Central Transport

One of the most frequently cited changes today is globalization; a significant factor is competing against larger retailers who can purchase direct from the manufactures and cut out the middle man. Globalization also has a large impact on SAB's business, and the ongoing search by the population of the United States for lower priced alternatives.

By collaborating with Central this will give both companies an opportunity to grow through globalization. Some of these opportunities can be found by allowing globalization to manifest itself into more network opportunities, skill gains, synergy, combined different perspectives, as well as deregulations. These opportunities can also include optimizing the system as a result of both firms working together.

By the two companies collaborating they can offer Wegman Food Markets a cost effective alternative in today's market by confronting issues that might hinder their efforts. Some issues that they must consider could be matching customer needs and requirements, along with conflicts in making decisions, and redundant management positions. Working Together to eliminate

hurtles, both firms will be successful in fulfilling Wegman Food Market's needs. This should be a good adventure for not only central transport and SAB, but should also be a very good scenario for Wegman Food Markets.

My recommendations for Susan would be to meet with Jean and put together a plan that will ensure success in the near as well as the long term future. They should also contact Wegman Food Market CEO and inform him of their purposed venture. Together they should make every effort to achieve this collaboration and look forward to a successful future.
