    Analysis of how both companies meet their financial objectives and aims. INTRODUCTION: In this report I have decided to concentrate on two companies, Woolworth's plc and WHSmith plc, I will be analysing and comparing the two companies on their objectives (what they say their objectives are, and how they meet those objectives set) and their performances (if they have made profit or loss). I will research all these from their annual report, which is provided on the Internet. An introduction of both companies Woolworth's is known to be one of Britain's leading general merchandise retailers, with great brands, strong market position and a powerful presence in home entertainment. The company has one of the highest customer shopper's performances of all UK retailers' and today known to be the largest non-food retail chains. WHSmith is also one of the UK's leading retail groups incorporating market-leading companies in retailing publishing and news distributing. WHSmith has 1,464 stores world-wide; all these locate in place like the UK high street, airport, stations and countries outside of the United Kingdom such as North America and Asia The performance of the companies Last year was an eventful and challenging year for the Woolworth; the first half of the year when they were still part of Kingfisher's plc was a moment of uncertainty as the future of the company was being decided. The company detached themselves from Kingfisher plc on 28 August 2001, leaving them with 200 million of debt, over £100 million of excess stock, loss marking new format and e-business. Woolworth's formats are designed to appeal to the value-conscious consumer. Woolworth's is a mass-market retailer with a leading brand and broad product offering at competitive prices. Their mission is "to be at the heart of the community and the best loved retailer for kids, home and family leisure". The company's brand is known to be one of the best-recognised…

    As we all know Woolworths is one of Australia's largest supermarket operators. Woolworths supermarkets are everywhere in Australia. Is no exaggeration to say that more than half of Australian’s daily life cannot be separated from Woolworths. Every day people buy a lot of goods from Woolworths, such as food and other daily necessities. Woolworths is committed to providing better goods and services to consumers. Nevertheless, the customer still needs some other protective. Therefore I think the Australia consumer law should be applicable to the Woolworths.…
