Before an organization considers scaling, it should understand the organizational system performance and potential system bottlenecks. Web Page Test (https://webpagetest.org/) is a site evaluator that creates a detailed report. The report helps identify images that can be further compressed and the impact of the systems cache, as well as potential benefits of compressing text.

Use WebPagetest to evaluate two or more websites. In one page, discuss how the report’s findings align with your user experience.

The paper must adhere to APA guidelines including Title and Reference pages.  The Title and Reference pages do not count towards the page count requirement. There should be at least one scholarly source listed on the reference page.  Each reference cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and each entry in the reference list must be cited in text. APA requirements for this class include:

• A title page
• 12-point Time New Roman font
• Your paper should be typed and double-spaced with 1″ margins on all sides
• The first sentence of each paragraph should be indented one tab space
• All papers should contain the page number, flush right, in the header of every page. Use the automatic page-numbering function of your word-processing program to insert page numbers in the top right corner; do not type page numbers manually.

I’m stuck on a Marketing question and need an explanation.

Target Canada

• In 2012, Target expanded its business into Canada. The proximity to the U.S. as well as Canadians’ familiarity with the brand made expansion across the border seem like a natural step for the retail powerhouse. However, after only two years, Target faced $2 billion in losses and announced plans to close all of its Canadian stores. Here are some of the reasons the global expansion led to an exit decision:
• Target was initially able to minimize its capital costs by purchasing obsolete stores from a former Canadian discount chain. While this gave Target quick and affordable access to a high number of locations, the stores were not designed for Target’s big box format. Also, the association created by locating the new Targets in outdated spaces damaged its “Expect More, Pay Less” brand reputation.
• Target compromised quality for speed to market. The company opened 124 stores in only two years, and essential parts of the business, such as inventory planning, could not keep up with that pace. As a result, empty shelves and stock outs were an issue. This was especially disappointing for Canadian consumers, who were accustomed to seeing abundant merchandise in U.S. stores.
• Target faced stiff competition from Walmart, which has been present in Canada since 1994. Historically, Target’s trendy and more fashionable merchandise had helped the brand distinguish itself. However, its Canadian assortment lacked these qualities, which put Target in the position of having to compete on price, which is Walmart’s sustainable competitive advantage. Walmart responded with a price war that they appear to have won.
• Each of these factors put Target’s brand equity, one of its most precious assets, at risk, and ultimately it was left with little choice but to pull out of the market. While opportunity may still exist in the future for Target to re-enter Canada, its failed first attempt is a good lesson for companies considering expanding operations into new global regions.

Questions:

1) Evaluate the three criteria for divestment (according to the textbook) for Target Canada. Did Target Canada meet each criterion? Explain.

2) Imagine you were president of Target Canada at the time when Walmart started the price war. How would you respond to the war? Was there any way to win? Be sure to explain your answer here. Should they try to win? Explain why or why not. Please be specific in your answers.

Raising children today is not easy. Their health is impaired by diet, lack of exercise, environmental toxins, and stress. They are subject to bullies in school, negative influences in the media, and they are pressured to grow up too fast. Technology has exposed children to so much more than they used to be exposed to. Given all of these impacts, discuss the factors that lead to raising healthy children.

1.What would you do to raise your children to be well-adjusted physically and emotionally?

2.How would you handle the attraction of technology in your household?
