Target: US and India-compare and contrast





Target-India





Target USA

Compare and Contrast:
The Target-India website, offers interesting about the retail stores in Bangalore. But it does not as many different areas to navigate as the US site. By navigating through the sites, you could see the differences. I could say the site for India is very standard, and the one for US, is very complete, different, full of information, history, links, images, and among others things. It is not about which one is more pretty, but about what each one has to offer the person navigating through each one. I could see that Target-India site, does not offer: investors information to see the performance of the stores as for the stock market. The similarities are among the colors, design, and for links like: About us, FAQs, Careers, and a lot of informative news on the site about the stores.
