Whole Food
ปัญหาที่ John Mackey ต้องการจะทราบก็คือ จะทำอย่างไรให้ whole food market สามารถมีrevenue $10 billion และ มีสาขามากกว่า300 สาขาภายในปี 2010 โดยยังคงรักษาคุณภาพในสินค้าและบริการ และชื่อเสียงที่มีอยู่ได้ ซึ่งข้อมูลที่แสดงในปี 2004 พบว่าบริษัทมี revenue $3.86billon และมี 172 สาขาในประเทศอเมริกา แคนาดา และอังกฤษ
จากการวิเคราะห์สถานการณ์สภาพแวดล้อมทั้งภายนอกและภายในของ Whole food market ทำให้สามารถนำมาใช้ประเมินตัวเลือกกลยุทธ์ในการดำเนินธุรกิจเพื่อหาทางเลือกที่ดีที่สุดได้ดังนี้
• เนื่องจากลูกค้าเป็นพื้นฐานหลักของความสำเร็จของบริษัท ดังนั้นการเอาลูกค้าเป็นศูนย์กลางของการกำหนดกลยุทธ์จึงทำให้บริษัทสามารถตอบสนองความต้องการของลูกค้าได้อย่างดีที่สุด
Who: หลักสามอย่างในการdefine กลุ่มลูกค้าที่มีประสิทธิภาพคือ
1. มีความต้องการ จะต้องเป็นบุคคลที่สามารถ perceive ในคุณภาพของสินค้าของ whole food ที่แตกต่างไปจากสินค้าของ supermarket อื่นๆได้ นั่นคือ จะต้องเป็นผู้ที่มีความรู้ว่าสินค้า natural และorganic นั้น มีประโยชน์และปลอดภัยกว่า
2. มีกำลังซื้อ จะต้องสามารถซื้อสินค้าในราคาที่มากกว่าปกติได้ นั่นคือ มี disposable income
3. สามารถเข้าถึงได้ จะต้องเป็นผู้ที่สามารถมาซื้อสินค้าที่สาขาต่างๆของ whole food market ได้ ซึ่งจะสาขาของ whole foodนั้นมีเฉพาะในพื้นที่ที่มีคุณสมบัติเหมาะสม โดยลูกค้าอาจเป็นกลุ่มคนที่มียานพาหนะ หรืออาศัยอยู่ไม่ไกลจากบริเวณนั้นมากนัก โดยในข้อนี้จะต้องเป็นความพยายามของบริษัทด้วยที่จะค้นหาlocation ที่เหมาะสมและสามารถเข้าถึงกลุ่มลูกค้าได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ

และในขณะนี้ พบว่ากลุ่มลูกค้าที่เป็นกลุ่มTarget หลัก และจะเป็นโอกาสสำหรับการเติบโตของธุรกิจwhole food market มีสองกลุ่ม คือ ประชากรในยุค baby boom ซึ่งมีความกังวลในเรื่องสุขภาพมากขึ้น ทานอาหารที่เป็นประโยชน์ และสามารถซื้อสินค้าในราคา premiumได้ เพราะภาระในเรื่องค่าใช้จ่ายในครอบครัวลดลง เนื่องจากบุตรมักจะแยกย้ายครอบครัวออกไปแล้ว อีกกลุ่มหนึ่ง คือ ผู้อาศัยอยู่ในชุมชนเมืองที่ยังไม่แต่งงาน เพราะมักจะมีเงินจาก extra disposable income เพราะไม่ต้องมีภาระค่าใช้จ่ายในการดูแลครอบครัว และมักจะเป็นผู้ที่มีการศึกษาสูง มีความรู้ในเรื่องประโยชน์อาหาร organic ด้วย

What: สิ่งที่กลุ่มลูกค้า target ต้องการ คือ

    For many years the Baby Boomer Generation (1946-1964) was seen as the largest, most influential generation in American history. Now in 2012, as this massive generation begins to enter into their retirement years, their influence on the economy and society is starting to fade. Beginning to step into their place is the next massive generation, the Millennials (1982-2001). These two "Mega Generations" have begun to have a clash of ideals as the Millennial children begin to grow older (Mushkin, 2). One of the more heated topics between these two massive groups of people has been centered around food. The way food is produced, bought and ultimately eaten, is beginning to drive a wedge in-between these two generations. In some cases the Baby Boomers raised many of the Millennials, and maybe the Boomers are to blame for this ongoing feud. The essential debate is whether or not the traditional food at home is in threat of disappearing. With smaller arguments of, if there is a benefit or detriment in producing and consuming organic foods, and what food and health trends differ between the two generations.…
