    JC Penny case

    Founded in 1902, JC Penney is one of America’s leading retailers, operating more than 1,000 department stores throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, as well as offering products online and through catalogs. In January 2012, Johnson was recruited by J.C. Penney investors and left the United States’ second-most-valuable company, Apple, to join the J.C. Penney. He wanted a new challenge. CEO Ron Johnson introduced a plan to rebrand the department store J.C. Penney. The plan was involved and would completely restructure the department store as America knows it. Clear objectives were set. A plan was put into practice that would initiate a three-tiered pricing structure and remove all sales and promotions. A new logo was created. Stores were to be completely redesigned, and turned into 100 mini-stores within each J.C. Penney. Unfortunately, the plan was executed sloppily and J.C. Penney took a 25% loss in just one year. Ron Johnson was fired after only 17 months. J.C. Penney is now searching for a way to survive.…

    Nike Case

    Any company’s assets are either financed by its debt or by its equity. The Weighted Average Cost of Capital is the average costs of these sources of financing, each of which is weighted by its respective use in the given situation. By taking the weighted average, we can see how much interest the company has to pay for every dollar it finances. Basically, the WACC is the minimum required return that the company must earn to satisfy its creditors, owners, and other providers of capital, or they will invest in another company that has higher returns. In this case, I will first address the issues with Cohen’s calculation, and then analyze an new WACC to decide whether we should invest in Nike Inc.…

    Primark Case

    The fashion industry is criticized widely for not maintaining the ethical standards. From the use of animal fur, exploiting child labor, low wages. Promoting superficial image of women and racial discrimination, the fashion industry has caused its fair share of controversy and bad press. The complex thing about ethics is that it has different meaning for different individuals. Some might consider a particular issue extremely offensive and unethical while, for a different individual the same issue would not be unethical or offensive. It is a decision of an individual to consider and different people have different feeling about issues. For some wearing cloths made through child labor would not be a big deal but for another individual this would be a wrong act.…

    Denim Finishing Company Case

    Mrs. Kelsey Bowser using the ABC method decided to use the number of garments as the cost driver of the change-over costs. Nevertheless, I argue that this was not the best possible choice. I will try to defend my point using the following example. Let’s assume that Guess Who Jeans demands 600, not 500 garments per shipment. Although the number of garments changes, the total change-over costs would stay the same, because no additional retooling of the machine would be necessary. The whole change-over process takes 3 hours regarding if the number of garments is 200, 500 or 800. Furthermore, let’s strictly theoretically assume that the company is able to achieve some extra capacity and one batch is now composed of 150 garments instead of 100 garments. Still, although the total number of garments would vastly increase, the change-over costs would be altered only partially. The opportunity cost measured as a lost contribution margin would slightly increase, but the out-of-pocket costs would stay the same, as the wages of the employees and supplies costs will not change. Thus, it is clear that the number of garments is not the proper cost driver for the change-over costs.…

    Nike Case

    Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman started their company with a vision of serving the athlete. That vision was shared by their first employees, who were committed to the company but who needed more detailed directions: They needed to know what was appropriate and what wasn’t when it came to conducting company activities. Knight responded by issuing a list of guiding principles at a crucial time in the company’s history. It was 1977, and the 13-year-old company was prospering. Sales had reached $28 million, but Knight wasn’t satisfied. Because he wanted to be number one and beat his staunch rival, Adidas, he conceived this list of principles in the faith that they would foster the behavior that would get him and his company where he wanted to be: NIKE PRINCIPLES 1. Our business is change. 2. We’re on offense. All the time. 3. Perfect results count—not a perfect process. Break the rules; fight the law. 4. This is as much about battle as about business. 5. Assume nothing. Make sure people keep their promises. Push yourselves; push others. Stretch the possible. 6. Live off the land. 7. Your job isn’t done until the job is done. 8. Danger Bureaucracy Personal ambition Energy takers vs. energy givers Knowing our weaknesses Don’t get too many things on the platter 9. It won’t be pretty. 10. If we do the right things, we’ll make money damn near automatic. Knight was right about number 10. By 1980, with 2,700 employees and revenues of $270 million, Nike had surpassed Adidas and dominated the U.S. market. New Statements for New Missions By the mid-1980s, however, Nike was toppled from the top spot by a new rival—Reebok. Women had discovered Reebok’s soft leather shoes and its sales took off, while Nike’s declined. To regain its top place, Nike needed a new mission—namely, “Crush Reebok.” It worked—Nike soon regained industry leadership—but the lead was a little too narrow for Phil Knight’s comfort. So he issued a new…
