    JC Penney was once a fashion icon to children, young adults, and teens. Beginning in 1913 it currently operates over 1000 stores. Growing up my sister and I waited to go through their catalogue. We would circle everything we wanted. We would even get our hair cut the same way some of their models did. I went as far as crimping my hair because the model had her hair crimped. Every summer before school started my Grandma would take us shopping at Penney’s for new school clothes. This company is near and dear to my heart. However, even though it has been operating for 100 years it has started failing.…

He believes he is entitled to the six-year declining interest contemplated by the draft operation agreement. No contract was signed this was an oral agreement between the parties involved.

    In today’s highly competitive markets retailers evaluate all opportunities and possibilities to present the right product at the right price with the right promotional support in the right place. Category Management (CM), Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) and Consumer Relationship Management (CRM) are concepts that have been embraced by Retail Buyers and Retail Buying. To begin with, CM is a retailing concept to help retailers increased value to the end consumer and then increase customer loyalty, and it is also belong to ECR; ECR is managerial approach which helps retailers and suppliers to implement more efficiency, and CRM is a strategic concept used by retailers and suppliers to gain a mass of data about consumers.

    RetailCo is a "typically Dutch" retail organization, which takes good care of its employees. RetailCo is a centrally managed company with headquarters and various divisions like food, sales and distribution etc. This case study focuses on the sales division, which is the key division of RetailCo, in which the largest part of the employees (about 85%) work. RetailCo has a unique culture and a separate collective bargaining agreement, tailored specifically to the needs of this company with its pros & cons. RetailCo was recently taken over by a US-based investment firm with a lot of experience in the US retail industry. The predominant approach to HRM in The US and The Netherlands shows some major differences like HRM in the US is characterized by relatively low job security, focus on high performance work systems, and an increasing use of variable pay systems, contrary to Dutch HRM, with relatively higher job security, higher wages with less variable pay, and attention for employee wellbeing. Alongside these differences, there are also some differences specific to the two firms with RetailCo having stakeholder approach and Investment firm having shareholder approach. This takeover presents a dilemma for Retailco HR and the core issue is how to best fit Retailco values with shareholders approach of the Investment firm without comprising its stakeholders interests.…
