Originally based in Lexington, Kentucky, this company has now expanded operations into thirteen other U.S. states. While its inexpensive and efficient cooling and heating products are in high demand even in foreign markets, this company contends it has no desire for international expansion.

Conducting operations strictly within the U.S. borders does not appear to have been much of a limitation on this company, which has realized net profits of two billion dollars last year and provided gainful employment for over four thousand workers. The leaders of the Renna Company realize greater profits could be attained through international expansion. However, they stand in agreement when they state, “It is not always the money that best defines the worth of an organization.”

The company desires to stay true to its mission statement, which claims that “It will serve the marketplace of the United States with its superior products and provide job opportunities with a fair wage for its employees.” The Renna Company is very proud of its products and enjoys the fact they are produced and sold in the United States of America. This company truly reflects the success possible when holding to the fact that “Made in America” is still a winner.

Even with the differences in business philosophies and beliefs between the two owners, Rodriguez Enterprises remains a multi-billion-dollar operation with a promising future ahead of it.

Baby food is the prominent product line currently produced by the corporation. Many of the customers for these products are located in third world countries where infant nutrition is a serious problem.

Bradley has recently decided to change its internal management structure. New managers for the corporation are now in place; however, these new leaders do not appear to have the same value system as the former leaders. The former leaders embraced the idea of product safety and exhibited integrity in the production of the corporation’s product lines. While the new managers claim these are important to them also, it seems the bottom-line profit has become a higher priority for them.

These changes have created concern within the company, and there is strong disapproval for the way the company is conducting its business at the present time. The Board of Directors for Bradley is facing the serious question of whether profit is the only thing that matters now to the corporation.
