Just last year, a multi-million dollar deal created a merger between Albertson’s and Safeway grocery chains because competition by more wholesome supermarkets had been affecting their bottom-line profits. The failure of these supermarkets was a comment on consumer response to mass-produced food. Increasingly, we want our food to be natural and closer to what G-d created. This is what Tevye’s Ranch is doing.…
While Kudler Fine Foods’ vision is to be the premier gourmet grocery store for savvy customers, Kudler does not ignore their social responsibility, “Kudler Fine Foods uses only the finest organic ingredients. Whenever possible, we purchase local produce from organic farmers. We use unbleached flour in our bakery goods and we don’t add unnecessary preservatives to our products. Food is rotated from the shelves on an ongoing basis. Those items that are still in “good” condition are donated to local homeless shelters and food kitchens” (Apollo Group, Inc., 2007). It is through philanthropic acts that Kudler stays connected with its surroundings and establishes the groundwork of the business ethical culture.…
"Our mission is to be the consumer's first choice for food, delivering products of outstanding quality and great service at a competitive cost through working 'faster, simpler and together." (http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091121051929AAcbFT5)…
When Company Q has responded to requests from the community, it is either in a begrudging manner, shown by stocking only a limited amount of healthy, organic options after years of requests, or in a negative manner, by declining the request to donate excess items to those in need. In fact, the company demonstrates distrust of its employees and a lack of empathy for patrons of the food bank in justifying its response. With such an attitude, it’s not surprising that they recently have had to close a few stores – they are not acting like good corporate citizens, and it’s possible that such an attitude impacts its employees as well as its customers.…
Loblaw’s Annual Report introduces a concept that the organization operates solely on servicing customers as well as its employees. The “we are here to serve you” concept is a recurring theme throughout the whole report. This theme is introduced by informing the reader of the company’s mission statement and internal goals and carries those important points throughout the whole report. It encourages customers to stay loyal to the brand as well as promoting careers within the company. This is a positive theme for a company in the food industry because in today’s market it isn’t just about the products, the service is equally as important.…
Caring for is a service is something that goes beyond the four walls of an average grocery store. Whole Foods works individually directly within its own community and strives to service and meet the needs of the local environment. Community giving exceeds five percent (5%) of total net profit each year. Success of any organization is determined by whether-or-not the company’s objectives have been met. “The ultimate purpose of the enterprise is to produce output-the pattern of activities, behavior, and…

In 2008 I moved to Bluffton to help start a new aluminum remelt facility called Alexin. I was one of three invited to make the move from western Kentucky by the presidents of Alexin because of my knowledge of the industry, my reputation as a hard worker, and my positive attitude. In the past nine years a lot has changed. Even though I know longer work in the aluminum industry, I still pride myself on my knowledge, reputation, and attitude. The job has changed, but what it takes to be successfully in any occupation has not.…
Throughout my entire life, I have found that hard work and dedication can help me achieve any goal that I set. I have overcome the separation and lack of decent parents, incarceration of my oldest brother, and many other events with the morals and skills that were taught to me by my grandparents (who are my legal guardians). Due to their influence and love, I have always put my best foot forward and looked at the world with optimism. Since the second grade, I have been in gifted/honor courses, exceeded through my classes, and have made many friends. My backbone does not consist of selfish desires or influences; it consists of my morals and the family and friends that I do have pushing me to change the world.…

When considering my attributes as a medical school applicant, I am convinced that I would be a great fit for the Creighton University School of Medicine community. As mentioned in my previous response, I am from a Christian background and intend to continually pursue my relationship with God throughout my years in medical school. Seeing as though Creighton is founded in a religious tradition, my belief in God makes me an excellent example for the reinforcement of the Catholic tradition. My heart has been set on the pursual of good and helping others since a very young age which has led me to a career in medicine, a character trait that fits in well with Creighton University’s endeavor to improve the human condition. As well as my religious background and heart to serve others, I place a lot of emphasis on self-discipline and strive for excellence in all aspects of my life.…
y presence on the Hillsdale campus would be both unique, and mutually beneficial. The former, embedded in my very being, would, surely, draw attention to my individual character but, would also place me within a community that, is accepting, and full of like minded, individualized students. Therefore, since I feel, socially, I will fit in nicely at Hillsdale, I plan on pursuing many student run organizations and clubs, to become a part of vibrant Hillsdale culture. In particular, there are a few clubs I have already developed an interest for. Namely, The Creative Writhing Lab, The International Club, The Lyceum, and, perhaps, even The Chess Club- although my skills would certainly need improvement to serve as a competitive opponent.…
Ever since high school, I have struggled with school. After graduating high school, I graduated with a 1.7 GPA. I always knew I was an average student, so I accepted my GPA proudly. However after entering college, everything changed. I knew everything was going to be more difficult and demanding. Beyond all the hardships of academics, I was also going to have to pay for all of education by myself, because my parents could not afford it. This adversity made it extremely difficult for me to decide if I wanted to continue my education and enter college. However, despite my finical struggle I decide to continue my education and apply for college. I applied to Rockland Community College, where I wanted to work on increasing my GPA.…

Since I was a young girl, I have always been interested in STEAM activities from teaching myself simple math on my easel board, to singing along to the radio in the car, to constantly asking my parents to make a baking-soda-and-vinegar volcano. Once I started going to school, I would pretend to be a doctor and use a website called Ed Heads and perform virtual surgeries. Being the 6-year-old I was, I had no idea what the names of the bones in the human body were called, but the process of being able to diagnose patients and actually perform their surgeries was so amazing to me. I was fascinated by the books and puzzles my parents gifted me that taught me about the human body and how it works.…
