Climate & Topology Analysis Woolworth Limited - Australia (home country) - Host Country: Norway 1) Does climate affect factor conditions natural resource availability
Climate & topology analysis for Woolworths Limited:
Australia (home country); Norway (host country)
As a supermarket, Woolworths Limited is continually facing the challenges posed by the availability of natural resources. A cool season can prevent a crop from properly flourishing; the price of petrol can cause transportation costs to escalate. High fuel costs, because they have such a spiraling impact upon all aspects of the transportation of consumer goods, such as imported produce, can be particularly damaging, given the extent to which this can increase the costs of goods and services. This does not only hurt the average Australian consumer, but also can negatively impact Australia's food exports, causing them to rise in price due to transportation costs.
In Australia, climate may have more of an impact upon the economy than other nations. "Australia's 50 largest food and beverage corporations produce almost three-quarters of the domestic industry's revenue. Supermarkets and grocery outlets continue to capture the majority of food sales in Australia, with around 60 per cent of the value of total food and liquor...

Australia is noted for its fine seafood, and also the influence of the Pacific Rim upon its food tastes. While the warmth of Australia has fostered an 'outdoorsy' culture, in the proposed host nation of Denmark, the nation's relatively temperate climate has likewise created a culture where awareness of the environmental impact of raising food is important to consumers (Weather in Denmark, 2011, Go Scandinavia).
Question 2
Australia's topography has had a significant impact upon its development as a nation. "Australia has 10 per cent of the world's biodiversity and a great number of its native plants, animals and birds exist nowhere else in the world" (Snapshot, 2011, About Australia). Much of Australia's major commercial centers are located near the coastline, however, and there is a strong divide between the cultures and incomes of rural and urban Australians.

As a result of the aforementioned factors, problems have developed that need to be overcome. The best way to describe this situation is by comparing the increase of the rate of infectious disease to the fluctuation in temperatures; a connection needs be established between the two. Being able to control the diseases once they have already infested areas that are not accustomed to dealing with them is the major problem
