Цели и стратегия

Основной целью «Азбуки Вкуса» является создание лучшей в мире сети продуктовых супермаркетов, которая предоставляет возможность обществу повысить качество жизни людей , задавая стандарты культуры торговли и социальной ответственности бизнеса, клиентам – получать удовольствие от каждой покупки, партнерам – строить долгосрочные, надежные и открытые отношения ,персоналу – постоянно развиваться, участвуя вместе со своими коллегами в жизни компании и получая достойную оценку личного вклада, акционерам – иметь материальные и психологические дивиденды от владения лучшей розничной компанией в мире.
Также существуют стратегические цели . Цели, связанные с финансами , направлены на повышение отдачи на вложенный капитал и оптимизацию долговой нагрузки. Для клиентов компания стремиться создавать продукты, которые соответствуют их потребностям. Также компания занимается внедрением системы управления бизнес-процессами и оценки их эффективности.
Как и большинство компаний , «Азбука Вкуса» стремиться достигать максимального результата с наименьшими издержками (финансовыми, человеческими, временными, т.д.). Тем самым, для достижения серьезного уровня эффективности необходим высокий профессионализм сотрудника и ответственное отношение к выполнению своих обязанностей.
Для «Азбуки Вкуса» важно поддерживать динамичное развитие компании, основываясь на инициативе самих сотрудников. Компания воспринимает достижение поставленных целей как повод для определения более амбициозных задач. Стратегия развития компании – на качественном уровне быть на шаг впереди всех остальных и расширять свое присутствие за счет активного открытия торговых точек не только в Москве и Санкт-Петербурге, но и в регионах России и странах СНГ.
Для достижения поставленных целей компания уделяет большое внимание созданию оптимальных условий труда и благоприятного психологического климата, которые позволяют каждому сотруднику не только быть эффективным, но и получать удовольствие от работы. Это также касается правильной организации рабочего места сотрудника, соблюдения баланса между рабочим временем и временем отдыха, поддержания оптимальной интенсивности труда, уважения к каждому сотруднику компании, независимо от его должности, отсутствия грубости в общении и многое другое.
Более того, уже многие разработки «Азбуки Вкуса» в сфере торговых технологий стали стандартом для российской розницы. Компания уверенна, что технологичность является наиболее эффективным путем к повышению результативности работы и тем уникальным опытом, который можно быстро, легко и без потерь тиражировать в новых супермаркетах сети.
Также важно добавить, что компания использует стратегию анализа(по Майлзу и Сноу), т. е она старается поддерживать стабильный бизнес, осуществляя инновации одновременно. Часть продуктов стабильны, однако постоянно происходит внедрение новых усовершенствований , например, появление собственной лаборатории , появление новых экологических проектов, что позволяет идти в ногу со временем.
Также мы выявили, что по Чандлеру для компании характерна позитивная стратегия.

Размер/стадия жизненного цикла

В 1991—1992 годы акционерами были зарегистрированы первые юридические лица, после чего на Кутузовском проспекте был открыт первый торговый павильон «Деликатесы». И только в 1997 году было принято решение об открытии первого супермаркета под названием «Азбука вкуса».
Четыре супермаркета компании были впервые объединены единой концепцией бренда в 2002 году. Эта концепция включала в себя : корпоративный стиль, новый ,интересный дизайн интерьеров и особый подход к ассортименту. Уже к 2007 году ассортиментная матрица компании составляла 18 тыс. товарных позиций.
В 2014 году компания после длительных переговоров приобрела подмосковную торговую сеть, работающую под торговой маркой Spar, включающую 5 гипермаркетов и 3 супермаркета рис.1 Согласно теории жизненных циклов Ицхака Адизеса(рис.1), компания находится на стадии динамичного развития, с каждым годом создаются новые проекты по улучшению сервиса, качеству товаров и многое другое.

