Case Study: Chick-Fil-A

200 Words1 Page

Chick-Fil-A With the ever growing society that we live in today, it is a challenge to uphold a business with conservative values. When attempting to accommodate all stakeholders, taking a conservative approach can be very limiting. As conservative companies expand nationally and internationally, they face the challenge of needing to appease a wide range of customers that hold different values. With that being said, Chick-Fil-A has become a very controversial company in the past years with questionable ethical decisions pertaining to gay rights.

  • Hobby Lobby’s Health Care Provisions

    740 Words  | 2 Pages

    The issue that is at hand is if the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 is being violated, which says that the federal government “shall not substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion” unless that burden is the least restrictive means to further a compelling governmental interest, allows a corporation the ability to deny its employees the health coverage of contraceptives to which the employees are entitled by federal law, based on the religious objections of the corporation’s owners. But the debate over the legitimacy of the case has ripped a path all the way to the Supreme Court. Hobby Lobby argues intensely that they should be exempt from certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act, because of the owners Mennonite religious beliefs and practices. What is at risk here isn't just the freedom of religion, but about power over one’s health care.

Cathy stated that “the business is family owned and family led and very supportive of the family in the Biblical definition” and his belief that if he were to support it with his business he would anger God.

    Burger King delivers value to their customers through their products, prices, and place and promotion strategies - (“BK doesn’t just promise value, they actually deliver value”). Burger king has been in existence for 60 years and is growing rapidly in many other countries. Burger King delivers quality, great tasting food which satisfies ones need or wants and captures the value of customers even before the first purchase is made. Burger King has products very unique from other competitors such as KFC and McDonalds. The difference is that Burger King does not limit their customers in terms of what they eat. For example, when I spoke to a customer also big fan of Burger King, he mentioned that the sauces are left public for the customer to decide on which sauce to have rather than giving the customer one kind of sauce such as McDonalds and KFC. The cold beverage is also self-help service in which customers can help themselves to a bottomless drink. This way the customer feels free to choose what satisfies the need or want.
