Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on : the Home Depot Company. It needs to be at least 1000 words.

The final competitive strategy is focus on efficient capital allocation procedures that ensure the continued satisfaction of shareholders and stakeholders in the business, expense control, and maximizing shareholder returns. The target customers for Home Depot are divided into four main groups for the effective attainment of the company’s strategy. The first group of target customers is Do-it-yourself (DIY) customers (Home Depot, 2010). This means that the company focuses home-owners who prefer to purchase the company’ products and perform their own installations and configurations for the products. The second group of target customers is Do-it-for-me customers, or customers who acquire the company’s products then get a different person to configure, install and complete the projects. The company works with these groups of target customer by collaborating with independent contractors to perform the services needed by the customers. The last, and probably biggest group of customers, are professional customers, who engage the services of The Home Depot for the provision of their needs. This group of customers includes repair people, remodelers, business owners, and a host of other professional customers who seek professional service. ...

The main threats that these two companies pose is the threat of market share capitalization, which refers to the percentage of the market that the company controls. In the consumer market industry, a company has to utilize an effective competitive strategy to ensure that the clients of the company services remain loyal to the company. Therefore, the threats posed by the main rivals to The Home Depot’s operations include threat of customer separation and loss of market share.
