In recent years they have gone through significant changes including a new CEO Brian Cornell and the closing of their Canadian stores. With change comes a new strategy, which includes growing stores in the United States. In order to be able to continue to grow Target should consider multiple strategic options. Using internal and external analysis, while examining Target’s profitability ratios recommendations were made to proceed with their growth both in profit and capacity. After recommendations are made implementation and contingency plans can be made.

IN the COURT of CHANCERY of the STATE of DELAWARE in Re
IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE In re PEPSIAMERICAS, INC. : Consolidated C.A. No. 4530-VCS SHAREHOLDERS LITIGATION : VERIFIED CONSOLIDATED CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT Plaintiffs Philadelphia Public Employees Retirement System (“Philadelphia PERS”), The General Retirement System of the City of Detroit (“Detroit General”), The Police and Fire Retirement System of the City of Detroit (“Detroit P&F”), the City of Ann Arbor Employees’ Retirement System (“Ann Arbor”) and Beverly Rosman (“Rosman,” and collectively with Philadelphia PERS, Detroit General, Detroit P&F and Ann Arbor, “Plaintiffs”), by and through their undersigned counsel, upon knowledge as to themselves and upon information and belief as to all other matters, allege as follows: NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. Plaintiffs are holders of common stock of PepsiAmericas, Inc. (“PAS” or the “Company”). Plaintiffs bring this action individually and as a class action on behalf of all holders of PAS common stock other than the defendants and their affiliates. Plaintiffs seek injunctive and other equitable relief in connection with the proposal of PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) to acquire all of the PAS’ outstanding shares that PepsiCo does not already own for a combination of cash and stock valuing PAS at $23.27 per share (the “Proposed Merger”). 2. PepsiCo simultaneously offered to acquire Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (“PBG” and with PAS, the “Companies”) at $29.50 per share, and has made consummation of a merger with either bottler contingent on consummating a merger with the other. PepsiCo’s offers are timed and structured to favor PepsiCo and promise a paltry 17.1 percent premium over the closing prices of the Companies’ stock on April 17, 2009, the last trading day prior to PepsiCo’s announcement of the Proposed Merger. -
St John's University Undergraduate Student Managed Investment Fund Presents: Target Corporation Stock Analysis November 11, 20
St John’s University Undergraduate Student Managed Investment Fund Presents: Target Corporation Stock Analysis November 11, 2003 Recommendation: Purchase 300 shares of Target stock at market value Industry: Retail Analysts: Jennifer Tang – [email protected] Michael Vida – [email protected] Share Data: Fundamentals: Price - $39.15 P/E (2/03) – 21.63 Date – November 6, 2003 P/E (2/04E) – 21.96 Target Price – $44.58 P/E (2/05E) – 22.95 52 Week Price Range – $25.60 - $41.80 Book Value/Share – $11.03 Market Capitalization – $35.40 billion Price/Book Value – $3.60 Revenue 2002 – $43.917 billion Dividend Yield – 0.72% Projected EPS Growth – 15% Shares Outstanding – 910.9 million ROE 2002 – 17.51% Stock Chart: Executive Summary After analyzing Target Corp’s financials, industry and future outlook, we recommend the purchase of 300 shares of the company’s stock at market order. As a leading discount retailer, only behind Walmart, Target has made considerable growth in the industry over the past few years. Target offers an array of merchandise from women’s apparel, household products, toys and even food. One of the strengths of Target lies in its development of private brands, which helps create a strong image of the store in the customers’ minds. The company is able to further lower its costs through direct sourcing, buying merchandise at lower prices and strengthening its bargaining position with suppliers. While Target Corp hasn’t seen as much success with its other operations of Marshall Fields and Mervyn’s as it has with its namesake store, the company plans to invest resources into these two areas to turn around results. -
Target Corp.: Making Work Fun, Fast and Friendly1
Journal of Business Cases and Applications Volume 17 Target Corp.: making work fun, fast and friendly 1 Alix Valenti University of Houston-Clear Lake ABSTRACT This is a decision case involving Target Corporation. It is based on a field study of a Target store in Houston, TX, including several interviews with its Human Resource Team Leader, its Store Team Leader, and two Executive Team Leaders. Additional data were obtained from Target’s website as well as two other websites providing pay information. High turnover among employees in the retail industry is well-known. In this case study, the problem was illustrated by Target’s need to maintain high levels of customer service and its desire to increase customer participation in its “REDcard” credit card program. The Human Resource Team Leader noted in the case study that Target paid its cashiers less than what they could earn at other nearby retail stores. However, the facts of the case indicated that turnover at Target was not greater than the national average. Thus, students are asked to consider other non-monetary rewards that would attract and retain workers at Target. Key words: compensation and benefits, total rewards, incentive pay, employee motivation, employee turnover Copyright statement: Authors retain the copyright to the manuscripts published in AABRI journals.

