Employee contributions are definitely welcomed and will be acknowledged regardless of the person’s point of view. 9. Distinctive competence; well not knowing a great deal about this type of business I would have to say that Whole Foods is outdoing its competitors since they are in fact the largest in the world. Their team empowerment and creativity coupled with core values are most likely what led this organization to the top. I feel that their mission statement is a direct reflection of their philosophy and takes the organization from Point A to Point B.
End Vision First, I think that implementing a good management plan by the upper level management is very important for KFF’s to succeed as a company. Having a replacement inventory coordinator who purchases the best possible products for all three stores, Also, having a person who controls the accounts payable, receivables, and finances that coordinate all vendors get paid on time will allow Kathy Kudler to focus more on duties that need more attention. For instance, implement a better website for the business will give better benefits to customer, therefore, sells will increase. The company needs to understand the difference between having a website and having an effective website. The website that is in place in KFF only displays the goods and services.
This has proved to be hugely successful as they forge longtime customer relationships. Salespeople at Nordstrom will do everything they could and even beyond to give the customer perfectly customer service. A salesperson who gives individual attention to customers like assisting a customer with one leg that wants the sale of only one shoe is on a self-service level. The level of full-service entails salespeople that assist customers with the locating of products those are not located within their store, and their exchange policies that have no questions to ask customers when they are making returns. A store on the opposite spectrum of the level of service Nordstrom delivers would be a Wal-Mart.

I think that for the most part Best Buy has lived up to their mission statement, because they are at the intersection of technology and life. I believe this to be true because they offer some of the newest technology in their store and it is place where people can actually interact with salespeople in real life.
Fast delivery is the value proposition of Dominos to its customers. This is achieved by the store locations, service of the meticulously trained employees and the ability to deliver on the promotional promises. Domino’s value proposition offered customers strong appeal and uniqueness (timely and reliable delivery at low cost). Customers valued the speed and service over the quality of the product. (Although David Brandon made significant improvements in the quality of the product during his tenure as CEO.)

Make it intelligent by gathering information to better serve the customer.
On November 7, 2013 I had the pleasure to hear Joseph Kinard speak about socially responsible investing. I was pleased to hear that such a concept even existed because I am a person who is always researching the products I use and trying to figure out who made them, where they actually come from, and what type of standards and morals that company has. I believe in the mission of being socially responsible while investing from a consumer standpoint and from the business angle. I understand exactly that by pleasing the customer you are bound to make more profit because there is no revenue without consumption. I loved the fact that Mr. Kinard spoke about taking care of what you have been given and gave Costco as an example.
