Home Depot realized they needed very qualified leaders to assist with finding talent. The second of these intentions were to have limitless and diverse channels of entry into Home Depot to mold personnel into program that would build leadership.

A “can-do” attitude provides a Wealth of Success you never know what you can do until you try. Here is an article about a man with a lot of determination his name is Heston Wong he was in the Navy and started out fixing F14 aircraft and he just wasn’t fond with fixing aircraft so he was offered a store keeper job he accepted.

...IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN DO IT...!! In childhood, we all have had many crazy dreams. But how many of us would really go behind those dreams and pursue them?? Time changes everything. And very few follow their dreams. It’s not that they forget their dreams, but the fear in them, pulls them back from pursuing their dreams. The courage they had in their childhood to do anything and everything is lost, the innocence is lost forever. They forget to think how much happiness it would bring into their life rather they are more concerned with what others would think if they follow their dreams. Even I have a dream, dream to be different. To stand out from the crowd, and to do things which no one ever had thought about. I always wanted to try those things which no one ever dared to do, because that helps me to know more and better of myself. I never followed anyone, because I never wanted to do the exact things what others did in their life. I wanted to be different, different from what others do and think. For me doing things differently, always means discovering myself, knowing more about myself, because what I always believe is, “if we want to do something different, we have to do that one thing which we feel we can’t do. Sometimes we may fail, but then we can proudly say, I’M DIFFERENT.” And for me the most daring thing is to be myself and to do exactly what I want to do at that point in time and not to be worried with what other people think or are doing. Yes I know things...

...What Repression Can Do to a Woman Since the beginning of time women have been treated as second class citizens. Women were repressed and were forced to face many problems. At that time women were mainly controlled by their husbands and could not freely do things without the consent of their husband. This paper shows how this is evident in the "Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin and "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. In both stories, the use of literary elements such as foreshadowing, symbolism, and significant meaning of the titles are essential in bringing the reader to an unexpected and ironic conclusion. The similarities begin with both of the authors being raised in the south. We can presume that is one way they could described the situations that they faced so accurately; situations like political and social presumptions problems especially for women at that time. Chopin writes how “women are to be seen and not heard”. That was the standard for women in those days. Women had no basic rights like voting and generally lived under their husband’s rule. Chopin's stories seemed very modern even though it was written over 120 years ago. Chopin stretched boundaries with her writing. The late eighteen hundreds were a rough time for women and there were not the options like divorce that is available now. Through Mrs. Mallard, we could see the social repression that women felt at that time. Therefore, in this story there is so much domination, Chopin said "They were...

...How can Kellogg’s do better in India? What were the mistakes it made? ABOUT KELLOGS: Kellogg is $13.2 billion multinational food manufacturing company with its headquarters in Michigan, USA. It has manufacturing units in 18 countries and markets its products in over 180 countries. Brand Kellogg’s a global successful player serving packaged breakfast items across globe. Kellogg’s ventured in India in 1994. On its arrival, it created a new category of branded breakfast cereal products. Since then the journey for Kellogg’s has been far from easy, actually it has been so tough that it has found itself to be one of the biggest brand failures in India. In this article let us study what went wrong for the global brand, what mistakes it made and going forward what should be its strategy. Breakfast Cereal Industry: The Industry was pegged at Rs 150 crores way back in 1995 during early days of Kellogg’s. Today, this new category created by Kellogg’s is pegged at Rs 500 crores. Cornflakes account for 80% of the market, rest is shared by Oats, Muesli and Wheat Porridge. Kellogg has 70% market share i.e. 350 crores. The category has grown by only 8.4% per annum over the last 15 years. The figures are testimony to the fact that Kellogg's effort to change the breakfast habit of the Indian people, has not had as much success as it hoped for. Cornflakes for breakfast is somethings we as Indians are not used to and making us leave our idli’s, dosas and parantha’s for cornflakes...

...Case Study: Hewlett Packard Family branding is a good way to describe Burberry, because its the same brand releasing a range of products. (Luxury, bags, shoes, boots etc.) , but it is also a global Brand because it is a brand this is competing on a global scale against it’s major competitors. Product branding is a good way to describe the HPPCs because its a generic product with variation. It is also designed for what people actually wanted and not so much for what people “needed” In order to avoid ubiquity, the strategy used by the people at Burberry was to make it to “move beyond plaid, without disrespecting its fashion history.” The launch of the icons collection, comprising luxury handbags, shoes, boots, trench coats, and small leather goods meant that Burberry was able to compete more on a Global level. This strategy was used and successful because by making products which were more expensive and harder for fakes to be made it meant that those who are loyal customers and customers who are able to afford will continue to comeback without the fear of ubiquity. The branding strategy used by Hewlett-Packard, was the use of hip-hop mogul Sean “Jay Z” Carter, in order to make the brand more “hip” and more attractive to maybe younger customers or more –so customers that are interested in music. This means that other products released by HP would be attractive towards the young people. C. The main reason for Hewlett Packard suffering through the recent years was because...

...Discuss how the leadership at Home Depot intended to use its organizational talent to gain a competitive advantage in the Do It Yourself industry. The best way for Home Depot to gain a competitive advantage and to maintain it in today’s business situations is to carry out and transform so fast that they bring forth a cycle of temporary competitive advantages. This can be extremely difficult to accomplish as it requires a grouping of organization policies, practices, and designs. It is specifically because it is not easy to make organizations that change rapidly and effortlessly that being able to do so is an influential and sustainable foundation of competitive advantage. Its one thing to know talent is significant and it’s another to make talent a foundation of competitive advantage. It requires maintaining the right talent and organizing and managing it efficiently (Sears, 2003).
