Executive Summary

responsibility of the managers to make sure that they are making the right decisions at the right
point of time. Thus the managers have to maintain a customer-centric and also an employee-
centric approach to make sure that their organization is proceeding at the right place. The
organization has to make sure that they are imbibing a culture of respect and proper values
among all their clients and their customers at the same time. This report has dealt with the issues
that cropped up in one of the leading supermarket chains of Australia that is Woolworths. This
