TARGET PRESENTATION
Transcript: The Past The Future TARGET CORPORATION Bibliography Throughout our research of the Target Corporation we have found that it has a rich history, a prosperous present, and an opportunity filled future. The past was marked with a great entrepreneur in George D. Dayton taking over the Goodfellow Dry Goods Company, and along with the help of his children, and grandchildren making it into the successful company we know today as Target. Currently, we find that target has great success, not only with its financial aspects, but also with it's ethics, company management, and reputation. This being said, there is always room for improvement. Within that room for improvement we believe that Target could engage better in credit card security, and that Target could expand more internationally. In the future, our group has quite a few suggestions for Target. First off, we suggest a further expansion internationally. Although Target has opened up it's doors to the North in Canada, Target is yet to make it's presence felt globally. To expand business, we suggest that Target blows up, and attempts to widen it's influences to places like Mexico, Great Britain, and South Africa. We feel like these are great places to expand to. Secondly, we believe that gradually Target needs to attempt to regain the trust of it's customers. When there is a big scandal like what happened with Target in late 2013, there are going to be trust issues that come with it. For the immediate future, Target needs to fight off these issues to improve business. They already have made attempts by telling people affected they won't be liable for any charges. They can further build upon this by improving their security of confidential files and publicizing that they are making an attempt to become more secure. The Present George D. Dayton became president of Dayton Dry Goods Company after taking ownership of Goodfellow's dry goods company in 1903. After decades of success, and innovation, in 1962 Douglas J. Dayton decides to start up 75 discount department stores drawing from the success of it's past. These stores would be named Target, due to the company's goal of trying to be the consumer's target store. In 1978, after family ownership for 75 years, Donald, Wallace, and Douglas Dayton cede ownership and retire. In 1979, Target Corporation reaches a organizational milestone, earning a billion dollars in annual sales In March 2013, after expanding across 49 states, Target brings it's business to Canada opening 124 stores across the country.
