Scotland
lies to the north of England. People who live in Scotland arc Scots.

The capital of Scotland is Edinburgh, but Scotland has no
separate Parliament, for the Scottish MPs (Members of Parliament) sit
with the English ones in Westminster in London.

Edinburgh is
not the largest city in Scotland. Glasgow, which lias a population of
over one million, is twice as large as Edinburgh.

Even so,
Edinburgh remains the centre of the life of Scotland. Here are the
administrative centres of the Navy, the Army, and tlie Air Force, the
chief banks and offices; and the famous university.

Edinburgh,
unlike Glasgow, has no large factories. Publishing is its well-known
industry. It has been famous for its printers since the early years
of the sixteenth century, when the first Scottish printing-press was
set up within its walls. The publishing of books is today a very
important industry. Much printing is done for London publishing
houses, and there are many paper-mills near Edinburgh.

Edinburgh
is a beautiful city. The first thing you see in Edinburgh is the Rock
-— the very large hill in the middle of the city, on which stands
Edinburgh Castle.. The Castle looks like a castle from a fairy-tale,
and parts of it are more than a thousand years old. From the top of
the Castle there is a beautiful view of the hill and the sea.

Besides the Castle there are many other interesting buildings,
such as Holyrood Palace which is the old royal residence, the Art
Gallery, the University of Edinburgh.

Because they trust about the quality for the products

2. Which companies make all of their products in their own country?

Prada makes all of their products in their own country

Made in Europe
By Jo Johnson, Fred Kapner and Richard McGregor
Almost every fashion label outside the top super-luxury brands is either already
manufacturing in Asia or thinking of it. Coach, the US leather goods maker, is a classis
example. Over the past five years, it has lifted all its gross margins by manufacturing
solely in low-cost markets. In March 2002 it closed its factory in Lares, Puerto Rico, its
last company-owned plant, and outsources all its products.
Burberry has many Asian licensing arrangements. In 2000 it decided to renew
Sanyo’s Japanese licence for 20 ten years. This means that almost half of Burberry’s
sales at retail value will continue to be produced under licence in Asia. At the same time
however, Japanese consumers prefer the group’s European-made products.
Sanyo is now creating to this demand for a snob alternative to the Burberry
products made in its factories across Asia by opening a flagship store in Tokyo’s Ginza,
where it sells Burberry products imported from Europe.
In interviews with the FT, many executives says the top luxury brands will
continue to be seen, particularly in Asia, as European. Domenico De Sole of Gucci says “
The Asian Consumer really dos believe – whether it’s true or not – that luxury comes
from Europe and must be made there to be the best.’
Serge Weinberg, Chief Executive of Pinault Printemps Redoute, which controls
Gucci, says it will not move Gucci’s production of shore. Yet some in the industry
recognize that change may be round the corner even for the superluxury brands. Patrizio
Bertelli, Chief Executive of Prada, says:’ The “Made in Italy” label is important but what
we are really offering is a style, and style is an expression of culture.’ He therefore
recognizes that quality fashion items may not always need to be produced in italy.

Discussion


Two Promotions


A.Work in pairs. Student A reads case 1 and answers the questions. Student B read
Case 2 and answer the questions.

Case 1 : Harley Davidson.
In 2003 the Harley Davidson brand was 100 years old. Although its brand image is based
on the spirit of wild and rebellious youth such as Marlon Brando in the film The Wild
One (1954), the typical consumer is very different. They are likely to be rich, middleaged
accountants trying to recapture their youth. The average age of Harley Davidson
customers is 46 compared with 36 for the rest of the motorbike industry. At the party to
celebrate the centenary, the surprise performance was actually Elton John, rather than the
Rolling Stones who many people had expected. This caused many of the 150,000 riders
and dealers to leave the event very unhappy. Although sales and earnings for Harley
Davidson have been increasing for the past 18 years, many people see the trouble on the
road ahead. The problem is Harley Davidson’s typical customers from the baby –boom
generation (1946 – 1964) and, as these customers get older, Harley Davidson may find its
market shrinking.

