Summary Introduction

Case Summary:

Patagonia the outdoor clothing company has a culture of linking employees to the natural environment. They have shown that business can be made profitable even when thinking about people, team, community and environment. While this may suit Patagonia, this necessarily need not fit for people who are not outdoor types.

Characters in the case:

Joy Howard, Rose Marcario from Patagonia, Neil Blumenthal one of the founders ofWarby Parker Eyewear are cited in this passage.

Adequate Information:

A profitable business can be made while thinking about the environment and thinking about team and community. The culture would not be ideal for people who don’t share the same value, who are not outdoor types, they would feel excluded.

To Determine:

If the strategies used by Patagonia to build its culture would work for other companies. To determine if the model would be useful for other companies that is not tied to lifestyle.
