on the opposite page from an article giving advice to people setting up a
business.· Which extract (A, B, C, D or E) does each statement (1-8) refer

BA/BSo you think you're an entrepreneur, and you want to start up a
company. First, be sure you're really an entrepreneur, and not an inventor.
Inventors come up with ideas, entrepreneurs make a business out of them: it's
important to know where your abilities lie, as inventors can fail miserably at
running a business. Also, you need to be confident that you can adapt your
management style to meet new demands if your company is a success. Leading the
management team of a growing business is very different from leading a newly
founded company.BB/BIf your company proves successful, it will
probably change out of all recognition, and may seem to possess a life of its
own, with institutional shareholders, regulators and employees to consider as
well as customers and bank managers. That is the time to consider how far the
aspirations of the business you founded still mirror your own. If they have
diverged widely, and you feel you have built just the sort of business that you
perhaps tried to escape from in the first place, it may be time to
leave.BC/BBringing an idea to life requires an organisation. If you
are going into business with your friends, make sure you treat them as
professionally as you would your arms-length business partners, because the odds
are that you'll fall out with them. It may not seem important at the start, but
it will strengthen the company if you ensure that its constitution documents are
designed with your specific business and circumstances in mind, and that they
clearly establish what will happen in the event of a withdrawal from the
business by one of the founding shareholders.BD/BThink carefully
about the capital structure of the business. You could be storing up a problem
for the company in the future - for example, by allocating shares to founders in
a way that could lead to a stand-off if they refuse to see eye to eye on key
issues. Similarly, when you eventually recruit new senior team members, think
carefully about what to offer them. Don't give away share options too early. As
a rule of thumb, cash is sufficient reward for knowledge and skill. Keep equity
up your sleeve for rewarding commitment.BE/BAs your business grows,
you need to keep the right balance between management control and
entrepreneurial spirit. Too much control, and the business will ultimately cease
to grow. Too little, and growth could be unsustalnable. You'll need to employ
managers, but remember that their job is to build the infrastructure to underpin
a business that until now may have run on the basis of your salesmanship and
excitement. The risk is to bring in managers who are too much like you, without
the necessary experience of nursing a newly founded business through its
evolution.

Chile has become one of Europe's favorite sourcing countries for fruit and
vegetables. In fact it has taken less than ten years for Chile to establish
itself as Latin America's largest exporter of fruit and vegetables, with Europe
the largest consumer. Fresh produce exports are one of the country's main growth
sectors, {{U}}(9) {{/U}}.Much of the country's agriculture is
carried out in the fertile Maipo Valley, {{U}}(10) {{/U}}. The
Mediterranean climate and fertile soil provide ideal growing conditions, helped
by a comparative absence of insects and disease. Being located in the southern
hemisphere is another advantage and, at certain times of the year, {{U}}(11)

continued success, and have invested heavily in food-processing and packaging

largest frozen fruit export. There has been a dramatic rise in the export sales
of frozen fruit and vegetables, {{U}}(13) {{/U}}.A very
important player in this success story has been the Frutos del Maipo
Corporation. Frutos del Maipo was formed in 1978, originally to provide fruit
for jam producers in Chile. Using both fresh and frozen fruit, it now supplies
the national industry all year round, as well as the principal markets of
Europe, the USA and Japan. Its sales last year reached 8,000 tons and were
valued at US $12m, representing 30% of the Chilean market.The UK is
Chile's fourth largest European importer of frozen produce, {{U}}(14)
{{/U}}. The distance between Santiago and the UK means that most of this
fruit and vegetable cargo is transported by air. British airways has benefited
from the dramatic increase in exports to the UK, adding a third direct weekly
flight to Santiago. BA's World Cargo Division has seen a 45% growth in the
movement of fresh goods from Chile to the UK in the last year. According to
Rodrigo Casal of British Airways World Cargo, this trade between Chile and the

A. Shopping goods aren't bought very often, are bought only
after the consumer has compared their features with those of competing brands,
and are found in only a few stores in one area. These goods usually have a
higher unit price than convenience goods, and an individual salesperson, rather
than a cashier, may be needed to sell them. Examples of shopping goods are
automobiles, furniture, men's suits, ladies' wear, shoes, and major
appliances.B. Specialty goods like prestige automobiles,
photographic equipment, fine jewelry, and high-fashion clothing and furniture
are bought by consumers after a special shopping effort. They are bought
infrequently and are generally available only in exclusive outlets. They're
usually high-priced, but price isn't the main consideration of a consumer buying
them. A consumer is often willing to go out of the way to find a certain
brand. Specialty goods prove the point that goods are often
considered not just for their physical qualities but also for the economic
utility, ego enhancement, status, and satisfaction they carry with them. For
example, when people buy a new car, they may want it not just for basic
transportation but also for recognition, status, or prestige.
You've probably figured out that this classification of consumer goods is
far from rigid. It may differ according to buyers' intent or wishes. As
consumers' incomes and buying habits change, or as prices drop, goods shift from
one classification to another. Usually they shift downward, from the specialty
to the shopping, or from the shopping to the convenience goods category.
Television sets became shopping goods years ago. When microwave ovens first came
on the market, they were regarded by many as an expensive new toy a kind of
specialty goods-for the rich. Now they're considered indispensable shopping
goods by working couples and single people who buy them to save cooking
time.C. Durable goods can be further classified as either
consumer goods or industrial goods, each of which requires a different set of
marketing strategies. Consumer goods are used by the consumer or household that
buys them and come in a ready-to-use form that calls for no further industrial
or commercial processing. On the basis of how much effort a consumer takes to
obtain them, consumer goods can be further subdivided into (1) convenience
goods, (2) shopping goods, and (3) specialty goods.D.
Durable goods have physical qualities and uses that permit them to last a
relatively long time, even while being used. They're designed to be used up over
an extended period of time and are made of materials that will take considerable
wear and tear. For example, you probably own such durable goods as a car, tape
deck, cassette player, TV set, or stereo that should remain usable for several
years—or at least until the warranty runs out. Houses are built to last thirty
to fifty years or more. Refrigerators and mattresses both have a life expectancy
of about twenty years, and quality jewelry, silverware, china, and furniture are
frequently handed down from one generation to the next. The fact
that a product is durable influences its whole marketing strategy. Obviously,
goods like these are packaged differently, sold more personally and
aggressively, and priced higher than a tube of toothpaste or a bottle of
shampoo.E. Instead of being bought by the ultimate consumer,
industrial goods are used by businesses to produce other goods or to provide
services to consumers. These goods are usually bought by institutions such as
manufacturers, utilities, government agencies, contractors, wholesalers,
retailers, hospitals, and schools that use them in producing their own products
or services. Buyers of these goods usually provide prospective suppliers with a
description of the product or service and request that bids or price quotations
be submitted. The buying decision is usually based on technical performance,
cost, or expected monetary gain. There are many types of
industrial goods, but the most common ones are (a) raw materials, (b) component
parts, (c) installations, (d) transportation systems, (e) tools, (f) equipment,
(g) materials, and (h) supplies.
