In the course of the most recent decade, no occasion has impacted the housing market more than the worldwide financial downturn that started in December 2007. Amid this seismic financial move, alluded to as the Great Recession, many, if not the vast majority, confronted a bunch of uncommon challenges. The subprime contract crumple prompted numerous individuals losing their homes and monetary stagnation. Americans confronted money related debacle as the estimation of their homes dropped well underneath the sum they had obtained and subprime loan fees spiked. Month to month contract installments relatively multiplied in a few sections of the nation. Much of the time, borrowers were in reality better defaulting on their home loan advances instead of paying more for a home that had dropped sharply in esteem. Thus, home building saw a huge decrease, bringing about a confined supply of new homes for a consistently developing populace. The absence of supply and the expanded request saw the land condition transform into a vender's market. More individuals were currently pursuing less homes, which expanded home costs.

2007 Housing sales
Decrease in housing sales
Current housing sales
In 2007 the price to purchase a home on average was less than it
was now due to the crash of the housing market. However, even
though there were less home buyers, the price of homes did not
decrease as you thought it would. The cost of living dropped for
a short time, but by 2009 the market was already starting to see
a balance in cost of living. By 2011 due to the Housing Reform,
the market price was climbing back to what most people
expected them to be.

Housing bubble
Supply
Demand
A housing bubble is a run-up in housing prices fueled by
demand, speculation and exuberance. Housing bubbles usually
start with an increase in demand, in the face of limited supply,
which takes a relatively extended period to replenish and
increase. Speculators enter the market, further driving up
demand. At some point, demand decreases or stagnates at the
same time supply increases, resulting in a sharp drop in prices
— and the bubble bursts.

7. Housing market crash
Loss of jobs
Supply
Increase of Demand
The crash of the housing market was caused by the loss of
almost 1 million jobs to various professional industries causing
the loss of many homes thus driving the housing market into a
downward spiral. The rise of the housing marking (bubble)
began in 2011 with the Housing Market reform under the Obama
administration. The reform was created to help bring jobs back
to America helping lower the unemployment rate and allow the
demand for housing to increase. The increase in demand would
create jobs for the construction industry and real estate industry
while driving the market back up to a healthy state.

Prior government policies and legislation
Community reinvestment act (cra)
Fannie mae
Freddie mac
The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac, punishment free renegotiating of home credits,
assess inclinations allowed to home value acquiring, and
lessened capital necessities for banks that hold home loans and
home loan supported securities (MBS) have all debilitated the
benchmarks for giving home loans and the lodging money
framework itself. Faulting ravenous brokers, bumbling rating
organizations, or different performers in this uncommon show
misses the point, maybe intentionally, that administration
approaches made the motivating forces for both a lodging
8. bubble and a diminishment in the bank capital and home value
that could have alleviated its belongings. To keep a repeat of
this fiasco, it would be far superior to change the ruinous
government lodging approaches that conveyed us to this point
than to sanction another administrative administration that will
frustrate a brisk recuperation and impede future monetary
development.

Fiscal and monetary policy

Monetary policy is principally worried about the administration

and is by and large completed by national banks, for example,
the U.S. Central bank. Fiscal policy is the aggregate term for
the exhausting and spending activities of governments.
Fiscal policy influences total request through changes in
government spending and tax collection. Government spending
and tax assessment impact business and family unit wage, which
direct customer spending and speculation. Fiscal approach
impacts the cash supply in an economy, which impacts
financing costs and the swelling rate, the fiscal policy put in
place make an impact on economic growth. Additionally, money
related arrangement impacts business extension, net fares, work,
the cost of obligation and the relative cost of utilization as
opposed to sparing.

When organizations leverage to the full potential of being
transparent in their process as well as ensure the free flow of
information, most of the organization efficiencies can be
eliminated or reduced. Operations Consulting a research work
that leverages data and analysis to provide organization

Operation consulting can reduce such inefficiencies by looking
through the data and identifying issues and creating strategies

Experienced and effective operations consultants will help your
12. organization meet its operational goals much faster and more
thoroughly than it would without support. Once a consultant of
operations determines the way procedures are accomplished,
together with the reasoning of the organizational configurations
and processes, the consultant will then offer advice regarding
improving different operational functions. Operational functions
mean accenting current strategies and methods which benefit the
organization, and at the same time indicating areas in need of
improvement (Joost, 2016).
Organizations recognize substantial savings via program and
vendor management, vendor agreements, self-service
resolutions, and decreased technology customizations. Rewards
service distribution models are constant change. Organizations
and regulatory changes drive the need for administrative
changes, and program design must respond to current needs and
anticipate new ones. In today's continually changing regulatory
environment, it's crucial to create controls as well as operation
metrics to evaluate compliance risk, detect opportunities for
enhancement and act on them (Joost, 2016).

Drop in in-store traffic
Drop in on-line sales
Store closings
Employee lay-offs
Meyersohn (2018), "Barnes & Noble (B&N), already reeling
from the messy departure of its chief executive, said on
Thursday that same-store sales fell 6.1% last quarter compared
with a year ago. The company attributed the decline to a drop in
in-store traffic. Online sales also dropped 14.3% because of
fewer promotions, including in Barnes & Noble's Nook tablet
business. Barnes & Noble's overall losses widened to $17
million. The combination led to a sell-off in Barnes & Noble
(BKS) stock. The weak quarter came as other retailers were
capitalizing on a healthy consumer economy, and it was another
sign of a company in serious trouble. Barnes & Noble which has
more than 600 stores in the United States and 23,000
employees, has been trying to trim expenses and grow revenue.
But it may not be able to turn the business around" (para. 1).
Digital online marketplace has taken over every single
14. retail store by storm. Digital stores provide the convivence of
purchasing goods at the best price from different vendors. Local
bookstores which were a marvel in the past is now vastly
impacted by online book retailers like Amazon and Apple.
Barnes & Noble, once a leading bookstore, has been severely
affected by online retailers, causing their sales to go down
every year for the last four years. The stock price has been
dipping as well as several stores are getting closed, causing
layoffs of employees (Wahba, 2017). According to Wahba
(2017), "It has closed about 20 a year in recent years" (para. 4).

Decline of Barnes & Noble
According to Ilwareed (2018), "As a bookseller, B&N has
struggled on the one hand to keep up with the speed and
15. ubiquity of Amazon, and on the other, to attract people to stores
the way small, local indies have. It's also suffered from the
decline of US shopping malls. In the last earnings call, Riggio,
the B&N founder, and the chair said the company still needs to
figure out new store sizes and layouts, and that its recent
venture into restaurants was not successful" (para. 2).

Some of the core inefficiencies can be co-related to the
Operations Consulting 5P's. Plant, People, Parts, Processes, and
Planning, each of which contribute to the operational
efficiencies. Some of the Barnes and Nobel operational
16. inefficiencies are with the plant, process, and planning. Plant
efficiencies relate to the Nook tablet brand, which as the worst
failure when compared to larger brands. Also, Barnes and Nobel
were late in the game going digital and let the competition take
over the marketplace. According to Lutz (2014), "The company
blamed its poor sales on competition from Apple's iPad and its
failure to release a new tablet." (Para, 2).
