This year\u2019s national competition focused on Whole Foods Market, the natural and organic retail grocery chain.<\/p>\n

The students\u2019 goals were to determine a strategic vision; recommend actions the company should take to improve, sustain, turn around, or correct performance; and prepare a strategic plan for the next three to five years. Teams were judged on their analysis of the problem, assessment of alternatives, recommendations for action, presentation quality and responses to questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis case competition provides our student teams the opportunity to analyze and make recommendations on real-world business problems from the corporate world,\u201d said Lisa Crawford, management instructor and the team\u2019s advisor. \u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of the hard work and dedication our Wright State students put into this case competition, and their work is clearly reflected in these outstanding awards they continue to receive.\u201d<\/p>\n
