Best Buy began its operations in 1966 by founder Richard M. Shulze. The company started its operations by a single radio shop called "The Sound of Music." By 1970, Sound of music was already successful and earning annual revenues exceeding one million dollars. The company was selling asa radio and Hi-Fi stereo and maintained a good status, until 1981 when a tornado hit one of the original stores. Tornodo damages its inventory. Inventory was sold from piles in the wrecked stores, it is known as the "Tornado sale," which became an annual event. Intrigued by the idea of selling things in a more non-traditional way, Shulze decided to change the company's name to Best Buy Co. and simply put product out on the shelf for customers to buy instead of behind a glass counter. This idea would find huge success and in a few decades time Best Buy Co. would become the electronics retail giant it is today.

Subsequently the human resource planning forms the summative pillar of organization's success and strategic decision making.
