Chipotle Mexican Grill Is a

Consumers of fresh Mexican food tend to be relatively young, urban or suburban, and they tend to be slightly more affluent than consumers of mainstream Mexican (i.e. Taco Bell). As such, Chipotle customers place more value on the quality of their food and are willing to pay more for freshly-prepared foods. For Chipotle, the objective is to have consumers perceive Chipotle as higher quality than its fresh competitors, so emphasis is placed on ethical meats, dairy without growth hormones, and on superior food quality as a distinguishing characteristic.

Right now, Chipotle is expanding by adding new stores in previously untapped areas. All of the firms against which it competes directly are relatively small by QSR standards, so there is something of a race to establish market dominance. The brand, however, is critical to establishing such dominance. Building new stores is a slow, expensive process and while it should remain a…… [Read More]

Chipotle Method of Conduct

company's code of conduct that are of significant importance to the business, and explain why.

Chipotle is by a far a leader in its division and a leader among all fast-food restaurants in general. Chipotle is truly unlike any other Mexican restaurant in its category. Other Mexican restaurants like Taco Bell and Del Taco use extremely processed ingredients that are known for having lots of fillers and preservatives. The food is known to be high in fat, cholesterol, and trans fats. Furthermore, other fast-food Mexican restaurants engage in the standard practice of having the food prepared in the back of the restaurant, away from the gaze of the customer. Chipotle is different in the respect that they prepare the food right in front of the customer, so that the customer sees exactly what they're getting. Chipotle also prides itself on using the freshest possible ingredients and putting a healthier spin…… [Read More]

One of the most influential is David Einhorn, a hedge fund manager who said Chipotle was over-valued as a stock. The article shows the challenges that Chipotle confronts today with flat sales and profitability while competitors continue to grow. What is apparent from the article is that the further Chipotle gets away from solidifying and strengthening their customer experience, the worse they do financially.

The target concepts that Chipotle is considering include competing in an entirely new time segment of the food service market, breakfast. The company is making this decision based on the observations they are making of competitors.

Chipotle's Business and Stock

Case Analysis of Chipotle
Introduction
This case analysis of Chipotle (CMG) examines the industry in which the restaurant has risen and looks at the company’s background and core values. The problem that the company has encountered in the last five years is really one of the financial markets and not so much a matter of image, brand, or poor business decisions—at least in terms of what the business was doing prior to 2012. However, when famed investor David Einhorn picked CMG as a potential short, the market decided he was right: Chipotle lost nearly half its market cap over the course of the summer of 2012. Since then the company’s stock price has rebounded to all-time highs in 2015 and fallen again to where it was prior to Einhorn’s short call. The company, in turn, began focusing more and more on what its stock was doing, investing millions in share…… [Read More]

Workers is Best for the Company

One of the clearest indications that an organization has attained a high level of transformational leadership is in how employees perceive their jobs and responsibilities. Best-selling Mexican restaurant Chipotle has a rapid-fire approach to customizing orders for each customer, and can literally fulfill a reasonable complex, customized order in minutes. In this type of environment, job satisfaction and task ownership created through transformational leadership is essential for the business to succeed. As the employee states, "I love the Chipotle standard that what's best for the people (employees) is best for the company and vice versa, so I always strive to do my best." Attaining this level of loyalty is a direct result of a very strong, stable and trust-based psychological contract made with employers by leaders who are transformational (Behery, Paton, Hussain, 2012).

Discrimination and Harassment at the Workplace

Workplace discrimination leads to a mismatch between qualified workers and their jobs, and it carries significant economic consequences in the American workplace.

Okechukwu, Souza, Davis and Castro (2014) define workplace discrimination as unfair rules and conditions that impair the ability of group members. It is motivated by inferiority and mistreatment of the disadvantaged group over the dominant group. It is based on races and even occurs among disadvantaged groups themselves. For example, some ethnic groups are favored than immigrant workers. Discrimination does exist with respect to age, gender, and disabilities as well. Though Americans prohibit societal and historical influences among the workers through the Disabilities Act, it does persist. Workplace discrimination is unequal treatment of employees whereas workplace harassment involves negative actions toward a worker with respect to race/ethnicity, gender, etc. Sexual harassment includes sexist behavior, sexual hostility, unwanted sexual attention, and sexual coercion in which one's gender or sex…… [Read More]

Economics and Ethics of Sustainable Design

Dos Toros is a U.S. food manufacturing company. The company manufactures foods of different types from plant food to animal food.

Inventory the Organization I Want to Study

Inventory

The organization I want to study is Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer. Wal-Mart is a retailer that sells a wide range of goods, including food, and does so in many countries around the world. They are the biggest retailer in the world, and one of the biggest companies.

I chose Wal-Mart because its supply chain management is famous. They are a good case study for inventory management. The basic business model for Wal-Mart is cost leadership. This business model relies on selling high volumes of goods on slim margins, so there is considerable emphasis on the part of the company to have a highly efficient supply chain. Wal-Mart has nearly $45 billion in inventory, but turns it over 10.6 times per year, or once per month, roughly.

