The need among Americans to be diverted in ever more imaginative ways -- through high-thrill parks, virtual reality arcades, and theme restaurants, plays right into the hands of Dave Corriveau and Buster Corley, co-founders and CEO’s of Dave and Busters. The duo’s 50,000 square foot complexes include pool hall, an eye popping, cutting edge midway arcade, a formal restaurant, a casual diner, a sports bar and a nightclub rolled into one sprawling complex. In business since 1990, this is a high energy, highly efficient operation that’s comparable to a Vegas extravaganza. As a matter of fact there are even “for fun” cashless blackjack tables, with fake $10,000 chips. Pricey, but not outrageous, and you get value

Corporate social responsibility: Businesses do not exist in isolation nor is it simply just to make money; a lot of factors come into play. Customers, suppliers and the local community are all affected by the business and its operations. Ben and Jerry’s products, and the way they produce them all have an impact on the environment.

The Cheesecake Factory has been in operation for over thirty years. We opened the doors to the first Cheesecake Factory store on February 25, 1978 in Beverly Hills, California.

The Cheesecake Factory has a Code of Conduct in place to regulate conduct and ensure that, while providing great service, the staff is being treated with respect as well. The code of conduct also covers the responsibility of the staff members in regard to the interest of the Company.

We also want them to know that we expect them to provide a high quality of service to our guest.

Trader Joe 's is a privately owned grocery store that sells a variety of natural and healthy food and beverage options. Their headquarters is located in Monrovia, California and they have about 350 stores in roughly 25 states.

Since they wanted to assist in the community, they often times sacrificed profits for the greater good. Ben & Jerry hired a bakery that did work for non-profit organizations, to produce brownies in a large amount. Unfortunately the bakery was not able to handle the volume of work; therefore the brownies were not done properly. Ben & Jerry were unable to send the shipment back since it would have caused a financial burden on the bakery. They decided to keep the brownies and create a new flavor, Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Ben & Jerry realized at times to remain in harmony with the mission statement was stressful.

It is easy to see how Bob’s Supermarket is stuck in the middle. The company is not the lowest price provider and it cannot be the lowest price provider. The company does not have the modern amenities of a larger grocery store and it cannot have all the amenities of a modern grocery store. Bob’s Supermarket is somewhere between a modern grocery store and a convenience store. Since its possibilities for being the best grocery store are limited the company should focus on being the best, convenience (plus) store in the area.

Ben and Jerry’s, founded in 1978, is a market leading distributor of super-premium ice creams, frozen yogurts, and sorbets, and has built a reputation on being a socially minded company. They were pioneers in the policy of “caring capitalism” and place heavy importance on the concept of social responsibility, a practice which many companies have since adopted. They have enjoyed long-term success as a result of their progressive methods of doing business and novel ideology regarding how a company should be ran. However, due to increased competitive pressure and declining financial performance, they have now been confronted by the threat of a takeover. Recently four
