Jak wynika z założeń planowanych zmian już niedługo korzystanie z 5% podatku dochodowego przez programistów może zostać ograniczone. Programista, który będzie chciał korzystać z IP BOX będzie musiał zatrudniać przynajmniej trzech pracowników na umowę o pracę przez 300 dni w skali roku. Możliwe będzie zatrudnienie 3 osób na umowę zlecenia, ale pod warunkiem, że miesięczne wynagrodzenie będzie wynosiło 3-krotność minimalnego wynagrodzenia (ok. 24 500 zł miesięcznie). Zmiany mogą zacząć obowiązywać już w 2025 roku, oznacza to, że wielu programistów prowadzących jednoosobowe działalności gospodarcze nie będzie mogło już korzystać z obniżonej 5% stawki podatku dochodowego.
It may be over of IP BOX (5%) in 2025.

Jeśli informatyk świadczy usługi związane z oprogramowaniem, nie ma prawa do 8,5 proc. zryczałtowanego podatku. Musi płacić 12 proc.
This article (which can be viewed using a paywall remover) shows that even if someone does not deal directly with code, the court may think otherwise:
Fiskus i NSA nie pozwalają na niższą stawkę ryczałtu W sprawie, która doszła do NSA, spór ze skarbówką zaczął się od wniosku o interpretację informatyka prowadzącego jednoosobową działalność. Napisał, że zajmuje się projektowaniem i rozwojem technologii informatycznych dla sieci i systemów komputerowych lub ich poszczególnych składowych/komponentów. Świadczy też usługi pomocy technicznej. Szczegółowo opisał wszystkie czynności. Podkreślił też, że do zakresu jego obowiązków nie należy tworzenie oprogramowania. Dlatego uważa, że ma prawo do niższej stawki ryczałtu. Fiskus miał jednak inne zdanie. Uznał, że informatyk powinien płacić 12 proc. ryczałt, ponieważ „okoliczność, że do zakresu obowiązków podatnika nie należy tworzenie oprogramowania komputerowego, nie jest wystarczającą przesłanką do uznania braku związku świadczonych usług z oprogramowaniem”.
Informatyk zaskarżył interpretację, przegrał jednak zarówno w pierwszej, jak i drugiej instancji. Wojewódzki Sąd Administracyjny w Gliwicach zauważył, że z wniosku o interpretację wynika, iż świadczone usługi są związane z rozwojem systemu SAP. Ten system jest oprogramowaniem wspomagającym prowadzenie przedsiębiorstwa. Opisane usługi są więc niewątpliwie związane z oprogramowaniem – uznał gliwicki WSA. Za szerokim rozumieniem pojęcia „usługi związane z oprogramowaniem” opowiedział się też NSA. Podkreślił, że nie chodzi tylko o programowanie, ale również inne czynności. Także te, które wykonuje przedsiębiorca.
Sąd wymienił wszystkie obowiązki informatyka i po prostu stwierdził, że są to usługi związane z oprogramowaniem. Po NSA spodziewałbym się głębszej analizy i dokładnego określenia, które z wymienionych czynności spełniają to kryterium. Miejmy nadzieję, że kolejne orzeczenia będą wnikliwsze. I po głębszych rozważaniach może okaże się, że to jednak podatnicy mają rację – podsumowuje Piotr Sekulski

They are useful for other ptirposes, besides Essay-writing and Speaking. For instance, for Addresses,for Bills, and for Memoranda.
Unsurprising given that card systems were used for accounting in the early 1900s, but not many manuals cover the use of a card index for addresses (aka Rolodex) of for bills or memoranda.
-
At first, also, it might be thought that the Cardswould be inconvenient to use, but the personal ex-perience of thousands shows that, at any rate forbusiness-purposes, exactly the reverse is true
Miles' uses the ubiquity of card systems (even at the writing in 1899, prior to publication) within business as evidence for bolstering their use in writing and composition.
(Recall that he's also writing in the UK.)

I wonder if there's a copy anywhere of the Macey business system book that they sold to explain how to use it?
reply to u/atomicnotes at https://old.reddit.com/r/Zettelkasten/comments/1fa0240/early_1900s_3_x_5_inch_card_index_filing_cabinet/
This is an excellent question. I strongly suspect you won't find a booklet or book from Macey after 1906 that does this, though there may have been something before that.
You'll notice that on page 9, the 1906 Macy Catalog takes what I consider to be a pot shot at their Shaw-Walker competition in the section "Not a kindergarten". Shaw-Walker was selling not just furniture, but a more specific system, as well as a magazine. Since there's something to be learned for current knowledge managers and zettel-casters in the historical experience of these companies and the systems and methods they were selling, I'll quote that section here (substitute references to enterprise and business for yourself):
Not a Kindergarten
Every successful enterprise knows its own requirements best, and develops the best system for its own purpose. We manufacture business machinery. Our appliances and supplies are boiled down to a few parts, and simple forms, and will accommodate any system in any business. The office boy can understand and use them. If we undertook to teach the whole world how to run its business, we would have to saddle the cost on those who buy for what we tried to teach those who do not.
System in business is desirable, but no system can make a business successful, where the management is deficient. So called ‘Systems’ often result in useless expense and disappointment. We retain what experience proves useful and practical; so far as possible, eliminating all complicated and useless features. This explains how we can employ the best workmanship and material, combined with pleasing designs, and sell our goods with profit at lower prices than the inferior articles offered by others.
There may have been some booklets at some point, but I've not run across them for any of the major manufacturers of the time. (I've only loosely searched this area.) Some of the general principles were covered in various articles in System Magazine which was published by Shaw-Walker, a filing cabinet manufacturer, in the early century. System Magazine was sold to McGraw-Hill which renamed it Business Week, but it is now better known as Bloomberg Business Week. In the December 1906 issue of System, W. K. Kellogg, the President of the Toasted Corn Flake Company, is quoted touting the invaluable nature of the Shaw-Walker filing system at a time when his company was using 640 drawers of their system.
To some extent the smaller discrete "system" was really a part of a broader range of information and knowledge of business and competition. This can be seen in the fact that System Magazine still exists, just under an alternate name, along with a much broader area of business schools and business systems. We've just "forgotten" (or take for granted) the art of the smaller systems and processes which seemed new in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Other companies had "systems" they sold or taught, much like Tiago Forte teaches his "Second Brain" method or Nick Milo teaches "Linking Your Thinking". However, most of them were really in the business of selling goods: furniture, filing cabinets, desks, index cards, card dividers, etc. and this was where the real money was to be found at the time.
A similar example in the space is the Memindex System booklet that came with their box and index cards. The broad principles of the system can be described in a few paragraphs so that the average person can read it and modify it to their particular needs or use case. The company never felt the need to write an entire book along the lines of David Allen's Getting Things Done or Ryder Carroll's Bullet Journal Method. Allen and Carroll are selling systems by way of books or classes. Admittedly, Carroll does have custom printed notebooks for using his methods, but I suspect these are a tiny fraction of the overall notebook sales for those who use his method.
Here's evidence of a correspondence course from the Library Bureau some time after 1927, which was when they'd been purchased by Remington Rand: https://www.ebay.com/itm/335534180049 . Library Bureau had an easier time as their system was standardized for libraries, though they did have efforts to cater to business concerns the way Shaw-Walker, The Macey Company, Globe-Wernicke and others certainly did.
I think the best examples in broader book form from that time period are Kaiser's two books which still stand up pretty well today for those creating knowledge management systems, zettelkasten, commonplace books, getting things done/productivity systems, second brains, etc.

