Formulating Strategy at Aramark

Abstract: A 15 page paper focused on formulating strategy for a segment of this company's diverse business. Overall, ARAMARK's corporate strategy is well-defined, but the emerging growth in the need for cleanroom operations in growing numbers of disciplines is one the company needs to closely examine as a substantial contributor to growth in the future. The paper analyzes the company and industry in terms of Porter's Five Forces and VRIO analysis, and examines the area of Research Triangle Park, North Carolina as a possible expansion site for cleanroom and other uniform processing. RTP has a favorable work environment and is surrounded by three major research universities, teaching hospitals and a veterinary school. In addition, RTP has been called the "silicon valley of the East" and is home to much current research in biological semiconductor construction. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
