<div dir="ltr">I was directed to a very interesting article this morning in <i>Canadian Business </i>about why Target's foray into the Canadian market failed - it was the data behind their products - "It didn’t take long for Target to figure out the underlying cause of
the breakdown: The data contained within the company’s supply chain
software, which governs the movement of inventory, was riddled with
flaws." The article is likely to be highly useful and memorable to business students. <a href="http://www.canadianbusiness.com/the-last-days-of-target-canada/?utm_content=buffer8e5c5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer">http://www.canadianbusiness.com/the-last-days-of-target-canada/?utm_content=buffer8e5c5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer<br></a><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 22, 2016 at 5:12 PM, Creamer, Andrew <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrew_creamer@brown.edu" target="_blank">andrew_creamer@brown.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I would also suggest contacting your colleague, Kristin Briney, who made this very useful post on this very topic: <a href="http://dataabinitio.com/?p=454" target="_blank">http://dataabinitio.com/?p=454</a><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Andrew</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">--</font></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#783f04"><font size="1">Andrew Creamer, MAEd, MSLIS <span style="font-family:Arial">| </span>Scientific Data Management</font><br></font></span></div><div><div><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" color="#783f04" size="1">Brown University Library <span style="font-family:Arial">| </span>Center for Digital Scholarship <span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></font></div><div style="font-size:13px"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#783f04" size="1">218 Rockefeller Library <span style="font-family:Arial">| </span>Providence, RI </font></span></div><div><font size="1"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#783f04">ORCID:</font></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> </span><font color="#cc0000"><span style="vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><a href="http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5286-384X" target="_blank">http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5286-384X</a></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> </span></font></font></div></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