Advanced Typing - Shortcuts (1943)
Advanced Typing: Shortcuts. 16 mm. Vol. MN-1512c. United States Navy Training Film, 1943. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUJfCfqgsX0.
Correct typing posture: fingers curved<br /> arms sloping up<br /> light fast strokes<br /> steady rhythm
fast continuous motion of return lever<br /> using backing sheet (aka temping sheet ??)
Shortcuts:<br /> mise en place for office supplies (she doesn't use this phrasing though) - greater efficiency - cuts down on searching
tabulators can be helpful. There are two types:<br /> - automatic - handset
Use tabs for paragraphs, dating letters, columns of numbers, and letter closings.
To clear all tab stops, put carriage to left, hold tab clear key and move the carriage across. (Usually applies to Royal, Remington, Underwood, and Electromatic).
On LC Smith and Woodstock machines sometimes have a tab clear lever on the back.
Decimal tabulator keys help to align a variety of numbers around a decimal point.
Always have a few tabs set to prevent a flying carriage which can be hard on the machine.
When using carbon sheets which are slightly longer than the paper size, cut off a small triangle at the top left hand side. This makes it easier for one to separate the carbons from the copies by holding the top left with one hand and pulling the carbons out from the bottom of the stack.
To align multiple sheets of paper for carbon copies, use a folded sheet at the top to taco the pages into the machine. Remove the folded sheet once the carbon pack is rolled forward.
Paper bail rollers should be set to split the pages into thirds (for two rollers).
Remington noiseless machines have a pressure indicator on the front of the machine (usually above the keyboard) which can be used when using thick carbon packs that may cause the ribbon guide to stick or bind.
Only erase when the carriage is fully left or right to prevent eraser crumbs from falling into the machine.
Use a soft eraser on carbon copies. Use and insert slips of paper behind the carbons and allowing them to stick out the sides, erasing from back sheet to front so as not to allow the eraser to mark your carbon copies. For the front sheet, use a shield and ink eraser and erase with a horizontal motion. After erasing, easily pull out the inserted sheets.
When typing a correction, tap the key lightly two or three times rather than hard once.
When in a rush and it's necessary to add a word (on double spacing), underline the last letter of the prior word and type a slash (/). Then move the typing line up and type the insertion above the prior line. This creates an "arrow" of sorts for the inserted word.
Details for inserting extra letters in misspelled words using half-spacing machines. (Underwoods and Electromatics don't have this function.)
Light pencil marks at the bottom of the sheet can help to indicate the coming bottom of the sheet.
Putting up the card holders (fingers) on Underwoods and Royals. They help to hold the card and improve print quality and reduce noise.
Card holders can cause markings on carbon packs if they're not lowered.
Trick for quickly writing postcards in succession: Disengage the ratchet using the platen spring release (or variable platen switch) Type the address on the front of the card. When done give the platen a quick practiced spin. The postcard with "jump" up and stop at the paper table and be in position for rolling in the opposite direction to write the message on the back of the card! When done a faster spin of the platen will shoot the card over the back of the typewriter where it can land in a box to collect all the postcards which were written in such a manner. <br /> timestamp 23:22
Time saving methods for addressing envelopes:
-
Front seat principle. Insert the envelope in the usual way and type out the address. When done, turn the envelope down through the machine with the right hand. With the left hand, place the next envelope between the top of the first envelope and the front of the platen. Feed the first envelope back through the machine (in reverse) and the second will be rolled in to place for typing. Continue in this fashion until finished. All the finished envelopes will stack up in the back at the paper table.
-
Chain feeding. The first envelope is inserted and rolled partway into the machine. A second envelope is inserted between the platen and the second envelope (behind the platen). Turn the first envelope to the writing line and type the address. Take out the first envelope and insert the next the same way as before.
-
Uses paper bail. Do the first envelope in the usual way. Spin it out of the machine up and behind the paper bail into a box behind the typewriter.
For quickly doing labels or small cards:<br /> Create a small zig-zag fold into a piece of paper to create a pocket slot which can be scotch taped on either side. This template paper can then be inserted so that the pocket is visible above the writing line, but the paper below it is still in the platen. The label or card can be placed into the pocket and the platen reversed to feed the label or card in backwards to the desired typing line. Using a v-groove or hole in the typing line can create a pencil line to serve as a guide for inserting many labels at the same place so that the typing lines up between labels.
Some offices had special platens for holding cards like this.
Pockets like this can also be used to hold the page to add additional lines at the bottom of pages. Deeper pockets may need to be used for doing this with carbon packs whose carbons are longer than the pages.
Alternately one can do something similar by creating a inverted u-shaped set of slits into an index card. to hold such labels.
When in the midst of a page and needing to do another piece urgently, roll back the letter until about 2 inches from the top, and then place in the new page and one between each of the carbons. Then roll forward to do the short message as necessary. Turn back to the insertion position to remove the copies and then continue with the first letter where you left off.
For drawing horizontal lines on typewriter paper, push the carriage to the extreme left and place the pencil or pen at the edge of the card guide and the scale. Then move the carriage to the right to effect the line. For vertical lines, put the carriage at the desired space and place the pencil at the card guide and scale and move the platen up/down as necessary.

