A case study of archival datas (1991 to 2001) examined for Canadian Tire focused on three selected product categories - automobile tires, bicycles, and lawn mowers. Different patterns of retail strategies of objective price, objective quality, and advertising elements for private labels and national brands were found for these three product categories and three specific products within these categories. Retail strategies of these three elements were dependent upon the different nature of each product category and the related specific products. Insights offered from this study indicated the importance of examining retail strategies over time as well as at the micro level and product category and product specific levels. The overall strategies used by Canadian Tire to compete with other retailers are also discussed. Implications and future research recommendations are offered. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Writing this thesis has been a tough and adventurous journey to me. I'm grateful to have always been accompanied by the love, care, and support from my family members, my advisors, my committee member, my friends, and many others during the past three years. Through their support, I have been able to successfully complete this thesis. Now, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for all of them. First of all, I am deeply indebted to my advisor and my external committee member, Dr. Brent McKenzie and Dr. Dale Miller, for their comments, guidance, and patient throughout this thesis work. Without them, I won't be able to get the opportunity to work on this project. Whenever I came across difficulties in research, they helped me to find out the solutions and overcome the problems. Secondly, but most importantly, I would like to express my immense gratitude to my co-advisor, Dr. May Aung. Whenever I lost my confidence in my study, she encouraged and motivated me to move forward. To me, she is not only a dedicated advisor, but also a friend, a mother figure. It is my greatest honor to be her student. Without her belief and constant moral support, I would not be able to successfully complete this thesis. Besides my advisors and committee member, I would also like to express my thanks to the Archives and Research Collections Centre at University of Western Ontario (particularly for the Archivist, Bev Brereton), as well as the Canadian Tire Corporation. Without the successful corporation and the archival materials provided by the collection centre, 1 would not start and finally complete my research project. 1 would also like to thank the rest faculty members of the department, our secretaries, Lisa Cauley and Rita Raso, for their consistent help and assistance in the last three years. Also, 1 would like to thank my friends both in Canada and China, for their help, comfort and supports. Last but not least, I would like to express my utmost gratitude to my parents and my husband—Zhengji Zhuge. I'm thankful for their always being behind me, loving me, supporting me, and caring me in these years.

  • The World's Most Beautiful And... Best Performing Custom Designed Tires
    WelcomeWelcome ToTo TheThe World’sWorld’s MostMost BeautifulBeautiful and...and... BestBest PerformingPerforming CustomCustom DesignedDesigned TiresTires Bill Chapman Founder Diamond Back Classics I know what you are thinking! The tires on Bill’s Corvette are not correct. It’s not a show car-it is for my enjoyment. That’s the beauty of Diamond Back-you can get what’s period correct or you can get what you like. Custom whitewalls are not a problem. I offer many correct styles for the 60’s and 70’s cars or if you want something special, just let us know. My 2009 catalog features 16 product lines from 13” to 22” and anything in between. That’s more product than all the competitor’s combined. I’m also introducing two new top end product lines-the Diamond Back MX and the Diamond Back III. Both are built in North America by Michelin, the world’s most recognized tire manufacturer. If you’re going to spend over $200 per tire why not get the very best? Prices on the rest of my products will have a small increase and some will remain unchanged. Check out my warranty. It is the most solid, easy to understand warranty in the industry. My new extended warranty for $4.75 per tire is a smart move to protect your investment. As the year of the Great Recession begins, my goal remains unchanged-build the best looking, best performing product at a fair price. Thanks for all of your support! Confused and concerned about using radial tires on older rims? Get the facts ..
