Food (in)justices and the other presented issues are all around in society today.

Whole Foods takes the time to invest in each individual as the company knows that the investment will ultimately be returned and multiplied not only to the enterprise and the company’s purpose but to individual

Abstract To succeed, companies like Wal-Mart must deal responsibly with employees, suppliers, customers, competitors, governments, and the general public. The two key concepts of this responsibility are ethics and social responsibility.

Liedka (1991) suggested that many managers find themselves forced to choose between preserving their relationship with the firm and following their own values. Tetlock (1992) showed that individuals confronted with complex problems view a justifiable decision as the most socially rational, demonstrating the power of perceived organizational norms.