or because he is now drawing nearer to that other place, he has a clearer view of these things; suspicions and alarms crowd thickly upon him, and he begins to reflect and consider what wrongs he has done to others. And when he finds that the sum of his transgressions is great he will many a time like a child start up in his sleep for fear, and he is filled with dark forebodings. But to him who is conscious of no sin, sweet hope, as Pindar charmingly says, is the kind nurse of his age: ‘Hope,’ he says, ‘cherishes the soul of him who lives in justice and holiness, and is the nurse of his age and the companion of his journey;—hope which is mightiest to sway the restless soul of man.’
thoughts: - does wisdom exist because death exists? do we really only learn from our mistakes because it makes life smoother down the road? and that a smoother life is more desirable because there's a limit to our existence? - why should unfinished businesses haunt us in our last days?

[Narrator]: The Cluttered Desk, Index Card,file folders, the in-out basket, the calculator.These are the tools of the office professional's past.Since the dawn of the computer age, better machines have always meant bigger and more powerful.But the software could not accommodate the needs of office professionals who are responsiblefor the look, shape and feel of tomorrow.
In 1983, at the dawn of the personal computer age, Apple Inc. in promotional film entitled "Lisa Soul Of A New Machine" touted their new computer, a 16-bit dual disk drive "personal office system", as something that would do away with "the cluttered desk, index cards, file folders, the in-out basket, [and] the calculator." (00:01)
Some of these things moved to the realm of the computer including the messy desk(top) now giving people two messy desks, a real one and a virtual one. The database-like structure of the card index also moved over, but the subjective index and its search power were substituted for a lower level concordance search.
30 years on, for most people, the value of the database idea behind the humble "index card" has long since disappeared and so it seems here as if it's "just" another piece of cluttery paper.
Appreciate the rosy framing of the juxtaposition of "past" and "future" jumping over the idea of the here and now which includes the thing they're selling, the Lisa computer. They're selling the idealized and unclear future even though it's really just today.

Automobile and Carriage Builders' Journal, October 1908. Duringthe last five or six years the carriage builder has been adopting,perhaps slowly, and often unwillingly, the card system in his office.,owing to the extra detail the motor business has brought with it.It will have probably been introduced by a new partner who hasbrought new money into the business, when extra funds were necessaryto cope with the new state of affairs. The motor manufacturer usesit instinctively, for he brings with him,
as a rule, the law, order, and precision of an engineer's office.
There's an interesting dichotomy presented here about the tech forwardness of the automobile industry in 1908 versus the tech reticence of the carriage builders in regard to adopting card indexes with respect to their related (though different) industries.
Me (sarcastically):<br /> "Oh, those backwards carriage builders will get with the 'program' any day now..."

card system are indebted tothese catalogues for their information. But all these publications areprimarily concerned with the particular cabinet or file of the firm inwhose interest they are published.
Variations of card index systems were published in booklet form by filing cabinet manufacturers as a means of selling not only their cabinets, but their systems for using them was common in the early 1900s. Examples of magazine advertisements in System Magazine back this up. It is also specifically highlighted in a review of J. Kaiser's book "The Card System at the Office" from Ironmonger (1909-10-03) which appreciates a more fully fleshed out version of a card index system in book form without mention of specific manufacturing firms.

When were bookmark-like "flags" introduced in America? (Certainly prior to 1908, based on this reference.)

Yet it is doubtful whether since theintroduction of the typewriter there has been an invention so beneficialto modern business as the card-index system.

Early 20th century mail merge using a card index!
-
Elaborate library classifications were either inapplicable or much 74too complicated and therefore unmanageable. Their applicationto business was out of the question. Something simple, easy toimderstand and easy to handle was required. This was foundin the numerical arrangement. The numerical classification inspite of its arbitrary character will always have this advantagethat it ensures accuracy with the least trouble, and this is stillmore the case where large quantities are handled. It was quitenatural therefore that this should be preferred for business purposes.As there are many sets of things arranged numerically, it isnecessary to distinguish one set from the other, so as to know towhat set a given number refers. This is done by affixing dis-tinguishing initials to the numbers, each class being assigned somecharacteristic initial of its own.
In describing classification schemes for card index-based business uses, Julius Kaiser indicated in 1908 that "elaborate library classifications were either inapplicable or much too complicated and therefore unmanageable." This is in part because of the standardization of the Dewey Decimal System, which may have provided efficiencies for library systems, but proved too rigid for the idiosyncrasies of a variety of businesses. Instead he describes an alpha-numeric system in which numbers provide simple means of finding while the initial alphabetic codes assign specific office-related classes (correspondence, press cuttings, catalogs, etc.) to the indexed materials.

The development of the card system and itsmore universal adoption within recent years isundoubtedly due in the mail to the development in modernbusiness and factory organisation ; it may be regarded as anoffspring of manufacture in quantities. (Massenfabrikation, Gross-industrie.) The recognised principle in manufacture in quantities ismaximum of output with minimum of labour. The means to attainthis end is specialisation, which in its turn yields greater precisionand accuracy as it^ result. All this is equally applicable to thecard system, and the last factor, greater precision and accuracy,is one of its most conspicuous claims.
Julius Kaiser contemporaneously posits that mass manufacture and maximizing efficiency (greater output for minimum input) are the primary drivers of card index system use in the early 20th century. These also improve both precision and accuracy in handling information which allow for better company or factory operation, which would have been rising concerns for businesses and manufacturing operations at the rise of scientific management during the time period.

