    Campbell's Soup Ads Analysis

    The best way to satisfy hunger is to eat a nutritious, fulfilling meal at either breakfast, lunch or dinner. For a man (or woman) who just came back from a hard day’s of work, there is nothing more nourishing than a meaty broth. Since 1869, Campbell’s Soup Company has been around for quite some time. They happen to be well-known for their soup products. Going by the slogan “M'm! M'm! Good! ,” Campbell’s Soup Company is one of the many conglomerates whose marketing tactics changed with the course of time, as well as using beef, where the quality of meat eroded throughout the years as part of a plan the food industry created…

    Summary: Hungry For Change

    1). In Hungry for Change, a 2012 film from James Colquhoun, Laurentine ten Bosch, and Carlo Ledesma that posits that the processed food diet is the root of our ails, Dr. Alejandro Junger says, “The problem is that we are not eating food anymore, we are eating food-like products.” Ten years ago, according to the National Restaurant Association (2016), the top five food trends were bite-sized desserts, locally-grown produce, flatbread, and bottled water (p. 1). Local sourcing, gluten-free cuisine, ethnic cuisine, and nutrition were the top five of the fastest-growing food trend in the last 10 years (National Restaurant Association,…

    The major goal of my company Tyson Foods is to provide the very best food product to our customers. The first step that begins with my contribution and department is that each team member strives to maintain the core values associated with Tyson Foods.

    Corporate Social Responsibility: Campbell Soup Co. Analysis

    They've been known globally for their infectious "Mmmmm mmmm good" slogan. In recent years, however, the New Jersey based, food and beverage company that brought us V8 Splash, Pepperidge Farm and Campbell's Soup, has become known for a bit more - their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Campbell Soup Co. has consistently made the top ten list of Corporate Responsibility Magazine's 100 Best Corporate Citizens - placing second in 2011 and eight in 2012. The company was also the only food and beverage company in the US to make Corporate Knights' 2012 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporation rank. Indeed, Campbell Soup Co. has seemingly embraced the CSR movement that's been transforming the global business environment. Not only has it willing integrated CSR into its business strategy, but it also hired a vice president of CSR in 2010. Even further, the company incorporated the culture into its mission: "Together we will build the world's most extraordinary food company by nourishing people's lives everywhere, every day." On its website, it glaringly displays its CSR initiatives, which it labels: "nourishing the community, nourishing the planet, nourishing consumers and nourishing employees"; even stating its total giving - approximately $51 million of its $805 earnings for 2012. Given these initiatives and the unquestionable influence that they have on its bottom-line, one must ask the question, is Campbell Soup Co. truly concerned about its impact on the wellbeing of its stakeholders, or is this all high level greenwashing? A closer look at the company's activities reveals an unequal mix between the two.…

    Coca Cola

    Throughout its enduring reign as an industry leader, Coca-Cola has acquired a sufficient amount of its revenue from CSD sales. According to Dr.Harber (2010), “ New federal nutrition guidelines, issued in 2005, identified regular CSDs as the largest source of obesity-causing sugars in the American diet”. Schools in New York City, throughout California, and elsewhere banned the sales of soft drinks on their premises(Dr.Harber, 2010). This was a tremendous issue that threatened the success of future sales of soft drinks all over the region. The United States obesity rate has continued to rise over the years and more people are now becoming involved in trying to eat and drink healthier. Companies such as McDonalds and Wendys have observed this fact and now offer several healthy items on their menu. Furthermore, the widespread linkage of CSDs with obesity and other health-related concerns was hard to disperse from people’s minds (Dr.Harber, 2010). Coca-Cola knew something had to be done, which led to the search for alternative beverages.…

    Campbell Soup Compan Audit

    Campbell was founded shortly before the start of the Civil War. Abraham Anderson and Joseph Campbell began manufacturing canned vegetables and fruit preserves. In 1976, Campbell bought out Anderson’s interest and renamed the firm the Joseph Campbell Preserving Company. Later, Arthur Dorrance was Campbell’s new partner. In the early 1920s, John Dorrance, Arthur Dorrance’s nephew, was the sole owner of the Campbell Soup Company, which was the largest producer of canned soup products. Unfortunately, as the twentieth century was coming to a close, the nation’s appetite for condensed soup products was waning. The weakening demand prompted the company’s executives to use an assortment of questionable business practices and accounting schemes to enhance the company’s reported earnings.…
