Hudson Group is a one of the largest and most
recognizable travel retailers in North America. we own and manage
over 1,000 duty-paid and duty-free stores in 89 locations,
including airports, commuter terminals, hotels and some of the most
visited landmarks and tourist destinations in the world.
In 2019 we initiated the Hudson Next Project, one of the key
pillars being the completion of design and implementation of four
new brands within the current Business Operating Model.
These brands include: Speciality stores, Newsstands, Book stores
& Brook stone stores
The new Specitity stores will be based out of the LAX airport. They
will cost approximately $19 million to contruct and will require
approximately 50 employees to operate. The Newstands, located in
Newark, New Jersey, will be based out of the airport - less than 15
miles outside of New York City, will cost $6.5 million to construct
and 20 employees to operate. The bookstores, located in Houston,
will require $8 million to construct and 15 employees to operate.
Located in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the new
Brookstones stores will cost $12 million to construct and 50
employees to operate across all stores.
Hudson Group will pledge 75.5 million in new construction and hire
no more than 260 employees. Annually, Specialty stores are a 9.5
million operation, Newstands are a $2.4 million operation,
bookstores are a 1.2 million operation and the new Brookstones
stores net 3.3 million in volume and growing.
If Hudson Group wasnts to maximize it’s annual revenue, how many of

Hypothetical Telecommunications Discussion
2929 unread replies.2929 replies.
Please read the case and answer the questions at the end. Please respond to two of your peers. Do you agree or disagree?
Sales at a large telecommunications company were down for the third quarter. Management reviewed several strategies to improve sales and concluded that one solution would be to improve training for the large, dispersed sales force.
For the sake of expediency, the training department began using a needs assessment it conducted several years before as a basis to develop enhanced training. The plan was first to update the original needs analysis, and then to develop new training strategies on the basis of what it found. The department also began investigating new training technologies as a possible means to reduce training delivery costs. However, management was so intent on doing something quickly that the training department was ultimately pressured into purchasing a generic, off-the-shelf package by a local vendor.
One of the features of the package that appealed to management was that the course could be delivered over the Web, saving the time and expense of having the sales force travel to the main office to receive training. Hence, even though the package was costly to purchase, the company believed that it was a bargain compared to the expense of developing a new package in-house and delivering it in person to the sales force.
Six months after the training had been delivered, sales were still declining. Management turned to the training department for answers. Because no measures of training performance had been collected, the training department had little information upon which to base its diagnosis. For lack of a better idea, members of the training department began questioning the sales force to see if they could determine why the training was not working.
Among other things, the salespeople reported that the training was slow and boring and that it did not teach them any new sales techniques. They also complained that, without an instructor, it was impossible to get clarification on things they did not understand. Moreover, they reported that they believed sales were off not because they needed training in basic sales techniques, but because so many new products were being introduced that they could not keep up. In fact, several of the salespeople requested meetings with design engineers just so they could get updated product information.

First Day on the Job Discussion
Please read the case and answer the questions at the end. Please respond to two of your peers. Do you agree or disagree?
Malik's first day as a new manager ended up more challenging than he expected. While having to adjust to a new workplace and new colleagues, he had an interesting management challenge thrown at him. Toward the end of the day, one of his employees came to him, looking frustrated and exhausted. Malik had heard that this employee was going to be one of his best, a high-potential employee who would be a great asset. On this day, the employee did not look to be an asset to anyone.
Without providing much history or detail, this employee explained to Malik that she is planning to quit her job. She is exhausted and frustrated, she explains because the work seems to be at once too much and too little. She feels overworked, but at the same time, she does not feel any excitement about her work. She doesn't feel she is being challenged to learn skills that will help her to reach the ultimate goal of owning her own business.
Unfortunately, Malik has to leave for the day before you can get more information. What should he do? Answer these questions, and formulate a plan of action.

Best Buy Co Inc. headquartered in Richfield, Minnesota is a multinational American retailer of Consumer Electronics Corporation. It also retails home office products, entertainment products, appliances and its related services . They operate under different names through their call centers, retail stores and online retail operations e.g. Best Buy (Bestbuy.com, Bestbuy.ca, Bestbuy.co.uk, BestBuyMobile.com etc). In addition to this, it also operates under the names of Carphone Warehouse (CarphoneWarehouse.com), Five Star (Five-Star.cn), Future Shop (FutureShop.ca), Geek Squad, Pacific sales, the Phone House (PhoneHouse.com), Napster (Napster.com), and Magnolia Audio Video. Best buy operates in two segments; first comes the domestic segment and the other is the international segment .
The domestic segment as of FY 2011 operates in all the states districts and territories under various brand names, which are not confined to the ones that are mentioned above. Whereas, the international segment operates in Canada (Best Buy, Best Buy Mobile, Cell Shop, Connect Pro, Future Shop and Greek Squad), Europe (Best Buy, The Carphone Warehouse, The Phone House and the Greek Squad), China (Best Buy, Greek Squad, Five Star), Mexico (Best Buy and Greek Squad) and Turkey (Best Buy and Greek Squad).
At present the operations under the domestic segment are carried by store brand name and district managers, which are overseen by the retail field officer. The manager and the officers meet regularly to discuss issues on how to manage process efficiencies. This has helped them in corporate retail management, by setting up standard procedures that has been adjusted according to local consumer demands. Moreover, the international operations are each carried in a different manner so as to facilitate consumers . For example, the European market is controlled through a corporate retail management program, which looks into the issues of advertising, inventory management, purchasing and price setting. The Canadian market uses a standardized operating system that employs an operating model, which is imitated from the U.S Best Buy Mobile stores (COMMISSION, 2011). The Chinese market operations are in practice to support Five Star and Best Buy; these are the two brands that are operating there. And lastly, the U.K, Mexican and Turkish markets operate on the U.S model of Best Buy Stores .
As the market is being strongly challenged by foreign and online operators using, how can best buy use concepts of LSS to ensure sustainability.
