Homework Help: Solved 101669

I don’t understand this Business question and need help to study. Read the “Staples” case, answering the TWO questions. The case “Staples” is label as C58-C70. In some instances, cases dealing with well-known companies end in 1998 or 1999 because no later information was available when the case was written. If possible, do a search for more information on what has happened to the company in subsequent years. Many libraries now have comprehensive Web-based electronic data search facilities that offer such sources as ABI/Inform, The Wall Street Journal Index,.. These enable you to identify any article that has been written in the business press on the company of your choice within the past few years. A number of non-electronic data sources are also useful. ANSWERING QUESTIONS ONLY: The question is in MLA format, one page, single space. 1. Why was Staples able to raise significant venture capital funds for what was, after all, nothing more than a concept? 2. Does the expansion of Staples into the delivery business make strategic and economic sense?
