But competition in the subsea contracting business had becomekeener in the 2000s, and many smaller companies left the industry. In addition, the focus ofcompetition had shifted.

Continue In another development in the firm’s evolving e-commerce strategy, Walmart has taken the decision to shutter Jet.com and phase out the brand, three years after splashing out $3.3 billion to acquire the start-up. This had been rumored for several months, with Walmart already divesting itself of smaller e-commerce gambits, such as ModCloth and Jetblack.

Borders focused on its retail strategy in the 2000s, expanding aggressively in the United States and internationally—and taking on debt. It strove to improve the in-store experience for shoppers, added cafes, and experimented with new concepts. Such a strategy may have worked a few decades earlier, but while Borders was investing in physical real estate, shoppers were flocking to the Internet. Borders was left with a conflicted strategy: Declining sales forced it to close hundreds of stores (including its entire Waldenbooks chain), while it doubled down on other retail outlets. Unfortunately, it treated the Internet like a passing trend instead of as a transformational phenomenon. The company outsourced its Web operation to Amazon—which obviously became a fierce rival. It waited until 2008 to develop its own Web strategy. Meanwhile, Amazon became the dominant player in online bookselling and e-books, introducing the Kindle e-reader. Its big brickand-mortar rival, Barnes & Noble, a…

My course: Principle of Management (MGT211:BRACU BBS) PEPSI’S NEW STRATEGIC FORMULA.. The high stakes rivalry between Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola is being played out in supermarkets, restaurants, and convenience stores all over the world. Pepsi-Cola has worked for years, with limited success, to catch up to market-leader Coca-Cola, trying strategy after strategy to regain ground in the United States and abroad. In 1965, Pepsi sought growth through diversification by acquiring Frito-Lay, which makes popular snacks such as Lay’s Potato Chips and Doritos. This diversification proved so lucrative that the company, renamed Pepsico, decided to diversify into fast-food restaurants- thought to be good outlets for soft drinks and snacks- through the purchase of Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
