Abstract

The article reports on the success of food chain Jewel Cos. Inc. in Chicago, Illinois. According to Jewel chief executive officer (CEO) and chairman George L. Clements, much of the company's success is attributed to its management and the philosophy of the firm to share its business with their workers. It notes that the company started a one-horse-cart and door-to-door coffee sales business in 1899 and later evolved to become a one billion business enterprise with 10 separate divisions.
