Costco Binding Place: A Case Study
I would choose Costco as my hiding place because it's a stable and secure location. Everything that I would need to survive is located inside. Like food, water, clothes, personal hygiene essentials, and gas for my car. Since I'm choosing to stay at Costco, I won't need to bring much. The first item on my list to bring is my 2012 Toyota Corolla. This car has great gas mileage so I won't be needing to use up my supply. I will have access to knives, but in case of an emergency I would like to have a gun on hand. Making the second item on my list an AK-47 semi-automatic with a scope and a silencer. Walkie talkies would be next on my list because they are more reliable than a cell phone. Also, some are battery powered which is very convenient.

    Staples Case Study

    In 1985, the office supplies industry was highly fragmented with many companies manufacturing unique products rather than a broader based catalog. Larger wholesalers were few, so consumers had to order supplies from several companies rather than from one immediate location. New technologies were also finding their place into businesses such as personal computers, fax machines and copiers. This created a demand for a wider variety of office supplies. Economically, the country was turning itself out of a recession and many small businesses were born from major layoffs in the early eighties. These companies needed a quick and reliable way of purchasing supplies.…
