...Summary and Conclusion Home Depot remains the world’s largest home improvement retailer and makes for a sound investment choice. Its eight-core value system covers every cornerstone surrounding the industry and serves as a building block supporting its future ventures. It also allows the retailer to quickly adjust to market conditions and consumer needs, thereby maintaining the lead over competition. So far, the results have been favorable and will continue in the same direction for the foreseeable future, according to the historical financial data. The income statements and balance sheets from the past three years confirm the financial dependability of the company. Home Depot has maintained a steady 4% growth in gross profit and net sales all while increasing its current assets by nearly 8% in 2012. Most of the increase was reflected in its Cash and Accounts Receivables, which make the company more liquid. Furthermore, the company realized a 7% decrease in total current liabilities, respectively.

...Marketing Audit and Analysis of Hindustan hydraulics EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report has been produced to analyze the current marketing challenges faced by Hindustan Hydraulics with regard to their marketing strategy. Although Hindustan Hydraulics has invested time and money in improving their infrastructure, we feel that with tougher competition in the present market, this company is not taking full advantage of its cash reserve and good presence in the Indian market which could be used to develop their old machine with state of the art new technology which could result in higher profit and lower cost in maintaining machine. Faced with a consistent loss of market share due to new competition it is our analysis that, to enhance further growth and profit, Hindustan Hydraulics must improve their sales service, better turnaround time to decrease down time of machines so that customers do not fall behind their production schedule and more money should be pumped into the R&D department to develop advanced systems. Other recommendations has been discussed in detail in this report.

There are several methods used in business research that helps executives to focus the energy of developers, production staff and distribution forces. The concept of sales "theory" or marketing "theory" is problematic. This is because these are really subsets of a broader microeconomic approach to the manipulation or creation of demand. The concept of "translating purchasing power into demand" is nothing other than this. Therefore, sales "theory and practice" is an aspect of microeconomics and revolves around the response...

...The Resilience of the Railroad Industry Lindsay Millar, Jessica Settlecowski & Mike Gawel MGT 674 March 23, 2013 The history and resilience of the railway industry is rather remarkable as it has helped shape the landscape and the formation of the United States. Railways allowed colonies to settle in the West and the country suddenly became connected from coast to coast. This encouraged the exchange of goods and stimulated the development of towns and communities along track lines. Soldiers were shipped directly to the forefront of battleground lines and supplied with a constant flow of ammunition. Most importantly, trains were the steam engine that fueled the industrial revolution. The railway industry’s history is rich with experience and wise with age, as it has survived many seemingly insurmountable obstacles, including: the Great Depression, civil war, the advent of automobiles and airplanes and federal regulation. Federal regulation took the largest toll on the industry as it restricted the ability of the industry to adapt to future demands and market requirements. The growth of rail was stunted by 100 years of federal regulation and since the Staggers Act of 1980 which led to deregulation, the industry has been struggling to recover. After the implementation of the Staggers Act the industry has undergone serious reconstruction which has increased the overall performance and reliability of rail. As service levels improve the demand for low rates and large capacity...
