Hi All! I'm writing a paper and thought I'd try to get some more ideas/thoughts.
Topic is the future of Sears Holdings Corporation (SHC) and whether or not it will survive the next 10 years.
I have all my ideas outlined and pretty much know the direction of where I want to go on the paper but would love to hear some of your thoughts.
If anyone would like to share please feel free to answer;
1) What is your hypotheses on how the future of Sears should look (or if they even have a future in today's market)
2) What are some specific elements of this 'future os Sears'
brand identity
organisation of store in different worlds/categories
top services/technologies
selling concept/service model
seasonal themes and flex space
3)Short list of dept store and specialty store concepts to benchmark around the world?
Or feel free to just comment about your overall perception of Sears and Before/After (how you felt about it 10 yrs ago versus present day).
Thanks so much. |

| Revisit your branded strategy. Recognize that as you get smaller manufacturers are less likely to fawn over Kenmore. DO NOT get caught up in this stupid 'Mega Holiday' promotional strategy, just be good every day. And be careful about changing your labor model in appliances. |

The ticker is SHLD, not SHC.
It will hobble along with a mediocre profit and too much debt. At least they make a profit. They'll be around in 10 years but Sears is a shadow of its former self and will probably remain so. |
