”Alan and Harriet Lewis and Grand Circle Corporation demonstrate that emerging company owners are the true corporate heroes . . . the leading edge of a new approach to philanthropy and competitiveness.”
—Michael E. Porter, Harvard Business School
The travel industry has been one of the hardest hit by the recent recession. Yet Boston-based GrandCircle Corporation has been increasing profitability—and growing at a rate of nearly 20 percent per year—for the last two decades. Now, co-owners Alan and Harriet Lewis share the fascinating inside story of Grand Circle: how they grew their business into an international powerhouse, how they integrated their values and philanthropy into a working business model, and how they realized their dream of creating a different kind of company that profits everyone involved.
