Questions and Topics We Can Help You To Answer:

1.) Please complete the class discussion Topic: The Importance of Strategic Controls:

Retail companies like Walmart are heavy users of strategic control systems. Think about how it utilizes RFID technology to track products from inventory to the market shelves. Discuss how Walmart relies upon strategic surveillance, special alert control, and implementation control. What improvements might you suggest to the company’s COO relative to strategic control and why?  

Please have the discussion above complete by next Wed/Thursday.  I will attach the 2 class responses as usual by next wed/Thursday for you to respond to.  

2.) Main Assignment is :

Case 2 "Ann Taylor: Survival in Specialty Retail"

I attached the Rubric along with the template.  Please ensure that everything is complete exactly on the template as it gives you the information on how long each question needs to be such as number of paragraphs for each section and how many sentences as well.  I will upload the Case information shortly since you cant access it in the book. 

Thanks.
