QUESTION 2
Three types of benchmarking that are crucial for FamilyMart Co Ltd are:
1. Internal Benchmarking
For example, FamilyMart can compare the performance metrics, such as sales per
square foot, customer satisfaction scores, or operational efficiency, between different stores.
By identifying high-performing stores and analysing their practices, the company can
implement those strategies across other stores to improve overall performance.
2. Competitive Benchmarking
FamilyMart can compare various performance metrics, such as market share, sales
growth, profitability, customer retention, and product offerings, with those of its competitors
such as 7eleven and MyNews. This analysis provides insights into where FamilyMart needs
to improve or differentiate itself to remain competitive in the market
3. Non-competitive Benchmarking
FamilyMart can compare its digital innovation efforts to those of businesses like Amazon
or Starbucks that are known for using cutting-edge technology. FamilyMart can improve its
online presence, put digital solutions in place, and offer customers a seamless omnichannel
experience by researching their digital strategies

2.2 THREE TYPES OF RATIOS
1. Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratios measure FamilyMart's ability to generate profits relative to revenue, assets,
and equity. They help assess operational effectiveness, cost management, and pricing
strategies. Monitoring these ratios enables the company to identify areas for improvement,
such as cost control and pricing optimization, to increase profitability.
For example, declining gross profit margins may prompt contract reviews or pricing
adjustments, while low Return On Equity (ROE) suggests the need for improved asset
utilization and debt reduction for shareholder value enhancement. Profitability ratios guide
FamilyMart in maximizing profits and ensuring financial success.
2. Liquidity Ratios
FamilyMart uses liquidity ratios like the current ratio and quick ratio to evaluate its capacity
to pay short-term debts. These ratios assist the business in assessing its liquidity position
and determining whether it has sufficient funds to support ongoing operations and make
supplier payments.
FamilyMart can manage working capital well, prevent cash flow problems, and take
advantage of growth opportunities by maintaining healthy liquidity ratios. When a company
has a low quick ratio, for instance, it may be prompted to optimise inventory levels and cash
conversion cycles.
Conversely, a high current ratio may indicate a strong ability to cover short-term
obligations. Liquidity ratios are essential for upholding FamilyMart financial stability and
meeting its operational demands.
3. Risk Ratios
Companies frequently use the debt-to-equity ratio as a risk ratio to evaluate their financial
risk. It is calculated by dividing the total debt by shareholders' equity and represents the ratio
of debt to equity financing. The risk ratio assists FamilyMart in assessing its risk exposure
and making defensible capital structure decisions.
A higher ratio might signify a higher risk profile, while a lower ratio suggests a more
conservative capital structure with lower financial risk. When evaluating risk and making
strategic decisions, FamilyMart should compare its ratio with industry benchmarks and take
other financial factors into account.

Overall, using these ratios enables FamilyMart to monitor and evaluate its financial
performance from various perspectives. By understanding its profitability, liquidity, and
efficiency, the company can make informed decisions, implement strategies to enhance
performance, and achieve long-term success. These ratios also help FamilyMart identify
areas for improvement, optimize resource allocation, and maintain financial stability,
ultimately contributing to the organization's growth and profitability.

2. .Comparability: Financial performance metrics allow for easy comparison with industry
benchmarks and competitors. This helps in understanding how well the organization is
performing in relation to its peers and identifying areas of improvement.
3. Investor Confidence: Financial metrics are often used by investors to assess the potential
for a return on their investment. Strong financial performance can increase investor
confidence and attract additional investment.
1. Limited Scope: Financial performance metrics provide a narrow view of the organization's
overall performance. They may not capture critical non-financial factors that contribute to
long-term success, such as customer satisfaction, employee engagement, and
innovation.
2. Short-Term Focus: Financial metrics often emphasize short-term results and may
encourage management to prioritize short-term gains over long-term sustainability. This
focus on immediate financial performance could hinder investments in research and
development or employee training, which are crucial for future growth.

NON- FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
2. Lack of Standardization: Unlike financial metrics, which have established standards and
frameworks, non-financial performance measurement lacks standardization. This can
make it challenging to compare and interpret results across organizations or industries.

QUESTION 4
Collectively, some of the techniques we could employ to gather pertinent information to gauge
the indication of choice are Key Indicators, also referred to as KPIs, are a group of measurable
statistics used to assess the overall long-term success of an organisation. KPIs in particular aid
in determining a company's strategic, financial, and operational accomplishments, particularly
when compared to those of rival companies in the same industry. With the help of the process,
we can pinpoint the precise indications that are essential for assessing their performance and
accomplishing their goals. These metrics could be anything that is pertinent, such as increases
in sales, customer satisfaction ratings, employee productivity, etc. The next step is Establish the
Data Requirements, The establishment of data needs sets the method for identifying, prioritising,
accurately formulating, and validating the the data needed to achieve business objectives. Once
the KPIs are defined, we can determines the data requirements necessary to measure these
indicators effectively. This involves specifying the type of data, frequency of collection, and level
of detail needed to generate meaningful insights.
Next, customer surveys are a potential source of data that we could obtain. Surveys can
be used to get information directly from clients. These polls can be taken in a variety of ways,
including online. The other option is loyalty programmes, which we can use to reward customers
and compile information on their preferences and spending patterns. We can understand
consumer behaviour, visit frequency, and spending habits by examining the data from these
programmes.
By using suitable data gathering techniques, such as automated systems, structured
surveys, or data integration procedures, we can ensure the correctness and dependability of the
data. To gain valuable insights from the gathered data, they may also employ tools and
techniques for data analysis. We can obtain thorough and useful information to support their
decision-making processes, increase operational efficiency, and boost customer happiness by
utilising these potential sources of data and utilising a variety of data collection techniques.
