Best Buy Mission Statement

In this essay I’ve chosen Best Buy as my organization to write about. I like shopping at Best Buy so I thought it would be interesting to learn a bit more about the store.

This has increased their customer satisfaction and given them an advantage over their competitors in the market place.
