<p>Businesses are being more and more influenced by changing forces like globalization, deregulation, convergence of industries, and it has been several years since a newcomer has appeared in almost every marketplace all around the word: e-commerce.

This new tool has enabled companies to display and sell goods and services cheaply to consumers and businesses around the world.

With the intense competition and increasing globalization in the financial markets, bank management must develop customer-oriented strategies in order to compete successfully in the competitive retail banking environment.

The farm-retail price spread is the difference between the retail price of a product and its farm value. It changes with changes in factor prices, the efficiency of providing services, and the quantity and quality of services embodied in the final product. A model was derived by Box-Cox transform base on the relative price spread mode for the U.S. pork industry. The new model analyses the determinant of margins more accurately. The results indicate the log of farm-retail price spread is significantly and positively related to increases in log of retail price and log of quantity of farm input.
