Book SynopsisKrispy Kreme's success goes well beyond being a retail phenomenon. This book shows you what went on behind the scenes to build the company. Along the way, it teaches you how you can take a product that is seemingly counter-culture and turn it into an addictive brand.Trade ReviewAlthough it began humbly in 1937, Krispy Kreme and its 300 retail outlets in America sell more than two billion doughnuts a year. Seeking the secrets of Krispy Kreme's enormous success, Kazanjian and Joyner, both business writers, offer a tantalizing taste of the corporate strategies that have established the company's reputation. Drawing on interviews with company employees, business professors and customers, the authors discover that the recipe for Krispy Kreme's sweet success contains 12 major ingredients, such as "mix good taste with show business," "maintain high standards," "expand and protect your brand" and "give back to the community." As the authors point out, the company has very shrewdly customize its stores down to the windows that provide an opportunity to watch the process of doughnut making. Such tactics draw customers into the baking experience itself and make them feel like part of the larger Krispy Kreme "family." The authors also point out that Krispy Kreme has depended primarily on word of mouth, good community relations and repeat business to promote their products. In order to ensure quality, Krispy Kreme puts applicants for franchises through an elaborate screening process, often refusing even seasoned fast food franchisees because they do not fit the company's image. While the authors repeat many of the same stories far too often and sometimes sugar over the company's faults, they have written an enjoyable profile of one of America's most loved companies. (Oct.) (Publishers Weekly, August 18, 2003) Customer loyalty plays a big role in the success of any company, and given that Krispy Kreme's fans are legion, it makes sense that Kazanjian (Value Investing with the Masters) and Joyner (News & Record magazine) relate stories of the die-hard donut lovers in this comprehensive history. The authors go back to the company's founding in 1937, purchase by Beatrice Foods in 1976, subsequent purchase in 1982 by franchise owners, and IPO in 2000, covering topics such as growth, marketing, employee turnover, and philanthropic efforts. Since going public. Krispy Kreme has embarked on a more aggressive expansion campaign, and the authors outline the rigorous screening that potential franchise developers must go through. Along the way, Krispy Kreme has diversified by acquiring a coffee-roasting company and a line of bakeries. The last part of the book includes a company time line as well as notes. Recommended for all libraries, especially those in North Carolina, where the company has its headquarters. (Index not seen.) —Stacey Marien. American Univ. Lib.

Book SynopsisFood safety and hygiene is of critical importance to us all, yet, as periodic food crises in various countries each year show, we are all dependent on others in business and public regulation to ensure that the food we consume in the retailing and hospitality sectors is safe. Bridget Hutter considers the understandings of risk and regulation held by those in business and considers the compliance pressures on managers and owners, and how these relate to understandings of risk and uncertainty. Using data from an in-depth case study of the food retail and catering sectors in the UK, the research investigates how business risk management practices are influenced by external pressures such as state regulation, consumers, insurance and the media and by pressures within business. The argument of the book is that food businesses in the UK are generally motivated to manage risk. They realize that good risk management aligns with good business practice. However, there are challenges for an industry that is highly segmented in terms of risk management capacity. The findings have implications for contemporary risk regulation in the increasingly number of countries that rely on self-regulation. Managing Food Safety and Hygiene will prove invaluable for academic researchers and students in risk regulation studies, business studies, food studies, organizational studies, social psychology, socio-legal studies, sociology, management, public administration and political science. In addition, the book will also appeal to practitioners specifically to senior policy makers, regulators and business risk managers charged with managing risk in diverse organizational settings, and across different functional jurisdictions.

Book SynopsisOver the last decade, human resource management has come to be viewed as the dominant paradigm within which analyses of the world of work have been located. This volume examines the nature and assesses the impact of HRM within a highly under-researched division of the service sector, namely the UK hotel industry. Common perceptions of management practices in the hotel industry typically include work intensification, high labour turnover, lack of training and poor career prospects, and casualised terms and conditions of employment. Using data from a survey of over 200 hotels, this book challenges such stereotypes by demonstrating that this part of the service sector is just as likely to have experimented with new approaches to HRM as the manufacturing industry. It suggests that primary influences on managerial decision-making in the hotel industry are no different from the primary influences affecting decision-making elsewhere, countering the argument that mainstream management tTrade Review'...this book is a signal contribution to our understanding of major hotel employment relations...In more ways than one, this book is a valuable, welcome addition to a more balanced literature.' - Journal of Industrial Relations September 2001Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction and framework for analysis; Chapter 2 Is there a role for HRM in the hotel industry?; Chapter 3 New approaches toHRM in the hotel industry; Chapter 4 Influences on HRM in the hotelindustry; Chapter 5 HRM in practice in the hotelindustry; Chapter 6 HRM and performance in the hotel industry; Chapter 7 Conclusion; Bibliography; INDEX;
