For this assignment, you will be analyzing a portion of the World Values Survey data to help executives at a major grocery store chain determine their next steps in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

This fictional grocery store chain, Caan’s, competes across the United States. It currently is facing stiff competition and changing needs in its marketplace: •

Competitors include:

WalMart, Amazon Fresh / Whole Foods, Trader Joes, regional chains and local grocery stores.

• Low price promises are a necessity, causing high barriers to entry and high bargaining power of suppliers.

• The industry environment includes technological advances that enable customers to complete their purchase quickly and more efficiently, such as self check-out, delivery and pick-up service, and mobile apps for both bar code scanning and loyalty rewards.

• Customers are also growing more concerned about the environment and the impact on the environment from their food consumption and shopping behaviors. This has impacted product packaging, organic and bulk product options, bagging and other product transportation decisions,
