Taking The Long View

摘要

AS A vice president for one of the biggest cherry growing operations in the U.S., Orchard View Farms, Ken Bailey would be expected to have a nice office with a window. And he does, but his window looks out not on the soaring slopes of The Dalles, OR,nor on lush orchards, but on a packingline. A pack-ingline that on this July day near the end of the season is bagging and boxing a full 18 tons of fruit per hour. Why would you want a window on this cacophony? "It just creates openness," says Bailey. "But it's also symbolic of our philosophy: We're certainly not hiding anything from our employees."
