  • Judge Mendoza, for Agreeing To
    Q1: Today is November 5, 2005. It is 11:26 am. We are in room 2510 of the Daley Center Cook County Court building where we’re interviewing Judge Patricia Mendoza about her legal career, her background, how she became a judge in the Cook County system. Thank you, Judge Mendoza, for agreeing to talking with us today. The first thing we’d like to do is ask you a little bit about your background and upbringing, how your early experiences influenced your decision to enter the legal profession. Can you tell us a little bit about what it was like growing up in the Back of the Yards neighborhood in the 1960s? A: Well, it’s a working-class neighborhood. They have -- it was a changing neighborhood, changing over from Polish– Lithuanian to Mexican. You know, it was lower middle class. And there’s not a lot -- I don’t know. You know, it’s what I knew, so I couldn’t really compare it to anything else at the time. Q1: Mm-hmm. Did your parents -- had they lived there for a long time, or...? A: We actually moved there when I was 11. They had a bridal shop business that they opened up there. They had had a business previously, and I don’t know the name of the neighborhood. It was like 55th and the Garfield, Halsted area. That neighborhood had undergone a lot of race riots. 1 I vague -- I distinctly remember, you know, the riots because the store was on the dividing line -- at that time Halsted was the dividing line -- between black and white.

  • Apple Stores
    For the exclusive use of M. Henny, 2015. 9-502-063 REV: MAY 20, 2010 LUC WATHIEU Apple Stores Ron Johnson (HBS ’84), Apple Computer’s Senior Vice-President of Retail, never missed a chance to show a customer through the nearest Apple Store. A former Vice-President of Merchandising at Target (a leading department store chain), Johnson joined Apple in January 2000 with the mission to oversee the creation of the company’s own stores. The first store opened in May 2001—and just seven months later, 27 identical stores had been opened across the United States. During his store visits, Johnson tried computer applications, listened to a store employee make a presentation in front of the 10-foot screen at the rear of the store in “the theater,” and respectfully introduced his guests to the local “genius,” the official title of a very knowledgeable employee who stood behind a “bar” (complete with stools and water bottles) and helped solve consumer problems. Every detail of the store experience had been carefully designed, and as much as Johnson enjoyed each tour, he was also checking that all the store’s elements were perfectly under control. “The store experience has to be the same every day, every hour, in every store. We care passionately about that,” he often said. The stores were expanding to new territories, mostly in high traffic shopping malls, with the explicit purpose of “enriching people’s lives” and converting new customers to Apple products. To complete that mission successfully, Johnson’s focus was on choosing the right locations, selecting and training knowledgeable and dedicated employees, and defining the most effective utilization of the innovative store elements such as the theater and the genius bar.

  • Stu Davis: Canada's Cowboy Troubadour
    Stu Davis: Canada’s Cowboy Troubadour by Brock Silversides Stu Davis was an immense presence on Western Canada’s country music scene from the late 1930s to the late 1960s. His is a name no longer well-known, even though he was continually on the radio and television waves regionally and nationally for more than a quarter century. In addition, he released twenty-three singles, twenty albums, and published four folios of songs: a multi-layered creative output unmatched by most of his contemporaries. Born David Stewart, he was the youngest son of Alex Stewart and Magdelena Fawns. They had emigrated from Scotland to Saskatchewan in 1909, homesteading on Twp. 13, Range 15, west of the 2nd Meridian.1 This was in the middle of the great Regina Plain, near the town of Francis.

In 1920 they moved into Regina where Alex found employment as a gardener, then as a teamster for the City of Regina Parks Board. The family moved frequently: city directories show them at 1400 Rae Street (1921), 1367 Lorne North (1923), 929 Edgar Street (1924-1929), 1202 Elliott Street (1933-1936), 1265 Scarth Street for the remainder of the 1930s, and 1178 Cameron Street through the war years.2 Through these moves the family kept a hand in farming, with a small farm 12 kilometres northwest of the city near the hamlet of Boggy Creek, a stone’s throw from the scenic Qu’Appelle Valley.

  • Entrepreneurship in the Natural Food and Beauty Categories Before 2000: Global Visions and Local Expressions
    Entrepreneurship in the Natural Food and Beauty Categories before 2000: Global Visions and Local Expressions Geoffrey Jones Working Paper 13-024 August 28, 2012 Copyright © 2012 by Geoffrey Jones Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Entrepreneurship in the Natural Food and Beauty Categories before 2000: Global Visions and Local Expressions Geoffrey Jones Harvard Business School August 2012 Abstract This working paper examines the creation of the global natural food and beauty categories before 2000. This is shown to have been a lengthy process of new category creation involving the exercise of entrepreneurial imagination. Pioneering entrepreneurs faced little consumer demand for natural products, and little consumer knowledge of what they entailed. The creation of new categories involved three overlapping waves of entrepreneurship. The first involved making the ideological case for natural products. This often entailed investment in education and publishing activities. Second, entrepreneurs engaged in the creation of industry associations which could advocate, as well as give the nascent industry credibility and create standards. Finally, entrepreneurs established retail stores, supply and distribution networks, and created brands. Entrepreneurial cognition and motivation frequently lay in individual, and very local, experiences, but many of the key pioneers were also highly globalized in their world views, with strong perception of how small, local efforts related to much bigger and global pictures. A significant sub-set of the influential historical figures were articulate in expressing strong religious convictions.
