Access improves the overall quality of life
Without a market to sell their baskets, the weavers of Rwanda lived an impoverished life
Because of the Access provided by Macys.com, FedEx and Fair Winds Trading, traditional hand crafted baskets can be brought to markets worldwide– With Sales topping $1.5M (US) by
2007, more than 2,500 weavers now earn nearly twice the national average income in Rwanda

8 Stakeholder Research Analysis April 20, 2023Access Teaching Module
Access creates opportunities and solves problems in the marketplace
FedEx uses Access to provide a solution for a customer.
– chumby : a device that looks like a touchscreen iPod crossed with a leather-clad beanbag. It flashes Facebook updates, Internet radio playlists and just about any digitized information.
– The devices are manufactured in China and shipped via FedEx—from Shenzhen, China to Hong Kong to Anchorage to home. People can watch via FedEx tracking number their order in transit. Devices are made to order.
– Chumby owns no factory, no warehouse and no supply chain services. They depend on facilities and services in China and shipping from FedEx.
9 Stakeholder Research Analysis
Access creates opportunities and solves problems in the marketplace
Greater Access allows FedEx to expand into new markets.– The greater accessibility of China to the rest
of the world Our Guangzhou, China hub = connectivity to
some 400+ cities on mainland China. The Pearl River Delta, in which our hub is
located, = major artery to European and North American consumers.
– NAFTA enabled FedEx to expand its services into Canada and Mexico and we are still building on that.
Last year, we added domestic service within Mexico.
In Canada, we launched our FedEx SmartPost service, which delivers high-volumes of low-weight packages to residences.
