Business Pioneers: Sainsbury, John Lewis, Cadbury - Softcover
This text examines the different styles of management, business ethos and social conscience of three great trading families: the Cadburys - a vast, interwoven clan, epitomizing the Midlands and West Country Quaker tradition associated with the chocolate industry; the Sainsburys - Victorian grocers who climbed the ladder of English class to become peers and late 20th-century Medicis; and the Lewises - the first family business to voluntarily abandon its dynastic inheritance to create the profit-sharing John Lewis. It also looks at the battle for the high street and the future for retail, especially the implications of the Internet.
