If you have an interview at Best Buy
The dossier is the short way to know its strategy before you walk in: the decisions that defined Best Buy and why it made them, 5 years of its results, and what it says in its own filings about its workforce, its deals and its competitors. It works the same way before a client meeting or a pitch.
The analyses it carries
- Best Buy Beat Showrooming by Surrendering on Price. Then It Won on Everything Else.
- Best Buy Killed Commissions in 1989; Five Suppliers Still Control Roughly 55% of What It Buys
- Best Buy Could Install the Hospital in Your Home. It Couldn't Get the Hospital to Pay.
Each analysis is free to read on the site. The dossier puts them together with the numbers and the filings, in one document you can keep.
