The Dialectics of Discourse
Discourse and social practices Critical Discourse Analysis (henceforth, CDA) is based upon a view of semiosis as an irreducible element of all material social processes (Williams 1977). We can see social life as interconnected networks of social practices of diverse sorts (economic, political, cultural, family etc). The reason for centering the concept of 'social practice' is that it allows an oscillation between the perspective of social structure and the perspective of social action and agency – both necessary perspectives in social research and analysis (Chouliaraki & Fairclough 1999). By 'social practice' I mean a relatively stabilised form of social activity (examples would be classroom teaching, television news, family meals, medical consultations). Every practice is an articulation of diverse social elements within a relatively stable configuration, always including discourse. Let us say that every practice includes the following elements: Activities Subjects, and their social relations Instruments Objects Time and place Forms of consciousness Values Discourse These elements are dialectically related (Harvey 1996). That is to say, they are different elements but not discrete, fully separate, elements. There is a sense in which each 'internalizes' the others without being reducible to them. So for instance social relations, social identities, cultural values and consciousness are in part semiotic, but that does not mean that we theorize and research social relations for instance in the same way that we theorize and research language – they have distinct properties, and researching them gives rise to distinct disciplines. (Though it is possible and desirable to work across disciplines in a 'transdisciplinary' way – see Fairclough 2000.) CDA is analysis of the dialectical relationships between discourse (including language but also other forms of semiosis, e.g. body language or visual images) and other elements of social practices. Its particular concern (in my own approach) is with the radical changes that are taking place in contemporary social life, with how discourse figures within processes of change, and with shifts in the relationship between semiosis and other social elements within networks of practices. We cannot take the role of discourse in social practices for granted, it has to be established through analysis. And discourse may be more or less important and salient in one practice or set of practices than in another, and may change in importance over time.
in which doctors play down their authority. Discourses are diverse representations of social life which are inherently positioned – differently positioned social actors 'see' and represent social life in different ways. They 'recontextualize' other practices (Bernstein 1990. which is put at risk by what happens in actual interactions. so too is part of governing a country. or at more local level. Discourse in the representation and self-representation of social practices constitutes discourses (note the difference between 'discourse' as an abstract noun. Laclau & Mouffe 1985) – a particular social structuring of semiotic difference may become hegemonic. and different social actors will represent them differently according to how they are positioned within the practice. but rather an open system. but hegemony will always be contested to a greater or lesser extent. as well as ('reflexive') representations of their own practice. but there are also various other ways. discourse as part of ways of being constitutes styles – for instance the styles of business managers. part of doing a job (for instance. discourse figures in representations. in hegemonic struggle. Third. politics. in the course of their activity within the practice. they incorporate them into their own practice. and 'discourse(s)' as a count noun). of producing social life. Finally. The dominant way probably still maintains social distance between doctors and patients. and the authority of the doctor over the way interaction proceeds. in the semiotic mode. the emergent neo-liberal global order referred to above. it figures as a part of the social activity within a practice. political and other forms of interview. the social order of education in a particular society at a particular time. there may be a dominant way to conduct a doctor-patient consultation in Britain. For instance. . The discourse/semiotic aspect of a social order is what we can call an order of discourse. The political concept of 'hegemony' can usefully be used in analyzing orders of discourse (Fairclough 1992. First. One aspect of this ordering is dominance: some ways of making meaning are dominant or mainstream in a particular order of discourse. become part of the legitimizing common sense which sustains relations of domination. It is the way in which diverse genres and discourses and styles are networked together. Second. Genres are diverse ways of acting. including reflexive self-construction – representations enter and shape social processes and practices. Chouliaraki & Fairclough 1999) – that is. and social science. medicine. For instance.2 Discourse figures in broadly three ways in social practices. Social practices networked in a particular way constitute a social order – for instance. the lives of poor and disadvantaged people are represented through different discourses in the social practices of government. others are marginal. which may be adopted or developed to a greater or lesser extent in opposition to the dominant way. Social actors within any practice produce representations of other practices. but there are others ways which are more 'democratic'. or political leaders. Discourse as part of social activity constitutes genres. different discourses. and book reviews. Representation is a process of social construction of practices. and through different discourses within each of these practices corresponding to different positions of social actors. or oppositional. For instance. meetings in various types of organisation. being a shop assistant) is using language in a particular way. An order of discourse is not a closed or rigid system. in the constitution of identities – for instance the identity of a political leader such as Tony Blair in the UK is partly a semiotically constituted way of being. An order of discourse is a social structuring of semiotic difference – a particular social ordering of relationships amongst different ways of making meaning. discourse figures in ways of being. Examples are: everyday conversation. ie different discourse and genres and styles. or 'alternative'.
