Whole Food Case Analysis
The case analysis should consist of two parts:
1. Analysis of how Whole Foods is managed
a. Provide a general introduction of how well you do or do not think that Whole Foods is managed based on what youve learned thus far in class.
b. Apply two concepts from class to your analysis.
Define each concept and explain its relevance to the management of Whole Foods.
Give specific examples from the case for each concept.
Summarize to what extent management of Whole Foods does or does not reflect the concept that you chose.
2. Make one specific recommendation for how to improve the management.
a. Your recommendation should relate to your analysis in Part 1.
b. Your recommendation should be specific. For example, do not just say that managers should communicate better or manage better. Be specific about your recommendation.
c. In making your recommendation, consider feasibility and implementation. How feasible is your recommendation? How would it actually be implemented?
2 sections: Analysis & Recommendations
Analyze the ways in which Whole Foods management demonstrates concepts studied in class. Concepts can include motivation, rewards systems, teams, organizational culture, structure, strategy (Pfeffers 13 principles) and anything else relevant. Be sure to discuss and apply at least two class concepts in your analysis.
What recommendations (1-2) would you make to Mackey concerning Whole Foods strategy going forward?
Again, be specific in your analysis and recommendations and base them on class concepts.
Case analyses should be typed, 12-point font, double-spaced, 3 page long.