Volume 2 will be almost entirelydevoted to the work of indexing in the sense of analysing literatureand will go more fully into the question of classification and themanagement of guide cards. The present volume is confined asfar as practicable to the use of plain cards. Tabulated cards,methods of tabulating and the application of tabulated cards topractical business will be dealt with in volume 3, " The CardSystem at the Factory."
companion volumes treated the topics of "analysing literature" and the application of tabulated cards to practical business "at the Factory".

Imagine an old, heavy suitcase whose well-worn handles are hanging by a few threads. Thehandle is “Trust the Process” or “Story Is King”—a pithy statement that seems, on the face ofit, to stand for so much more. The suitcase represents all that has gone into the formation ofthe phrase: the experience, the deep wisdom, the truths that emerge from struggle. Too often,we grab the handle and—without realizing it—walk off without the suitcase. What’s more, wedon’t even think about what we’ve left behind. After all, the handle is so much easier to carryaround than the suitcase.
Ed Catmull analogizes the idea of pithy business statements and aphorisms as old, heavy suitcases and their handles. It's easy to grab onto the handle and walk of only with it, particularly when the weight and inconvenience of the suitcase and its actual contents are no longer attached. One needs to make sure that their comfortable old suitcase handle is still attached to the case and the valuable, hard-won wisdom of the contents inside.
-
“Story Is King” differentiated us, we thought, not just because we said it but also becausewe believed it and acted accordingly. As I talked to more people in the industry and learnedmore about other studios, however, I found that everyone repeated some version of thismantra—it didn’t matter whether they were making a genuine work of art or complete dreck,they all said that story is the most important thing. This was a reminder of something thatsounds obvious but isn’t: Merely repeating ideas means nothing. You must act—and think—accordingly. Parroting the phrase “Story Is King” at Pixar didn’t help the inexperienceddirectors on Toy Story 2 one bit. What I’m saying is that this guiding principle, while simplystated and easily repeated, didn’t protect us from things going wrong. In fact, it gave us falseassurance that things would be okay.
Having a good catch phrase for guidance can become a useless trap if it becomes repeated so frequently that it loses meaning. Guiding principles need to be revisited, actively worked on, and ensconced into daily activities and culture.
examples: - Google and "don't be evil" - Pixar (and many others) and "story is king" (cross Reference Ed Catmull in Creativity, Inc.) - Pixar and "trust the process" (ibid) #
-
I read many such books as I set about trying to become a better, more effective manager.Most, I found, trafficked in a kind of simplicity that seemed harmful in that it offered falsereassurance. These books were stocked with catchy phrases like “Dare to fail!” or “Followpeople and people will follow you!” or “Focus, focus, focus!” (This last one was a particularfavorite piece of nonadvice. When people hear it, they nod their heads in agreement as if agreat truth has been presented, not realizing that they’ve been diverted from addressing thefar harder problem: deciding what it is that they should be focusing on. There is nothing inthis advice that gives you any idea how to figure out where the focus should be, or how toapply your energy to it. It ends up being advice that doesn’t mean anything.) These sloganswere offered as conclusions—as wisdom—and they may have been, I suppose. But none ofthem gave me any clue as to what to do or what I should focus on.
Curious that he might write this in a business book on creativity which is highly likely to fall trap to the same simple advice or catchy phrases.
Does he ultimately give his own clear cut advice that means something?
I'm reminded here of Dan Allosso's mention of the David Allen quote from Getting Things Done: "It is better to be wrong than to be vague."<br /> https://hypothes.is/a/yOFrNubcEe6AsafBDjDzBw
Are business books too often vague when it would be better for them to be wrong instead?

有人称奥乐齐是「上海打工人的食堂」,更夸张的是「命是奥乐齐给的」。
-
由于经常有优惠券、打折活动,奥乐齐商品性价比高。均价 20 多元一顿,不愁没的选择。
-
值得注意的是,在沪上活了三年,奥乐齐的对手画像,不是传统高端精品超市,而是盒马。
-
由此可知,ALDI 的家庭型客群,基本都能承受越过平均线的房价,消费力居中等偏上。
-
不同于 blt、Ole'、CITYSHOP 等国内外精品超市偏爱高端购物中心,奥乐齐偏爱大众化、中档小型 mall。

在发展初期阶段,奥乐齐主要定位于低收入阶层客群,因此在德国也被称为「廉价超市」。不过,后来随着市场扩张至国际市场,奥乐齐在英国、澳大利亚、中国等市场的门店都做出了主动调整,客群也扩大至了中等收入阶层客群。

这种“升档“策略在奥乐齐进入瑞士、英国等地区时也曾采用过,这两个地方的物价通常比德国高,一味低价容易给当地人留下“品质不好“的印象。所以,奥乐齐在进行全球扩张时,也曾因地制宜过,在价格和商品上做差异化调整。
-
精选零售模式的精髓在于把SKU控制的很低(通常在3000个以下),通过单个SKU的规模效应来摊薄成本,把价格打下来。奥乐齐在欧洲市场可以做到90%-95%左右的SKU商品均来自自有品牌(private label),从酸奶到零食,从葡萄酒到水果生鲜,均有常年合作的制造商,贴Aldi的标签。
-
感慨道,这个模式非常厉害,一定能成功,少量的SKU,很强的供应链,都是精选,单点做透,我们还在玩价格战,他们是在做定制。言语间流露一丝兴奋。

