Growth and Structure Provide an Integrated Portfolio of Services at FedEx
Many companies have goals designed to achieve growth and diversification of the markets they serve, both product and geographical. These long-term goals are often maintained even during economic recessions such as that experienced at the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century. Growth can be achieved by developing new products and services internally or by acquiring other organizations. Growth by external acquisition has been popular because it is often a faster and less risky means of achieving the desired growth. FedEx’s corporate strategy involved both of these approaches.
In 1971, Federal Express Corporation was founded in Little Rock, Arkansas. Early in its history, FedEx used internal development to achieve rapid growth. By 1983, Federal Express had achieved $1 billion in revenue; it made its first acquisition in 1984, Gelco Express International, launching its operations in the Asia Pacific region. Five years later,
Federal Express purchased Flying Tigers to expand its international presence. That same year, Roberts Express (now FedEx Custom Critical) began providing services to Europe. In 1995, FedEx acquired air routes from Evergreen International with authority to serve China and opened an Asia Pacific Hub in Subic Bay, Philippines, launching the FedEx AsiaOne Network. By 1996, FedEx Ground achieved 100 percent coverage in North America.
In 1998, FedEx acquired Caliber Systems, Inc. and cre- ated FDX Corporation. This series of acquisitions made FedEx a $16 billion transportation powerhouse. But the acquisitions and growth continued. In 1999, Federal Express Corporation acquired Caribbean Transportation Services. In January 2000, FDX Corporation was renamed FedEx Corporation. Also in 2000, FedEx Trade Networks was created with the acquisitions of Tower Group International and World Tariff.
In 2001, FedEx acquired American Freightways; in 2004, it acquired Kinko’s for $2.4 billion and also Parcel Direct; and it completed its acquisitions in 2007, with its purchase of Chinese shipping partner DTW Group in order to obtain more control over and access to services in secondary Chinese cities.
As suggested by the large list of acquisitions, FedEx’s strat- egy to achieve growth was realized. It also diversified the c ...

Creating Federal Express
Frederick W. Smith founded Federal Express in 1971 after writing a college paper about the need for an airfreight shipping system for time-sensitive deliveries. After a period in the military, Smith started Arkansas Aviation Sales and realized the difficulty of getting packages delivered within 1-2 days. This motivated him to found Federal Express to provide fast and reliable shipping. Federal Express grew rapidly through acquisitions, becoming one of the largest cargo airlines and express shipping companies in the world.
FedEx
FedEx was founded in 1971 by Frederick W. Smith with 389 workers and an initial investment of $84 million. It was the first company to offer money-back guarantees if a package was not delivered on time. FedEx now has over 425,000 employees and handles 3.4 million packages daily using a global hub and spoke system with 669 aircraft and 43,000 vehicles. The company focuses on meeting customer expectations through a people-first service and profit philosophy.

UPS faces challenges in hiring for its Information Services department due to poor existing skills and the need to adapt to new technologies. While internal promotion is preferable given UPS' values of developing existing employees, external hires could provide new skills and ideas. However, external hires would require more time to adjust to UPS' culture. Considering UPS' emphasis on teamwork and promoting from within, the document recommends hiring internally for Information Services and training existing employees on new skills. This allows UPS to develop talent while maintaining cultural alignment.
