ange of household and electronic goods for some years. One year ago, it began using new suppliers from the country of Slabak, where labour is very cheap, for many of its household goods. In 20X4, Jungle Co also became a major provider of ‘cloud computing’ services, investing heavily in cloud technology. These services provide customers with a way of storing and accessing data and programs over the internet rather than on their computers’ hard drives.

All Jungle Co customers have the option to sign up for the company’s ‘Gold’ membership service, which provides next day delivery on all orders, in return for an annual service fee of $40. In September 20X5, Jungle Co formed its own logistics company and took over the delivery of all of its parcels, instead of using the services of international delivery companies.

Over the last year, there has been worldwide growth in the electronic goods market of 20%. Average growth rates and gross profit margins for cloud computing service providers have been 50% and 80% respectively in the last year. Jungle Co’s prices have remained stable year on year for all sectors of its business, with price competitiveness being crucial to its continuing success as the leading global electronic retailer.

When I first met Nina, I disliked her at once. She was wearing skintight pedal pushers, a flashy, floppy top, and sneakers with no socks - bizarrely inappropriate even at our very informal company. Soon, Nina was doggedly pumping me for information about the new department I was

running, where she hoped to get a permanent job. Not a chance, I thought. Not if I have anything

to say about it However, I didn’t Within a few days she was‘trying out’，for me. I gave her a moderately difficult, uninteresting, and unimportant project that I didn’t need for months. It took that long for her successor to put in order the mess she had made out of ft Although I couldn’t have prediction exactly what Nina would do，in three minutes I had assessed her as someone who could not be relied on to get a job done.

We may decide in a minute whether it is someone’s nature to be warm or cold, friendly or hostile, anxious or calm, happy or troubled. Unconsciously, we often ask and quickly answer certain questions: Will I enjoy talking to him at this party？ Will she make an interesting friend？ Will he/she make a good boss / sales manager / secretary for me？ If we get to know the person better, we may change our minds. But

we may not have the chance.

From Nina’s inappropriate dress and aggressive behavior. toward me, I’d decided she was pushy. stupid and had poor judgment. I also had a lot of vague impressions I couldn’t explain. It was as if a warning bell went off in my head. Its message: this person was not to be trusted; her behavior. would be unpredictable; she was motivated by a peculiar agenda of her own that I would never understand.

I was using a combination of observation, inference and intuition.
