A major food service provider, ConAgra, builds relationships by finding qualified businesses who can conduct business on the same terms, conditions, and quality standards as other business suppliers.  ConAgra looks for corporate partners who can provide a consistent product enabling ConAgra to pass on the consistency in the food they provide. 

 

ConAgra also focuses on a culturally diverse employee base.  ConAgra works with six Employee Resource Networks to ensure this diversity.  The current six Employee Resource Networks include:  ConAgra Black Employee Network, Women's Leadership Council, ConAgra Asian Network, ConAgra Latino Network, ConAgra Young Professional Network, and Illuminations.  Each of these networks plays a large internal and external role for the company.  Externally these networks provide volunteer support for community events and organizations.

  • it seems that there is an increasing trend for some multi-national firms to provide more to their employees than just a paycheck and more to their consumers than just the product.  I wonder if this is more out of goodwill, some self-serving benefit, or related to the 'bad money' principal

  • As far as ConAgra finding partners that assist in their products being consistent, I think this could be one of the most difficult things for a company like ConAgra. We talked in class how if multiple people are involved in the production of a product (say beef) and that happens to contain harmful bacteria, who is liable? Who is to blame? It is extremely important for a company like ConAgra to get a partner that understands such issues and organize accordingly.
