Situational Analysis

Kohl’s corporation is faced by one major problem. This problem lies is in its performance specifically in the financial sector that is form the year 2012 and 2013. The corporation’s income level has dropped drastically over two years. This drop is evident form the sales of the corporation as well as the operating and the net income of the corporation. For instance, the corporation’s net sales dropped from 19279 in 2012 to 19031 in 2013 (Farfan, 345).

The drop in Kohl’s corporation’s sales is what has affected the income level of the corporation. The drop indicates that there is a problem may be with the marketing department. May be a good market analysis was not done properly and therefore the goods and services of the corporation could not sell well in the market. In addition, the drop in sales of the Kohl’s corporation could be as a result of introduction of a new commodity which was not marketed well before been introduced into the market.

Article

The peer –reviewed article I have found is entitled Walmart’s Struggles in India: How Institutional Contexts Can Limit Foreign Entry. This article provides information on the case of the Walmart Corporation in India whose entry into the foreign market has been limited by contexts that are more institutional than ideological. This limit has forced the corporation to remain within the regional and national scope. The relevant page from the Ulrich’s website for this article is volume XIII issue I Fall 2012. Globalization trends have heavily impacted on the social relations of corporations. The article clearly shows that there are components that shape the development of corporations internationally (Mallika, 23-47).
