REVENUE STRATEGY - STARBUCKS
US food firms and retailers are under pressure to reduce calorie content to help tackle its major obesity problem.
1. Starbucks is to switch to using low-fat milk as the default option for its espresso drinks in all its North American stores prompted by customer demand and could soon do the same elsewhere.
2. Consumers will still be able to request whole milk or other options such as organic or soya if they choose.
3. The low-fat transfer will begin in New York City stores next month and all US and Canadian stores will follow by the end of the year. Implementation in other countries would depend on sufficient customer demand and supply of low-fat milk.
Keep the customer satisfied… for revenue

REVENUE STRATEGY - TAKEDA PHARMACEUTICALS
1. Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., Japan's largest drugmaker, is spending 19 percent more on drug development this year to find successors to Actos before its best-selling product faces generic competition in 2011.

1. KK DaVinci Advisors, Japan's largest private real estate fund, has hired Merrill Lynch & Co. to help complete a $1.2 billion hostile takeover of TOC Co., a commercial property leasing firm.
2. It will pay 1,100 yen per TOC share, a 4.7 percent premium to the stock's closing price on May 18.
3. It can boost TOC's revenue by taking advantage of unrealized gains on property the company owns to borrow and invest in more profitable real estate.
The company won't purchase shares if it fails to accumulate majority control by July 18.
Are hostile takeovers good or bad for humanity as a whole?

REVENUE STRATEGY - APPLE
Apple and Google have joined forces and extended their lead in the high-stakes race to bring Internet entertainment from the PC to the TV.
1. Apple TV, the newly introduced device that transmits digital entertainment to television sets, will begin carrying clips from Google's YouTube.
2. For Apple, the addition of content from an already popular video-sharing site could help sell more Apple TV units.
3. Apple has big plans with regard to downloadable video in the living room, and it's natural to expect that the relatively low-quality video available on sites like YouTube will only improve.
4. Apple TV will become the conduit of a wider range of content.
5. It sells TV shows and feature films on a download-to-own basis, but there's no option to rent any of that content.
Diversification could be an alias for tech convergence, but both names can spell revenue.

REVENUE STRATEGY - PALM
The computer industry and mobile-phone makers need new gadgets to get customers excited enough to open up their wallets.
1. Palm (which gave us GRiDPad, one of the first tablet computers; PalmPilot, the first hit personal digital assistant; and the Treo smartphone) has launched Foleo, an ultracompact computer as an alternative to carrying a larger, conventional laptop.
2. It offers a nearly full-size keyboard, a 10-inch display, and comes with a selection of applications including a word processor and spreadsheet. But it may be most useful when people also carry smartphones, like Treos or BlackBerrys, and transfer e-mail to Foleo.
Creative destructions grants revenue, even if forced?

REVENUE STRATEGY - GREENCORE GROUP
1. Greencore Group Plc, the world's biggest maker of prepared sandwiches, has withdrawn from the sugar industry in 2006 after 80 years as the European Union cut back subsidies.
2. It now gets four- fifths of operating profit from convenience foods after moving into the industry to tap demand from time-pressed shoppers.
3. It may build a 500 million-euro commercial and residential development on the site of its last sugar plant, in the southern Irish town of Mallow, which it shut in 2006. It wants to convert the property into 1,000 homes, offices, a hotel and golf course.
4. It also has applied to build a 1.1 billion-euro business and residential development on the site of another former sugar plant near the Irish town of Carlow. Developers are seeking land as property prices surge in Ireland, whose economy is the fastest-growing in the euro area.
Sometimes the greatest value of a sunset industry is in its real estate.

REVENUE STRATEGY - MICROSOFT
1. Microsoft is unveiling a new technology called Surface Computing that lets people interact with computers using touch, hand gestures, and physical objects equipped with optical tags. Users can browse their music libraries by dragging a finger across the horizontal display or comparison-shop at an electronics store by simply plunking devices onto the screen. The screen, which has a set of cameras underneath it, can read 52 touches at a time, meaning small groups can work around it together. The computer can also recognize optical tags on an object, such as a digital camera with Wi-Fi. Then, by just placing the device on the tabletop, folks can automatically zip their pictures onto the computer, then edit them by hand on the screen.
2. It will make the hardware as well as the software and limit the initial market to showcase establishments where consumers can learn about the device.
3. The first 30-inch tabletop units will be priced between $5,000 and $10,000.
4. It will debut in November primarily through hotels and retailers. Harrah's Entertainment will be among the first, introducing Surface Computers at two Las Vegas properties, Caesars Palace and Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. T-Mobile USA plans to use the computers at its stores.
5. It will be initially targeted to commercial establishments, meeting rooms in businesses and high-end homes, you'll think of it as separate.
6. It will start off as something different and then hope to become a part of most human activities.
Creation and creative destruction are inevitable sources of revenue.

REVENUE STRATEGY - RELIANCE INDUSTRIES
1. Reliance Industries Ltd., owner of the world's third-biggest oil refinery, may increase fuel exports this year to offset losses from the domestic market.
2. The refiner may sell all of its premium grade gasoline and diesel overseas. It produces the Euro IV motor fuels that meet regulations of countries such as the U.K. and the U.S. Reliance's exports rose 63 percent to 17.7 million tons in the year ended March 31 from 10.8 million tons a year ago. That accounted for 57 percent of the company's production.

