Best Buy Inc. 
Best Buy Inc. is one of the biggest providers of consumer electronics. It is a top rated 
company of Fortune 500 and the largest specialty store in the US within its sector. The 
company has market pie of 21%. The company is not only present in the US but in China, 
Canada, and Mexico. Founded in 1966, Best Buy Inc. is a public company, listed as BBY in 
New York Stock Exchange. The company was founded by Richard Schulze and is 
headquartered in Richfield, Minnesota. The success story of Best Buy Inc. has been 
phenomenal. It has come a long way to become the largest specialty store in the US. The 
company is on an expansion spree and has some expansion plans on the edge of their sheets. 
In 2008, the company has revenue in excess of $40 billion, with $12.7 in assets. The 
company had approximately 150,000 employees in the same year. These figure themselves 
tell the success story of the company. The company is still on the growth path and inclined to 
become the largest specialty store of consumer electronics in the world (Tatge, 2004).   
The US market has turned into capitalism’s antithesis in times of crisis, adopting a 
socialism perspective in wake of artificially correcting the market. The Security and 
Exchange Commission’s existence does not make it a free market. Earlier, it was a free 
market but after the crash of New York Stock Exchange, SEC was introduced to have control 
over the market. Best Buy Inc. finds it a suitable market being a native company. The 
company has planned its expansion to operate over 1800 retail stores across the globe and 
1400 of them will be in the US only. On the other hand, Canada is a free market and the 
organization can trade in any capacity. They are free to produce any products and services in 
any quantity.  Also, they can sell their products or services at any price and the government 
has no interference. However, in a market economy the government can interfere if it is not 
working efficiently. Best Buy Inc. operates both Future Shop and Best Buy retail stores label 
products and stores in Canada. The company has a very aggressive strategy in the country