technology) have long been significant factors in economic and social change. machinery. Such enactments include materialisations of discourses – economic discourses become materialised for instance in the instruments of economic production. 'Taylorism' as a production and management system depended upon changes in the ways of being. They are different. subjects. etc) and the 'software' (management systems. forms of consciousness. but what is being pointed to is a dramatic increase in their significance. objects. In terms of the concept of social practice. to act and think and talk and see themselves in terms of new discourses. Consider for instance new management discourses which imagine management systems based upon 'teamwork'. they imagine possible social practices and networks of social practices – possible syntheses of activities. and possibly material enactments in new spaces (e. seminar rooms) for team activities.3 The dialectics of discourse I said above that the relationship between discourse and other elements of social practices is a dialectical relationship – discourse internalises and is internalised by other elements without the different elements being reducible to each other. ways of managing organisations. people coming to 'own' discourses. Such specifically discoursal enactments are embedded within their enactment as new ways of acting and interacting in production processes. social relations etc can become real activities. of workers (Gramsci 1971). They become enacted discoursally as new genres. subjects. as well as imaginaries – representations of how things might or could or should be. including the 'hardware' (plant. new identities. etc). The knowledges of the knowledge-economy and knowledge-society are imaginaries n this sense – projections of possible states of affairs. spacetimes (Harvey 1996). It is a commonplace that new economic and social formations depend upon new subjects – for instance. This suggests a qualitative change in economies and societies such that economic and social processes are knowledge-driven – change comes about. One of the mysteries of the dialectics of discourse is the process in which what begins as selfconscious rhetorical deployment becomes 'ownership' – how people become . Inculcation is a complex process. social relations. and operationalisation of knowledges in economic and social processes. to position themselves inside them. the question that arises is the ways in which and the conditions under which processes of internalisation take place. values. A stage towards inculcation is rhetorical deployment: people may learn new discourses and use them for certain purposes while at the same time self-consciously keeping a distance from them. at an increasingly rapid pace. Discourses include representations of how things are and have been. Discourses as imaginaries may also come to inculcated as new ways of being. If we think of the dialectics of discourse in historical terms. Of course knowledge (science. social relations etc. instruments. The process of 'changing the subject' can be thought of in terms of the inculcation of new discourses – Taylorism would be an example. Inculcation is a matter of. and probably less secure than enactment. The relevance of these ideas here is that 'knowledge-driven' amounts to 'discourse-driven': knowledges are generated and circulate as discourses. Take the concept of a 'knowledge economy' and 'knowledge society'. 'possible worlds'. subjects. Such enactments are also in part themselves discoursal/semiotic: discourses become enacted as genres. for instance genres for team meetings.g. through the generation. These imaginaries may be enacted as actual (networks of) practices – imagined activities. but not discrete. the identities. relatively non-hiearchical. in terms of processes of social change. networked. and the process through which discourses become operationalised in economies and societies is precisely the dialectics of discourse. circulation. in the current jargon.
