FedEx Supply and demand Primarily working in logistics for the government, we have really shifted into inventory control by shipping items everyday to other units. This helps the government save money when another unit doesn’t need an item at that time. This method also helps us to get something to a unit faster than maybe a company can. When shipping these inventory parts we will use FedEx most of the time. FedEx offers a really easy way of creating labels and setting up accounts, making the process of tracking and shipping easier. When a unit is in need of a part that is critical to operations, FedEx is a company that can get that part there the next day at a reasonable price rather than waiting for that part to be ordered and shipped.

  • Federated Department Stores

    2130 Words  | 5 Pages

    Present day Federated consists of both Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s stores and operates in 34 states as well as Guam and Puerto Rico. While Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s provide both private and national brands and are similar in merchandising categories (men’s, women’s and children’s apparel, home décor, shoes, beauty, and accessories), they differ greatly in culture. Bloomingdale’s, being more upscale, targets consumers that are more concerned with trend and quality than they are price. Macy’s targets the more value oriented consumer and represents a broader Federated clientele. Macy’s represents 423 of the 459 Federated locations while Bloomingdale’s represents only 36 locations. Because I can better relate to the value conscious consumer of the Macy’s division and because they represent such a large portion of Federated, I will further explore their current characteristics and behaviors that suggest that they possess qualities of both monopolistic competition and oligopolies.
