...Part I: Brand Inventory – Company View History and Corporate vision Inspired by authentic ingredients and the economic model of one local taqueria store in San-Francisco, Steve Ells began to open the first Chipotle store in 1993 at a former Dolly Madison ice cream location near University of Denver campus. The first Chipotle was a wide success. After two years since the first Chipotle opened, Steve added the second and third Chipotle locations. In 1996, Chipotle Denver area restaurant opened. Following the extraordinary successes, Chipotle was able to invite more outside investors to expand the scale of production to give way for the Chipotle’s openings outside of Colorado: Minneapolis, MN, Columbus and OH. After Steve visited some individual local farms, he found out pigs were raised in air-opening area as opposed to the way majority of pigs were raised. So he decided to dg pork and chicken naturally. Chipotle went public on New York Exchange in 2006. After that, Chipotle still kept focusing on providing the most authentic and healthy ingredients within each burrito. His vision is to serve 100% naturally raised beef in the near future. Moreover, Steve promoted to eliminate the antibiotics in ranching. From the year Chipotle opened until now, it has always been emphasizing on pursuing high-quality ingredients and cooking techniques to provide best eating experience for customers and fulfilling corporate social responsibilities.

KFC outlets opened in Hong Kong in 1973 but were all closed down within two years. The company would eventually win the confidence of Hong Kong customers ten years after its first entry. In Taiwan it experienced relatively smoother development, although KFC headquarters was to spend a huge amount of money and effort in order to get the ownership back from its joint venture partners at a later stage.4 This case was written by Gabriel Szulanski, Professor of Strategy at INSEAD, Weiru Chen, Assistant Professor of Strategy, and Jennifer Lee, Research Associate.

BARTLETT Documento para uso exclusivo no AESE-SORBONNE 2013 (2013-06-18) ARAR HAN Levendary Café: The China Challenge Levendary Café was spun out from private equity ownership in January 2011, and the following month, Mia Foster was named as its new CEO. The departing CEO, Howard Leventhal, was the beloved founder of the popular chain of 3,500 cafés. He had grown a small Denver soup, salad, and sandwich restaurant into a $10 billion business, but after 32 years was moving on to new interests. This was Foster’s first job as CEO. Previously, the 47-year-old had been president of the U.S. business of a large American fast food company for seven years. She had started her career at a major global accounting firm, leaving to earn an MBA from Wharton. Upon graduation, she had become a consultant at McKinsey before taking a job in product management at P&G, where she worked her way up the ranks. Foster was known for her frank communication style and strong execution. In spite of the promise held by the Levendary brand and Foster’s strong track record, Wall Street was cautious about the stock. While the company’s fundamentals were strong and its performance generally in line with management forecasts, its shares traded at a discount to comparable restaurant stocks. There were two reasons for this. First, analysts were concerned that Levendary’s domestic business was nearly tapped out. Second, given Foster's lack of previous...

...Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you can’t very well expect anyone else to. Have confidence that your ideas are worthwhile and that your reader genuinely...
