The ARA is concerned about the issue
of software piracy and the effects it has
on small retailers who unsuspectingly
purchase counterfeit items. Out of this
concern, we asked Microsoft to submit
an article that spells out the problems
associated with pirated software and
what can be done to avoid it. We hope
you find it useful.

THE RATE AT WHICH CONSUMER TRENDS COME AND GO IS RAPIDLY ACCELERATING AND THE QUESTION ON
EVERYONE’S MIND IS – HOW TO KEEP UP? TODAY’S HIT BECOMES A RELIC IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE AND
DISCERNING CONSUMERS RESPOND TO TRENDS WITH THE SAME SWIFTNESS. A RELATIVELY NEW
PHENOMENON TO AUSTRALIA, POP-UP STORES, MAY BE THE WAY SOME ENTERPRISING ENTREPRENEURS
ARE MANAGING TO KEEP PACE.

In most parts of Australia, access to fresh and affordable produce is a given. In a number of remote communities in the Northern Territory, Outback Queensland and the northern parts of Western Australia, items such as fresh fruit,vegetables, dairy products and meat have been overpriced, of poor quality or simply not available at all.

Independently-owned businesses have been taking an unfair rap for the last few years. It seems that they are all failing or about to fail. According to ‘common knowledge' we are told they can't compete with the bigs who are owned and operated by publicly traded corporations. As the story goes, the smalls can't buy merchandise as advantageously, they aren't as professionally managed, they can't get as good a deal on leases or interest rates, they are not technologically up to date and on and on. In short, there are only a few survivors and their days are numbered. It is true that many small stores have closed up and a lot of those have failed. But at the same time, many large retailers have also failed.
