Belk Case Study
Pro Michigan
I believe Belk should locate its next stores in Metro Detroit. The Metro Detroit area has a population of roughly four million people and a Gross Metropolitan Product of roughly $200 billion. It is among the top 20 cities in the United States in terms of GMP. There is many other department stores in the Metro Detroit area, which will require Belk to create a strategy to differentiate themselves from others. Some of the strategies could be better customer service, higher quality products, better pricing, etc.
A Belk store in the Detroit Metro area would make a great strategic fit. I believe the Detroit Metro area has a decent demographic and lifestyle fit for Belk. According to bls.gov, households in the Detroit Metro area has

    Federal agents suspected DLK was growing marijuana in his home and scanned DLK’s home from outside with a thermal imager which is a device that detects warmth within the home. The results were consistent with the use of heat intensive lights used in growing marijuana indoors and based on the scan and other evidence, the agents were able to obtain a warrant which was used to search the home where they found more than 100 marijuana plants. Within the search and seizure case of DLK, the government did not go too far because they had suspicion, did not invade the privacy of the suspect, and there was danger of loss of evidence.…

    Amazing Grace, by Jonathan Kozol, is about the author’s interviews with, and thoughts about, some of the poorest people who live in the poorest sections of New York. The facts stated in Amazing Grace startled me with the prevalence and desperation of the poverty situation in areas like the South Bronx and Mott Haven. These are areas where there are hundreds of thousands of people living in broken, crowded, and rundown apartment buildings, “That,” says Kozol, “most people would not even kennel their dogs in.” (pg. 51) I have been to areas near my home that I thought were poverty stricken, but they pale in comparison to some of the situations that I read about in Amazing Grace. On the very first page I was surprised by the fact that, “In 1991, the median household income of the area, according to the New…

    Saunders Kkrk Case Study

    After years of deliberation, Saunders Hall at UNC-Chapel Hill has become “Carolina Hall” (Stancill). Saunders was a leader of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK) during the 19th century. The board of trustees voted 10-3 to change the name; however, many questioned if their vote was going to be seen as changing history. Inevitably, it was seen as an act of righting a wrong of history given the board of trustees from 1920 used Saunders’ leadership in the KKK as a qualifier for naming the building. “We’re not changing history, we’re not rewriting it. We’re shining a bright light on it,” said trustee Alston Gardner. Gardner congratulated student activists for their perseverance, but added, “Now I hope you direct your passion on more substantial issues.” Trustee…

    Animal Experimentation plays an important role in today’s medical and pharmaceutical advances, but many question the morality of such a use of animal life. Whether you argue that testing different products and drugs on animals is necessary or not, this has become an integral part of developing products. From that Tylenol you pop to get rid of your headache, to that perfect shade of pink lip gloss, animal testing is used in order to produce the simplest household items. Today, in the United States, it is federal law that requires all pharmaceuticals, food additives, cosmetics, and garden chemicals to undergo a series of tests, including animal testing, before being available to general public. It is estimated between fifty and a hundred million vertebrate animals worldwide are being used fro animal experiments. While many believe that animal experimentation is a crucial part of research and safety, others argue the morality of this issue. Another point of view some share is a mixture of both opposing views, where one believes that animal experimentation should only be condoned in the field of medical research but not for vanity reasons.…
