Dr.-Ing. Thomas Roeb M.A. 8 9th Juni 2016 HS Bonn-Rhein-Sieg - [email protected] The key reason for baumax´ failure lay elsewhere: in its expansion into Eastern Europe baumax: foreign operations 2014 and starting year 65 • foreign expansion was too fast (on average one new country per two years in the years 1992 - 2010) • foreign expansion into the wrong countries (Eastern Europe and Turkey), the potential of which was over- and the crisis underestimated: in 2014, 6 of 8 foreign markets were hopelessly loosing money. Only the first two markets CZ and SK were profitable • wrong focus of management, e.g. in 2012 out of 5 VPs only one for sales/purchasing, the others for finance, real estate, social issues and art (!) 24 14 15 15 7 8 7 3 Austria 1992: 1992: 1993: 1995: 2000: 2006: 2008: 2010: Czech Slovakia Hungary Slovenia Croatia Romania Bulgaria Türkei Rep. 4th Global DIY-Summit Prof. Dr.rer.pol.

  • Review of the Competition Between Diy Store Chains in Hungary
    Delhi Business Review ? Vol. 11, No. 1 (January - June 2010) REVIEW OF THE COMPETITION BETWEEN DIY STORE CHAINS IN HUNGARY Zsófia Balló* T is only fifteen years that the first Do It Yourself (DIY) store opened in Hungary. It was then a novelty that building materials became available not only at the building material depos, which I previously had the monopoly on the field, but at home decor stores, too. However, Hungarians quickly grew into the habit of ‘getting everything under the same roof’. Thus, just as the hypermarkets which sell fast moving consumer goods, DIY stores chains also began to develop dynamically. In this article after highlighting the competitors, researcher will determine the market and the target group; then researcher move on to analyze the coverage of DIY store chains in Hungary, along with the range of services they offer, and their marketing activity. Researcher will devote special attention to the characteristics of high marketing value that make a DIY chain unique on the present market and deliver advantage in competition for long term. Key Words: Do It Yourself Store, Consumer Satisfaction. Introduction It is only fifteen years since the first international Do it yourself (DIY) store opened in Hungary. It was then a novelty for building materials to become available not only at building material depots (widely known as Tüzép), which previously had the monopoly, but at home improvement stores too. Stores with huge floor areas selling fast moving consumer’s goods (FMCG) also appeared in the early 1990s, so the idea of stores offering the products found in various specialist shops in the same space was completely new for consumers.
