Born into a poor family of potters, Josiah Wedgwood amassed a fortune that would today make him a billionaire, and created a multinational corporate empire. He combined rationality with bold experimentation, revolutionizing the business model of his time with a series of innovations: organizing skilled labor in one of the world's earliest factories; encouraging employee loyalty by offering long-term contracts that included health insurance and pension plans; and changing the very notion of shopping by utilizing showrooms and traveling salesmen.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 338.7665 Wedgwood Do Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 338.7665 Wedgwood Do missing from shelf Add Copy to MyList
