-meeting lets them see and talk to each other.

Blood pressure (血压) and body temperature are directly shown on computers.

Tele-medicine is already in wide use in some places such as the United States

and Germany. Among other uses, village doctors hold "consultations (会诊)" with

far-away experts（专家）. The experts can also help them during operations.

Tele-medicine has been slow to reach Asia because of high costs, besides other reasons. When things improve, this technology will develop very fast. Chinese

University of Hong Kong's medical school has joined a big hospital in Beijing, and

Thailand is building a tele-medicine station connecting 20 areas.

Tele-medicine will do good to patients because doctors from different places

can see them and give their medical advice. The help is quite important if the disease

is an unusual one. It also helps spread medical knowledge among experts.

As tele-medicine develops well, its costs will be lower and it will become very

popular in the medical field.

American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the

beginning of the term, students must select their

courses and teachers first. While in China students

usually have no chances to select their courses and

teachers.

Selecting is very important for your grades in America. So at the first term,

don’t select too many courses, 74.or you’ll feel very nervous and it may influence

your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information

about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must

choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the

teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing

him. Because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and

give too low grades.

There is another thing after you select the course and the teacher. How to buy

textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive.

Each copy is about $30～50. In order to save money, many students buy some used

textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library. You

must get enough ready before class. In class, discussing is very important. 75. 老师鼓励你提出问题或展示你自己的观点。They don’t usually ask you to sit well.

Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like. They don’t give you

much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge and do exercises by yourself. So

in American schools, you must do almost all things yourself.

根据文章内容，补全71、72句中所缺单词、短语或句子。

plans and get their textbooks ready besides ____________________.

exams and give too low grades.

可以看出那些留作业多的老师被称作“杀手(killer)”。

73. Because the textbooks in America are very expensive./ Because they want to save

money./ (In order )to save money. 解题思路：由文章的第三段第三句话“The textbooks

in America are very expensive.”可以看出学生们买二手书是“因为在美国教科书太贵了”

74. 否则你会感觉很紧张并且有可能影响你的学习。 解题思路：feel是系动词，feel

nervous意为“感到紧张”， 动词influence，意为“影响”；

encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人干某事”；show sth.意为“展示??”；这是由

4.Answer the questions (根据短文内容,回答下列问题)

Helen Monson has always been interested in helping her community. Her first volunteer

experience was for the American Red Cross when she was in high school. When she was a

school teacher, she also found time to volunteer. One year, she organized a Super Saturday

fun day for kids in the community. She also used to volunteer at the mint festival every year,

One summer she served food, another year she organized an art programme.

After she retired, she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was

not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed

reading.

She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community. She also helped one

woman write her stories. Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information

about her life when she visited her. She put the information in a book and got it published.

Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and grandchildren.

After a hurricane( 飓风) destroyed some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the

American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care centre. She says,” I

have always liked the Red Cross because the organization helps people in need no matter

what.”

One day Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees( 难民) who needed to learn

English. Now, she meets once a week with Sahra, a 38-year-old woman from Somalia. Sahra

is reading and writing skills. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her

daily life. She developed the pictures, and then asked Sahra questions about them. In the end,

they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sahra learn many

new words about her everyday life.

Helen says, “The most rewarding( 有益的) part of volunteer work is becoming friends with the

people I help, They enrich my life as well as I enrich theirs.”

5. 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(节俭的消费者) is one

way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?

Use It Up

You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the

tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don't throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom

of the box.

Wear It Out

You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but

they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don't have the latest iPhone until the

old one doesn't work anymore. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing

something that still works.

Make It Do

When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to

take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich.

You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese.

Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can

make something do, instead of buying something new.

Do Without

Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long

will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up
