    Home depot

    Home Depot, Inc. first opened its doors in June of 1979 in Atlanta, Georgia under the owners of Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank. They had the vision of a one-stop shop for every need a do-it-yourself customer might have. The first few stores were around 60,000 square feet and they used empty boxes to give the illusion of more products on their shelves. Home Depot quickly became a popular home improvement warehouse throughout the country and revolutionized the do-it-yourself industry. Home Depot’s goal is to help consumers find the products perfect for their renovations or home projects by providing excellent customer service. Since the beginning their associates have provided superior customer service to their customers by offering free classes where customers can learn how to do it themselves. The store associates also underwent rigorous training in order to be knowledgeable about the products Home Depot stocks. Home Depot has a “whatever it takes” philosophy when it comes to customer service, meaning they want their associates to form a more personal relationship with their customers instead of just treating them like walking money signs. They also offer expert support services for contractors and tradespeople to guarantee that they have the right tools to complete the job in an effective and timely manner.…

    Internal and External Factors

    When two upper level managers decided to relinquish their jobs with the small hardware store they were working at, “Handy Dandy” they had a vision and set out to develop a company that catered to the “do-it-yourselfer,” and with that idea, The Home Depot was born. As the company exploded from one store into hundreds, it soon became the largest supplier of building supplies and home improvement materials in the United States. However, this was a short-lived, other companies were closing in on the same idea and the market was shrinking. The planning managers, at that time, needed to develop a strategic plan for The Home Depot that would take advantage of the current business landscape, “globalization, technological change, the importance of knowledge and ideas, and collaboration across organizational “boundaries”” (Bateman & Snell, pg. 6). In today’s business culture, many more industries are going global. U.S. retailers are looking internationally not only for sourcing and outsourcing products and services but for new consumer markets and growth.…
