You are the new Chief Operating Officer (COO) in the acquisition scenario below. Scenario: Harry’s Sporting Good’s is one of the largest sporting goods retailers in the country. Harry’s began as small store in San Diego in 1947. The first store was opened by Harry Cleaver after returning from the war and the company has remained in the Cleaver family. Harry’s two sons took over the company in 1985 and have led the expansion to over 1000 stores nationwide. In the past few years, the shift to online buying has caused Harry’s to close a few stores. However, the company recently aggressively implemented online sales for 100% of their products, and they have begun to grow again. Harry’s largest competitor is Champion Sports, based in Boston, MA. Champion Sports has a similar story to Harry’s on a smaller scale. The company has just over 300 stores in the Northeast and South. Champion’s management team foresaw the shift to online shopping and implemented  a very successful website before the rest of the industry. As a result, they have continued to grow, and over 50% of their current revenue comes from online sales. Seeing the potential for exponential growth and synergy, Harry’s Sporting Good’s just reached agreement to acquire Champion Sports. The deal is scheduled to close in the first quarter of 2025. The new company, operating as Harry’s Sporting Goods, will be the largest sporting goods retailer in the country. The combination of Harry’s larger storefronts and supply chain with Champion’s online presence is expected to yield phenomenal results. You have just been promoted to Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Harry’s Sporting Goods, Inc. You went to college with one of Harry Cleaver’s sons and have worked at the company since you graduated. You started working as a warehouse supervisor but have held a number of positions with increasing responsibility over the years. Just prior to your promotion, you were Senior Vice President/Southwest Regional Manager with responsibility for all aspects of the business in the Southwest region, including management of over 300 stores and 4,000 employees. Your leadership was instrumental in bringing the merger with Champion Sports to the table, and it was one of the major reasons you were promoted to COO. As COO, you are now responsible for all aspects of the company’s operations. Your first responsibility will be to oversee the completion of the acquisition of Champion, bringing the people, processes, and systems of the two companies together. You report directly to the President/CEO, as do the EVP/Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the EVP/Chief HR Officer, and the EVP/Chief Technology Officer (CTO). All of the SVP/Regional Managers report to you, as well as SVPs for Supply Chain, Real Estate/Stores, and Marketing. Analyze the scenario above and respond to the Management Process Problem questions:  What is/are the problem(s) Harry’s Sporting Goods is trying to solve with this acquisition? What are the primary business functions affected by the problem? What resources are needed? Who is/are the key manager(s) involved in bringing the two companies together? As the new COO, what is your recommended solution / COA to complete the acquisition and merge the companies? What situational / contextual elements should be considered?
