...market. Three dominant members of this group are Saks Incorporated, the Neiman Marcus Group, and Nordstrom. Through e-commerce strategies we will be able to see the similarities and differences in these firms’ core competencies and business strategies. Background Since 1998, Saks Inc. has opened forty-seven new stores. Their capital spending has increased to over $1.4 billion and they have upgraded or remodeled the majority of their stores. Saks Inc. has also reorganized into two distinctive groups; the Saks Department Store Group (SDSG) and the Saks Fifth Avenue Enterprise (SFAE). Saks Department Store Group targets the traditional department store. Their motto is "The Best Place to Shop in Your Home Town". The Saks Fifth Avenue Enterprise targets the luxury marketplace. Their motto is "The Most Inviting Luxury Experience". Both divisions of Saks are better strategically positioned to target their group of customers. As mentioned, Saks is divided into two divisions. The Saks Department Store Group's strategies are having merchandise incentives, an enhanced shopping experience, and focused marketing. These strategies present customers with ideas of what they need to have or what is in style. The idea is a floor presentation that places the customer in a situation where they feel they would lead a better life if they owned the item being displayed to them. One of the key aspects of this strategy is product differentiation. Saks stores must be able to offer customers items...

...b. Yes. In my opinion, Saks’ zero-tolerance policy for employee theft was reasonable and effective way for internal control. Even though the case presented only one instance when Fierro was caught stealing, the fact that he was caught already tends to lead someone/management or gives the management a notion to believe that he had probably stole before or will probably do it in the future. The zero-tolerance policy might seem harsh, however it has its advantages that are hard to calculate. The policy might have resulted to the termination of a top performing employee but it sent a message to the rest of the employees exactly how serious the company is concerning employee theft. Forging signature and theft are both criminal offenses. Hence, even if the loss that Saks has suffered was relatively trivial/small ($9.85), Fierro should receive appropriate sanctions for his actions for he clearly violated some provisions of the company’s employee handbook. Such policy is also a way to maintain strict code of conduct among Saks’ employees and promote a sound control environment that advocates an honest culture of integrity and ethical values. The policy may not be cost-effective in the short-run since sales may decrease due to Fierro’s termination, as he was a top performing salesman. However, in the long-run, the policy can prevent future losses from employee theft. The long-run savings can outweigh the short-term losses. In my opinion, the store’s zero-tolerance policy for...

...Week 4 You Decide 1. Who specifically should Premier Portraits target with the new branding message? With the quality of the prints that Premier Portraits is going with I would recommend them market the new branding to high-end personal photographers that would service the higher end clients such as corporate big wigs and sports personal. These types of people are the people that can afford to spend the added cost and are also the people that would appreciate the added touches. 2. What product should Premier Portraits really offer to this market? Premier Portraits should offer this group the chance to capture the magic of childhood and the memories of today with a Catherin Portraits. Catherin Portraits can be offered in ways that depict the family’s children at major milestones like babies, toddlers, toothless, graduations. This would then follow the client into their professional career for when they when big games, or land huge business deals. 3. What value should the company’s online presence deliver? Since clients like to know that they are working with professionals. So you would need to be able to tell your client with confidence what you can do for them simply in two sentences, you look like a specialized expert who knows what they are doing and in turn, they can trust you to do it. You need to know where to target so you spend your efforts wisely. By developing specific content, programs and case studies for targeted segments, you will...
