NYT > Home Depot Inc.
Since its founding in 1978, Home Depot and its orange-smocked employees have ruled the American home improvement industry, making it the second-largest retailer in the country, after Wal-Mart.
But now the chain is at a crossroads. After years of staggering growth, it faces stiff competition from Lowes and it has struggled to weather a downturn in the housing market.
Home Depot has faced internal challenges as well. In 2000, hoping to avert a slowdown, its founders, Arthur Blank and Bernard Marcus, put the future of the company in the hands of a former top General Electric executive, Robert L. Nardelli.

At first, Mr. Nardelli appeared to be the kind of savior investors craved. He doubled Home Depots annual sales and constructed a new wholesale business, called Home Depot Supply, that focused on professional builders, theoretically insulating the company from swings in the housing market.
But Mr. Nardelli could not lift the companys languid stock price, ran the chain with an authoritarian style that drove away experienced managers and demanded a lavish pay package -- a fatal combination that led to his ouster in 2006.
Since then, his successor, Frank Blake, has tried to undo Mr. Nardellis legacy. He sold the wholesale supply business, which had come to be considered a distraction from Home Depots struggling stores, and invested heavily in recruiting a top-notch store staff. Employee morale has rebounded, but in August 2007 it reported a year-on-year decline in earnings for the fourth consecutive quarter.
Mr. Blakes first major move, the sale of the supply division, was marred by troubles in the credit market. Originally priced at more than $10 billion, it was eventually sold on Aug. 28, 2007, for $8.5 billion. - Michael Barbaro, Aug. 28, 2007
