Purpose/Objective A major requirement of Principles of Management class is to research a Fortune 100 company and present the findings as a business case analysis. Business case analysis includes history of the company, management performance, SWOT analysis, corporate and company level strategies, code of ethics and appearance of organization in the news. From this research I expect to learn how an organization that started out as small corner store became a Fortune 100 company with hundreds of locations internationally, thousands of employees and millions dollars in profits. I’m also looking forward to learning the “secrets” of the management team of the organization I chose who have continued to make this company successful. We live in a customer-driven environment and for an organization to remain successful and rank in the top 100 companies it has to have an effective management team with the vision into the future. For this assignment I decided to research Whole Foods Market. This organization is well known for its success and creative management approach. This organization appealed to me because of its core values, its stewardship to the communities and environment and its unwavering beliefs in natural and organic style of living. I have always tried to live a healthy life and consume products that are better for me and the environment and it’s been especially true since my daughter was born. She was born with allergies and I had to do my own research into the

Case management has seen rapid growth and expansion over the past decade, securing it a strong foundation in many hospitals and outpatient programs.

In late 1980s, in order to curve the increasing medical expenses, American government have launched case management. Case management not only effectively decreased the medical expenses, but also guaranteed the patients can get the necessary medical service they need. According to American Case Management Association, a non-profit organization that support the practice of case management, case management is "a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation, and advocacy for options and services to meet an individual’s and family’s comprehensive health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality cost effective outcomes”(ACMA, 2015). The personnels involve in the case management system are called case managers. Case manager is a professional with nursing qualifications holding a case load with responsibility for overseeing and/or delivering the processes of case finding, assessment, care delivery, monitoring and review for, and with, a patient and their family carer(s) (Goodman et al. 2010). Case management was first found in early twentieth century by social workers and public health nurses(Patricia, 2011). For this model, nurses, social workers, and other disciplines can work as case managers. However, in this article, I will focus on the nurse care case managers. In the Nursing case management model, all patients are assigned to a nurse case manager. For example, all the pediatric patients are assigned to
A case study is a specific instance that is frequently designed to illustrate a more general principle (Nisbet and Watt, 1984). Hitchock and Hughes (1995) further suggest that the case study approach is particularly valuable when the researcher has little control over evens. Case studies strives to portray ‘what it like’ to be a particular situation, to catch up reality and ‘thick description’ (Geertz, 1973) of participants’ lives experiences of, thoughts about and feelings for a situation. They involve looking at a case or phenomenon in its real-life context, usually employing many types of data (Robson, 2002). It is important in case studies for events and situations to be allowed to speak for themselves, rather than to be largely interpreted, evaluated or judged by the researcher. In this respect the case study is akin to the television documentary. Case studies can make theoretical statements, but, like other forms of research and human sciences, these must be supported by the evidence presented.

Spokane Industries has contracted Franklin Electronics for an 18 month product development contract. Franklin Electronics is new to using project management methodologies and have not been exposed to earned value management methodologies.

For this project Spokane Industries is requiring Franklin Electronics to use formalized project management methodologies, earned value cost schedules, and schedules for reports and meetings.
