A version of the book

The banana industry is truly a global industry, with most banana’s grown in relatively poor countries near the equator, and consumed in relatively rich countries. The industry has been dominated by several large multinational firms that carefully manage their supply chains from the plantations right to store delivery. An article from Bloomberg Business week in May 2020 (“Disease is Ravaging the $25 Billion Banana Industry”) describes some of the history of the industry, and also how the industry is facing its own challenges. A copy of the article is posted below.

  1. Why is vertical integration so predominant in the banana industry?
  2. A large portion of the global trade in bananas has been controlled by a few multinational companies (e.g., Fyffe, Chiquita, Dole) that perhaps enjoyed oligopolistic pricing for many years. Why are they now facing downward pressure on prices?
  3. What are the major challenges currently facing firms in the banana industry?

Start your original post with either the number 1, 2, or 3 and a 3-10 word description of your thinking, which correspond to a question from those above. Please, just focus on one question in your original thread. The syllabus provides further details on what is expected in discussions, and the grading criteria.

In House vs Independent External Assessment

/in /by

Answer the question below and respond to the response:

“No one knows the business inside and out better than the incumbent officers of the organization.”

In light of the statement above, what is the justification for conducting environment assessments by the top managers of the business, or for requesting an independent external body to prepare an assessment report? Detail your thoughts. As required for all discussion questions, your response(s) must be referenced and supported with peer-review journals and quality academic materials.

Response 1:

When considering the statement, “No one knows the business inside and out better than the incumbent officers of the organization.” At its face, it would make sense to most to think that that people that run the business would have the most knowledge of its ins and outs. This often results in internal evaluations of process and programs that can be highly beneficial especially when considering the cost effectiveness and control of such processes. However, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that those that have the most invested in an institution or organization, may be the least likely to be able to identify a problem or a potential hazard to the organization. For example, many organizations implement plans and processes to achieve a specific goals. Many of these plans may account for the best info available at the time or the skill level of those involved in the process planning. Because the system in effect may be highly understood by those that created it, they would be the best to understand when deviation occurs or issues with the system. However, over times these process may change to a substantial degree or become less effective due to trends or demand from the industry of which the process owners may be unaware of. A value stream analysis of the internal environment is one of the best ways to identify where value is added and lost to a process. “Value Stream Management is a new strategic and operational approach to the data capture, analysis, planning and implementation of effective change within the core cross-functional or cross-company processes required to achieve a truly lean enterprise”(Hines, 1998) These kinds of assessments can be done internally but significantly benefit from hiring an external evaluator.

One of the best aspects of the external evaluator is the removal of biases in the evaluation. Bias control is extremely important to any evaluation process whether internal or external. The objectivity of personnel not directly involved in a company provide new perspectives on the process and how an organization is achieving them. An added benefit is the potential to ease the minds of investors if the evaluator is reputable. This is also true for perceived objectivity “Free from the post-modern challenge to objectivity, many users of evaluation are looking for an appearance of objectivity—and will be satisfied Many people believe that external evaluators come to an evaluation unbiased and with an open mind in contrast with internal evaluators who are part of an organization with its own history and modes of behavior with an independent evaluation by someone with ‘no obvious stake in the program’ (Weiss 1972, p. 37).
