ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR 4TH EDITION2Question 1.How do you think globalization will affect whole foods over time?The world has undergone major developments which make it a global village. The process of globalization has affected many aspects of life and more aspects are anticipated to be affected in the near future. Whole foods are very popular in areas where the consumers of natural food and organic products are in large numbers. A lot of people all over the world prefer natural and organic food products to genetically modified food.

Ifwe go back to year 1978, only a small store was operated by John Mackey with his girlfriend. This was equated to $45,000. Through globalization, there has been more retail stores dealing with whole foods. It is estimated that more than 360 retail stores are in operation dealing with whole foods. This is a great improvement from the single store initiated in 1978. Again, the salesare anticipated to be $12 billion each year. This cannot be compared to $45,000 in year 1978 which was far from globalization. Again, the number of employees associated to whole foods. The employees are estimated to be 67,000 employees currently with a 7% growth rate in the employee’s base each year (Thomas, 2009). This cannot be compared to 19 employees in 1978. There are more varieties of whole foods in natural and organic food products that have been innovated through globalization.How would globalization affect the company’s organizational behavior activities in particular?The process of globalization has a great effect in the behavior activities of companies dealing with whole foods.
