Great day to you!
Recently CNBC presented an inside view of Target Stores from inception to expansion activities. I was surprised to learn that Target Stores acquired the City of Detroit's J.L. Hudson Downtown store which I hold such fond memories of shopping there with my mom and siblings. I remember a shopping trip to J.L. Hudson which I pleaded (really pleaded including a few tears) with my mom to buy me this navy blue sailor dress which I was blessed to get and looked fabulous wearing (even at the age of 10)....thanks mommy!
Target Stores started with the drive and courage of an entrepreneur who saw an opportunity to provide goods and services. With the help of countless individuals this Midwestern business grew rapidly through market expansion activities such as market penetrations and mergers and acquisitions. Although, in the 70s Target Stores realized rapid growth and profit unfortunately in the same time period there were significant losses due to inconsistent management practices.

Inconsistent business management practices across multiple sites or departments can result loss in profits. Business management practices that are uniformed, consistent and measured are necessary in all sized enterprises if indeed profitability is desired.