Wal-Mart is known to use a number of intriguing technologies to help with its inventory management. The company uses RFID to keep…… [Read More]

International Business Globalization of Mcdonald's

However there were also the perceptions of threats in the way the firm may impact on local culture 'Americanizing' it. The firm may also be perceived as one where there is a highly commercial intent with little local consideration, a concern seen in the consumers in France. The government is also likely to reflect public opinion, as they are the representatives of the electorate, and as seen in France, McDonalds can be a target as the general image is one that represents American culture. It is notable that France has strongly defended its culture, and other controversies regarding American companies in the country have also been seen, especially Disneyland Paris. Therefore, governments are likely to have mixed responses, recognizing that there are some direct benefits as well as potential difficulties, especially in terms of perceptions of cultural contamination from the consumer markets.

Globalization Economic Globalization Has Affected Every American

Globalization

Economic globalization has affected every American in some way. In some cases, globalization has had a negative effect, for example when jobs are sent overseas. This occurs because globalization has reduced barriers to trade in both physical goods and services. As a result, people can lose their jobs to workers in foreign countries who are paid less. The reverse of this is that there are more opportunities for growth for American businesses. This will ultimately create new jobs, though usually for different categories of workers. A friend of mine's brother works for a company that sells most of its goods to the Asian market, which is something that was a lot harder to do prior to globalization. The reduction of trade barriers in particular creates opportunity, and if we use our comparative advantages we can take advantage of that opportunity (Investopedia, 2013).

Porter's 5 Forces

One of the most volatile and unstable industries is that of the grocery industry. There are many substitute goods and the product is perishable. ivalries are high because of the availability of substitute goods, the ease of transfer of consumption habits, challenges in the supply chain, and rival new entrants. Whole Foods is an excellent example of a company which has had to carefully hold onto its niche marketing strategy of offering organic and specialty goods, versus solely competing on price. The threat of new entrants is high given that customers can choose to purchase organic goods at Wal-Mart and Target, not just Whole Foods, as well as patronize their local farm stands. Substitute products are plentiful not just in the form of other grocery products but also in the form of buying prepared foods from healthier chains like Chipotle. Competitive rivalry is more intense than ever…… [Read More]

Health experts declared that if Jack in the ox Inc. restaurants had obeyed Washington State's set of laws, the outbreak of an epidemic would have been prevented. Jack in the ox, on January 22, 1993, guaranteed "to do everything that is morally right for those individuals who had experienced illness after eating at Jack in the ox restaurants as well as their families." Due to the negative publicity the company was facing, Robert Nugent substituted his public relations firm. Moreover, they instantaneously stopped their hamburger production, "recalled meat from distributors, increased cooking times and temperatures, and pledged to pay all medical costs related to the disaster." Jack in the ox used the services of Dr. David Theno, in order to come up with a brand new food-handling method.

There are no more round red, Roma and plum tomatoes on the shelves or in the menus as Publix supermarkets decided to take them off the market regardless of their provenience. The measure was motivated by the fact that "it's not based on geography. We've chosen to pull them all, as a safety precaution" Reid pointed out (Gilbert, 2008).

Some of the major culinary attractions such as urger King, Subway, Taco ell and Chipotle Mexican Grill, or McDonald's chose to respect the FDA recommendations and take out tomatoes from their list of ingredients.

The most affected restaurants however are not those who can afford to leave out tomatoes, but rather those that largely depend on the fresh juice of the tomatoes such as Italian restaurants.

Decision to Purchase Use or Consume the

decision to purchase, use or consume the product of a particular brand is not simply a utilitarian decision that focuses on what goods a consumer wants, it is also a matter of the consumer's self-image. The customer asks himself, perhaps subconsciously, is he "the type of person" who eats at McDonald's, or uses Bayer aspirin? From there, the customer makes a decision to use, or not use, the product. However, the answers to these questions are less than simple. They are intricately and intrinsically connected to brand image and perception. Consumers are willing to put more money and resources into things that make them feel good about themselves. Companies want to leave their customers feeling good about their purchasing decision, with a raised self-image. However, what makes a person feel good about herself changes as values and society change. More than any other industry, this may be true about food…… [Read More]

The Starbucks customers are more affluent and the McDonalds customers are more price sensitive (Shaughnessy, 2013).

The company can work on the customer pool that lies between total affluent and totally price sensitive. The company, like it has done before in 2012, can float the videos of its hygienic processes on YouTube.

Furthermore, Southeast Asians like Vietnamese and Thai are quite well-known for their eating of friend crickets, locusts and these types of things. There is an unserved market in the United States in a couple of ways -- first because these ethnic communities have been ignored with these products, but more important because there is a broader community that has never seen these products.

Labeling GMOs Pro or Con Essay

One of the most controversial issues in food politics today is the question of genetically modified organisms. Many consumers dispute whether such products are safe at all. But while the evidence regarding the safety of GMOs continues to be debated within the scientific community, another debate has arisen, specifically regarding the need to label products which contain GMOs within them. Because of the ubiquitous nature of GMOs in agriculture, GMO-containing products can span from everything from foods to pesticides. Producers oppose such labeling requirements, arguing that there is no evidence that GMOs cause consumers any harm. Proponents argue in favor of consumer choice.

In Favor Of Labeling GMOs
