Summary
From the Paper:
"First, it is clear that one of the greatest international strengths that Home Depot has is the successful development of their Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries. Despite the increasing growth in these markets and the fact that Home Depot is the #1 home improvement retailer in Canada with 155 stores, there is still major upside potential for the company in this market. Home Depot employs 27,000 associates, generates $5B in Sales and has posted a 17.5% compound annual growth rate in sales within Canada alone."Sample of Sources Used:
