What would the head office need to do (strategies to improve the communication of brand values and identity, improving the consumer omni-channel brand experience etc.)?

^{- Hobbs provides well-organised omni-channel environment.
- On the official website, Hobbs not only services product information but suggests various events customers can enjoy wearing Hobbs clothing, shoes and accessories}

nikita784 — 2018-11-06 12:41:33 UTC

What would the middle management and the business functions need to do? (like HR and recruitment, finance and in-store investment, branding and marketing communications etc.)

^{- Given the nature and environment of concession store, the middle management need to prepare a specific product strategy such as a “selection and concentration”
- Hobbs in John Lewis & Partners is not spacious and selective merchandising needed.}

nikita784 — 2018-11-06 12:43:30 UTC

What would need to happen on the ground (operations) in the actual stores? (Store management and branding, customer service, experience of the sales assistants – manner, knowledge etc.

^{-Provide customer assistance at the floor level as there was no one to attend to the consumers at our visit
-have a more diverse collection, limited options
-create impressive visual merchandising strategies since it was quite basic}
