Moran Richard A.: The Accidental
Vineyard

The Accidental Vineyard

An Old House, New Vines, and a Changed Life in Wine Country

A lesson-packed success story for the twenty-first century, from a ninth-generation Kentuckian who imported the Silicon Valley playbook to the heartland, revealing how the entrepreneurial mindset can be applied anywhere, and even to our most stubborn industries. In his case: trash. When Nate Morris decided to build a business, he wasn’t looking to disrupt—he was looking for a problem to solve. Morris believed that the bigger the problem, the more the market would reward him for solving it. And one of the biggest problems, he came to believe, was one that every person, business, and community dealt with on a daily basis, but which was often overlooked: waste. American Trash is the moving story of how a ninth-generation Kentuckian—a boy who grew up being called “white trash”—applied the innovative thinking we associate with Silicon Valley startups to the ancient problem of waste. Raised on the scrappy resourcefulness of his grandfather, president of their local autoworkers’ union, Morris built Rubicon, a waste management company powered by digital technology. Unlike the bloated industry titans of yesterday, Rubicon was asset light: It wouldn’t own landfills, so it would be free of the perverse incentive to fill the land with chemical-laden trash, and it wouldn’t own trucks, so it would support “mom and pop” hauler businesses. Most important, it would be based in Georgia and Kentucky, thousands of miles from the near-sighted culture of Silicon Valley. In telling his story, Morris shows how he combined the great tradition of American entrepreneurship with the lessons of the digital economy—and did it far from the coastal bastions of the technology elite. The result is a blueprint for those seeking to tackle our biggest challenges with creative, free-market solutions.

Hard-Earned Lessons from a Heartland Entrepreneur

American Trash

Routledge Studies in Innovation, Organizations and Technology

Increasingly firms are moving away from the 'closed innovation paradigm' in which most R&amp;D is carried out in-house, in isolation and secrecy, to a more open way of working in which firms actively collaborate with other companies and institutions. Although this 'open innovation' is receiving more attention in academic research, the existing literature is largely qualitative and focused on the practices of high-technology multi-national firms and generally ignores the work being carried out in this area by SMEs. Using a combination of theory and cutting edge empirical (quantitative) investigation, Pooran Wynarczyk strives to address this major gap in current literature.

It is widely acknowledged that technological advances and scientific innovation are the most important sources of productivity growth and competiveness, as well as social and economic wellbeing. Increasingly, research and policy attention has come to focus on the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector as a key source of new product development, innovation and suppliers of new technologies. However, despite being recognised as vital parts of a dynamic process of the knowledge-based economy, there is relatively little known about the contemporary factors that contribute to the innovativeness, internationalization, economic performance and growth of SMEs. Increasingly firms are moving away from the ‘closed innovation paradigm’ in which most R&amp;D is carried out in-house, in isolation and secrecy, to a more open way of working in which firms actively collaborate with other companies and institutions. It has been claimed that this new form of collaboration provides access to technologies and facilities that would otherwise take years and major investment to acquire in-house. This ‘open innovation’ is of great benefit to any company, but is incredibly useful for SMEs in particular.Although open innovation is receiving more attention in academic research, the existing literature is largely qualitative and focused on the practices of high-technology multi-national firms and generally ignores the work being carried out in this area by SMEs.

Named one of Financial Times’s Best Books of 2025 New York Times reporter and bestselling author David Gelles reveals how Patagonia became a global leader in doing well by doing good and how other companies are adopting its principles. This is the inside story of one of the most extraordinary brands in the corporate world, the rare company that is driven by environmental activism instead of cutthroat capitalism. Founded in 1973, Patagonia has grown into a wildly popular producer of jackets, hats, and fleece vests, with a cultlike following among hardcore alpinists and Wall Street traders alike, posting sales of more than $1 billion a year. But it’s not just the clothes that make Patagonia unique. For decades, the company has distinguished itself as a singular beacon for socially responsible business, the rare company that can legitimately claim to be doing its damnedest to make the world a better place, while also making a profit. From its early efforts to take exemplary care of its employees, to its extensive work trying to clean up its supply chain, to its controversial activism, Patagonia has set itself apart from its peers with one unorthodox decision after another, proving that there is another way to do capitalism. At the heart of the story is Patagonia’s founder, the legendary rock climber Yvon Chouinard. A perennial outsider who forged one of the most impressive resumes in the outdoor world, Chouinard also established himself as a pivotal figure in the history of American business. Guided by his anti-authoritarian streak and his unwavering commitment to preserving the natural world, Patagonia came to exert a powerful influence on other companies, paving the way for a new era of social and environmental responsibility. He started out as a dirtbag—a term affectionately bestowed on poor, itinerant outdoorsmen so uninterested in material possessions they are happy to sleep in the dirt—and he became a billionaire. Chouinard also proved that there was another way to be a philanthropist. In the twilight of his career, he gave away Patagonia, renouncing his wealth and committing all its future profits to fighting the climate crisis. Drawing on exclusive access to Chouinard and the Patagonia team, Dirtbag Billionaire offers new insights into the key moments that informed their priorities, shaped the company, and sent ripples across the corporate world.

S.S. Pierce: A Boston Tradition chronicles the history of Samuel Pierce's iconic gourmet food and wine emporium. When Samuel Stillman Pierce opened his store in 1831, he vowed, "I may not make money for the next five years, but I shall make a reputation." Pierce went on to become well known as the purveyor of groceries, fancy goods, wines, and spirits to Bostonians in the nineteenth century, as well as providing provisions to the ships that sailed from Boston Harbor. Bartering with ship captains, he often exchanged his provisions for the delicacies that were brought to Boston from faraway ports. His renowned store catered to the carriage trade, and the company would be headed by four generations of the Pierce family. With its own coat of arms adorning a distinctive red label on canned goods, bearing the motto Puritas et Cura, and the largest line of privately packed fancy foods in the world, S.S. Pierce &amp; Company sold its wide assortment of delicacies at a chain of stores as well as through distributors across the United States and worldwide by mail order. S.S. Pierce &amp; Company was sold in 1967 to Laird Corporation, and in 1972 to Seneca Foods. Since 1986, it has been a part of Kraft Foods Group and M.S. Walker. In his book S.S. Pierce: A Boston Tradition, Anthony M. Sammarco recounts memories of the past and the shared tradition of how Bostonians reveled in the gourmet foods, fine wines, and Madeira of a once stalwart business.
