- the company overlook the key factors (pricing) that set them apart from its competitors in the US market (Wallmart)
-  it had highly ambitious goals in such short period of time.
- its strategic manager did not adress the problems on time. ]]> 2021-09-02 16:48:21 UTC https://padlet.com/wding4/qq4n2rnn578oqtzq/wish/1713243402 https://padlet.com/wding4/qq4n2rnn578oqtzq/wish/1713244251 Flawed point-of-sale system]]> 2021-09-02 16:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wding4/qq4n2rnn578oqtzq/wish/1713244251 giging20 https://padlet.com/wding4/qq4n2rnn578oqtzq/wish/1713253500 Inappropriate pricing]]> 2021-09-02 16:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/wding4/qq4n2rnn578oqtzq/wish/1713253500 Target Canada https://padlet.com/wding4/qq4n2rnn578oqtzq/wish/1713256577 Distribution Centers were slow and inaccurate.

- Operational: Their system was not fit for Target Canada requirements (Money conversion)
They did not have enough inventory to stock shelves to full capacity. 
-Doomed from the start: Fisher was rushing the process from the jump by overworking employees and setting unrealistic expectations. In an interview, he said the only thing he would do differently was renegotiating the real estate contracts.]]> 2021-09-02 16:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/wding4/qq4n2rnn578oqtzq/wish/1713258432 Consumer Demand https://padlet.com/wding4/qq4n2rnn578oqtzq/wish/1713260668
Consumer demand wasn't sufficient enough because there were already plenty of retailers established.

Target faced a lot of pressure regarding timing and technology. They weren’t able to meet the established deadlines. 
-There was no match between supply (inventory problems) and demand (insufficient demand)
