Case Study : The Costco Model
Discussion Questions:
1. What do you think are the most important practices for a retail company to pursue to foster an ethical environment for workers and consumers? Why?
2. A stock analyst criticized Costco, saying: "Costco continues to be a company that is better at serving the club member and employee than the shareholder." Do you think this a fair critique? Why or why not?
3. Another analyst complained that Jim Sinegal "has been too benevolent. He's right that a happy employee is a productive long-term employee, but he could force employees to pick up a little more of the burden." Again, do you think this a fair criticism? Why or why not?
4. Is a company that does not follow the Costco model a "bad" company? Explain.
