Utilizing two zipcodes where the stores are located, 15237 for a Sheetz in Pittsburgh, and 19104 for a Wawa in Philadelphia, these we entered into a zip code lookup in order to discover the demographic of the area. After pursing the results, there were some distinct differences between the two areas and perhaps insight to who really are the supporting groups of the brands. Pittsburgh’s area is made of up more Middle Age families or upscale individuals, households with commonly $100K in income, mainly 1 or 2 person who are married, with children, or other, mostly older than 65 years, and predominantly White.

Undaunted by the already-difficult task of getting a nation-wide distribution network up and running, the retail giant decided to also implement a new inventory tracking system not even fully rolled out in their American locations at the time (CITATION). The system, called SAP, was supposed to make the entire network more seamless and efficient, with the ultimate goal of implementing it throughout Target’s North American operations. Unfortunately, Target failed in acquiring personnel with any real knowledge of how to implement the system.

While Target attempted to combat this by hiring an outside consulting firm to assist in the process, they failed to train employees to a functional extent (CITATION).…
Home depot was drastically affected by the housing market crash and their numbers showed it; a few things can explain their numbers such as operating leverage, margin of safety, and cost behavior (Edmunds, Tsay, & Olds, 2011). The company announced that they suffered a 3% percent decrease in revenue in the first half of 2007 compared to the same time -frame in 2006; in addition to the 3% decreases in revenue they also suffered a 21% decline in profits. The 3% decline in revenue contributed to the decrease in profit in terms of operating leverage on profitability as revenues earned have to first cover that companies fixed cost and once the fixed costs are covered any additional revenue is pure profit. Comparing the numbers to the previous year the 3% decline in revenue lead to a 21% decrease in profit because they did not have as much revenue remaining after the fix costs were covered. Margin of safety is the difference in sales goal and breaking even; falling outside of the difference can result in a loss in profits.…
