In 1996, Best Buy, the largest name-brand consumer electronics retailer in the United State, faced one of the greatest challenges in its history. This $8 billion retailer had grown furiously, tripling its size in three years. But it had done so with very few changes to its operations and business processes. As a result, profitability was dwindling.In 1997, they started ‘company transformation project and set up four strategic goals:
1. Optimized Space and Assortment 2. Promotion Effectiveness3. Precision Pricing4. Strategic Sourcing and Vendor Relations
