Case title: Sandy Supermarket in Auckland CBD

As a newly established supermarket locates in Auckland city, Sandy Supermarket offers a wide range of products to local customers who work and stay in the city. These include bakeries, snacks and drinks, cooking ingredients, homecare, deli and chilled foods, hot meals, meats and seafood, as well as personal care.

The company employs 30 non-managerial employees supervised by 5 supervisors running on 2 work shifts from 9am to 9pm, seven day a week. The supermarket serves approximately 200 customers per day.

As the general manager of Sandy supermarket, one of Jack Dill’s goals is to run this company ethically so to sustain the business in long run. To do so, Jack has decided to take the interests of various stakeholders into consideration when making managerial decisions to operate the company: ● Internal stakeholders (e.g., employees and the management team), ● External stakeholders (e.g., customers, suppliers, competitors, financial institutes,

government agencies, community, and environmental responsibility).

Over the past 3 months, Jack has identified the following challenges faced by Sandy supermarket that are in need of solutions: 1. The underground car park is not sufficient to handle the large number of customers. More car

park alternatives need to be explored. 2. The trolley stands are not evenly distributed throughout the car park so trolleys are placed

dangerously by customers in every corner of the car park. 3. There is not enough covered area for the customers to stand in wet weather. As a result,

some customers bought their groceries from the competitor next door – New World Supermarket.

4. The bakery counters should be enlarged because baking products are in high demand and they are more profitable as compare to other products.

5. 15% of the employees were either late for work or absent from work per week.

The owner of the supermarket, Mark Steel, request Jack to develop solutions for the above problems in the next 3 weeks.
