Class Activity (21/09/2005)
Come up with a story idea from the information in the supplied balance sheet.
On page 11, Just Group LTD's "business aquired" section shows Dotti pty ltd (a subsidiary of Just Group) purchased the operation of 10 Dotti stores. It's almost been a year since this happened (October 21 2004), so it would be interesting to see how this investment is shaping up after 12 months.
What angle would you take?
I'd take the grass-roots approach, see how the retailers are being run from the ground up and to see if the chain has what it takes to stay alive.
Who would you talk to for further information?
I'd probably talk to people who work in the retailers (managers and staff), plus someone from the Employee Chamber of commerce and industry for some background information on Just Group and how the company is doing.
Write an abstract to go on the front page of a news website about this story.
Intensity in ten-city retailers -
In October 2004, Just Group's 4.1 per cent increase in profits at the end of the financial year prompted a bold expansion. A year on from Just Group subsidiary Dotti PTY LTD's opening of ten new stores, the chain is showing promising returns.
