    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.…

The company was very imaginative in their own ways as well as very organized.…

    Eisner And Disney Case Summary

    In assessing the author’s reflection on the case study, it can be realized that he has failed to cite specific examples from the case to support his arguments. He mostly uses some generalized circumstances, which may also be acceptable due to the limited word count requirements of the response. Overall, the author has justified the perspectives of Disney’s vulnerability from the communications standpoint. The biblical integration is also relevantly compared with the case, as the author uses the story of Jesus and his struggles against the oppositions.…

    Toys R Us Case Questions

    This LBO transaction has both risk and profit potential. KKR, Bain, and Vornado Realty Trust face risk because the industry that Toys “R” Us (toys) is currently in, the retail toy industry, is in a decline. Industry sales have been down 4% in the last year, and analysts don’t have a positive projection for future sales in the US. This declining industry, and threat of new competitors such as Walmart and Target, make it hard to be profitable which makes it extremely risky for KKR, Bain, and Vornado. Another factor that needs to be considered when calculating risk, is that this transaction is a club deal, meaning that more than one private equity firm will have control. This is risky to each firm because they will have limited control and will not have the power to dictate the transaction exactly how they wish.…

    Mattel Case

    1. The decision facing Mattel is whether to continue to produce their products internationally where cost are low, or produce them in the United States where costs are significantly higher but quality is better. Mattel might want to even reconsider going global if there sales are decreasing more internationally than in the United States. Mattel needs to determine how many of the products produced internationally were recalled versus the amount of products produced in the United States that were recalled. Mattel also needs to decide how they are going to advertise their products in a way that will convince consumers in the external environment to buy their products, without having any uncertainty about the products containing hazardous objects that can harm their children.…

    Evidence from this case suggests that the traditional Japanese corporate governance stance has started to shift in order to include some elements of the Anglo-American way of corporate governance. It appears that a final decision has been made to build Disney Sea Park (despite unattractive ARR, but attractive NPV/IRR and ACFR) not only for the potential profits reaped for the company but also due to their responsibility to keep uphold the interests of its stakeholders (which would include its parent company, stockholders, landowners, suppliers, creditors, the local communities and government), whose livelihoods would be directly affected by this critical decision.…

    Procedures to Ensure Ethical Behavior

    The Walt Disney Company has several procedures in place to ensure ethical behavior. The first procedure in place is effective internal controls over financial reporting. The Walt Disney Company used the independent registered public accounting firm of PriceWaterHouseCoopers LLP for the auditing of its financial statements and internal controls for the year ending 2009 and 2010. This independent auditor found the financial statements to be presented fairly and the internal controls over financial reporting to be effective for both of those years (The Walt Disney Company, 2010*).
