Taking a bit of a battering
Article Abstract:
Harry Ramsden's is a fish and chip restaurant operator which has been hit by a rise in the price of fish due to changes brought about by El Nino. The company's brand name is strong, though there are only 34 restaurants world wide. The compant owns four of these with the remainder being JVs involving franchisees. Hong Kong and Singapore operations could be affected by Asia's economic problems. The operation in Melbourne, Australia, has yet to make a profit, and this loss will lead to static profits for the company in 1998, according to Greig Middleton.

Probing the potential or seriously taking the arts less seriously
Article Abstract:
A marketing research focusing on arts non-attenders was conducted. Results show that non-attenders cite distance problem as the main reason why they do not attend or participate in arts activities. While research may focus on non-patrons, researchers must also remember that determining the needs of patrons may be as important. Potential attenders, on the other hand, can be reached out more easily through the use of informative leaflets and posters carrying lucid motivational messages.
