The business we chose to focus our project on is Publix Supermarkets. On Sept. 6, 1930, founder George Jenkins opened his first store, called Publix Food Store, in Winter Haven Florida. Today Publix has grown to be Florida’s largest employer with 168,500 employees and run 1,080 stores. Total sales in 2013 were 28.9 billion, relatively large for a regional corporation. Their mission statement is “To be the premier food quality retailer in the world,” and they’re doing an excellent job at it.
Mission statements will ensure that shareholders, employees and customers clearly understand what the company stands for. Mission statements also describe the organization’s overall goals. Mission statements should be written in a way that when someone reads the statement, they have an understanding of the activities that are performed in the organization. In this paper I will compare the mission statement of Chick-Fil-A Foundation with my personal mission statement. Chick-fil-A Foundation Chick-fil-A Foundation is a non-profit organization that’s sole purpose is to provide leadership and guidance to children and also support education in the local communities.

It could offer different products that are low-calorie but taste good, opening up new franchises in warmer states would help boost sales. Jamba Juice offers different smoothie options, boosts, and shots that most of its competitors don’t offer. I recommend adding new flavor to the steel- cut hot oatmeal that was a huge success after being added to menu. Jamba Juice unique menu listing keeps the customers attention and provides sales growth.
Their mission statement
A huge sum has been invested, so now it is really crucial for the product to succeed. Moreover the current product mix is not sufficient to bring long term profits for the company. As far as short term goals are considered, management wanted a successful launch for the product which will provide the right marketing and target of the new product line. While the long term goals involved adding variety and diversity to the product line to achieve a long term sustainable growth rather than just achieving short term

A good mission statement is both inspiring and meaningful (Forehand, 2000). The mission statement for Integris Health inspires employees to do their best for the good of the company and their community. By having a broad mission statement, it can be applied to different healthcare settings in not only the metropolitan area but rural areas across the state. One function of human resources is to hire new employees (Mathis, Jackson, & Valentine, 2013).

Paragraph: In this document, Renato Sesana is expressing his ideas of creation if products on a very formal way. And tries to persuade the reader to understand what many companies try to attract.

If companies sold whatever products they wanted it would not be sold because it is what they want, not the people.
But product differentiation requires a lot more efforts in research and development as
In the recent years more and more companies in the retail and food industry are concerned about the environmental consequences of their action and also the social ethics for the people involved in the production process. This is a shift from the philanthropic actions companies used to take in 1970’s and by following basic international standards to a ‘business case’ perspective of CSR (Customer Social Responsibility). According to the World Business Council for Sustainability Develpoment ( WBCSD) CSR is: ‘’ the commitment of business to contribute to sustainable economic development, working with employees, theirfamilies, the local community and society at large to improve their quality of life’’ (World Bank, 2002)
This strategy rests on the choice of a narrow competitive scope within an industry. The focus strategy has two components. (a) In cost focus, a firm seeks a cost advantage in niche market, (b) In differentiation focus; a firm seeks differentiation in its target segment. Examples are car manufacturers like Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, and Bentley. These companies target a niche market and manufacture the cars according to the customers required specifications.
