Tension between the founder of a business and the managers
that eventually assume control is perhaps unavoidable. Such tension can be cut
with a knife in the film, The Founder (2016),
which tells the story of how McDonalds went from Dick and Mac McDonald’s
restaurant in San Bernardino, California to a nationwide corporation headed by
Ray Kroc. From an ethical standpoint, I submit that both the McDonald brothers
and Kroc come out as less than salubrious.
The full essay is at "The Founder."