Используемые технологии

Каждый месяц в сети появляются актуальные сезонные предложения, интересные новинки, а также оригинальные продукты, приготовленные по авторской технологии: свежий хлеб из собственной пекарни, фирменные кофейные смеси, пирожные и торты от японского кондитера Хидеки Морикавы. Люди, которые следят за своей фигурой и здоровьем, всегда найдут в «Азбуке Вкуса» широкий выбор вкусных, полезных и натуральных продуктов, выращенных фермерскими хозяйствами в экологически чистых регионах мира.
Благодаря Проекту «Наставничество» компания смогла создать благоприятную среду для получения стажерами профессиональных навыков, для их адаптации в коллективе супермаркета, введение их в должность. При помощи этого проекта компания смогла повысить мотивацию линейных сотрудников к профессиональному развитию. Проект помог укреплению климата преемственности, поддержки и вовлеченности в компании «Азбука Вкуса».
Более того, в октябре 2012 года сеть супермаркетов «Азбука Вкуса» стала обладательницей премии «Компания Года». «Азбука Вкуса» была отмечена в номинации «Экология и бизнес». Компания представила свою экологическую инициативу «Мир, который нам нравится», направленную на внедрение в розничную торговлю «зелёных» технологий и вовлечение потребителей в проекты защиты окружающей среды.
Также в ближайшее время в «Азбуке вкуса» стартует проект по установке касс самообслуживания в супермаркетах сети. Кассы самообслуживания отличаются от обычных касс тем, что они оснащены более сложным технологиями, цель которых – сделать процесс покупки максимально быстрым и удобным. «Мы разрабатывали продукт в тесном сотрудничестве с «Азбукой Вкуса». В процессе создания мы еще раз убедились в том, насколько хорошо они знают своего клиента и понимают его потребности. Все это позволило нам успешно запустить первый магазин и предложить покупателям лучшее решение на рынке», - комментирует Сергей Капацевич, глава разработки касс самообслуживания компании «Кристалл Сервис».

Организационная культура

Ценности компании на сегодняшний день органично вытекают из миссии и целей компании . Это – эффективность, развитие, увлеченность, дружелюбность, комфортность и технологичность. Каждая из этих ценностей многогранна и охватывает большое число смежных понятий.
В понятие «эффективность» входит достижение наибольшего результата с наименьшими издержками (временными, финансовыми , человеческими ,трудовыми и т. д ) .Для достижения высокого уровня эффективности важен высокий профессионализм работника и его ответственное отношение к выполнимой работе.
Под «развитием» понимается активное продвижение компании не только в России, но и в странах СНГ.
Компания уверенна, что только настоящая увлеченность работой доставляет человеку радость и позволяет ему раскрыть творческий потенциал. Она верит в то, что увлеченный своим делом человек способен гармонично жить и развиваться не только на работе , но и вне работы.
Дружелюбность для «Азбуки Вкуса» - это желание и умение проявлять свое уважение, симпатию, заинтересованность при общении с покупателем, коллегами и демонстрировать окружающим позитивный настрой и готовность оказать помощь в трудной ситуации.
Также очень важна комфортная обстановка на рабочем месте.
И не менее важна для компании технологичность. Многие наработки в сфере торговых технологий стали стандартом для российской розницы. Технологичность – наиболее эффективный путь к повышению результативности работы компании.

рис.2

Также ,исходя из вышесказанного, можно добавить, что согласно типологии, предложенной К. Камероном и Р. Куинном (рис.2), организационную культуру в организации можно отнести к клановой( корпоративной) культуре, так как существуют бригадные работы, а также программы вовлечения наемных работников в бизнес и корпоративные обязательства перед ними.
По модели конкурентных стратегий Портера , мы можем сказать, что конкурентные преимущества – фокусирование на дифференциации (уникальность товаров и узкий охват рынка). Безусловно, как мы уже выяснили, многие товары и продукты в «Азбуке Вкуса» уникальны .

How Does the Herbal Bed Explore the Conflict Between What Society Expects of Us and Our Inner Devices?

...The Herbal Bed explores the conflict and discrepancy between human desires and the social conventions and expectations, which endeavor to repress them. Peter Whelan utilizes this universal conflict by developing a string of moral dilemmas that prevail within and among the characters to explore the conflict between ones own desires and the expectations of the restricted Jacobean society. Moral dilemmas are utilized to endeavor the individual human desires and passions and what society believes to be morally correct. Weare confronted with a main moral dilemma that splits the audience between societies views and modern perspectives of Susanna. Our consideration of the main thematic concerns of truth, love and duty are vested in Susanna as she is the dominant character in the play and through her knowledge and her actions, she is able to reconcile truth in love, passion and desire. The Jacobean setting and context of The Herbal Bed creates an amplified backdrop of conflict and illness. Illness is ever present to remind us of the fragility of life but also promotes a conscious reflection upon the necessary salvation and vitality of the soul, irrespective of religious beliefs, as you may not have control over death but you do have control of your soul. This sense of internal conflict experienced by the characters only acts to demonstrate the larger dilemmas at play, namely Susanna’s key dilemma which is whether to conform to the social and moral expectations of Jacobean society and...

