How Woolworth developed their information strategy

Abstract

Woolworth was financially restructured about two years ago. Following this the board started to implement a new commercial strategy; this required a radical change in the company's information services. Attention was focussed on the operational systems — warehousing, distribution and forecasting, rather than administration and support activities.
