The Sears Transformation Story Provides a Valuable Lesson for Samsung Industry Sears ? Sears Sears & Industry Sears 1992 1997 2000 1945 1982 1886 Birth Growth Leadership Inflection Point Transformation Continuous Renewal • Founded in 1886, it essentially starting the retail concept of large department stores with a full line of merchandise and catalog business • Core competencies: its adaptive ability to understand and serve changing consumer needs • Grew rapidly reaching $1B in sales in 1945 and $41B by 1985 • Became the dominant U.S. department store • Created “brand power” • Became too inward-focused, self-absorbed • Began diversifiying • Centralized and bureaucratic policies • Ignoring new breed of competitors • Results: Losing market share, financial performance declining, shareholder losing confidence • Brought in a new CEO • Embarked on a turnaround program : • focus on core business • customer focus • greater local market focus • improved cost structure and productivity • organizational and cultural renewal • Despite huge success, continue to renew and adapt to changing environment, e.g., the connected economy • Continue to finetune its customer focus • Continue to refine its value proposition and go-to-market strategies
Sears Defined the American Retail Industry • First broad scope retailer offering products not readily available to the general public • Set the “Gold standard” of retailing in US, offering unheard of money-back guarantees and free trial offers • Grew rapidly reaching $1B in sales in 1945 ($9B in 1998 dollars) and $41B by 1985 ($63B in 1998 dollars) • One in five Americans shopped at Sears regularly • Employees were extremely loyal, and were rewarded with the best profit-sharing programs in the country • Created the catalog industry in US • Undercut profit margin of the “general store” to save money for consumers • Created “Brand Power” -- Sears became a household name standing for high quality at a fair price • Sears developed popular private label brand names including Kenmore appliances, Craftsman Tools and Diehard batteries Retailer Catalog Brand “Sears is the paragon of retailers. It is number one, in the United States, and number two, three, four and five” - Fortune Magazine, 1960s Source: Company web site, Hoovers, HBR Sears, Roebuck and Co. Stanford Business School Case, 1997, EY Analysis
Success Has Made Sears Complacent, However, and it Grew Out of Touch with the Changing Retail Marketplace Customer-distant decision making • Headquarters controlled stores, yet did not work closely enough with them to understand their environment • Bulletins were written about every process--employees were not allowed to make any decisions Distracted • Owned a conglomerate of unrelated companies including Allstate Insurance, Dean Witter Investments, Coldwell Banker Real Estate & Discover Credit Card Ignored true competition • Sears was stuck in the past -- they did not catch on to emerging retailing trends • Did not see Wal*Mart & K-Mart entering into their retail space • Considered only JC Penney & Montgomery Wards as its competitors Misjudged target customers • Thought its target customers were male • Targeted advertising and promotions towards men Ineffective performance management • Employee compensation did not align with corporate objectives Confused positioning • Unfocused response to new competition left Sears with an undefined strategy -- it was not a discounter (e.g., Wal*Mart) or a high end department store (e.g., Nordstrom) • “We didn’t know if we wanted to be a discounter, a department store, a specialty store or a mass merchant” - Arthur Martinez, CEO Source: Home Furnishings Network, 9/30/96, EY Analysis

