    JC Penny case

    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.…

    Big Spaceship Case

    • 338 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Big Spaceship has the potential to go big, however it is not the best course of action. Going big would lead to the creation of numerous smaller teams within the agency, consequenting the disunification of the agency as one large team. Already at the end of 2008, with only four seven-member project teams and one floater team, there is an organizational rigidity beginning to bind the previously dynamic community. Hiring more employees and isolating them into teams would break down the family community that is a large part of what identifies Big Spaceship’s work-culture. Not only would the isolation of each individual into separate teams prevent Big Spaceship from utilizing each employee to their maximum efficiency, it would also create a disconnect between the people of the same discipline working on different teams and different projects. Employees who were once accustomed to being able to learn from each other through intradisciplinary communication would be left feeling estranged from their previous co-workers/mentors. The additional layers of management required to regulate the larger employee pool would also unavoidably lead to a hierarchical structure that will compromise the culture of self-motivation at Big Spaceship.…

    By the end of 2003 Lego was already facing crisis owing to dipping profits and declining market pool for toys. Lego had planned to expand into markets beyond building toys and needed huge investment to be made in it. But it found difficult to compete when fad players and other toy manufacturers were giving them stiff competition in a market that already was supposed to be giving lesser returns every year. This was mostly due to factors out of the control of Lego and other toy companies because, firstly, a research suggested that the demand of children who were primary customers of these companies were changing rapidly to fashionable and electronic products. They had lesser attention span and looked for instant gratification, and were lesser inclined to play with toys involving physical activity. Also Lego found it difficult to be competitive when its manufacturing base was in European markets while toy companies were moving to Far East and Middle East where labor was comparatively cheaper.…
