[Closed] University Assignment on SMEs!

smeeee

heeee

How about CRC's complete lack of sustainability focus (by sending out valve caps in huge cardboard boxes)

Seconded CRC lack of judgement and their 2 box system is ridiculous - I received similar small items in enormous boxes.

I am struggling for ideas and my previous few have had to be aborted due to lack or primary information available.

Typical student. 😉

CRC aren't really an SME, unless I'm totally off track? EC/EU definition of SME is under 250 employees, CRC say they have over 500.

EDIT: They're also the "world's largest online bike store", and even if technically they were an SME, then that is more to do with the size of the high-end bike market than anything else, as they essentially behave the same way as someone like Amazon does in other markets.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, I'd say both their turnover and staff numbers make them not an SME - I was going to do pound bakery and how they have been very successful through the recession but their making team have been useless and the local store manager very abrupt.

It was an attempt at a joke 🙂

Ahh sorry - my desperate to find a company state didn't register that...