The Initial Vision Was Then Translated into Specific Objectives and Measures Financial Results Employees Customer • Environment for personal growth and development • Support for ideas and innovation • Empowered and involved teams and individuals • Great merchandise at great value • Excellent customer service from the best people • Fun place to shop • Customer loyalty • Revenue growth • Superior operating income growth • Efficient asset management • Productivity gains Objectives • Personal growth and development • Empowered teams • Customer needs met • Customer satisfaction • Customer retention • Revenue growth • Sales per square foot • Inventory turnover • Operating income margin • Return on assets Measures Source: EY Analysis
Sears Rediscovered Its Target Customer Discovery Before • Management perception of target customer: • Thought target customers were male • Targeted advertising and promotions towards males • Core customer: • female • middle class (annual income of $25,000 - $60,000/yr.) • middle age (24-54 yrs. old) • head of household • mostly mothers “We had a company run by guys who thought they were in the “dirty fingernails” business of autos and hardware. There was no singular view of Sears target customer.” - Arthur Martinez, CEO “This was a big discovery. Unless we made the store more attractive to her, we weren’t going to break out of the box we were in.” - Arthur Martinez, CEO Source: HBR Sears, Roebuck and Company Turnaround, 1998; EY Analysis
Sears Then Refined Its Value Proposition to Meet the New Target Customer Value Proposition + + Product/Services Image Relationship • Added new departments such as cosmetics and jewelry for women • Expanded apparel offerings • Increased national brand products • Improved underdeveloped sections such as petites • Increased customer wallet share by offering multiple types of services and products to target customer • Rolled out the “Softer Side of Sears” advertising campaign, targeting the female customer • Communicated that Sears is changing--it offers more merchandise than just appliances and hardware • Renovated fixtures and lighting to give a more classy appearance • Redesigned stores to provide a more contemporary environment • Expanded selling floor space in stores by redesigning back rooms • Increased touch points with customers by expanding stores into neighborhoods with hardware and furniture stores Source: HBR Sears, Roebuck and Company Turnaround, 1998; EY Analysis
Believing That Employees Are an Important Part of the New Strategy, Sears Invested Heavily in Employees Employees Help Improve Performance Match Compensation with Performance Communicate Strategy • Town Hall Meetings • Held sessions in which all employees met in small groups of around ten • Learned about the industry, Sears and why Sears needed to transform • Improved Employee Selection • Developed interview selection tools to help managers hire employees with the correct skill sets • Determined new skills and attitudes needed to realize the new vision and revised new hire profiles accordingly • Decision-making/Empowerment • Gave front-line employees more authority to act on their own discretion to provide more responsive service to customers • Improved Training • Opened Sears University to teach courses essential for the operation of the transformation • Courses available to managers and above • Decreased Bureaucracy • Decreased bureaucracy by eliminating cumbersome policies and replaced with broad guidelines called “Freedoms and Obligations” • Stock purchases • CEO was required to invest five times his salary in Sears stock, and executive board was expected to invest three times their salary • Top 200 managers had to purchase their salary in stock • Total Performance Indicators (TPIs) • Compensation based on TPIs initially rolled out to top 200 managers • Eventually all managers above store level had compensation based on TPIs • TPIs were broken down with 1/3 based on each of employee, customer & financials • Goal sharing • Associates given the opportunity to earn variable incentive pay based on customer satisfaction Source: HBR Employee-Customer Profit Chain, 1998 ; HBR Sears, Roebuck and Company Turnaround, 1998; EY Analysis
To Monitor Progress, Sears Developed a Comprehensive Performance Measurement System Measuring Rewarding • Defined a balanced portfolio of strategic objectives along three critical and complementary perspectives: employee, customer, and shareholder • Developed a cause-and-effect model of how those objectives influence each other • Made sure that the model included drivers of future growth (“leading indicators”) • Used that model to develop key measures (Total Performance Indicators - TPIs) so that measurement would influence behavior • Wherever possible, defined a quantitative metric for each TPI, and where possible, confirmed statistical correlations in the cause-and-effect change • Monitored progress against TPIs using individual and shared goals, and used the results to finetune the list of TPIs • Linked performances against TPIs to compensation, using both individual and group goals and incentives. Compensation was linked to non-financial as well as financial performance, and the three perspectives were given equal emphasis • Cascaded compensation link from top management (Phoenix team, then top 200 execs, then down through middle management above store level, and finally to management teams in the stores as the TPIs proved themselves). Goal sharing was tried on a test-basis to cascade compensation links to the salesperson level Source: EY Analysis

Despite Success, Sears Continues to Renew itself to Adapt to the Changing Environment, e.g., Connected Economy • Entered into e-Commerce • Launched Sears.com • Focusing on appliances first, then will expand into hardware & tools, lawn & garden, and consumer electronics • Sears aims to be the definitive online source for the homeowner • Reorganized Executive Office • Created a chief executive office composed of current CEO Martinez and two finance/merchandise specialists • Will allow Martinez to focus on full line store needs and reduce the number of people reporting to him • Increased Store Sovereignty • Shifting more control of stores from headquarters to the local stores, so they can better react to their customers’ individual needs • Altered Store Environment • Hired one of the country’s top fashion photographers to create displays and specialty shops within the department stores Source: Context Magazine The Cyberside of Sears, Sept/Oct 1999, Chicago Tribune 9/19/99, Crain’s Chicago Business 9/6/99, Dow Jones, EY Analysis

These Three Forces Are Destroying Old Solutions. . . • Markets and industries will be defined in terms of CUSTOMERS rather than products • Market power will shift from suppliers toward CUSTOMERS • More reliance will be placed on flexible, customized marketing and INTANGIBLE elements of the value proposition • Product life cycles will shorten • The need to choose between a high volume/low cost strategy and a niche/differentiation strategy will disappear • Maximizing the number of transactions with the same loyal customer by offering a diverse array of products and services will become increasingly important • The most productive business strategies will be cooperative, not competitive • Organizations will rely more on decision teams and parallel information processing and less on individual decision-making and sequential information processing
