The Home Depot Case Study

Read the case study on Home Depot (attached) and answer the following
questions:

1.) How much did the external environment impact Home Depot’s decisions? (Ch
01 & 2)
(Minimum requirements: 3 or more paragraphs)

2.) Which internal employee communications were most essential? (Ch. 03)
(Minimum requirements: 2 or more paragraphs)

3.) Which external communications (customers, journalists, and investors)
stood out to you?
(Minimum requirements: 2 or more paragraphs)

4.) How do you think The Home Depot managed its decision to manage the 2020
holiday shopping, specifically, Black Friday? (Ch 02 & other chapters)
(Minimum requirements: 2 or more paragraphs)

The FINAL deliverable will include
(1) a cover page,
(2) introduction
(3) 5 or more pages with a thorough analysis of each question.
(4) a conclusion
(5) a reference page(s)
(6) any graphs/figures need to be included in the paper’s appendices (not in
the body of the paper).

Clearly separate the answers to each question by including
sub-headers/titles (not the original question).

Paragraphs at this level of study are 5+ well-developed sentences.

Students must be able to apply chapter concepts from the assigned textbook
to demonstrate they understand the chapter learning objectives and how to
apply these to real organizational situations.

You must be able to apply two or more chapter concepts in each one of the
answers. I encourage using additional valid external sources after meeting
the initial application of chapter concepts from the assigned textbook.

The emphasis of case studies will be on applying learned concepts and
critical analysis of case studies.

Strong emphasis is placed on the application between theory and practice.

APA (7th edition) REQUIRED: Please include in-text citations (with p. #) for
all content and external sources included.
