CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS CVS should form another committee that focuses on creative new ideas that can be instituted, lest the competition should begin to offer similar services as their firm. Perhaps this could be a less formal committee than the existing ones. It may be a good idea for the members to meet at each others' homes or in eateries. The more comfortable environment may help the involved parties to express new ideas without feeling pressured to do so in as time-sensitive of a manner as a more formal meeting Strong earnings and cashflow, coupled by disciplined authority. Shareholder Value CAPITAL SPENDING TREND -CVS came across an advantageous growth opportunity in 2006 when the chain decided to buy hundreds of properties that were once known as OscoDrug™ stores.
