Chocolate Wars

The 150-year Rivalry Between The World's Greatest Chocolate Makers

BY DEBORAH CADBURY
As chocolate companies raced to compete around the globe, Quaker capitalism met a challenge that would eventually defeat it. In 2000 Cadbury's was the world's largest confectionary company. But before long it faced a threat to its very survival, and the chocolate wars culminated in a multi-billion pound showdown pitting independence and Quaker tradition against the cut-throat tactics of a corporate leviathan. Featuring a colorful cast of savvy entrepreneurs, brilliant eccentrics and resourceful visionaries, 'Chocolate Wars' is the story of a uniquely alluring product and of the evolution, for better and worse, of modern business.

It's about how we always should be striving to be honest and honorable in our dealings. It's about how we need to form peaceful partnerships so that everyone comes out a winner. It's about ethical values driving the way we manage business. And finally, it's about trying to discern God's will for us as we face the often difficult challenges of doing business today." - The author

Servant Leadership

This highly influential book has been embraced by cutting edge management everywhere. Yet in these days of Enron and what VISA CEO Dee Hock calls our "era of massive institutional failure," Greenleaf's seminal work must reach the mainstream now more than ever.

Wrestling With The Angel

Quaker Engagement In Commercial And Public Affairs

BY TONY STOLLER
This, the 2001 Swarthmore lecture, is the author's wake-up call to alert us to a falling-away from our previous tradition of concern in and support for those engaged in, commerce and public affairs. From his own experience he argues that, just as for Jacob confronting the Angel, this engagement is not without personal risk, and involves challenges for Quaker corporate work. His first-hand knowledge of the workings of commercial organizations, the media and public regulatory bodies encourages him to assert that engagement in these fields is worthwile witness for the individual and a proper obligation for our society.