gestures. What this amounts to is that ways of (inter)acting and ways of being (including the discourse aspects. the dialectics of discourse in particular cases. and social.g.uoc. postures. Moreover. The dialectical process does not end with enactment and inculcation. including movements between the material and the non-material. including various categories of experts (e. and these interpretations and representations shape and reshape what they do. people's activities are constantly being interpreted and represented by others. Capitalism is being restructured and re-scaled on the basis of important new technologies. Where social constructionism becomes problematic is where it disregards the relative solidity and permanence of social entities. of the circumstances which condition whether and to what degree social entities are resistant to new discourses. including a new genre of 'appraisal interview').4 unconsciously positioned within a discourse. case by case. and the constraints upon. There is nothing inevitable about the dialectics of discourse as I have described it. yet never be fully inculcated. a dialectic which entails movements across diverse social elements. and movements within discourse between discourses. which may in turn be enacted and inculcated. and their resistance to change. new modes of . they also interpret and represent to themselves and each other what they do. ways of moving. It may be enacted. For instance. In using a dialectical theory of discourse in social research. It is a commonplace in contemporary social science that social entities (institutions. Examples abound. and so forth. genres and styles. "The capitalist mode of production is historically distinctive not only for its crisistendencies but also for its capacities to periodically renew the bases of its economic expansion and. Just such a renewal is occurring at present after the crisis of postwar accumulation based on the dominance of Atlantic Fordism. Inculcation also has its material aspects: discourses are dialectically inculcate not only in styles. people not only act and interact within networks of social practices. A new discourse may come into an institution or organisation without being enacted or inculcated. social agents etc) are or have been constituted through social processes. I shall now discuss this view of the dialectics of discourse with respect to language in new capitalism. which may contribute the production of new imaginaries. Even powerful discourses such as the new discourses of management may meet levels of resistance which result in them being neither enacted nor inculcated to any degree. ways of using language. yet arguably the extent of inculcation is very limited – most academics do not 'own' these management discourses. as I have done above: social entities are in some sense effects of discourses. That is. political.

It has been embraced in most anglophone societies to replace the discredited mixed economies and universal welfare states of postwar regimes based on an institutionalized compromise between capital and labour. the rise of regional economies.and has resulted in the disorientation and disarming of economic. With rare but important exceptions.g. the network economy. and Latin America. have been enrolled in managing and promoting the insertion of their respective economic spaces into the emerging new world order. flexibility. It is not the impetus to increasing international economic integration that is the problem but the particular form in which this is being imposed. space-time compression. the particular consequences (e. It has also produced a new imperialism. Buzzwords in this regard include: the information economy. turbo capitalism. And it is evident in neo-liberal policy adjustments in the more corporatist and étatiste regimes of Continental Europe. It has also led to an increasing division between rich and poor. This has reinforced economic and extra-economic pressures to restructure and rescale on terms dictated by the allegedly impersonal forces of the market. Governments on different scales and of quite varied political complexions now take it as a mere fact of life (though a 'fact' produced in part by inter-governmental agreements) that all must bow to the emerging logic of a globalizing knowledge-driven economy. and re-integration into the global economy. East Asia. Responses to this emerging institutional and operational logic vary but their dominant. increasing economic insecurity and stress even for the 'new middle' classes. This in turn has contributed to a closure of public debate and a weakening of democracy. the learning economy. Neo-liberalism has been imposed on the post-socialist economies as the (allegedly) best means of rapid system transformation.g. sometimes with disastrous consequences (e. It has led to radical attacks on universal social welfare as a cost of international production and the reduction of the protections that welfare states provided for people against the effects of markets.backed by international financial and industrial interests elsewhere and supported by the British state . where international financial agencies under the tutelage of the USA and its rich allies indiscriminately impose restructuring on less fortunate countries. This is a political project for the re-structuring and re-scaling of social relations in accord with the demands of an unrestrained global capitalism (Bourdieu 1998)." Language in new capitalism I suggested earlier that the idea of new capitalism as a 'knowledge-based' or 'knowledge-driven' socio-economic order implies that it is also 'discourse-driven'. in terms of unequal distribution of wealth) which are being made to follow. government without governance. form in the anglophone world is neoliberalism. entrepreneurial cities.