1. What is the brand image of Harley Davidson? Brand image of Harley
Davidson is based on the spirit of wild and rebellious youth such as
Marlon Brando in the film The Wild One (1954)

2. Why were many people unhappy about the music at the party? Because, at
the party to celebrate the centenary, the surprise performance was
actually Elton John, rather than the Rolling Stones who many people had
expected

3. What problem could have Harley Davidson have in the future? The
problem is market shrinking, because Harley Davidson’s typical
customers from the baby –boom generation (1946 – 1964) and, as these
customers get older

4. What can Harley Davidson fo to preserve it sales? Should it change its
brand image? Should it look for a new market segments? Should it stretch
its brand? My opinion is Harley Davidson should look for a new market
segment

Case 2 : JCB
JCB is a world-famous engineering company. It was founded in 1945 by Joseph Cyril
Bamford. He began his business working alone in a small garage. JCB makes
construction and agricultural equipment such as tractors, earth-moving vehicles, and
loading machines. Now its world headquarters in England is one of the finest
engineering factories in Europe. The company produces over 130 different models on
four different continents and sells a full range of equipment in over 150 countries. It is
truly a global brand.
JCB’s research showed that its customers associated with the company with the
following brand values :’yellow,’digger’, and ‘durable’. Adult saw the brand and being
functional. Children, on the other hand, saw the brand as ‘big’, ‘muddy’ and ‘fun’. JCB
made a decision to stretch its brand.

1. Where does the name JCB come from? JCB come from the name of Joseph Cyril
Bamford. He is founded a world-famous engineering company(JCB)

2. What was surprising about JCB’s customer research? JCB’s research showed
that its customers associated with the company with the following brand values
:’yellow,’digger’, and ‘durable’

3. What sort of products do you think JCB developed as a result of its research? JCB

Road ragers in the sky
By Derek Brown

Airlines and their long-suffering customers are reporting a steep climb in air rage
incidents. Some incidents are apparently caused by problems which are familiar to many
regular travellers. One case reported from America stemmed from an interminable delay
in takeoff, when passangers were cooped up in their aircraft on the tarmac or our hours,
without food, drink or information. Mass unrest is less common the individual
misbehaviour, as in the case of the convict who recently went crazy on a flight, attacked
the crew and tried to open the door in mind flight.
The psychology of air rage is a new are o study, and there are almost as many
explanations as examples. Most analysis of the phenomenon blame alcohol, but many
people now think that the airlines are at fault. To cut costs, they are cramming ever more
passangers into their aircraft, while reducing cabin crew, training, and quality of service,
all o which increase passenger frustration. In addition, there are increasing concern in the
US about another cost-cutting exercise, which could seriously harm passengers’ health:
cabin ventilation.

I. Modern aircraft are equipped with sophisticated air conditioning devices –
but running them at.optimum capacity burns up valuable aviation fuel.
Many airlines routinely instruct their flight crews to run the systems on
minimum settings. Champaignes for improved air quality claim that this
can lead to irritability and disorientation.
In the US, the soaring number of passenger complaints across a wide range of
issues is reflected in a number of new internet sites which criticize the airline and demand
better service. One of the sites is demanding an air passengers’ Bill of Rights.
Cabin and flight crews, who are in the front line of the battle against disruptive
and dangerous in-flight behaviour, have called for stiffer penalties against the offenders.
Management have also called or legislation – while denying that its cost-cutting practices
have contributed to the problem. But there are some signs, in the US at least, that the
airlines are at last attempting to respond to customer dissatisfaction. Some major lines
have announced concessions to the most frequent complaint for all, and are removing
seats to make more room for their customers.

Made in Europe

By Jo Johnson, Fred Kapner and Richard McGregor

Almost every fashion label outside the top super-luxury brands is either already      manufacturing in Asia or thinking of it. Coach, the US leather goods maker, is a classis example. Over the past five years, it has lifted all its gross margins by manufacturing solely in low-cost markets. In March 2002 it closed its factory in Lares, Puerto Rico, its last company-owned plant, and outsources all its products.

