From the Paper:
"United Parcel Service has made dramatic enhancements to their technological operations over the past ten years. These advances have paid large dividends in the U.S. market and, in conjunction with the capital raised by the company's initial public offering in 1996, have enabled the company to significantly expand operations internationally. Despite great strides in electronic access globally (i.e. web, wireless technology, UPS OnLinea Advantage, & UPS OnLinea Worldlink), these services appear to be underutilized. Recently, UPS has been finding growth through geographic expansion. With delivery capabilities already in excess of 200 countries, this method will inevitably fail to offer additional growth. Therefore, the problem UPS is facing is the maturing of their previous growth model and a necessity to redefine or augment corporate strategy."