national and local. regional. 'exclusion' and so forth). we need to analyse texts and interactions to show how some of the effects which Bourdieu & Wacquant identify are brought off (eg making the socio-economic transformations of new capitalism and the policies of governments to facilitate them seem inevitable. 'flexibility'. It is not enough to characterise the 'new planetary vulgate' as a list of words. but working with the sort of dialectical theory of discourse I have sketched out above. which 'is endowed with the performative power to bring into being the very realities it claims to describe'. recontextualised in different locales. ie not only a matter of the entry of a discourse into new domains. For instance. representing desires as facts. and the ultimately unpredictable outcomes of this process. But as well as indicating the significance of language in these socio-economic tansformations.6 suggesting that language may have a more significant role in contemporary socioeconomic changes than it has had in the past. 'governance'. If we think of the restructuring and rescaling which Jessop refers to as changes in the networking of social practices. Bourdieu & Wacquant's paper shows that social research needs the contribution of discourse analysts. 'employability'. discourse analysis has an important contribution to make to research on the transformations of capitalism. The significance of language in these transformations has not gone unnoticed by social researchers. local media) in countries across the world to discourses which are globally disseminated through organisations like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. restructuring and rescaling of orders of discourse. they are also a restructuring and rescaling of discourse. Incorporating Jessop's account of the transformation of capitalism into a dialectical theory of discourse provides a theoretical framework for researching the global penetrative power of the 'new planetary vulgate' which Bourdieu & Wacquant allude to. A prime example is the way in which the discourse of management has colonised public institutions and organisations such as universities – though we need to add at once that this process is a colonisation/appropriation dialectic. It is also needed to research what Bourdieu & Wacquant call the 'performative power' of the 'new planetary vulgate'. as well as its limits. See also Iedema 1999. a vocabulary. That is. its power to 'bring into being the very realities it describes'. but the diverse ways in which it is received. The restructuring of orders of discourse is a matter of shifting relations. small-scale industry. appropriated. . between the discourse elements of different (networks of) social practices. which they characterise as a vocabulary ('globalization'. changes in the networking. If this is so. Bourdieu & Wacquant's account of the effectivity of neoliberal discourse exceeds the capacity of their sociological research methods. Bourdieu & Wacquant (2001) for instance point to a 'new planetary vulgate'. such as the study by Salskov-Iversen et al (2000) of the contrasting colonisation/appropriation of the new 'public management' discourse by local authorities in Britain and Mexico. Let us take these in turn. it is also the sort of theorisation of the dialectics of discourse I have sketched out above. representing the imaginaries of interested policies as the way the world actually is). and inculcated in ways of being (including styles)? Researching this crucial issue requires detailed investigation of organisational and institutional change on a comparative basis. But it is not only text and interactional analysis that discourse analysts can bring to social research on the new capitalism. the neo-liberal political project of removing obstacles to the new economic order is discourse-driven. the enhanced and accelerated permeability of local social practices (local government. How does this discourse come to enacted in ways of acting and interacting (including genres). The rescaling of orders of discourse is a matter of changes in the networking of the discourse elements of social practices on different scales of social organisation – global.

land, measuring 400 square meters, the counsel for the Delhi
Wakf Board told a bench of Justice G S Sistani.
The court, which is hearing a contempt petition filed by
the Jangpura Residents Welfare Association (JRWA) against DDA
for not re-claiming its land after demolishing the mosque, has
posted the matter for further hearing on August 4.
The Wakf Board said DDA has demanded Rs 91 lakh for the
plot, which is on the higher side.
Earlier, DDA, which razed the mosque to protect itself
from being prosecuted for contempt, said it was willing to
offer an alternative plot for re-construction of the mosque
for an amicable settlement of the dispute.
