Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
The former Federal Express (FedEx) and United Parcel Service (UPS) have been perennial rivals and the leaders of their industry. Certainly there are other competitors - Airborne, DHL
and some others - but they are far away from being real threats to either FedEx or UPS. Both companies recently acquired others.
UPS acquired Mailboxes, Etc. in 2001 (Miller, 2003); FedEx acquired Kinkos in 2003 (Samson, 2004). Their cash flow statements reflect their large purchases, particularly FedExs high-priced one. FedEx
The companies both altered and cemented their points of focus with the acquisitions. UPS chose to concentrate on the consumer market; FedEx
continued to court business customers. At least one of the benefits of acquiring Kinkos was that FedEx could arrange to continue delivering businesses promotional materials to remote locations without
the need for physically transporting them from one place to another. As fuel prices continue to increase, the decision was one that was made at a highly beneficial point
in the companys history. FedEx Kinkos offers remote printing for businesses, by which the home office can cause brochures, fact sheets and other results of business printing to be
printed at a Kinkos location where the material is needed, saving the cost of shipping heavy boxes. Table 1. FedEx Cash
