...The food industry has throughout history been subject to government regulations at national and local levels, which aim to protect the public health and safety of food, regulate trade unions and prevent mislabeling with regard to formulation and content. Governmental organizations have controlled product entry, the way food has been marketed to consumers and the manufacturing practices of food. The most enduring problem in the food industry has been the case of adulteration, which refers to the cheapening of products by adding impure and substandard ingredients. This has posed a threat of unsafe food in the market and a health risk to consumers. Regulations have therefore been necessary to protect consumers from low quality and harmful products....

...starts with a purpose. Researchers must first diagnose management’s issues before addressing the “how” and “what” of the solution (Cooper, 2014, pg. 16). Simon Sinek (2011) proposed that organizations neglecting the question of “why” and focusing more on the question of “how” and “what” starve themselves of opportunities for success. The purpose behind our actions is the most important quality of any system – and it goes the same for research. Without solid purpose and vision, practices seem confusing and unnecessary. Clarify the reason for research and the process can begin to flow. There are many good examples of purpose within organizations – but few as good as Whole Foods. Founded in 1980, by Craig Weller, John Mackey and Mark Skiles, a mission was born (Whole Foods, 2010). With a conviction for consumption of natural foods, these men wanted to share their vision with the world. They began their initiative in Austin and have grown to 374 locations globally all with the same mission in mind (Kowitt, 2014). Likewise, they have positioned themselves as number 55 on a list of the top 100 companies to work for (Moskowitz & Levering, 2015). When visiting a website, it is not difficult to find an “about us” tab or “our story”. However, Whole Foods explicitly streamlines their mission statement as well as the eight core values vital to their existence. These core values illustrate the countless hours spent researching who their core demographic is. Whole Foods isn’t just a...

...Whole Foods is a large international organization with thousands of employees. In the case study, the co-CEO John Mackey explained that the purpose of the organization was a heroic one. He explained that its highest purpose was “try and change and improve the world.” In order to accomplish that goal, he and the team members need to work in coordination to accomplish that goal. So McGregor's Theory Y in Organizational Behavior is prevalent in the way they do business. Management at whole foods is really just the mechanism to help find and bring people into the organization that assist the organization in achieving this goal. He recognizes that employees that are engaged, have the ability to make decisions and are able to do so effectively, and ultimately translates into conscientious customer service are ultimately more happy. When the staff is happy, their level of service is better, and then customers are happy, which equates to more revenue, and more profits (presumably) and in turn results in happy shareholders. It is a perpetuating evolution in business. True efficacy of this theory would dictate that the management team has the versatility to hire in the way they want, and to leverage resources that give them the greatest opportunity to achieve the goal of finding the right people but that subject was not broached in the case study. Whole Foods recognizes that the success of their organization and its ability to achieve profitability and shareholder value is...

...Capitalism Conscious businesses focus on their purpose not their profit. As stated on the Conscious Capitalism website, “By focusing on a deeper purpose, a conscious business inspires, engages and energizes its stakeholders. Employees, customers, and others trust and even love companies that have an inspiring purpose” (http://www.consciouscapitalism.org/). It is not always about the money. A conscious business cares about its employees, suppliers, investors, community and the environment. The first of the four tenets of conscious capitalism is that a business has a greater impact on the world when it is based on a higher purpose rather than profits. Core values are essential, and should be the foundation of how a business should operate. The core values of a business are those values on which they perform work and conduct themselves. Higher purpose and core values are at the center of a conscious business. Sometimes businesses become so preoccupied with making money, they forget their purpose (Mackey & Sisodia, 2013). Whole Foods Market depicts an organization that deems core values to be what is truly important to them. Their core values include selling high quality products, satisfying the customer, supporting team members, increasing shareholder value, care of the community and the environment, partnerships with their suppliers, and promoting health through healthy eating. Whole Foods Market puts higher purpose and creating value for the stakeholders into every...

...The Whole Foods Case – Vision, Mission, & Strategy Chris Kourcklas, Jason Scibona, Kurt Hill, Rhett Edwards, Stephanie Houser, Trudy Schwartz Introduction Founded in 1980 by CEO John Mackey, The whole foods market evolved to become one of the largest natural and organic supermarket chains in the world. By 2010 Whole foods had 298 stores in 38 states including 6 in Canada and 5 in Great Britain. Whole Foods has maintained a positive growth every year, but how did Whole Foods achieve successful growth with competitors like Wal-Mart and Target knocking at the door. Mackey believed marketing organic foods would transform diets all around the world. He was determined to launch winning strategies, clear strategic visions and excellent structure of core values, which matched world market conditions. Winning Strategy Whole Foods Market’s strategic challenge is focused on overall company growth. Their vision is to have growth coming from customers, team members, investors, suppliers, sales, and giving to communities. Their strategy excels over their organic competitors, is adaptable in extreme economic conditions and continues to maintain their profitability. To be successful a company must have a winning strategy. A winning strategy focuses on three tests. These three tests include: The Competitive Advantage Test, The Fit Test, and The Performance Test. If all three tests pass Whole Food Market has a winning strategy. Zaridis (2009) noted that “competitive advantage...
