Best Buy wholly owned five-star news, PR China from Best Buy sent the media an e-mail: “Best Buy Five Star Group has received the remaining shares, wholly owned Five Star.”

Sources at that time, the two sides had agreed to the pricing scheme is: Best Buy in February 21, 2009 to pay about 185 million U.S. dollars in cash.

With the initial acquisition three years ago, compared to the low profile seems a lot of Best Buy. That year, for the completion of this acquisition, Best Buy has frequently visited the world’s top central and local governments of Jiangsu, finally in June 2006 to 184 million U.S. dollars acquisition of 75% stake in Five Star. Sources said that as early as the original signed agreement, both sides have talked about the issue will release the remaining shares, that Best Buy will be the sole control of the final Five Star.

This with Best Buy to enter Canada through a similar. In 2001, it acquired Canada

Home Appliances

Retailer FutureShop, have already been questioned, but four years later it reached 30% market share.

“Does not scale, only a single store selling efforts to increase profit. Therefore, whether to go high-end promoting or pushing its own brand Ye Hao, Best Buy are trying to break through under the current size disadvantage. But the overall performance far from the competition, open more Best Buy stores are not always recognize the ultimate dream. “

This is only many domestic media and industry experts to challenge the move in China, Best Buy, the tip of the iceberg.

Best Buy Five Star

acquisition, a time of many by the Chinese media and many experts questioned the reasons behind what is it? But no matter how high voices of doubt, we have to believe that Best Buy could not make a trading loss, and this sale is at Best Buy after the first five-star investment, re-produced under a wholly-owned acquisitions. So, the industry attracted many voices of doubt it is because it? Perhaps people on Best Buy’s “Chinese overtly” do not agree, perhaps the development of our Best Buy misread the path.

Rational thinking on the no rational competition

Has been developing in China, Best Buy, the slow and weak forces, not only repeatedly mentioned by the media, have become dismissive of the reasons for its competitors.

Suning

Electric Sun Weimin, president, once said that they have not time to consider Best Buy, because the other stores in China, too few, only “cat.”

States United States

Sun, vice president of a small group also believes that Best Buy only from the formal transplant operations in North America model, but limited the number and regional distribution of stores, they simply can not compete GOME.

Proved that this view is not raved. Best Buy into China from the first day until today, Best Buy stores in China to reach the number seven. While on six months ago, Best Buy’s China, “the second store” also has been in a difficult labor conditions. These figures and the Best Buy story twists and turns of China is to let the industry in general question the behavior of the reason Best Buy, and even Best Buy to become the industry’s assertions miss the rapid development in China’s prime-time direct incentive.

However, there is the internal Who better than the Best Buy own solution in which the shamisen it deep?

First of all, since Best Buy had 75% controlling stake in Five Star, after, although in name became as family members, but in fact is not how Best Buy Five Star is regrettable. On the one hand, Best Buy consumer electronics chain in China, the market still remains a new army, on a lot of things to read, not to feel; other hand, the Five Star business also continues to be dominated by veteran Wang Jianguo and the core management of the hands of indeed affect the whole body, therefore, can only be patient with Best Buy. So we see that in the Five Star, Best Buy in addition to import the Management Information System, to do some research and training in addition to, and not as much as the two companies do not sing a song with the centripetal force.

After all the training, marathon day is finally here! You look out the window to see what the weather looks like, and check the local temperature. Will you meet your marathon goal? Or will you be struggling into the finish…?

A well thought-out race strategy will help you run the best marathon you can. There are many things that can affect you during this long event. If you have thought about them previously then you will be make the right adjustments during the run and complete a successful marathon.

The main factors that will affect your performance during the race are:

* Your marathon goal

* Your pacing

* Your conditioning and fitness level

* The weather

* The marathon course

Your marathon goal

An over-optimistic target time and race pace is the primary cause of marathoners running into problems such as leg cramps, hitting the wall and running out of energy well before the end of the race.

One of the most important things you can do at the start of the race is take into account the main factors that can affect your performance and modify your target time if necessary. For example if the weather is extreme, especially too hot, you would do well to add 10 – 15 minutes to your goal. I usually add 30 seconds to my pace, which equates to 13 minutes extra.

This is a hard choice to make after all your training, but it’s better to be realistic up front than to ‘crash’ at the 18 mile mark and limp into the finish line.

Your Pacing

It’s usually better to start out at a slower pace than your intended race pace. Don’t expect to run the complete race at exactly the same pace – it just doesn’t happen that way.

“But if I go slower at the beginning” you say, “I’ll never meet my goal”. Wrong! The common belief that you will slow down in the second half is only true because you went out too fast in the first half!

So, if it’s a warm day, or a challenging course, take those first few miles easy (30 seconds to one minute slower than your “intended” pace), and see how things work out.

If the weather is hot, you definitely need to go slower for the first few miles. Your body will adjust to the conditions, and you will be able to gradually pick up the pace.

Your conditioning and fitness level

If you haven’t done enough training then you are probably going to have a tough time, unless you take it really easy. On the other hand if you have done too much hard training you could also get tired long before mile 26. This is difficult to judge at the start of a race, but you should look back over your training anyway. Did you run a 20 miler less than three weeks prior to the marathon for example?

Have you caught a cold recently? I normally monitor my pulse rate on a regular basis during training. If this is elevated on race day, it’s a sign that your body might be fighting an infection. Remember if you are not feeling 100% fit, you should modify your target finish time.

The weather

The weather can have a huge impact on your race. It is most important that you start out slower to compensate for adverse weather until you are used to the conditions. Then you can gradually pick up the pace. If you are running into a headwind, you will be using more energy than normal, and will tire too soon if you keep pushing the pace early on.

The Marathon Course

It helps a lot if you are familiar with the marathon course, either because you have run it before or you have driven it. Many marathons boast of a ‘flat’ course but when you’re at mile 18 even a slight incline can feel like a mountain if you are struggling. If the course is known for having some challenging spots like Heartbreak Hill at Boston, my advice is to ease up before you get there so you have some energy in reserve.

Conclusion

There is a lot more to running the marathon than just completing the 26 miles. This is a long endurance event that can wear down even the best-trained athletes. If you follow the pointers above, you’ll increase your chances of finishing the race without too much difficulty.
