| 520 | 8 | |a Annotation |b The only rival to Harrison McCain's entrepreneurial success was his deep attachment to his Maritime roots. From McCain's beginnings in Florenceville, New Brunswick, the early mentorship he received from K.C. Irving, to the global success of his corporate empire McCain Foods, Donald Savoie presents a compelling and candid biography of one of the most famous and down-to-earth figures in Canadian business history. Savoie, a longtime friend to McCain, describes a driven, charismatic, and energetic man who had a keen wit and a deep commitment to his business and hometown. Through unprecedented access to McCain's papers and interviews with family members, friends, and colleagues, Savoie details the decisions that McCain made alongside his brother and business partner, Wallace McCain, from the company's humble beginnings to its expansion in Europe, Australia, India, and China. McCain saw the potential of globalization before others did. Despite conflict between the brothers and the eventual fracture of their partnership, Savoie presents the McCains' dedication as so immersed in the development of their company that they had little time left for second-guessing. At a time when New Brunswick struggles to reinvent itself economically, Savoie points to former government policies and programs that helped the company thrive and holds up the example of Harrison McCain with the hope of seeing Canadian success stories like this in the future. | |

Despite conflict between the brothers and the eventual fracture of their partnership, Savoie presents the McCains' dedication as so immersed in the development of their company that they had little time left for second-guessing. At a time when New Brunswick struggles to reinvent itself economically, Savoie points to former government policies and programs that helped the company thrive and holds up the example of Harrison McCain with the hope of seeing Canadian success stories like this in the future.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Title; Copyright; Contents; Preface; Illustrations; Introduction; 1 Roots Matter; 2 Planting the Seeds; 3 Getting a Job; 4 Launching a Business on a Wing, a Prayer, and a Helping Hand from Government; 5 Crazier Than Hell; 6 Florenceville Conquers Europe; 7 Fighting Down Under, in the United States, and on the Home Front; 8 Governance: Someone Else's Problem; 9 The Conflict; 10 Flying Solo; 11 Politics and Public Policy; 12 Family and Friends; 13 Could There Be Another Harrison McCain?; APPENDICES; A: Interviews; B: McCain Foods Chronology (1956-1993); C: McCain Foods Chronology (1994-2004).</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="8" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">NotesIndex; A; B; C; D; E; F; G; H; I; J; K; L; M; N; O; P; R; S; T; U; V; W; Y.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">McCain, H.

Montreal [Québec] ; Ithaca [New York] : McGill-Queen's University Press, [2013] 1 online resource (xii, 338 pages) : illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Footprints series ; 17 Includes bibliographical references (pages 293-315) and index. Annotation The only rival to Harrison McCain's entrepreneurial success was his deep attachment to his Maritime roots. From McCain's beginnings in Florenceville, New Brunswick, the early mentorship he received from K.C. Irving, to the global success of his corporate empire McCain Foods, Donald Savoie presents a compelling and candid biography of one of the most famous and down-to-earth figures in Canadian business history. Savoie, a longtime friend to McCain, describes a driven, charismatic, and energetic man who had a keen wit and a deep commitment to his business and hometown. Through unprecedented access to McCain's papers and interviews with family members, friends, and colleagues, Savoie details the decisions that McCain made alongside his brother and business partner, Wallace McCain, from the company's humble beginnings to its expansion in Europe, Australia, India, and China. McCain saw the potential of globalization before others did. Despite conflict between the brothers and the eventual fracture of their partnership, Savoie presents the McCains' dedication as so immersed in the development of their company that they had little time left for second-guessing. At a time when New Brunswick struggles to reinvent itself economically, Savoie points to former government policies and programs that helped the company thrive and holds up the example of Harrison McCain with the hope of seeing Canadian success stories like this in the future.