在中国市场,过去几年,奥乐齐围绕百年品牌的三大支柱原则:极具竞争力的价格,物超所值的品质和省心的购物体验,初步构建了一个本地化「社区平价超市」的样本。同时,一直低调、不动声色地布局供应链,让奥乐齐在新变化到来时,向国内消费者,亮相了一个更像德国 ALDI 的奥乐齐。截至 2023 年 12 月,奥乐齐在上海开出了 50 家门店,现有供应商中,已实现 80%以上本地化。这距离 2019 年 6 月,奥乐齐在上海开出中国首批线下店,不过 4 年半。显然,充分本土化供应链,是奥乐齐能在中国市场落地「高质」和「低价」的基础。
-
「卷」,已不足以形容眼下中国零售市场「折扣化」和「低价」变革的喧嚣潮流。应对新变化,「低价」成为国内众多电商平台、零售商超们的共识,ALDI 奥乐齐也成了行业内外最常被提及探讨的那个「好学生」。

1913 年成立的奥乐齐,被业内公认为「硬折扣鼻祖」。正是它首创了「强供应链管理+低成本运营」的硬折扣模式。目前已在全球 10 余个国家拥有超过 1 万家门店。2019 年起,它也进入到中国,入局参与中国零售战场。奥乐齐的力量,只举一个例子就能说明。全世界最大的零售巨头,有「价格屠夫」之称的沃尔玛,却因为德国有着奥乐齐的存在,被迫在 2006 年退出德国市场。不过,由于奥乐齐有不能接受外部采访的内部规定,因此市面上极少有系统分析奥乐齐的资料。此前中译出版社曾出版过一本《大道至简:德国零售巨头 ALDI 管理法》,由曾任奥乐齐北方公司董事总经理兼监事的迪特尔·布兰德斯及其儿子所写,几乎是市面上唯一一本系统介绍奥乐齐方法论的书籍。

通常情况下,国际零售品牌的自有品牌占比在 20%左右,而 ALDI 奥乐齐内却高达 90%,这样的高比例使得 ALDI 奥乐齐可以更好地对商品进行价格和质量上的管控。 像是 4L 饮用纯净水,在 ALDI 奥乐齐内售价为 6 元,比同类市场瓶装水农夫山泉、怡宝等便宜 35-40%。其他类商品在 ALDI 奥乐齐中也基本是比较亲民的价位。
-
如果你曾去过 ALDI 奥乐齐的线下门店,你会发现,尽管店铺面积不大,但你几乎可以一次性买齐所有你需要的商品,而这都归功于其强大的选品能力。 ALDI 奥乐齐的选品能力主要体现在两方面:自有品牌的保有率和 SKU 数量。 有这样一则数据统计,ALDI 奥乐齐里的商品有 90%以上都来自自有品牌,店铺中的 SKU 从最早期的 300 个到现在也不过在 1800 左右,但其单个 SKU 的年销售额是沃尔玛的 12 倍以上,足以可见其水准。

其实比宜德的问题,也是现在很多中国折扣店的病。对于硬折扣店而言,规模=效率=利润,没有规模,就不会有极致的效率。但现在很多折扣店在规模这一环上,靠的一是资本输血,二是加盟商入局。为此国内的折扣店,其贩卖的产品有两个。一个是货架上的产品,这是卖给消费者的。一个是街边的那个店,这是卖给加盟商的。
-
但很多人不知道,比宜德是奥乐齐的嫡亲弟子。比宜德的创始人 Philipp Spangenberg 曾在德国奥乐齐任高管,来中国之前曾在土耳其复制了一个本地版奥乐齐,后被奥乐齐收购。在土耳其的成功经验,让他萌生了来中国再造一家奥乐齐的想法。2016 年,Philipp Spangenberg 在上海开了第一家比宜德,经营模式一比一复刻德国「廉价超市」。

