    Home Depot Vs. Lowes

    For my report I chose The Home Depot, Inc. (HD) on the NYSE. The Home Depot’s fiscal year ended February 3rd 2013. The information used in this report came from the company’s annual report. This company is clearly a retailer. It purchases home improvement goods from manufacturers and resells those goods to the consumer. I chose the Home Depot because I am very familiar with the home improvement industry having spent ten years working in the field. While I was working on homes professionally, I became quite familiar with the Home Depot, and how the retailer operates from a consumer’s point of view. I have my own beliefs about why it is the premier home improvement retailer; I would like to be able to back up my beliefs based on anecdotal evidence with financial facts.…

    Internal and External Factors

    When two upper level managers decided to relinquish their jobs with the small hardware store they were working at, “Handy Dandy” they had a vision and set out to develop a company that catered to the “do-it-yourselfer,” and with that idea, The Home Depot was born. As the company exploded from one store into hundreds, it soon became the largest supplier of building supplies and home improvement materials in the United States. However, this was a short-lived, other companies were closing in on the same idea and the market was shrinking. The planning managers, at that time, needed to develop a strategic plan for The Home Depot that would take advantage of the current business landscape, “globalization, technological change, the importance of knowledge and ideas, and collaboration across organizational “boundaries”” (Bateman & Snell, pg. 6). In today’s business culture, many more industries are going global. U.S. retailers are looking internationally not only for sourcing and outsourcing products and services but for new consumer markets and growth.…
