By 2010, Panera Bread Company (PBC) stood ahead of the crowd; once a pioneer in the fast casual concept of dining, the organization has now far surpassed its competition (Vincelette & Fogarty, 2010). Enduring economic challenges that only strengthened the organizations position as industry leaders while competitors struggled to exist, Panera’s co-founder and majority shareholder Ronald Shaich pushed through the years with strategic plans, implementation, and actions (Wheelen, Hunger, Hoffman, & Bamford, 2015), that led to success in creation of the “fast-casual” innovation of dining (Vincelette & Fogarty, 2010). The concept offered consumers healthier, quick dining choices in comparison to the outdated version of fast food chains (Vincelette & Fogarty, 2010). Food wasn’t the only attraction that led to brand name recognition...trends towards an atmosphere that was cool and inviting with upscale decor, inviting, comfortable atmosphere (Vincelette & Fogarty, 2010), warm and friendly welcoming employees, and product and menu diversifications contributed to Panera’s appeal (Rowe, 2006). This made consumers wanting to come back (Vincelette & Fogarty, 2010), therefore adding to the quality and value of the company’s organizational structure and social culture (Wheelen, et al, 2015). Shaich’s vision used strategy as a means to expand the organization in many

I will be focusing on the transnational food company ‘Nestle’ for my project in International Marketing MN313. Nestle is a Swiss food and drinks company that operates in over 195 countries supplying food, drinks and more products every single day. Nestle operates from a central headquarters based in Vevey, Switzerland where it was founded in 1905. I find it remarkable that they still operate and run their business from the same location it was founded over 100 years ago. Most business grow too large and need to move out of the area they were founded in as it can no longer offer them the required sustainability they need to expand and enter into new markets and become bigger players

They have achieved this through encouraging new innovations and inventions after offering them financial aid.