Justice Sistani had asked DDA to reclaim its land by
constructing a boundary wall on the site where the illegal
mosque was razed in pursuance of the Delhi High Court`s order.
The court, however, had allowed 10 members of the
community to offer `namaz` for two months at the site till a
solution was arrived at by the parties concerned.
"DDA will complete the construction of boundary wall (at
the site where illegal mosque was demolished) and leave a gate
of 2.5 feet to allow 10 persons of the community, whose names
would be furnished to DDA and police, to offer `namaz` for a
period of two months...," Justice Sistani had said.
On January 12, DDA demolished the structure and later
sought dropping of the contempt proceedings in the High Court
after "an unqualified apology" for its failure to reclaim the
land earlier.

LJWorld.com weblogs The KUsports.com Ratings
Kevin Young edges out Travis Releford for top honors
1. Kevin Young: The senior was Kansas' spark plug in the second half, lifting the team's energy with his hustle and also his up-and-under, fast-break dunk with 14:15 left. Young led KU with 14 points on 7-for-9 shooting, adding four rebounds, two steals and no turnovers in 24 minutes. He also showed increased range on his jump shot, as Tech was the second team in a row to sag off him defensively.
2. Travis Releford: After not posting a steal in four straight games, Releford led KU with three steals against Tech. Not only that, he allowed only one three-pointer to Tech's Dusty Hannahs, who entered as the Red Raiders' only real three-point threat. Releford was great in transition, scoring 12 points on 4-for-5 shooting while also making all four of his free throws. He also had three rebounds, an assist and no turnovers.
3. Jeff Withey: The big man rebounded much better in the second half, grabbing five of his seven caroms after the break. His aggressiveness also was rewarded on the offensive end, as he earned 10 free throw attempts (making eight) while attempting just three field goals. Withey's final line was 12 points, seven rebounds and one block with two turnovers in 31 minutes.
4. Ben McLemore: McLemore once again struggled to free himself for shots while also settling for some out-of-rhythm jumpers. He scored well in transition, though, and made it to the line eight times. The freshman posted 10 points on 2-for-7 field-goal shooting (0-for-4 from three) with four rebounds, two assists, two blocks, a steal and turnover.
5. Naadir Tharpe: He made two difficult threes for his only six points, but both were crucial shots that helped KU keep a comfortable lead. In the first half, KU looked better offensively with him at the point, and after playing 19 minutes Saturday, he now has played between 15 and 20 minutes in each of KU's last eight contests. Tharpe finished 2-for-5 from the floor with an assist and a steal to go with two turnovers. He also appeared to work hard this game to pressure his man defensively.
6. Elijah Johnson: Another high turnover game for Johnson, who continued his recent stretch of rough games. With his four-turnover performance Saturday, the senior now has 15 turnovers in his last three games. Johnson played better in the second half, ending with five points on 2-for-6 shooting (1-for-3 from three) with four assists to go with his four giveaways in 35 minutes.
7. Jamari Traylor: The freshman has a knack for getting steals from the forward spot, and that continued Saturday, as he grabbed two steals in his 10 minutes. He missed both of his field goals but added three rebounds without turning it over.
8. Perry Ellis: He has to lead KU in layups that go around the rim before spinning out. Ellis went 0-for-3 from the floor and 1-for-2 from the free throw line to finish with one point. He also had two rebounds and a steal in 13 minutes.
9. Justin Wesley: In his first action since breaking his finger last month, Wesley played two minutes in garbage time.
10. Andrew White III: Missed a three in two minutes.
11. Rio Adams: Had a foul in two minutes.

Richard Giragosian, Georgian planning flaws led to campaign failure:
Although the relatively brief duration of open hostilities now seem to have ended, the campaign has significantly decimated Georgian military capabilities and has raised new questions over the viability of both Georgia's long-time aspirations for NATO membership and its hopes to retake its two break-away regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as well as spurring a sharp deterioration in Russian-U.S. relations.