EXPENDITURE STRATEGY - RELIANCE INDUSTRIES
1. Reliance Industries Ltd., owner of the world's third-biggest oil refinery, cut domestic sales of gasoline and diesel last year because it couldn't compete with Indian Oil Corp., the nation's biggest refiner because state-run rivals sell fuel below cost under government orders. Losses on retailing oil products prompted Reliance to stop sales at some stations, cutting its market share to 2 percent in September from 13 percent in April 2006
2. It has slowed down the pace of retail network expansion as compared to the previous years to cut losses from selling fuels.
3. It may buy lower-grade supplies for domestic retail outlets from domestic producers including Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd.
4. It won government permission this year to exempt its crude oil imports from taxes in return for exporting at least 75 percent of its products.
[Indian Oil, the nation's biggest refiner, is losing 6.10 rupees (15 cents) for every liter of gasoline it sells and 3.75 rupees on a liter of diesel. Of the total losses, a third is reimbursed by the government as bonds, an equal amount is paid by companies including Oil & Natural Gas, and the refiners bear the remainder.]

EXPENDITURE STRATEGY - MOTOROLA
1. Motorola, the world's second largest mobile phone-maker, plans to shed an additional 4,000 jobs this year, as it continues efforts to reduce costs and reverse a fall in profits. It was already on target to complete 3,500 job reductions by the end of June.
2. Job losses and other cost-cutting moves will save the firm $600m (£304m) a year.
How will the focus shift to creating a “series” of great products?

REVENUE STRATEGY - DELL
1. Dell Inc. is turning to retail stores to boost consumer sales, the fastest- growing slice of the market and reclaim the No. 1 spot from Hewlett-Packard Co. (It had become the world's largest personal-computer maker by bypassing retailers and selling directly to customers)
2. It will sell PCs at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. starting June 10 to court consumers who want to see and touch PCs before buying. Wal-Mart will initially offer two Dell desktop PCs at 3,500 stores in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.
3. It is relying on former Motorola Inc. executive Ron Garriques, who joined the company in February, to win over more consumers. He may try to revitalize product styling the way Motorola did with the best-selling Razr.

REVENUE STRATEGY - HSBC AMANAH
1. HSBC Holdings Plc., the largest overseas bank offering Islamic services in Malaysia, plans to set up a standalone unit in the country to target Asia's growing Muslim population. (Islamic law bans the payment and receipt of interest, prohibits investment in businesses such as gambling and alcohol, and stresses profit sharing.)

3. It is trying to develop the concept of wealth management in Malaysia to target individuals. It is developing retirement planning, wealth protection and investment-linked Islamic life insurance policies.
Looking for under-serviced segments of the market equals prospecting for revenue.

REVENUE STRATEGY - MOLINOS RIO DE LA PLATA
Molinos Rio de la Plata SA, an Argentine agriculture company will prioritize crushing of high oleic-sunflowers because:
1. Many companies are switching from saturated oils to healthier alternatives to combat heart disease:
a) Fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's are using more monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, such as sunflower oil, which help reduce cholesterol.
b) PepsiCo Inc.'s Frito-Lay unit can start advertising the heart benefits of foods made with unsaturated corn and sunflower oils, spreads and shortenings.
c) Aramark Corp., which runs concession stands at 13 Major League Baseball stadiums now uses corn and sunflower oils at concession kitchens including New York's Shea Stadium.
d) Many major league baseball players munch sunflower seeds for energy during games.
2. The price of sunflower oil, used in margarine and mayonnaise, is trading close to an eight-year high of $800 a ton.
3. The world needs growing supplies of sunflower seeds from Argentina to avoid a global shortage. Argentina is the world's second- largest exporter of the oil after the Ukraine.
4. Global sunflower-seed oil production may decline 6 percent this year to 10.5 million tons, as producers of other edible oils derived from soybeans, palms and rapeseeds increase production to meet new demand for biofuels.
5. Sunflower oil is a better source of monounsaturated oil, along with corn oil and soybean oil, according to the American Heart Association. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can lower cholesterol levels.

REVENUE STRATEGY - BANK OF COMMUNICATIONS
1. Bank of Communications Ltd., part owned by HSBC Holdings Plc, wants to transform into a financial supermarket whose offerings include securities, trust products and insurance to lessen its dependence on lending, where competition from overseas is heating up.
2 It plans to buy 85 percent of Hubei International Trust & Investment Co for 1.22 billion yuan ($159 million) and rename the firm Bank of Communications International Trust & Investment Co.

3. It wants to enter into brokerage and insurance operations with partner HSBC.
4. It plans to open branches in Frankfurt and Macau later this year.
5. It is looking for takeover targets. The bank's capital adequacy ratio, almost twice the regulatory minimum at above 15 percent, may give it flexibility to grow through acquisitions.
When the competition gets too hot in one area, spread out into others.
