Costco Responses to Disruptions of Covid19 Pandemic Crisis Discussion

 

To do a project that explores company responses to disruptive external events. In particular, students should identify an industry and company (The company I have selected here is Costco, where you should access its annual, 10K, and quarterly reports). That have faced severe disruption in recent years and should identify what the company should do in response. While the most obvious disruptive force in recent years has been the covid crisis.

Question: Identify at least two significantly different scenarios for the future of the INDUSTRY(ie, the entire retail industry) as it deals with the disruptive force and / or its aftermath. (Can be good or bad. What I mean here is that the retail industry such as Costco seems to have a good growth side to the pandemic as well as a bad side such as labor shortages, etc. Of course that’s just my suggestion.)

The essay should be about 600 words and should with additional exhibits as necessary(For example, a trend chart or relevant data that supports the argument. Most of them can be found on the company’s financial reports.)
