               CHAPTER 5 – INTERNAL ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS


               5.1  PBB operates a chain of fast-food bakeries selling bread, pastries and
                     sandwiches. It has many rivals offering  similar products, but due to internal
                     efficiencies and economies of scale it has the lowest selling  prices in the
                     industry. PBB’s managers feel that this is the key reason for PBB’s ongoing
                     growth.

                     Which TWO of the following options correctly identify PBB’s ability to sell
                     at low prices?

                     A     Core competence

                     B     Objective

                     C     Critical success factor


                     D     Threshold competence

                     E     Key performance indicator


               5.2  JJV is a professional services firm that offers investment advice to its clients. It
                     has historically used the value chain to analyse its operations, but wishes to use
                     an alternative model that reflects JJV’s ability to mobilise its resources to create
                     specific, tailored services for its clients.

                     Which ONE of the following options correctly identifies a model that
                     would be appropriate for JJV to use?

                     A     Value chain

                     B     Value shop


                     C     Value driver

                     D     Value system






















                                                                                                      137
