Brief introduction of the Warehouse and Unichem Company.
The Warehouse Group

Company profile:
The Warehouse Group Limited is engaged in the retailing of general merchandise, apparel, stationery, consumer electronics, and home appliances. It operates through The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, Noel Leeming, Torpedo7, and Other segments. The company is also involved in online retailing, which operates through the Torpedo7, 1-day, and Urban daddy Websites in New Zealand and Australia. In addition, it operates a chocolate factory, which supplies products to The Warehouse. The company provides a range of clothing, entertainment, technology, music, sporting, gardening, grocery, and other products. The company owns and operates 92 general merchandise and apparel stores, 61 stationery stores, and 75 consumer electronics and home appliances stores. The Warehouse Group Limited was founded in 1982 and is based in Auckland, New Zealand.
I have chosen Unichem pharmacy’s income statement and balance sheet to compare and analysis with the income statement and balance sheet of the warehouse group, to create report and recommendation for this assessment. Unichem Pharmacy Group was established in 1981 as a buying group for individual Pharmacies and throughout New Zealand. In 1990 the unichem brand expands into the pharmacy retail group in New Zealand. Unichem Life was launched as subsidiary for the Unichem pharmacy group in 1995. The life pharmacies focus was on larger format pharmacies ranging top tier cosmetics and perfumes, located predominantly in malls.

    Hiram Miller—a

    I, the general manager of Hiram Miller Chicago branch, am considering we should have something done with our current warehouse on Jefferson Street. The basic problem is that the 60-year-old warehouse is not capable for our daily business from many aspects any more as we move into the 21st century. Due to many limitations, the shortcomings to run that warehouse are overwhelming the advantages it remains. Small size, inefficient layout, obsolete facilities, low-tech equipments and bad working environment are dragging our company down within such an intense competition nowadays.…

    Financial Analysis of Walgreens vs. Cvs

    The initial intent of this analysis was to identify changes in accounting methods within the financial statements of Walgreens and CVS, as well as to compare and contrast their financial statements, in order to draw conclusions about which company had better earnings. However, in the process of this analysis, with the exception of a minor change to lease accounting by Walgreens, there were no major changes in accounting methods identified. In examining the financial statements for these two drugstore industry leaders, the analysis shows that while each company conducts retail drugstore operations in similar ways, their business models for carrying out these operations greatly vary. These variances in business model led the analysis to focus on earnings from operations, operations costs, balance sheet analysis, cash flow analysis, inventory accounting, debt financing, retirement plans and benefits, and stock options.…

    The first would be Market Penetration. Wal-Mart has been successful in gaining customers from other electronic stores; however, I believe that their market share could be increased. In my personal opinion, Wal-Mart’s electronic section is equivalent to that of Best Buy. With increased consumer awareness of this, they could control a larger section of the market. Another strategy that could be used is Related Diversification. This can relate to their electronic Department by improving the products belonging to their in-house brand. Creating products equal in features to the name brands would create a possibility for increased consumption.…
