ONE:

In the summer of 1999, ToolsCorp began as a small appliance repair shop in middle Tennessee. Word began to travel throughout Tennessee about ToolsCorp’s ability to fix and repair major appliances at a significantly lower price and quality of work compared to the manufacturing companies.  ToolsCorp soon began to expand its operations by opening a large facility to not only repair but to manufacture its own products.  With the increasing population, gentrification, and explosion of new neighborhood developments, ToolsCorp soon became a competitive supplier in the southeast region of the United States.  In under a decade, ToolsCorp continued to grow, manufacture, and supply its products throughout the United States and Canada.  

Mission

– ToolsCorp’s mission is to become a worldwide household name by leading the appliance, power tools, and lawn furniture industry in the global market.  ToolsCorp wants to provide its products and service in efforts to expand its global operations to Europe, Asia, and Africa. 

Solution – ToolsCorp will form ToolsCorp International LLC that will be directed by its new newly created Global Operations Division.  All of ToolsCorp Eurasia International’s business will be transferred to a new headquarters located in the Free Zone district of Dubai, UAE. T

Market focus/Description – ToolsCorp is a major manufacture of power tools, lawn furniture, and appliances. ToolsCorp will focus on manufacturing products to Eurasia standards, such as appliances applicable to the 220v standards.  ToolsCorp’s New Business Division will also look to expand business in home renovation, contracts to supply new and old business and work with small business in efforts to buy or create new partnerships.

Competitive Advantage – ToolsCorp will compete directly with Bosch, Stanley Black & Decker, Stihl, DeWalt, and locally owned companies.  ToolsCorp will have the competitive advantage because we will create jobs, use environmentally friendly standards, participate in joint ventures withs NGOs and the local government to fund and build schools. 

Risk/Opportunity – The greatest risk associated with ToolsCorp is having a delay in profit because of licensing in transport and trade, local laws, and transportation access. ToolsCorp will overcome these risks by working directly with local governments in efforts to speed up the process for the business service. One of ToolsCorp biggest opportunities includes developing long-lasting relationships with its international clientele. 

Financial Projection and Plans – ToolsCorp plans on increasing its international business to over 50% and the company’s overall profit will double.  By contracting local labor, ToolsCorp will reduce costs by 50%.  The company will gain momentum over the next decade pushing its profit well into a positive index for years to come.

TWO:

ToolsCorp Corporation is a home goods store that sells their own products in the United States and Canada. ToolsCorp produces kitchen appliances, patio furniture, and lawn mowers.The purpose of this project is to showcase the company of how things run within the company. This way the company can look back and see what they need to work on or see if they are succeeding in different areas. There will be a SWOT analysis of the company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, a mission statement will be compiled, key operating principles, market analysis, and strategic initiatives. 

The planned process is to divide the work with the teammates and use course materials and peer reviewed online sources. Once everything is collaborated, then everyone’s work will be on the same paper and lastly create the executive summary, resource page, introduction, and conclusion last. The actual processes that the team has done is everyone is doing their own work and in the end come together and everyone has a say of what is good to fit in the paper or what needs more work. The team has used different competitions’ web pages for inspiration. The team has used mostly online database articles that are peer reviewed. 

The team has found accurate examples for the SWOT analysis. Strengths are honorable brand name and mindful customer service, for example. The weaknesses and opportunities, for example, are a lack of global expansion since ToolsCorp is in the process of expanding. It would be a great opportunity for the company to expand and make partnerships and new customers. Threats would be dealing with diverse governments and out of the company’s hands, unless they follow the laws strictly. The mission statement follows all nine components and highlights all the company’s strengths and its products. The key operating principles will magnify all that company has to offer and what they stand for, such as employee oriented and environmentally friendly. These are the components that the team has so far.

The recommendation for the project would be maybe a little more clarification on what is asked on the assignment for each bullet. Some are clear and some need some more clarification.

THREE:

ToolsCorp was a small repair shop that fixes home appliances and lawn mowers. They began in middle Tennessee which has been greatly affected by a booming economy. ToolsCorp swiftly began to grow in business and made the decision to open a larger facility that would begin to manufacture products of its own. ToolsCorp already known for large home appliances decided to also manufacture lawn mowers, lawn furniture, and power tools. Soon after their manufacturing business began, they became the supplier to most parts of North America (US and Canada). ToolsCorp is currently trying to break into the global marketplace.  

Market Analysis: The power tool industry has grown to a significant 32.5M globally since 2018. Their projected growth is expected to raise another 4.8% by 2027 (Khandelwal). This market along with the home appliance market has easily become ToolsCorps biggest asset. The Lawn industry has grown in market size as well but are expected to have the highest growth rate of all other ToolsCorp industries before 2027. 

Competitors have become very aggressive in their approach to gain competitive advantage. ToolsCorp will utilize a research group to gain competitive advantage over its competition. The findings from this group is to penetrate the battery market and become a true competitor in the battery-operated power tools and lawn mowers industries. The competitors have used companies such as Hitachi Ltd., Honda Motor Co., and Toro to gain advantage over their competitors (Chinchane). ToolsCorp will conduct more research into which battery developer they will create a strategic partnership with.
