Case Study Of Mondelez International

As I mentioned above, Mondelez was created to fit a need that Kraft Foods Inc. had to increase their growth globally. Kraft Foods Inc. established their name in 2007 when they broke apart from Altria Group. Kraft became the second-largest processed food company in 2012 with annual revenues of more than $54 billion in 2012 (Gamble, 2016). However, significant growth in the company was not much different from that in 2007 when they became independent. It is the belief of the company’s upper management and board that the reason for their stagnation was due to the fact that their corporate strategy was not focused on the growth of the company.

The United States has laws that affect the hiring practices of all country based companies. Regulations of federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Labor protects employees in the United States from discrimination to wages. Other Countries may not have the same protection for its citizens as an example. Although U.S. based organizations would not be bound to the wage laws of other countries, they are usually morally bound to ethical practices by which they establish core principles that are filtered down to their employees. Jeopardizing this standard of ethics would have a broad based effect on the organizations overall effectiveness considering a platform of which to maintain a standard that all employees can act on behalf of. Compromising ethics and social value could present major public relation issues. A perfect example of this would be the Hershey Corporation. The Hershey Corporation of the United States is North America’s largest chocolate producer, however at one time most of its cocoa was purchased from West African Nations. These Nation’s had a very poor record of labor fairness and was reported to employ children in long and unsafe working conditions. Although this was against Hershey’s published core values, the company sought refuge in the fact that none of these children were employed by the Hershey Corporation and therefore claimed plausible deniability. A public relations campaign ensued which prompted the corporation

Kroger would like to be included in the ACD for Anchorage. Which is currently in their Kroger-TeamCo and Kroger – TeamCo STEP portfolio. A little background on the Kroger/TeamCo relationship: Kroger, recently submitted a full redemption request to TeamCo (TeamCo is a FoF and the majority of their business is with Kroger). As a result, TeamCo has started the liquidation process and will no longer exist as of January 2018. However, the anchorage position in the TeamCo portfolios have always been in Kroger’s name, so there will not be a need for a transfer of ownership or beneficial ownership. Kroger is still needs to figure out if they will redeem, maintain or add to the position. In the meantime, they would like to be included to

As a starting point for this assignment, I used the Oxfam report “Walking the Talk, Food and beverage companies slowly start turning policy into practice in Oxfam’s Behind the Brands campaign” (Smith, 2015).
