		<title>Ask an Expert - Benchmarks</title>
		<description>
		A benchmark is a point of reference for a measurement. The term originates from the chiselled horizontal marks that surveyors made into which an angle-iron could be placed to bracket (bench) a levelling rod, thus ensuring that the levelling rod can be repositioned in the exact same place in the future.
Use this category as a resource to better understand what benchmarking is and how it can be used in your analysis to improve your businesses performance.		</description>

		<item><title>Pharmacy Gross Margins 2011</title><description><![CDATA[Hi Medici,

I am a 4th year pharmacy student, currently participating in a business plan competition.

I just wanted to know the current industry average for Gross Profit for a community pharmacy. The information provided on your website (updated 2009) indicates an average of 32-33%. Is this value still current?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