社区折扣连锁本质是精简 SKU、高比例自有商品、规模优势、低成本高效率运营带来的极致性价比。供应链效率低,就没法做到成本领先,保持稳定低价。
-
据首都经济贸易大学教授陈立平表示,参考日本经验看,未来中国实体店的机会将在「小商圈零售」和「折扣店」这两类业态中诞生。据上海连锁经营研究所研究发现,「在上海市场奥乐齐所在的区域里,中高端消费者去 COSTCO 和山姆会员店的频率在减少,次数在下降。」
-
根据奥乐奇方面的说法,预计 2022 年 27 家门店每家销售额为 2000 万元,总计超过 5 亿元。折算下来,按照平均每个门店面积 500 平米计算,单店年销售坪效约 4 万元/年,这在行业内居于很高水平。
-
奥乐齐上海目前线上到家订单比重已达到 30%。奥乐齐中国区主席陈有钢表示:到家业务是增量市场,但行业里存在一个「40%生死线」的论断。如果零售线上占比超过 40%,就意味着边际成本上升,对盈利反而是个挑战。
-
奥乐齐在中国开设线下门店之前,已经提前把国内商品供应链体系、全球进口贸易供应链全部搭建完毕了。奥乐齐的准备工作可谓十分充分。
-
奥乐齐「觊觎」中国市场已久,但行事谨慎。公司于 2015 年香港设立采购办事处,2017 年 3 月入驻天猫国际。当时,奥乐齐的海外旗舰店主打酒类、早餐、零食等非冷冻食品杂货,商品主要来自澳洲供应链。一方面,奥乐齐在 2001 年进入澳洲,积累了众多供应商资源;另一方面,中国消费者对澳洲商品需求和信任度较高。直至 2019 年 6 月,公司在上海开设第一家线下门店。
-
极致精选 SKU 的好处是,单品采购量大有利于做低采购价格、周转快、库存管理高效,供应商合作稳定。但也非常考验买手能力,及对消费需求的理解能力。在自有品牌方面,奥乐齐在中国的门店仍主要经营自有品牌,由供应商为其OEM贴牌。在奥乐齐中国门店,除了一线品牌之外,其余商品都采用自有品牌,奥乐齐的自有品牌商品占比超过 70%,这使得奥乐齐的商品具有一定的价格优势。奥乐齐的自有品牌商品并非简单以低价取胜,而是在同类商品中,以价格低于同类,品质与档次高于同类的商品开发策略,形成相比同类商品较大的高性价比优势。让消费者感觉不仅物美价廉,而且物超所值。
-
奥乐齐进入中国后,更强调一日三餐。这从奥乐齐经营的商品大类也可以得到印证,奥乐齐经营品类中,食品饮料有 7 个大类,为奥乐齐经营商品的主要品类。所以在一些行业人士看来,奥乐齐在上海的门店从品类特征来说,更像是食品超市,而不是生鲜超市或者综合标准超市。这正符合公司在中国市场设定的「社区食堂」定位。
-
奥乐齐根据在中国市场的目标客群定位,将自身定位为社区精品超市和社区食堂。奥乐齐中国区主席陈有钢表示,进入中国后,奥乐齐更强调一日三餐,满足年轻家庭和中青年家庭需求。「奥家厨房,社区食堂」——这是奥乐齐中国为「锁定」中产消费者而设定的「社区食堂」定位,以及想要做的顾客心智市场卡位。奥乐齐中国区主席陈有钢表示:「之所以提出社区食堂概念,把它提到比较高的高度,核心是中国市场由于外卖的发展,出现了『餐饮零售化』和『零售餐饮化』不可逆转的趋势」。陈有钢表示,在中国,餐饮可以在店里吃,又可以拿回家吃,已是「餐饮零售化」了,「零售如果不积极思考餐饮化路径的话,未来空间会越来越小」。而「社区最大的一个潜在需求就是怎么解决简单吃饭,同时又要吃好饭的问题」,在陈有钢看来,做热气腾腾的「社区食堂」,是满足消费者生活方式需求变化的关键所在。在商业发达的上海,超市和便利店无处不在,消费者为什么还要到奥乐齐来?陈有钢认为,「能体验到色香味,看到超市热柜里蒸汽的颜色、闻到味道,能引起购买的冲动,本身对消费者来说也是一种享受」。在陈有钢看来,一方面从消费者需求来说,社区食堂存在空白需求点;另一方面,奥乐齐能够通过有效的工业化、标准化做社区食堂,存在商业机会。
-
所以,在中国市场,ALDI 奥乐齐去除低端化标签,目标客群瞄准中国的中产阶级,试图打造一个「精品社区超市」及「社区食堂」。奥乐齐中国区主席陈有钢表示:自有品牌高比例,以及精选 SKU,仍然是奥乐齐最核心基因,但会因地制宜,在不同环境下表现出不同形式。
-
在德国本土等海外大部分市场,奥乐齐均定位为廉价超市,客群以中低收入阶层为主。但奥乐齐来到中国,业务模式根据中国市场的实际情况做出了主动调整。至于业务模式做出调整的原因,奥乐齐中国区主席陈有钢解释说,奥乐齐的特点是因地制宜,但低端不是奥乐齐的唯一标签。在他看来,中国的零售市场本身就充斥着「价格战」,在中国市场,价格没有最低只有更低,「作为一家比较系统化的、合规成本也比较高的外资企业,奥乐齐在中国市场比拼价格并不是最好的途径。」
-
德国北奥乐齐 Aldi Nord 前高级经理 Marc Houppermans 也认同这一评估。如今,他作为折扣零售咨询公司的执行合伙人为零售商提供咨询,其中包括在亚洲建立折扣机构。他表示:「中国的潜力非常大,仅在大上海地区,奥乐齐就可能有 500 至 600 家商店 。」

ALDI不销售大多数市场品牌的商品,认为这些品牌让顾客多支付不应该承担的品牌营销费用。ALDI 消除了品牌中间商这一增加成本的重要环节。没有中间商赚差价。为了应对这种情况,ALDI 与当地供应商合作,以更低的价格销售自有品牌,提供品质相近的商品,ALDI 门店货架上 90%的商品来自自有品牌。
-
当你认识到产品的本质以后,产品本身便没有那么多花样了。所以对于 ALDI 的 1000 多 SKU,并不是强行删减下去的,而是在 ALDI 眼里,商品的品项只有这些 SKU。
-
与仓储会员超市零售企业类似,ALDI 也采取精选 SKU 策略,其 SKU 只有 1100~1400 个左右,相比而言,美国的零售行业平均 SKU 为 14000 个左右,沃尔玛的 SKU 甚至超过 20000 个。ALDI 聚焦于食品杂货(50%)的同时辅以生鲜(36%)等高价格弹性的品类。
-
尽管在发展过程中,AIDI 经历过德国经济的起伏,但它始终坚守着「低价高质」的原则,力求让所有消费者获得物超所值的商品。据毕马威的一项调查数据显示,ALDI 商品的价格较一般超市便宜 20%~30%,个别商品较沃尔玛能便宜 50%还要多。根据中信证券研究,ALDI 商品较沃尔玛等超市具有明显价格优势(如下图所示)。
-
ALDI 在中国:2017 年在天猫开设旗舰店,2019 年在中国上海开设线下门店,目前在上海已经开设了 36 家线下门店。据报道, ALDI 计划在中国扩张提速,将继续开设数百家分店。
-
1966 年起,因为兄弟两人经营出现分歧,ALDI 开始拆分为完全独立的两部分——北方集团ALDI Nord和南方集团ALDI Sud,由哥哥卡尔和弟弟特奥分别经营。其中,北方集团主要负责西欧市场业务的拓展,涵盖比利时、丹麦、法国、荷兰、葡萄牙等国家,南方集团则专攻国际市场业务的拓展,澳大利亚、奥地利、瑞士、西班牙、英国、美国等地都是其目标所在。
-
ALDI 的目标是成为消费者社区内的便捷购物地。货物种类能满足生活必需品的供应,自有品牌占比超过 90%,商品质优价廉,主打高性价比,在国外被称为「穷人的廉价超市」。在德国,虽然 ALDI 属于廉价超市,但是无论穷人富人都对这家超市有很高的品牌忠诚度,开着豪车到阿尔迪排队购物是经常能看到的景象。事实上,ALDI早期主要定位于低收入阶层客群,后来随着市场扩张至国际市场,ALDI 在英国、澳大利亚、中国等市场的门店都做出了主动调整,客群也扩大至中低收入阶层客群。
-
根据知名机构德勤(Deloitte)发布的《2022 全球零售力量》研究报告,2022 年 ALDI 的零售额达到 1170 亿欧元,在全球排在第八名。公司没有进入资本市场,是非上市公司。

