“I see brands as people. They are never static, not even when they sleep. Brands should
know well enough about themselves to evolve, change, and innovate before the market
takes action. Moving ahead the flow is always the key. ”

A taste of
Who we are
"Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me.
You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something
themselves, they want to tell you you can’t do it. You want something, go
get it. Period. All right?” – The Pursuit of Happyness

Analyzing the market:
economy
Aspects affecting the US economy
•  Shrinking European economy and Euro-zone (Russia, Italy,
Germany)
•  Ongoing political unrest in Ukraine
•  Expectedly increasing interest rates from Federal Reserve
Despite this …
•  The real GDP, the best measure of economic standing, is
increasing.
What does that mean to Office Depot & OfficeMax?

Increasing consumer spending
•  “Nearly 3 million jobs in 2014 were set to add in 2014— the biggest increase since 1999. The burst
in job creation, expected to continue in 2015, is sure to fuel consumer spending” – Jeffry Bartash,
VP, Summit Investment Advisors

Analyzing the industry:
office supplies
Annual Industrial Growth from 2010-2015:
- 4.4%
Reasons includes:
•  Falling demand
•  Changing digital landscape
•  Fierce external competition
•  Increasing labor costs

20
Analyzing the
culture:
1. Digital and Online Shopping (Ecommerce)
•  Most of the customers are purchasing office supplies online instead of visiting the stores
•  informational search may sometimes be performed on mobile devices such as phones and tablets
2. Time-saving and Convenience
•  With the fast-paced economy and evolving technology of retailers such as one-click purchase,
customers favored retailers that could provide quick and convenient purchasing methods.
3. Price-consciousness
•  Customers were reported to generally shop office supplies for the best price, especially for business
customers as cost saving would aggregate while they buy in bulk
21
Ecommerce
22
Analyzing the
culture:
4. Integration of technology in office
•  With increasing adoption of technology in the office, owning office furniture and supplies that
accommodates different technologies is imperative. Workstations with cable management, storage
for components and removable backs provide stationary workstations a clean and clutter-free look.
•  Professional integration of new visualization and multimedia technologies into meeting rooms is
becoming ever more important. Standardized installation solutions for cabling, presentation and
networking are state-of-the-art.
5. Customization
•  Customers are expected higher degree of customization not only the products’ design, but also the
service from retailers.
23
6. Sustainability and Cost-saving
•  When it comes to design, offices are going (and staying) green by using recycled fabrics and products that
emphasize sustainability.
7. Collaborative Working Environment and Mobility
•  Laptops, portable desktops and tablets that enable employees to move freely in and around the office not
only offer a healthier alternative to traditional working environments, but also ensure constant workflow
and productivity regardless of how the landscape of your day shifts.
•  Short stand-up discussions: with the support of high tables and stools – do not only make sense from an
ergonomic point of view, but also have a positive impact on communication itself. Studies show that they
are generally more targeted than standard, seated, discussions (e.g. study by the University of Missouri on
the growing significance of stand-up meetings).
Analyzing the
culture:
24
8. Increasing emphasis on design and creativity in office
•  The big IT companies are setting an example, and more and more firms are jumping on the bandwagon.
Whether at Google in Zurich or Microsoft in Vienna: all the senses are set to work and dusty old
perceptions of offices are abandoned. At times, meetings may take place in a cable car or talks may be held
in a comfortable lounge. This extravagance is not, however, an end in itself but serves a higher objective:
innovative energy needs social friction in a creative environment.
•  Varied and distinctive colors and materials are expected from customers for office supplies.
Analyzing the
culture:
25

•  Migrating Small Business Customers to Online and to Other
Competitors
•  From an article from Business Insider dated on February 5,
2015,
•  Kean, the owner of a property broker that employs 10
people in the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, said he
stopped shopping regularly at the nearby Office Depot
(&OfficeMax) years ago and only buys from Staples
when they advertise a really good deal.
•  "For normal stuff like paper, pens, folders and ink, I go
to Costco and Sam’s …I think most small business guys
do the same thing," Kean said.
After all,
We see a situation…
31
… but We also see an opportunity
A growing need and demand for office
supplies in large corporations to feed
their expansion plans either nationally
or globally.
“… analysts say the merged firm should be able to keep, or even
strengthen, business serving larger firms directly… “
– Business Insider, February 5, 2015

Tiffany joined IBM as a Junior Global Procurement Professional
Assistant 2 years ago after she graduated from Boston College.
She is mainly responsible for assisting purchasing items for the
organization including Technology Products, Software, and office
supplies etc. Ordering office supplies always goes to the last item
of her to-do list but bothers her the most because, currently she
followed her previous superior to order supplies from several
vendors for cost and benefits considerations. But she found this
process very inefficient and time-consuming, and the quality of
the supplies varies.
She talked to her supervisor about that and the team agreed with
the problem. But they are too busy to do the research from
scratch and come up with a solution.
Outside of work, she loves hiking and kickboxing to release some
stress from her tense job.
Meet tiffany – The Multitasking Young Working Professional

What we know about
the target customers

•  Pleasing their boss and fellow colleagues would be a means to an end. 34
What matter to the
target customers
•  value

•  quality & cost worthiness

free them to spend the time on the other more important issues
35
What the target customers
think of you
They see Office Depot & OfficeMax as a brand for individuals who care quality over cost but
not for a large corporation, as it is more expensive. So Office Depot & OfficeMax never come
into the picture when they are performing initial stage of research for supplies of the company.
Indeed, they failed to realize the amortized cost reduction and the benefits of better-quality
office supplies, both for the corporation that they are representing, and for themselves as an
individual.
