From the Paper:

"Perdue Chickens is a company with several impressive aspects. First, from the beginning the company has had a dedication to quality which has benefited it greatly. At times such a dedication might reduce profits and increase waste, but in the long term it creates a reputation that benefits the company greatly. Second, the company has been willing from the first to restructure in the face of a changing environment. The company responds well to different market opportunities, to needs to reduce costs where possible, and to chances to vertically integrate when that is the best way to increase efficiency, save money, and assure a quality product. Third, in more recent yeas, the company has shifted to a people-oriented corporate structure, showing a recognition of the benefits of having a good and loyal workforce and the value of treating employees well to get the best out of them."
