减少损耗就是增加利润——参加第七届中国零售企业防损管理高层研讨会有感

由中国连锁经营协会主办的“第七届中国零售企业防损管理高层研讨会”于2009年3月12日～3月14日在浙江杭州成功举办。 中国连锁经营协会发起组织“中国零售企业防损管理高层论坛”已是第七个年头了。该论坛的宗旨是“推动防损人员交流,促进防损事业发展”。参会对象为：中国连锁经营协会防损专业委员会成员;     

挖掘利润泉眼，开拓管理需求 零售连锁店非安全应用日趋明朗

零售业因其遍地开花、后劲十足，倍受安防企业的关注，他们近乎一致地认为，零售业尤其是连锁店将是未来安防产品民用市场的主战场。[编者按]     

从家乐福看防损EAS的应用

谨以此文，从防损的专业角度和零售业精耕细作的思路出发，来分析家乐福这样的世界领先企业的防损方案，并为国内企业防损工作带去一些启发和提高。     

二、三线城市——安防企业的下一个利润角逐场

在部分人看来，二、三线城市是一块有待开发的风水宝地，如同摆在桌面上有待瓜分的蛋糕，但细究起来，想在二、三线城市淘金远远没有表面上那么简单，因为，一个尚未完全开发的市场同时也是一个不成熟的市场，存在更多未知的因素，过分的乐观往往会导致企业犯一些主观和低级的错误。与一线城市相比，二、三线城市存在着许多不可预见的风险。     

留住客户的策略

在企业中实施CRM,寻找适当的客户关系管理策略,通过对客户的挖掘、研究、培育和识别有价值的客户、改进对客户的服务水平,提高客户的价值、满意度、忠实度,寻找扩展业务所需的新的市场和渠道,可以为企业带来更多的利润。     

寻找隐藏的利润

隐藏的利润就像埋藏在地下的宝藏，要把这些财富捧在手上，需要付出心血勘探、发掘、开采和提炼。也正是这样坚持不懈地寻找和发现，才能给企业插上持续发展的翅膀     

企业利润的来源

改革开放以来,市场经济在中国经历了一个从被排斥到逐渐发展壮大的过程,所谓市场经济（marketeconomy）是一种主要由个人和私人企业决定生产和消费的经济制度。在市场体系中,每一样东西都有价格,即物品的货币价值。价格代表了消费者与厂商愿意交换各自商品的条件。除此之外,     

第三方利润源泉与核心竞争力的打造:“今天的物流建设如何帮助企业突围,提升效益”专题编者按

人们都说2012年是充满变数的,同样的"物流"也充满了这样那样的变数。笼罩在电商、传统零售、快递、甚至消费者心中关于"物流"的阴霾仍然前景不明。目前系统庞大的物流企业正面临激变,但     

吴云春:做高利润的PPG

吴云春给他的锦衣坊赋予的使命是“锦衣惠天下”。从这句话中我们不难看出，吴云春的锦衣坊打的是优良品质和低廉价格两张牌。说起这个使命，吴云春坦言道，“在我们做外贸服装批发时，利润非常的低，所以我们就用这句话安慰自己，没想到后来创立了品牌，却越觉得这句话有道理，     

行业“联姻”能否缔结出利润的硕果？

可以说．浴血奋战二十多年的国内安防企业在历经了无数的惊喜与失落之后．逐步成长为一个较成熟的产业。在各种因素催生之下，高速发展的安防市场证明：中国不仅日益成为安防生产的重地，也是对安防需求量旺盛的重要市场。近来，像GE这样的多元化企业在中国凝云布阵，英特尔与国美加紧磋商……种种事例表明，多方势力对中国安防市场都已经寄予了厚望。     

Turnover: A Silent Profit Killer

Turnover is a silent but significant profit killer. Some managers mistakenly believe that it is inevitable and that nothing can be done to stop it - not true! Turnover can contribute substantially to the costs of operating an IT department and can be a sign that something is seriously wrong. However, the days of the Internet craze promotions and large salary increases are no longer the norm. Turnover is not what it used to be, but most any turnover can hurt the profitability of an organization if even in the short run.     