Chris, I read it some 40 years ago when as a school boy I began with my Zettelkasten journey. It is about the technique as well as the intellectuell framework behind it and was surely pointed to business aspects as well as running the civil service but also outspoken to the worker of the mind, the scientist and philosopher. Filing and indexing is crucial to all of these varied aspects of cultural life. But don't expect hitherto unknown magical practices to be revealed. It was commune practice then and you could find handbooks on indexing and filing in organisations also in America and England at that time. The new found way of personal knowlegde management just doesn't know about its predecessors with pen, ink, typewriter and other unbeliefable tricks.

The answers you seek are difficult ones. The internet isn't free, so someone somewhere along the chain will need to pay for the content. As consumers we pay for internet access, and may sometimes pay for premium content (news site subscriptions, Patreon, etc.) but usually the content that we consume is free to us. Instead, it's the ad services that are paying. The internet content being "free" to consumers can really be a great thing, and equalize the playing field for people of different means. But it does come with its issues.

- Why there hasn't been noticeable change in spite of all these progressive efforts is because we avoided questioning the fundamental assumption that maximizing returns to shareholders and gains to shareholder portfolios is good for people and planet.**** It turns out that it isn't. It's fundamentally bad for civilization and has played a major role in shaping today's polycrisis.

- Equity and bonds use to be equal to GDP in the 1950s.
- Now it's 5 times as much
- Financial assets extracts too much from common people
- Question: Families are swimming in debt. Who owns all this financial debt? ...The financial elites do.

Pedro Diaz, the company’s in-house maestro of typewriter repair, retired a few years ago after working with Anderson Business Technology for 35 years. But he still shows up when a customer brings in a vintage Smith-Corona, Olympia or Royal that’s in need of some TLC.

In the past seven years alone I’ve given more than 500 talks and interviews about regeneration, and I sense the same fear again and again in most leaders. A fear of fully embracing a regenerative transition because it means they need to let go of most of what they have been taught is good business and leadership. They need to surrender to a landscape that doesn’t have a fixed toolbox, process-plans, checklists and business models and it scares the shit out of most executives.

Crux - 1. Apple is not a company where general managers oversee managers; rather, it is a company where experts lead experts. The assumption is that it’s easier to train an expert to manage well than to train a manager to be an expert. 1. Whereas the fundamental principle of a conventional business unit structure is to align accountability and control, the fundamental principle of a functional organization is to align expertise and decision rights. 1. In a functional organization, individual and team reputations act as a control mechanism in placing bets. 1. So, that means if the camera team pitches an idea, but the same doesn't receive a good response from the users, for the next model the camera team's functionality will have a lower priority than suppose the touch team. 1. As is often the case with decentralized business units, managers were inclined to fight with one another, over transfer prices in particular. 1. Managers should be expertise in their fields. They should spend majority of their time either owning, learning or teaching, and less of delegating. Each piece they work on should be deeply thought of . 1. Squircle scenario. 1. Cross functional debates

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1942Dear Kitty,Bep stayed with us Friday evening. It was fun, but she didn’t sleepvery well because she’d drunk some wine. For the rest, there’snothing special to report. I had an awful headache yesterday andwent to bed early. Margot’s being exasperating again.This morning I began sorting out an index card le from theo ce, because it’d fallen over and gotten all mixed up. Before long Iwas going nuts. I asked Margot and Peter to help, but they were toolazy, so I put it away. I’m not crazy enough to do it all by myself!Anne Frank
In a diary entry dated Monday, November 2, 1942, Anne Frank in an entry in which she includes a post script about the "important news that [she's] probably going to get [her] period soon." she mentions spending some time sorting out an index card file. Presumably it had been used for business purposes as she mentions that she got it from the office. Given that it had "fallen over and gotten all mixed up", it presumably didn't use a card rod to hold the cards in. It must have been a fairly big task as she asked for help from two people and not getting it, she abandoned the task because, as she wrote: "I'm not crazy enough to do it all by myself!"

付费会员能买到差异化商品,是吸引入会、留存的根本动力。万德乾指出,中国零售业长期欠缺有竞争力的商品,原因在于研发能力不够,单个品类的品牌集中度不高,原料采购的便利性也不及跨国企业。生产制造水平能补上一定短板,但难以满足会员店用户的消费升级需求。 外资超市和电商抓住了最近一波消费升级的红利。山姆靠社交媒体上的网红食品采购指南一次次出圈,其总 SKU(最小库存单位)只有 4000 多个——而一般超市通常都有数万个——商品来自全球采购,「新奇特」带来的消费者互动性较好。 低价考验供应链能力,这也是业内公认的山姆会员店竞争壁垒之所在。一方面得益于门店数多带来的规模议价能力,批量直采配合包厢集运,进货和物流成本的压降能让利给终端;同时,也和采购团队专业度有关,比如对接酒庄直采的人员不少持有品酒师证书。 不能通过直采获得理想的价格或品质,则通过和品牌、供应商共创定制来实现,这考验采购的选品眼光。过去,超市通过 ODM(原始设计制造商)做自有品牌,主要目的是对供应商产品形成竞争制约,提升自身议价能力,因此主要限制在弱品牌、强品质的品类。万德乾认为,麦德龙、山姆、Costco 的自有品牌占比均在 20%至 30%,可视为超市自有品牌占比的警戒线,否则面临专业度不足。 在受关注的进口商品之外,山姆会员店的商品主要来自本地供应。张陈勇认为,供应链数十年积累带来稳固合作是山姆壁垒所在,「小红书及电商代购潮给山姆带来的短时大量流量,供应链也能接得住,没有出现爆品断货或品质下降的情况。」

The problem is that in rejecting the dogma, we too have created dogma. A dogma that shuts down our natural human inclination to explore the mysteries of life, of our own inner worlds and of our deep connection to nature and each other.