Burberry has many Asian licensing arrangements. In 2000 it decided to renew Sanyo’s Japanese licence for 20 ten years. This means that almost half of Burberry’s sales at retail value will continue to be produced under licence in Asia. At the same time however, Japanese consumers prefer the group’s European-made products.

Sanyo is now creating to this demand for a snob alternative to the Burberry products made in its factories across Asia by opening a flagship store in Tokyo’s Ginza, where it sells Burberry products imported from Europe.

In interviews with the FT, many executives says the top luxury brands will continue to be seen, particularly in Asia, as European. Domenico De Sole of Gucci says “ The Asian Consumer really dos believe – whether it’s true or not – that luxury comes from Europe and must be made there to be the best.’

Serge Weinberg, Chief Executive of Pinault Printemps Redoute, which controls Gucci, says it will not move Gucci’s production of shore. Yet some in the industry recognize that change may be round the corner even for the superluxury brands. Patrizio Bertelli, Chief Executive of Prada, says:’ The “Made in Italy” label is important but what we are really offering is a style, and style is an expression of culture.’ He therefore recognizes that quality fashion items may not always need to be produced in italy.

Amitava Chattopadhyay, professor of marketing at  Insead, the business school, says:’ A brand is a set of associations in the mind of the consumer and one of these is the country of origin. . For luxury goods, the role of the brand is crucial. To damage it is a cardinal sin and no brand manager will want to get the balance between manufacturing location and the brand image wrong’.

Discussion

Two Promotions

A.Work in pairs. Student A reads case 1 and answers the questions. Student B read Case 2 and answer the questions.

Case 1 : Harley Davidson.

In 2003 the Harley Davidson brand was 100 years old. Although its brand image is based on the spirit of wild and rebellious youth such as Marlon Brando in the film The Wild One (1954), the typical consumer is very different. They are likely to be rich, middle-aged accountants trying to recapture their youth. The average age of Harley Davidson customers is 46 compared with 36 for the rest of the motorbike industry. At the party to celebrate the centenary, the surprise performance was actually Elton John, rather than the Rolling Stones who many people had expected. This caused many of the 150,000 riders and dealers to leave the event very unhappy. Although sales and earnings for Harley Davidson have been increasing for the past 18 years, many people see the trouble on the road ahead. The problem is Harley Davidson’s typical customers from the baby –boom generation (1946 – 1964) and, as these customers get older, Harley Davidson may find its market shrinking.

1. What is the brand image of Harley Davidson? Brand image of Harley Davidson is based on the spirit of wild and rebellious youth such as Marlon Brando in the film The Wild One (1954)

2. Why were many people unhappy about the music at the party? Because, at the party to celebrate the centenary, the surprise performance was actually Elton John, rather than the Rolling Stones who many people had expected

3. What problem could have Harley Davidson have in the future? The problem ismarket shrinking, because Harley Davidson’s typical customers from the baby –boom generation (1946 – 1964) and, as these customers get older

4. What can Harley Davidson fo to preserve it sales? Should it change its brand image?

Should it look for a new market segments? Should it stretch its brand? My opinion is Harley Davidson should look for a new market segment

Case 2 : JCB

JCB is a world-famous engineering company. It was founded  in 1945 by Joseph Cyril Bamford. He began his business working alone in a small garage. JCB makes construction and agricultural equipment such as tractors, earth-moving vehicles, and loading machines. Now its world  headquarters in England is one of the finest engineering factories in Europe. The company produces over 130 different models on four different continents and sells a full range of equipment in over 150 countries. It is truly a global brand.

JCB’s research  showed that its customers  associated with the company with the following brand values :’yellow,’digger’, and ‘durable’. Adult saw the brand and being functional. Children, on the other hand, saw the brand as ‘big’, ‘muddy’ and ‘fun’. JCB made a decision to stretch its brand.

1. Where does the name JCB come from? JCB come from the name of Joseph Cyril Bamford. He is founded a world-famous engineering company(JCB)

2. What was surprising about JCB’s customer research? JCB’s research  showed that its customers  associated with the company with the following brand values :’yellow,’digger’, and ‘durable’

3. What sort of products do you think JCB developed as a result of its research? JCB makes construction and agricultural equipment such as tractors, earth-moving vehicles, and loading machines.

