From the Paper:

"Office Depot is a household name with regard to being a supplier of office and business products to both the domestic and international markets. Yet, the success story of the company is limited with regard to the domestic share of the more than 300 billion dollar office supply market. Office depot in fact only demonstrated slightly over 10 billion of sales in the domestic share. Though this is as a result of twenty years of steady growth, with the company marking its 20th anniversary in 2006, the organization needs to garner more of this domestic market share to meet the expectations of shareholders and continue to develop its overall business, while simultaneously creating cost cutting practices that will serve for slower expansion but better overall sales in existing stores."
