Case Stude on Dry Cleaners Presto

Both the family, and the Wal-Mart acknowledge that the family was detained. The Wal-Mart associates believed that they had the right to stop the family based on the assumption of shoplifting, although they should not have physically restrained the family from advancing out of the store, nor denied Debra McCann’s offer of verifying the family’s identity.

(the defendant). Cruz’s parents sent an email to Fagor on the date of the occurrence detailing said incident, and the defendant responded by denying liability. Cruz filed a complaint against Fagor alleging causes of action for negligence and product liability. Through his attorney, Cruz mailed the summons and complaint addressed to the company’s Chairman of the Board through certified mail requesting a return receipt. The receipt indicated that the envelope was accepted and signed for by an individual at the company headquarters, but Fagor failed to file an answer or make any appearance until after the plaintiff had entered a motion for a default judgment against the defendant. The defendant filed a motion to set aside the entry of default and the default judgment, which the court granted on the grounds that there was no proof that the summons and complaint:

CCI’s 22 year old machine is a weakness because Customers have complained about flaws in their dry cleaning caused by this machine. Canada’s Cleaners’ second weakness is their lack of cleaning locations. Canada’s Cleaners only has one cleaning location, and this is a weakness because one location is inconvenient to their customers who come from all across London, Ontario. Canada’s Cleaners’ last weakness is their cleaning process, which requires 40% more touchups than other dry cleaners. This a weakness of CCI’s because it costs extra, unnecessary money to pay employees to do hand touchups, with fairly little benefit in

What Bruno Sanchez Ocampo couldn’t see, was that even though the system was working properly, there were several gaps that a new system could fulfill efficiently. The lack of constant communication with the headquarters could be taken as a perfect example. The cost of having only one daily communication after the store was closed could be simply solved by a new wireless system. Having only one modem connected POS per store turned day to day operation into highly unproductive situation, not to say that using floppy disk and carrying them around the store each time was extremely out of date by the year 2003. A major lack in the system was that there was no possibility of sharing data between the POS and the PDA. As a consequence there was a complete miscommunication between the point of sales and the personal display assistants. Furthermore, another flaw in the system was the impossibility of communication between the different stores. This is a huge opportunity cost if we think about the internal supply that could be provided by the nearby stores. Even though Zara made an effort and changed the hardware of the POS, this seemed to be not enough. The software was still run by DOS and there was no more support for that kind of program.

Bed, Bath and Beyond (BBBY) currently has $400 million more in cash than they need for ongoing growth and operations requirements. While the company is financially sound analysts and investors worry about the company’s capital structure decisions. Investors do not want to see that much cash on the books and worry that the current capital structure is not the most effective for the future. They prefer that BBBY change their capital structure by paying out excess cash and issuing debt. This could allow BBBY to improve their return on equity and raise earnings per share. Given the low interest rates available it seems like the perfect time for BBBY to add debt to its capital structure. Until now they

Based on our projections for the years 2002-2004, the biggest driver that effects debt is the company’s operating expenses. Based on the history of the upward trend of operating expenses, our recommendation is that The Body Shop needs to concentrate on lowering the operating expenses, and keeping those expenses around 45% or lower in order to avoid borrowing money. Our 45% recommendation includes a safety net which will prevent having The Body Shop borrowing cash if sale do not continue to climb at a significant rate.

Parts Emporium Inc. managed to transform itself from doing business out of a garage to becoming the largest independent distributor of auto parts in the north central region. In the past period, inventory capacity rose from 65% to 90% and sales growth has stagnated causing Parts Emporium to hire an outside manager to figure out where the problem lies.

It might not be in the retailer’s best interest to perform such upgrade, as the new system will replace three of the existing legacy systems in terms of ordering and fulfillment. The IS department will perceive such upgrade as a radical move and is expected to show high resistance in response to it. Even though Zara has a decentralized decision making process, the retailer’s IS department exercises absolute autonomy on the IT infrastructure and design. The fact that “only one person had left the department” in the past 10 years further confirms that the retailer is suffering from cognitive and action inertia, and thus creating a huge barrier for such
