DEVELOPING GOOD BUSINESS SENSE
The three companies that I choose for this project was Burger King, Barnes & Noble, and McDonalds. I observed how the employees do their tasks. I will discuss the main kinds of OMM costs companies have and how does this affect their OMM operations.

They also offer the largest in-stock selection of in-print book titles for fast, easy, secure ordering and delivery on the internet. To reduce plant cost they lease their buildings, rather than own them. Barnes & Noble OMM has developed an IT system.

They offer fast and free delivery when you order $25 or more of eligible items to cut delivery costs. They rely on how quickly it can ship its books and other products to customers. To further speed up delivery, they outsource by using UPS. The growth of the Internet has been a major source of revenue for
