Description

Companies run by foundations are considered to be an opaque form of enterprise. By examining the Carl Zeiss Optical Workshop from 1889 to 1993, the present work succeeds in providing a rare historical view into this “black box”: With no individual owner, Zeiss did not follow short-term profit interests, but instead focused on sustainable development that benefited both the company and the public.
