Part of the reason is that Sears simply didn't sell as many kit houses in that time period, as the Modern Homes business was still getting off the ground. I think another reason is that houses built from 1908-1913 in the older suburbs tended to be located in areas that were part of of suburban downtown redevelopment efforts and were consequently razed. I've found pre-1913 Sears houses in places like the Norwood Park neighborhood of Chicago, Des Plaines, Woodstock, and now, Itasca.…

In this case, Black & Decker Corporation (B&D) is facing a major challenge in the power tools market. The industry is segmented into three categories; Consumer, Professional-Industrial, and Professional-Tradesmen, and while B&D holds the biggest market share in the Consumer segment, they are trailing far behind in the Professional-Tradesmen segment, with a meager 9% market share. Though this is a growing market segment, B&D is barely making any profits from it, and a new strategy is needed if they are to be competitive and gain market share.…
With Black & Decker being one among the most powerful brand names in the world and establishing its professional tools to be the highest quality in the industry, B&D failed to make an impact in the Professional-tradesmen segment. B&D was known for offering high quality, differentiated products and excellent service in the Professional-Industrial segment whereas its brand recognition, and image helped it attain the #1 position in the market place for Consumer segment. B&D occupied only 9% of the total share as against Makita who was leading the Professional-Tradesmen segment with 50% market share. Though B&D leads in the other two segments, it could not capture the tradesmen segment due to the following reasons. B&D was branded more as home tools; it lacked in capitalizing one of the most profitable distribution channels (membership clubs) whereas the same channel proved to be very successful for Makita (85%); the unremarkable grey color did not help B&D; and while B&D was focused in three segments, Makita was focused on only one segment of the market. Therefore, Joseph Galli, Vice president of sales and marketing for B&D, has to decide which one of the three marketing strategies must be implemented to take, the market share in the Professional-Tradesmen segment, away from the current leader Makita.…