Inspiring and Preparing Young People for Success
Inspiring and preparing young people for success 2017-2018 Mission Report Nathan Ziegler, principal of Hope Academy, and his students. Read his JA story on page 14. Dear Friends, As we reflect on this past year, we’re energized by what we’ve accomplished thanks to your investment. Junior Achievement has experienced incredible growth, innovation, and success. We’ve impacted more students, joined with more educators and schools, and partnered with more volunteers. We’ve piloted two new programs — JA Inspire and JA Meda Fellows — to equip students with the skills needed to succeed in the workforce and start a business. We inspired the creation of 74 student-run companies through JA Company Program, an increase of 23% over last year. We’re always looking for new ways to motivate young people to envision a successful future and to gain the skills needed to be contributing members of our community. Our partners are instrumental in keeping us relevant, innovative, and engaging! Today’s youth are our future; their success is our success. As we look forward, we’re excited by what’s ahead. In 2019, Junior Achievement will celebrate its 100th year. Very few organizations make it to 100 years, much less continue to grow and thrive as Junior Achievement has. Celebrate with us – watch our centennial video at https://youtu.be/fKAvHJ9vcek. Locally, Junior Achievement of the Upper Midwest is also experiencing a milestone next year. We’re moving our experiential learning center to St. Paul. The Junior Achievement James R. and Patricia Hemak Experiential Learning Center will have two experiential learning labs instead of one, allowing us to double the number of students participating in JA BizTown and JA Finance Park. -

Past Award Winners 2007
GPLA booklet 04 new 9/28/04 6:59 PM Page 37 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency • U.S. Department of Energy • Center for Resource Solutions 2007 Green Power Leadership Awards The 2007 Green Power Leadership Awards are hosted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States Department of Energy (DOE), and the Center for Resource Solutions (CRS). EPA and DOE recognize leading green power purchasers and green power suppliers respectively. CRS recognizes leading organizations and individuals building the market for green power. The Green Power Leadership Awards for purchasers is a recognition program of the EPA Green Power Partnership, a voluntary program working to reduce the environmental impact of electricity use by fostering development of the voluntary green power market. The Partnership provides technical assistance and public recognition to organizations that commit to using green power for a portion of their electricity needs. Partners in the program include Fortune 500 companies, states, federal agencies, universities, and leading organizations around the country that have made a commitment to green power. For the 2007 green power supplier and purchaser awards, two panels of judges reviewed nearly 100 nominations through a national competitive review process. Purchasers were evaluated based upon the size and characteristics of their green power commitment, ingenuity used to overcome barriers, internal and external communication efforts, and overall renewable energy strategy. Recognition of these companies falls into three categories: On-site Generation, Green Power Purchasing, and Green Power Partner of the Year. Suppliers were evaluated based on the following criteria: technologies utilized, total sales, evidence of annual audit to verify procurement and sales, amount of green power supplied, and number of customers served. -