保持一颗好奇心

艺术与时装品牌合作的情况自三年前风靡一时后便屡见不鲜,这使得许多品牌一度陷入苦恼,纷纷绞尽脑汁试图挖掘新锐的艺术家与之合作。也许在看到雷宝棋（Winnie Lui）为adidas Originals 2009秋冬女子系列特别创作的个展“WINNIFIED WONDERLAND”前,你压根不会想到运动和艺术有什么关系。     

Keep IT Simple

SUMMARY

Distance education students are often goal-oriented and task-driven. They do not appreciate roadblocks that prevent them from gaining access to the information or services they need to complete their course objectives. However, Web-based reference support sites are sometimes more frustrating than helpful. This article discusses some of the difficulties of accessing reference services faced by distance education students and examines ways in which librarians should “keep IT simple” when designing the tools and methods to access reference support.     

Path-vector contracting: Profit maximization and risk management

We consider an Internet Service Provider’s (ISP’s) problem of providing end-to-end (e2e) services with bandwidth guarantees, using a path-vector based approach. In this approach, an ISP uses its edge-to-edge (g2g) single-domain contracts and vector of contracts purchased from neighboring ISPs as the building blocks to construct, or participate in constructing, an end-to-end “contract path”. We develop a spot-pricing framework for the e2e bandwidth guaranteed services utilizing this path contracting strategy, by formulating it as a stochastic optimization problem with the objective of maximizing expected profit subject to risk constraints. In particular, we present time-invariant path contracting strategies that offer high expected profit at low risks, and can be implemented in a fully distributed manner. Simulation analysis is employed to evaluate the contracting and pricing framework under different network and market conditions. An admission control policy based on the path contracting strategy is developed and its performance is analyzed using simulations.     

Guard games on graphs: Keep the intruder out!

A team of mobile agents, called guards, tries to keep an intruder out of an assigned area by blocking all possible attacks. In a graph model for this setting, the guards and the intruder are located on the vertices of a graph, and they move from node to node via connecting edges. The area protected by the guards is an induced subgraph of the given graph. We investigate the algorithmic aspects of the guarding problem, which is to find the minimum number of guards sufficient to patrol the area. We show that the guarding problem is PSPACE-hard and provide a set of approximation algorithms. All approximation algorithms are based on the study of a variant of the game where the intruder must reach the guarded area in a single step in order to win. This variant of the game appears to be a 2-approximation for the guarding problem, and for graphs without cycles of length 5 the minimum number of required guards in both games coincides. We give a polynomial time algorithm for solving the one-step guarding problem in graphs of bounded treewidth, and complement this result by showing that the problem is W[1]-hard parameterized by the treewidth of the input graph. We also show that the problem is fixed parameter tractable (FPT) parameterized by the treewidth and maximum degree of the input graph. Finally, we turn our attention to a large class of sparse graphs, including planar graphs and graphs of bounded genus, namely apex-minor-free graphs. We prove that the one-step guarding problem is FPT and possess a PTAS on apex-minor-free graphs.     

网络病毒的防范技巧

随着人类科学文明的进步,计算机技术和网络技术在近几年也高速的发展起来。可以说,网络带给人们的是方便、快捷,但是也带来了一些问题。病毒自出现之始。就成为一个严峻的问题摆在我们面前。相比于传统类型的病毒,网络类型的病毒有着更强大的传播性,尽管两者在具体的表现形式、传播路径和破坏目标方面有所不同,但是     

小灵通机卡分离:留守自己的天空

一切似乎都在按部就班地进行着。如果说2004年12月13日“中国固网和PHS终端联盟”成立大会上列出的小灵通机卡分离时间表还只是人们的一个预期，那么这个预期如今已经成为现实。2005年5月16日．中国电信和中国网通如期举行新闻发布会，向社会宣布小灵通机卡分离业务的推出。而早在2003年10月底举行的北京国际通信展上，UT斯达康就将全球首款价格在千元以内的机卡分离小灵通摆上展台。中兴通讯在2004年6月推出的具有3S技术的小灵通终端V81．也已经预留了安装PIM卡的卡槽．技术上完全可以提供机卡分离功能。小灵通的新一轮消费高潮似乎已初显端倪。
