Abstract
The paper explains that, although the Hershey products are competitively priced, high quality candies have been the foundation of their success. It points out however, that Hershey's revenues are significantly behind their competitors and their product mix lacks true diversity. The author points out that one recommended strategy is to extend globally the Hershey brand name. The paper recommends purchasing divisions, which other food companies are selling off, to acquire the needed revenue to be more competitive with some of the other larger companies, while also affording the opportunity to widen their product mix.

From the Paper
"The first force to be analyzed in Porter's Five Forces is rivalry amongst competitors in the industry. In the chocolate and confectionary industry, there are many competitors. The industry is quite fragmented, despite several large organizations, such as Hershey Foods, Cadbury, Nestle, etc. being present. Therefore rivalry is intense. Multiple organizations are continually vying for the same valuable market share, in a rather mature industry. "

From the Paper
"The global confectionery industry, estimated at $100 billion USD, has never been more challenging, or more competitive. The world?s leading confectionary companies struggle for market share in a mature industry characterized by increased numbers of firms competing for the same business, price erosion, and the necessity to produce more to maintain profit margins. To compete effectively, manufacturers are challenged to create new products, maximize efficiencies at the factory and corporate level and increase penetration within existing markets (Candy Industry, 1998).

"Competitor Analysis: Hershey Foods
This research develops a competitive analysis for Hershey Foods. The objective of this research is to identify the company?s principal competitors and their strategies. The competitive characteristics of an industry are generally considered in the contexts of (1) the structure of competition, (2) marketing resources and skills, (3) production resources and skills, (4) financial resources, (5) managerial resources, and (6) competitive strategies (Thompson & Strickland, 1990). This research, however, is concerned only with the structure of Hershey?s competition.

The identification of Hershey?s competitors depends largely on the specific market segments in which the comp..."

From the Paper
"When most people think of the term organic, an image of an environmentally conscious farmer plowing his field covered with long shafts of wheat swaying against the wind comes to mind. Words associated with the term organic are healthy, pesticide-free and flavorful. Like most stereotypes there is a grain of truth in the representations that people encounter on a daily basis. It is true that most organic farmers are environmentally health and socially conscious ... "

From the Paper
"No matter how much a corporation invests in technology, equipment, or inventory, employees are an organization's most valuable asset. It is important for companies to provide employee programs and services that foster health and well-being. It makes sense for organizations to invest in employee education and resources, especially since absenteeism and sick time is on the rise. Recent studies show that organizations that provide wellness programs to staff members have also experienced increased employee job satisfaction, morale, and productivity."

Microorganisms and Foods, 2002.
A discussion on how microorganisms can be of significance to foods. Topics covered include food spoilage, food poisoning and food related infection.
973 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 24.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how microorganisms are extremely important aspects of our food supply: They can cause spoilage, they can ferment our foods and they can cause us illness through foods. It looks at how they can be found in all types of foods ? fresh food, prepared food and even preserved food. It covers such issues as food spoilage and inhibition of the growth of pathogens, microbial ability to cause disease in humans (using Staphylococcus aureus as a particular example) and commercial uses of microbes in food (fermentation etc).
From the Paper
"Food poisoning results from ingestion of food that contains previously formed microbial toxins. The microorganisms that created the toxins are not usually alive when the contaminated food is eaten. The illness is caused by the action of the toxins. One of the most common forms of food poisoning is caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It is most often found in foods such as poultry, meat, egg and meat salads and creamy salad dressings. It results from the foods not being kept refrigerated after they have been prepared, as S. aureus can grow very rapidly at room temperature. Even if the food is heated again before ingestion, the toxin may not be destroyed as it is reasonably heat stable."

Abstract
This paper examines how the Hershey Foods Corporation, like other companies in the food and beverage industry, spent very little money on information technology (IT). It discusses how, with the eventual implementation of an ambitious upgrade called Enterprise 21, the developers of Hershey?s planned to enter the 21st century, when they had barely paid lip service to the technologies of the 20th, and how they forgot the essential age-old rules of new process/new equipment implementation. It analyzes how the entire changeover plan was flawed right from the start and looks at several different alternatives Hershey could have chosen.

"Also a holdover from that era of industrial conduct was, perhaps, Hershey?s placing the blame on others in the aftermath of the disaster. Apparently management had not heard that it is better to find solutions than to cast aspersions. And the company had compounded the problem in two ways. First, they refused to admit there was a problem, allowing their customers to lose credibility when the shelves were bare. Second, they failed to recognize that the failure was, in fact, homegrown when it was revealed that SAP information system management software, which Hershey blamed for the problems, was working just fine in the much smaller Canadian business unit. Conceivably, that unit was managed by a different crew who might have had a more modern approach to implementation."

Genetically Modified Foods in Africa, 2004.
This paper discusses the debate surrounding the use of genetically modified (GM) foods as food aid to African countries.
1,955 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 11 sources, MLA, £ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the debate over African nations refusing U.S. GM food aid encompasses a much larger scope than the Western debate over GM foods. The author points out that, not only must African nations consider the same human health and environmental implications of GM food as their Western counterparts, but also African countries must negotiate a minefield of political and economic concerns unique to the region. The paper states that the debate surrounding GM foods in Africa must take into consideration some uniquely African problems, including Africa's desperate need to feed its large population and the relative poverty of the African nations.

"Later reports noted that Zambia's decision was influenced strongly by the UK-based BMA's fears about the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in FM foods to bacteria, and the potential for GM foods to cause allergies. Supporters of GM foods argue that the Zambia's decision was based on bad advice from the BMA. For example, the South African head of AfricaBio notes, "The American Medical Association backs GM food, as does the Royal Society in Britain, the Third World Academy of Sciences and the Food and Agriculture Organization".

Genetically Engineered vs. Organic Foods, 2003.
This paper argues that organically grown foods are safer for consumption and for the environment than genetically engineered foods.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that genetically engineered crops are created by inserting genes from one species into another to create a new type of plant. The author stresses that, in many ways, genetically engineered crops are just as harmful to the environment as other varieties of crops. The paper points out that, in addition to its environmental benefits, a growing number of studies show that organic foods are more nutritious than other foods.
From the Paper
"Those people who wish to advance the production and consumption of genetically engineered foods also claim that genetically engineered crops do not interfere with their surrounding ecosystem and are noninvasive. These individuals suggest that genetically engineered crops are very similar to standard plant crops that have been modified for centuries through selective breeding by humans. Because of this, they believe that genetically engineered crops can do no more damage to the environment than any other plant has done throughout the ages. However, plants that have been genetically manipulated are different from all other types of plants."
