CMU Wk 6 Tyson Foods Investments for Sustainable Growth Protein Production Case Study

Question Description

I’m working on a writing question and need support to help me study.

Week 6a Case Study Assignment :

Given all barriers and concerns facing USLP, why would Polman be willing to bet the companys success on this strategy? (40 points)Case study: Unilevers New Global Strategy: Competing through Sustainability

undefined

Note: Polman introduced USLP as a secondary imitative focused on corporate responsibility, but as the companys core strategy designed to revitalize Unilevers performance. 250 words min.

There seems to be some confusion on how to respond to the question posed in Case study 6a.

There are many things you can talk about in this case study. Always think from the perspective of Mr. Polman-Manager and with business acumen. The key in any business is about serving its customers, employees, and community, revenues will grow, profits will increase, and shareholders will benefit.

You can respond to the question by talking about:

Consumer trends (environment, sense of social responsibility, and preference for healthy foods) in the Developed world.
In developing countries, USLP supporting social priorities supported by the government and NGOs
Local sourcing reduces risk.
Environmental and social objectives-serves as inspiration for employees
Likely to trigger internal innovative employee responses that can revitalize the companys products and processes.
Alliance with Unilever will respond to meeting regulation and environmental standards, labor practices, food quality, etc.

So forth you can think about several more things. You all are bright students and businessmen and women of tomorrow.