Although the initial 7 August Georgian offensive to retake the break-away region of South Ossetia was triggered by a series of provocations, ranging from the shootdown of several Israeli-produced Georgian unmanned arial vehicles (UAVs) to an influx of new Russian peacekeepers and equipment in May, the Georgian military strategy was significantly flawed from the start, based on an underestimation of the Russian response and an inadequate threat assessment.

SAN MATEO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/31/13 -- Selectica, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTC), provider of software that accelerates sales cycles and streamlines contract processes, today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2013, ended December 31, 2012.
"We are very pleased with our top line results for the third quarter of fiscal 2013," said Jason Stern, President and CEO of Selectica. "Both total and recurring revenue continued to climb, up 36% and 35% respectively over the third quarter of fiscal 2012. We've also completed more transactions -- and generated nearly as much revenue -- in the first three quarters of this year than we did in all four quarters of last year."
Financial highlights
Selectica delivered the following financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2013:
- Recurring revenue: Selectica grew recurring revenue from $2.3 million in Q3 FY 2012 to $3.1 million in Q3 FY2013, a year-over-year increase of 35%. Recurring revenue in Q2 FY2013 was $3.0 million.
- Billings: Billings for Q3 FY2013 were $4.2 million, compared to $4.5 million in Q3 FY2012, a 7% decrease year-over-year. Billings were $3.8 million in Q2 FY2013. The company defines billings, a non-GAAP financial measure, as revenue recognized during the period plus the change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period. Please refer to the financial tables below for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to GAAP.
- Deferred revenue: In Q3 FY2013, the company had deferred revenue of $5.5 million, a 22% year-over-year increase from Q3 FY2012, when deferred revenue was $4.5 million. In Q2 FY2013, deferred revenue was $5.8 million.
Business highlights
Business highlights from Q3 FY2013 include:
- New investment in headcount and partnerships: To meet the continued growth in demand for its contract management and guided selling solutions, Selectica further expanded its team in Q3 FY2013. By the end of the quarter, its U.S. workforce had increased by over 20% compared to the previous year, and its overseas team had doubled. In Q3 FY2013, the company also cemented new partnerships with several systems integrators and other solutions providers that further increase its capacity to get customers up and running on Selectica solutions quickly and successfully.
- Key new executive team hires: In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, Selectica announced the addition of Mike Mothersbaugh as its Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales and David Humphrey as its Vice President of Professional Services. With their previous experience, Mothersbaugh most recently at salesforce.com and Humphrey at Accruent, these new members of the executive team bring additional expertise in sales, delivery, and customer adoption, which are critical to the company's ongoing success as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution provider.
- Golden Bridge Award honor: Selectica Guided Selling won Silver in the "Best New Product Or Service -- SaaS or Cloud Computing" category at the 4th annual Golden Bridge Awards held in October, reflecting a continuing trend of interest in configure-price-quote (CPQ) solutions in the market. The Golden Bridge Awards are an industry and peer recognition program honoring the best companies worldwide.
Additional results
Total revenues for Q3 FY2013 were $4.5 million, compared to $3.3 million for Q3 FY2012, a year-over-year increase of 36%. Total revenues were $4.7 million in Q2 FY2013.
Net loss for Q3 FY2013 was $1.1 million, or $(0.37) per share, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million, or $(0.52) per share in Q3 FY2012, and a net loss of $0.9 million, or $(0.32) per share, in Q2 FY2013.

In today's uber-connected, consumer-centric, cloud-enabled, insights-driven, multi-device, global world, the focus of solutions has shifted from the product that is sold to the person who is buying the product or service. Enterprises have rebranded their business around the consumers of their products. The buyer is the person and the focus is not on the offering. The person is connected through multiple devices, wearables, at home, on the road, and in multiple locations, sometimes simultaneously...

