    JC Penny case

    • 2 Pages

    Founded in 1902, JC Penney is one of America’s leading retailers, operating more than 1,000 department stores throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, as well as offering products online and through catalogs. In January 2012, Johnson was recruited by J.C. Penney investors and left the United States’ second-most-valuable company, Apple, to join the J.C. Penney. He wanted a new challenge. CEO Ron Johnson introduced a plan to rebrand the department store J.C. Penney. The plan was involved and would completely restructure the department store as America knows it. Clear objectives were set. A plan was put into practice that would initiate a three-tiered pricing structure and remove all sales and promotions. A new logo was created. Stores were to be completely redesigned, and turned into 100 mini-stores within each J.C. Penney. Unfortunately, the plan was executed sloppily and J.C. Penney took a 25% loss in just one year. Ron Johnson was fired after only 17 months. J.C. Penney is now searching for a way to survive.…

    Business in China

    • 698 Words

    After reading the article I believe that a US company will partner up with a company that will provide them with tangible assets and other services. As the fastest-growing major economy in the world, China continues to offer global companies attractive investment and business opportunities. However, doing business in China also means navigating the complexities that arise from China’s unique historical, political, and cultural contexts (Burkitt, 2012). Establishing a company in China can be a trying and tedious task requiring elaborate approval and registration procedures. Despite the challenges, leading US companies are succeeding in China by developing collaborative relationships with Chinese stakeholders and demonstrating the agility to continuously adapt their strategies to the country’s dynamic environment. Applying for approvals from various authorities is common in China. Navigating China's complex business and regulatory environment to submit the applications to the right channels is an extremely tedious process that the enlightened businessman would rather leave to a partner in China. These companies are positioning themselves for long-term success by embracing the Chinese proverb qiu tong cun yi, which means “seeking similarities while respecting differences.” In doing so, they are co-opting China’s long-term interest in stability and prosperity into their business strategies, China investment regulations and compliance issues (Chu, nd).…
