DISCUSSION BOARD 2 1
Business Case
The case study selected for this discussion is Whole Foods vs Whole Amazon; according to the reading, the case study is based on the impact Whole Foods had after Amazon acquired the

(Blanding, 2018) So, overall, the main key topic is positive organizational behavior; according to this article, research from the positive organizational behavior perspective examines the subjective and contextual factors that enable people and communities to feel good about their work, perform better, and ultimately give organizations a competitive edge, has also largely supported this evidence. Consequently, a growing body of research has demonstrated that effective HRM systems may raise employee engagement and motivation, which will have a substantial effect on output and performance. (Manuti et al.,2020).
Business Case Solution
According to the textbook, there are three steps to take to solve this problem. The first step is to identify the problem, and this can be done by defining the problem, which was already done above. Second, to identify what actually causes the problem, which is the clash between two different stores because of their goals, the textbook mentions that one of the biggest challenges is juggling the demands of various stakeholders, including communities, investors, customers, and staff.

Ethical Dilemma When Algorithms Discriminate
Promising companies the ability to get to know their customers and maximize the benefit gained from each one, CRM systems could be called a
marketer's dream. CRM software allows companies to look closely at customer behavior, drilling down to smaller and smaller market segments.
Once so segmented, customers can be targeted with specific promotions. For the company, this process reaps the greatest returns from
