George Bradts "advises" JCPenney’s new CEO, Myron Ullman what to do first and next. 
Cecilia Sagote's curator insight,
April 9, 10:52 PM
George Bradts (Author's) recommendation for Myron Ullman CEO is a valuable one - One of his suggestions re: her 100 day plan to cease business at JC Penny is that they "begin communication to prepare people for acquisition, while keeping them engaged in the current business."
This would be emphasizing 'relationship marketing' in this strategy - which involves creating, maintaining and enhancing long-term relationships with individual customers and stakeholders for mutual benefit. As evident in this article, JC Penney are due to close down as underwear is very much available at competitor outlets. It is a reflection that consumers desire Superior customer value - whether it be better brand, comfort or simply the convenience of location of the other stores.
This is the reason for the "quick shut down". As article states, the longer they fight to survive, the less value will remain when they finally cease to exist.
Brandts suggestions of constant communication to keep value of JC Penney up when they do shutdown is part of this 100 day pan and should be implemented: Communication - over-communicate to the broader group to keep people engaged and informed as appropriate. Delete the scoop?
