Businesses have to adapt to the ever-changing economy. It is not much of a choice for business leaders to change elements of their organization to stay in competition with their peers. The hardest part, most of the time, is changing the people in the organization to develop the necessary outcome or goal. As a business leader getting rid of people or changing their job specifics is one of the many responsibilities they have to be comfortable performing. Organizations have to take into consideration their competitors, customers, shareholders, employees, and the community to make decisions. Change is an aspect that many people are afraid of. In the new millennium, organizational leaders have to embrace change for success. Whether the economy is declining or on the rise, adaptation to the fluctuation will drive a business to reach its goals.
Some people question how do businesses in retail remain in good standing with many competitors. Each organization must put strategies and tactics in place to stay current and to customize their style of organizing things. Organizations aim to originate their ideas, but many often mimic the ideas of their peers. This technique is especially true with businesses in the same category of the retail industry. Retail organizations in the same category include Anna’s Linens, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Linens-N-Things. There are many retail stores, such as Walmart, Target, and Best Buy, but they fall into another category of retail. Bed Bath and Beyond Inc. is the largest retailer based in Union, New Jersey. It operates stores such as Bed Bath and Beyond, Harmon Stores, Christmas Tree Shops, and BuyBuy Baby. Bed Bath and Beyond have a domestic line and a home furnishings line. They sell bed linens, kitchen textiles, bath accessories, basic house wares, dinnerware, glassware, cookware, and small electric appliances at low prices. The Harmon Stores carry health and beauty care products. Christmas Tree