Road ragers in the sky

By Derek Brown

Airlines and their long-suffering customers are reporting a steep climb in air rage incidents. Some incidents are apparently caused by problems which are familiar to many regular travellers. One case reported from America stemmed from an interminable delay in takeoff, when passangers were cooped up in their aircraft on the tarmac or our hours, without food, drink or information. Mass unrest is less common the individual misbehaviour, as in the case of the convict who recently went crazy on a flight, attacked the crew and tried to open the door in mind flight.

The psychology of air rage is a new are o study, and there are almost as many explanations as examples. Most analysis of the phenomenon blame alcohol, but many people now think that the airlines are at fault. To cut costs, they are cramming ever more passangers into their aircraft, while reducing cabin crew, training, and quality of service, all o which increase passenger frustration. In addition, there are increasing concern in the US about another cost-cutting exercise, which could seriously harm passengers’ health: cabin ventilation.

Modern aircraft are equipped with sophisticated air conditioning devices – but running them at.optimum capacity burns up valuable aviation fuel. Many airlines routinely instruct their flight crews to run the systems on minimum settings. Champaignes for improved air quality claim that this can lead to irritability and disorientation.

In the US, the soaring number of passenger complaints across a wide range of issues is reflected in a number of new internet sites which criticize the airline and demand better service. One of the sites is demanding an air passengers’ Bill of Rights.

Cabin and flight crews, who are in the front line of the battle against disruptive and dangerous in-flight behaviour, have called for stiffer penalties against the offenders. Management have also called or legislation – while denying that its cost-cutting practices have contributed to the problem. But there are some signs, in the US at least, that the airlines are at last attempting to respond to customer dissatisfaction. Some major lines have announced concessions to the most frequent complaint for all, and are removing seats to make more room for their customers.

Example: If I find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.

I want to send an invitation to a friend. I just have to find her address. I am quite sure, however, that I will find it.

Example: If John has the money, he will buy a Ferrari.

I know John very well and I know that he earns a lot of money and that he loves Ferraris. So I think it is very likely that sooner or later he will have the money to buy a Ferrari.

2. Untrue in the Present / Future Time

Form

if + Simple Past, main clause with Conditional I (= would + Infinitive)

Example: If I found her address, I would send her an invitation .

The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don’t use a comma.

Example: I would send her an invitation if I found her address .

Were instead of Was

In IF Clauses Type II, we usually use ‚were‘ – even if the pronoun is I , he , she or it –.

Example: If I were you, I would not do this .

The function of conditional sentence type two is to explain our imagination.

For Example

• If the price of gasoline were only Rp. 1000 I would be very happy.

• What would you do if you found $100.00 on the street.

• If I had a lot of money, I wouldn’t stay here.

Use

Conditional Sentences Type II refer to situations in the present. An action could happen if the present situation were different. I don’t really expect the situation to change, however. I just imagine „what would happen if …“

Example: If I found her address, I would send her an invitation .

I would like to send an invitation to a friend. I have looked everywhere for her address, but I cannot find it. So now I think it is rather unlikely that I will eventually find her address.

Example: If John had the money, he would buy a Ferrari .

I know John very well and I know that he doesn’t have much money, but he loves Ferraris. He would like to own a Ferrari (in his dreams). But I think it is very unlikely that he will have the money to buy one in the near future.

3. Untrue In the Past Time

Form

if + Past Perfect, main clause with Conditional II

Example: If I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation .

The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don’t use a comma.

Example: I would have sent her an invitation if I had found her address .

Use

Conditional Sentences Type III refer to situations in the past. An action could have happened in the past if a certain condition had been fulfilled. Things were different then, however. We just imagine, what would have happened if the situation had been fulfilled.

Example: If I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation .

Sometime in the past, I wanted to send an invitation to a friend. I didn’t find her address, however. So in the end I didn’t send her an invitation.

Example: If John had had the money, he would have bought a Ferrari .

I knew John very well and I know that he never had much money, but he loved Ferraris. He would have loved to own a Ferrari, but he never had the money to buy one.