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

If only maths lessons could be like this every day! Pupils from Glencraig Integrated Primary School got a very special maths class when David Meade, known to many as the "Mentalist" took time out from his busy schedule to show just how great maths can be.
During a special assembly, David amazed both pupils and teachers alike with his "maths magic tricks" including predicting numbers picked at random by some enthusiastic helpers.
David's visit to the County Down school followed the introduction by the school of Mathletics, an online resource, designed to promote a love of maths in the pupils.
School principal Mrs Shaunagh McKirgan explained the school had trialled Mathletics last year and following "such positive feedback from the pupils" it was decided to introduce it across the school from September.
David is a keen supporter of the Integrated Education Fund and said it was a great opportunity to see, at first hand, the work of an integrated school.
Speaking during his visit, David said: "I felt it was important to come and show my support for integrated education and to help raise awareness of the great work being done in integrated schools."
Mrs McKirgan said they were delighted that David had come along and that he "had truly impressed the pupils with his amazing number tricks".
She said one of the great things about the visit was that "the children will take away from today that maths is cool".
The visit generated lots of media interest with press photographers capturing the special day.
David's mind-boggling skills have brought him his own BBC TV series and when he is not performing his mentalist magic, is also a lecturer in international business.

Bimbo expects volumes to pick up in US in second half
Bakery giant Grupo Bimbo, after seeing underlying sales volumes in the US come under pressure during the first six months of the year, has predicted improvement in the second half.
Mexico-based Bimbo has seen its sales come under pressure domestically as local consumers react to a recent sales tax on certain foods. However, the company said volumes improved sequentially in the second quarter. In the US, the signs are core volumes worsened between April and the end of June.
Bimbo yesterday (23 July) posted a 7.8% rise in second-quarter sales from its new combined operations in the US and Canada. The new division houses Canada Bread, the Canadian bakery business Bimbo acquired from Maple Leaf Foods in May and the deal boosted its top-line performance.
However, Bimbo said organic net sales slipped 4.1%. Deal-making had an impact here, too, with Bimbo's disposal of former Sara Lee assets in California last year no longer in the numbers.
Nevertheless, the sale only accounted for 2% of the drop. The extreme weather earlier in the year had hit sales in the first quarter but, speaking to analysts after the results, Bimbo's managements outlined the challenges in the US bakery market.
"The commercial bread category remains challenging, with the re-entry of the [former] Hostess bread brands. Our own branded business remains stable but private-label volumes, which we supply, is down 7%, with softness across sever of these customers," Daniel Servitje, Bimbo's chairman and CEO, said.
Last autumn, Bimbo's main US rival Flowers Foods started to re-introduce the former Hostess Brands bread labels it acquired from the defunct baker.
Fred Penny, president of Bimbo's US arm, said competition had increased in a stagnant US bread market. However, he told analysts Bimbo was satisfied with the performance of its portfolio and expected sales volumes to pick up in the second half of 2014.
"In terms of the second quarter, even the first half, we're satisfied with how our branded bread business has performed from a share and volume stand-point, given the more competitive market dynamics," Penny said. "We've got the former Hostess brands back in the market. To the extent that the market has a flattish-to-a-bit-down overall volume performance, that makes the market more competitive. From our stand-point, we're very comfortable with how our brands have responded."
More broadly, Penny said he was expecting volume trends to pick up across Bimbo's US business.
"We're looking for continued strong performance from our breakfast segment, which is a big piece of our portfolio, improvements in the back half of the year in our sweet goods business and in our premium bread segment and we're fully cycling the California divestiture. I'd look for improving volume trends," he told analysts.
One area where Bimbo appears to need to do more work in the US is in the growing gluten-free and organic bread segments. At present, less than 5% of sales are in these areas.
Penny insisted Bimbo was looking at building that side of its business further. "Gluten-free and organic are relatively small parts of our portfolio today but clearly there are consumer dynamics in both of those cases that suggest that there is ongoing growth there so we are focusing on expand in both of those categories."