A Response to Senge's Ideas About Learning Organizations and Leadership

...A Response to Senge's Ideas about Learning Organizations and Leadership Extracted from the article "Peter Senge and the Learning Organization" Smith, M. K. (2001) 'Peter Senge and the learning organization', the encyclopedia of informal education, www.infed.org/thinkers/senge.htm Issues and problems When making judgments about Peter Senge's work, and the ideas he promotes, we need to place his contribution in context. His is not meant to be a definitive addition to the 'academic' literature of organizational learning. Peter Senge writes for practicing and aspiring managers and leaders. The concern is to identify how interventions can be made to turn organizations into 'learning organizations'. Much of his, and similar theorists' efforts, have been 'devoted to identifying templates, which real organizations could attempt to emulate' (Easterby-Smith and Araujo 1999: 2). In this field some of the significant contributions have been based around studies of organizational practice, others have 'relied more on theoretical principles, such as systems dynamics or psychological learning theory, from which implications for design and implementation have been derived' (op. cU.). Peter Senge, while making use of individual case studies, tends to the latter orientation. The most appropriate question in respect of this contribution would seem to be whether it fosters praxis - informed, committed action on the part of those it is aimed at? This is an especially pertinent question as...

ASSIGNMENT 4 During the last decade or more the pharmaceutical environment in South Africa has changed dramatically. Laws that governed the ownership of pharmacies was changed making it possible for anybody to own a pharmacy, laws was passed that governed the pricing of medication making medicine more affordable to all the people of South Africa. Pharmacy in South Africa has always been characterised by two distinct legs from which patients could get their medication. During the last couple of years a new form of pharmacy appeared in South Africa, the courier pharmacy model makes use of courier companies to deliver medication to the patient.

Supporting Learning in Primary Schools

...Reflecting on the course My role as a teaching assistant has not developed or changed in ways I would like. However, this course has taught me that teaching assistants are a key element in the provision of high-quality education. Study Topic 2, p.17 (Balshaw and Farrell 2002) suggest that, ‘Teaching assistants have often been in several jobs and learnt a variety of skills’. I support Year 1 children in both numeracy and literacy. In the morning I discuss the lesson plan with the teacher and get a clear understanding of the learning objectives. If I feel the children might find something difficult, the teacher will suggest ways I can give extra support. I get the resources ready and prepare the classroom as necessary. As suggested by Clark (2002) in Study Topic 12, p.7, ‘The physical learning environments that a school provides impact on the teaching and learning that takes place inside.’ I am more aware of how the learning environment can help and benefit the children’s learning, and make it as stimulating as possible. After reading Cremin et al, (p.133) I found it interesting to know that our classroom uses the zoning method. This method allows the teacher and me to work well as a team and select the right children to work together in a positive, constructive way. This course has also helped me realise the importance of observations and assessments, as Wragg (1999) suggests in Study Topic 9, p.23, ‘Classroom observation that is skilfully handled can benefit both the...

As You Like It

...As You Like It presents an ideal world, just as The Merchant of Venice did. The Forest of Arden has as much romance, as many delightful lovers, more laughter and Joy. Lamb, Charles and Mary. Like A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant of Venice, it is built by means of two worlds: the world ruled by Duke Frederick and the world of the Forest of Arden. Lamb, Charles and Mary. The effect is not the "separate but equal" envelope structure of A Midsummer Night Dream, nor the interlocking and necessary alternation of The Merchant of Venice; instead, Frederick's world first seems dominant and then dissolves and disappears into the world of Arden. Lamb, Charles and Mary. Its life seems to be in the play not so much for itself as to help us understand and read its successor. There is a set of contrasts between the two worlds of this play, but the contrasts are describable not in terms of opposition of power, as in A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant of Venice, but in terms of attitudes of the dominant characters, as in Much Ado About Nothing, and in terms of differences in the settings and of changes in behavior for those characters who are part of both worlds. Lamb, Charles and Mary. These contrasts are easy to describe because Shakespeare points the way clearly, making each world an extreme. Our approach will be to examine the qualities of Frederick's world, then to examine the qualities of Arden, and finally out of this contrast to see how the characters behave in...
