Canada Goose Misconceptions
Canada has a notorious misconception of being cold and covered in snow all year round. For companies like Canada Goose Inc. (hence forth referred to as Canada Goose) they make that misconception a part of their “national identity” (Canada Goose Inc., 2015). In 1950, Sam Tick founded Metro Sportswear Ltd. in Toronto, ON. It has since transitioned to Canada Goose Inc. and has become internationally known as a leading manufacturer of “extreme weather outerwear” (Canada Goose Inc., 2015). Canada Goose is considered one of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies and were ranking 102 on the 2014 PROFIT 500 list (PROFIT Guide, 2014). In 2013, the company consisted of 538 employees with an annual revenue range of 100-249.9 million dollars, CAD. The

    Nordstrom vs. Macy's

    Historically speaking, Canada has never been a great market for American retailers. The Canadian dollar was weak, costs were higher, and with limited real estate development, it was difficult to find space. Not anymore, now the door to Canada is opening wider than ever thanks to a stronger Canadian dollar, a relatively robust economy, and a loosening of the commercial real estate market, in part because of the downsizing of some longtime retailers like Sears Canada. For American retailers, Canada’s allure is simple; sales per square foot at Canadian malls were almost 50 percent higher in 2011 than sales per square foot at American malls. This is a budding market that Nordstrom will need to act towards if they hope to keep up with the competition in the future.…

    “In 2005, Loblaw Companies Limited moved closer to completing one of the largest transformations in its history. [They] were challenged by the size and impact of the short term costs associated with executing certain elements of the transformation.” Working facilities merged, and there were major store renovations. A new head office and Store Support Centre was established in Brampton, Ontario; which now employs 2,000 Ontarians. However, these expansions caused some setbacks. Loblaw made changes to their national systems platform and supply chain. This change disrupted the flow of its inventory and had an overall negative effect on the sales and earnings for 2005. This simplified their distribution network which made the movement of inventory much less time consuming and lead to lower costs. A capital investment program exceeding $1 billion was used to continue the expansion of “The Real Canadian…

    In early January 2012, Richard Weir, president of Polar Sports, Inc., sat down with Thomas Johnson, vice president of operations, to discuss Johnson’s proposal that Polar institute level monthly production for 2012. Since joining the company less than a year earlier, Johnson had become concerned about the many problems arising from its highly seasonal production scheduling, which reflected the seasonality of sales of skiwear and accessories. Weir understood the cost savings and improved production efficiency that could result from level production, but he was uncertain what the impact on other aspects of the business would be. Polar Sports, a fashion skiwear manufacturer based in Littleton, Colorado, carried production lines in high-quality ski jackets, snow pants, sweaters, thermal soft shells and underwear, and accessories such as gloves, mitts, socks, and knit caps. The company produced most of these products in a wide range of styles, sizes, and colors. Polar had a unique design of skiwear that employed special synthetic materials for better insulation and durability. The design and color of products changed annually. Dollar sales of a given product line could vary as much as 30% to 40% from year to year. The ski apparel design and manufacturing business was highly competitive. The industry comprised a few large players and a number of smaller firms. Besides several major competitors in the market such as North Face, Burton, Karbon, Spyder Active Sports, and Sport Obermeyer, highend designers like Prada and Giorgio Armani had recently entered the technical skiwear market. Occasionally, a company was able to gain share in that competitive market by developing and marketing new fabrics and using innovative patterns in a given year; typically, however, competitors were able to market similar products the following year. Unlike Polar, several large producers had shifted their major…

    Batman has the Joker. Superman has Lex Luthor. And Spiderman has the Green Goblin interfering with his good intentions. For me, my archenemy is Branta canadensis, more commonly known as the Canadian Goose. Yes, the Canadian Goose. A few years ago, my sister had a dance competition at the University of North Florida (UNF). During break, as we walked the campus, a gaggle of geese was gathered near one of the walkways, so jokingly I raised my arms, turned toward the geese, and asked, "Do you want to fight?" Now this may sound silly, maybe even dumb, but my family and I are always joking and laughing, so I was trying to get the laugh. I got the laugh alright. One goose accepted the challenge and proceeded to chase me around for what seemed like several minutes as I was screaming and generally causing a scene on campus.…
