businesses are successful.

Introduction
In this assignment I will include the features contributing to the success of the
non-profit company Save The Children and the private company Sports Direct. I
will be explaining the different types of ownership and liability as well as the
purpose of each of the businesses. I will also explain the sector of each business,
size and their reason for success. As the report asks for two contrasting
businesses, the organizations I have chosen are Sports Direct and Save The
Children. The reason for this is because they both have their own individual
purposes for existing and have various forms of business sectors within them that
ensure their own success.
Background of Sports Direct
, Mike Ashley’s Sports Direct is the UK’s largest sports goods retailer, operating
around 950 stores worldwide with 600 in the UK. Founded in 1982, Sports Direct
has grown into a multi-retailer company that owns everything from department
stores House of Fraser and Flannels to preppy fashion brand Jack Wills and
computer game retailer Game. It also owns sports brands such as Karrimor,
Kangol, Slazenger and Lonsdale. Sports Direct has set itself a goal to transform the
business into the “Selfridges of sport”, developing new generation stores to
showcase the best products and improve customer experience. The retailer is also
currently undergoing a store rationalization programmed in the UK, closing
smaller stores and relocating to larger flagships, which will see the total number
of stores decrease but selling space increase. In November 2019, Sports Direct
announced it will rebrand to Frasers Group.
