Meta Blog Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 By Andy, cross-posted from The Charlotte Capitalist Steven Brockerman has part two of his posts on the life of Ken Iverson of Nucor:Iverson's company, now renamed Nucor, opened its first mini-mill in Darlington, South Caroline in June, 1969. Nucor's mission--recall--was to produce good, inexpensive steel for use in making Vulcraft joists and steel grates. But because of Iverson's business plan--lean and mean at every level, non-union workers, performance bonuses and high tech cost efficient production methods--Nucor suddenly found its low-cost, quality steel in great demand. Ken decided that Nucor could--and would--meet that demand. Part one here. http://ObjectivismOnline.com/blog/archives/000867.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