To achieve goals, raise the floor, FOCUS on removing bottlenecks. Also create constraints by Schwerpunkt (primary objective), contrary to common wisdom, constraint actually gives freedom, it prevents analysis paralysis.

Eat the frog. Do the most important thing(s) in the morning, before noon. The rest, in the evening, is acceleration.
-
Success is about delaying gratification and building momentum. Be okay with a big goal taking time. Just work towards it, focus on the process, rather than the goal.
Persistence and perseverance as well.
Perfection is a big limiter. Don't obsess with finding the perfect path before starting. Build the map while going. Of course, starting with a rough idea or sketch for a map is always good.

Advice doesn't matter as much as guidance, this way, not everyone needs to know about your goals. The fewer, the better. Those who do know, let them mentor you (also seek the correct mentors).

A vision statement provides a brief description of a company’s long-term goals. It’s typically ambitious and communicates how the company plans to make a difference in the world. Think of it as a roadmap for making decisions that align with your company’s philosophy and objectives. A good vision statement helps you: Inspire teams and keep them focused Connect with customers in niche markets Make smarter decisions Attract top talent
-
It doesn’t have a set length. You can craft a one-sentence statement or write a three-page document discussing the company’s future. The goal of a vision statement is to differentiate yourself from competitors and focus efforts on achieving your objectives.

-
A vision statement articulates where you aspire to be once you achieve your mission. Often, it describes where you want certain people or the world to be as a result of your mission. Vision statements convey a long-term goal, generally a time range of five to 10 years, or beyond. Your mission statement is essentially an action-oriented vision statement, declaring the who, what, and why of your retail business. Your mission statement can be the roadmap for your vision statement.
-
A mission statement is usually part of your business plan when you start a business. It identifies your company’s purpose and is a way to publicly share why your company exists. Crafting your mission statement helps you unify your business and avoid potential business mistakes by keeping you on track. Your mission statement should: State what your company does. You don’t need to be fancy, simply state whatever it is your retail business produces or provides. State how your company does what it does. This does not need to be a detailed description of how you operate your business. You can describe how your business works in more general terms and incorporate one or more of your core values. State why your company does what it does. Think about why you started your business in the first place—share your passion for starting your company.

One) Successful men realize that the most important decision in their life is the woman they choose, because outside of work, this is what they'll be spending most time on. The woman must understand the man's grand ambition, and support them with it. (Cf. Flow & The Intellectual Life as well). Women should be chosen on personality, not looks. Looks fade (attraction as well), personality "stays".
Two) Everyone deserves an opinion but not everyone deserves a say. Charlie Munger sums this up right: "I don't ever allow myself to have [express] an opinion about anything that I don't know the opponent side's argument better than they do." Or Marcus Aurelius, who says: "The opinion of ten thousand men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject." In short: Only state your opinion when you can back it up!; knowledge and experience. The same goes for judging opinion (and advice) from others.
Three) Successful people buy assets when the money is enough. Assets > Luxury. (See also: Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki). Only buy glamor and other "interests" once your assets are there to secure your financial success.
Four) Be pragmatic. Do what's practical, not what is "sexy". Notice inefficiencies and solve them. The entrepreneurial mindset.
Five) The morning sets the tone for the rest of the days. Time is subjective, waking up early doesn't matter as much as waking up later. It depends on the person. Someone who wakes up at 10am can be as successful as someone who wakes up at 6am. Instead, what defines success, is a highly effective morning routine.
Six) The less you talk, the more you listen. Talking less means less mistakes. In addition, the less you talk, the more people will listen when you do speak. It puts extra weight on your message. Listening means analysis and learning.
Seven) Pick the right opportunity at the right time. Pick the right vehicle. Do the right things in the right order! The advice "don't do what someone says, do what they do" is bullshit, as you can't do what someone is able to do after ten years of experience.
Eight) Discipline > Motivation. Motivation, like Dr. Sung says, fluctuates and is multifactorial dependent... When you are lead by motivation you will not be as productive. Don't rely on chance. Rely on what is stable.
Nine) Once a good career has been made, buy A1 assets and hold on to them to secure a financially successful future.
Ten) Just because you won, you are not a winner. Being a winner is a continuous process, it means always learning and reflecting as well as introspecting. Don't overvalue individual wins but do celebrate them when appropriate.
Eleven) Build good relationships with the banks early on. At times you need loans to fund certain ventures, when having a good relation with them, this will be significantly easier. Understand finance as early as possible. Read finance books.
Twelve) Keep the circle small. Acquintances can be many, but real close relationships should be kept small. Choose your friends wisely. "You become the average of the five people you spend most time with." Privacy is important. Only tell the most deep secrets to the Inner Circle, to avoid overcomplication.
Thirteen) Assume that everything is your fault. Responsibility. It leads to learning. It requires reflection and introspection. It leads to Dr. Benjamin Hardy's statement: "Nothing happens to you, everything happens for you."
Fourteen) Work like new money, but act like your old money. Combine the hunger of the new with the wisdom of the old.
Fifteen) Assume that you can't change the world, but slightly influence it. It prevents disappointments and gives a right mindset. Do everything (that has your ambition) with an insane drive. Aim to hit the stars. To become the best of the best.
Sixteen) Private victories lead to public victories. The solid maxim is the following: "The bigger the public victory, the more private victories went into it." Work in private. Social media doesn't need to known the struggle. Let your results talk for you. This is also why you should never compare yourself to others, but rather to your own past self.
Seventeen) After extreme experience, the most complicated task will look elegant and effortless. Unconscious competence.
