JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT INC.
The following four-page briefing paper is designed to outline
the objectives of the national economic-education organiza-
tion and provide some facts and figures for use by President
Bush, his speech-writing and public-relations staffs.
Mission Statement
To enhance America's economic vitality by providing our young
people and the changing work force with experience-based
economic education through partnerships responsive to business,
education and community needs.
JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT AT-A-GLANCE
Junior Achievement is the oldest, largest and fastest-
growing economic-education organization in the world.
1,115,000 students in four economic-education programs,
reaching students in the 4th through 12th grades.
100,000 volunteers - including 30,000 business executives
in classrooms, working side-by-side with teachers
providing some 780,000 hours of volunteer time.
More than $50 million from the private sector is being
focused on America's schools, with tens of thousands
more provided through pro-bono services and equipment.
Some 100,000 additional students in 17 foreign countries.
Junior Achievement founded the National Business Hall of
Fame in 1975. A permanent exhibit at the Museum of
Science and Industry in Chicago currently showcases 114
inductees chosen independently by the Board of Editors of
FORTUNE Magazine. Six new laureates will be inducted on
March 16 in Colorado Springs.
Junior Achievement is at the forefront of America's new effort
for voluntarism. Our organization is focusing the energies of
100,000 points of light, a virtual super-nova of volunteers.
That makes Junior Achievement the largest single private-sector
initiative with education. It is an excellent example of what
can happen when volunteers and the private sector get involved
with education.
THE PROGRAMS OF JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT
Applied Economics: Our showcase program, AE is a full-fledged,
one-semester course offering high school credit through an
economics curriculum developed by Junior Achievement. Reaching
215,327 students in 8,281 classrooms.
While the teacher guides students through a comprehensive
textbook, a business consultant leads the class one day a
week, placing economic theory into a practical context.
Students form a mini-company and sell stock to produce and
market a product or service.
The consultant uses a microcomputer and management-
simulation software to help students understand how one
company's business decisions can affect the profitability
of all competitors in the marketplace.
Students learn through hands-on experiences and the advice
and counsel of the business consultant who acts as mentor
and role model for the young people.
Project Business: A business person visits a junior high class-
room weekly to enhance existing social studies or economics
curriculum. This flexible program includes elements that can
excite students about finance and business, and give them long-
term goals to help keep them in school. Reaching 486,016
students in 18,693 classrooms.
Business Basics: Graduates of Junior Achievement's high school
programs help introduce economic concepts to 4th, 5th and 6th
graders. By teaching younger students, older students rein-
force their own knowledge, gain speaking and leadership skills,
and act as role models for impressionable elementary school
students. Reaching 338,558 students in 13,021 classrooms.
JA Company Program: The traditional after-school Junior
Achievement program, founded in 1919. Students incorporate a
mini-company, create and sell a product or service, then
distribute profits among company stockholders. Reaching 75,812
students in 2,916 mini-company operations.
NEW THRUSTS IN ECONOMIC EDUCATION:
Junior Achievement has agreed to extend its Rural
Outreach program to work with Oklahoma State University
on providing satellite-delivered instruction.
We recently have increased our involvement in local
dropout prevention efforts with the Boston Compact, the
Ford Foundation in New York City, and the Cincinnati
Youth Collaborative, along with others in Memphis, Pitts-
burgh, Providence, R.I., and Charlotte, N.C.
THE STRUCTURE OF JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT
National Headquarters: Colorado Springs, Colorado. Operating
on an $8 million national budget and helping to coordinate
local budgets totalling more than $50 million.
Local Offices: 237 franchises, serving more than 1,100 communi-
ties. Each operates through a board of directors comprised of
local business, education and civic leaders.
National Leadership:
Lodwrick M. Cook, chairman and CEO, ARCO, is national chairman;
Karl Flemke is president and CEO, Junior Achievement Inc.

tion, the Phillips Petroleum Foundation and the 3M Corporation.
Growth: The support of American business was instrumental in
the creation of Junior Achievement 70 years ago and has helped
the organization keep pace with changing times. From North-
eastern roots, the organization expanded rapidly after World
War II, and in 1963 reached 100,000 students for the first
time. When Junior Achievement moved to in-class programs in
1975, there were approximately 250,000 students involved annu-
ally. In the intervening 15 years, student involvement has
more than quadrupled.

LOD COOK:
via stage right
Good afternoon. I want to welcome all of
steps
you to the 1989 National Business
Leadership Conference. As general
conference chairman I am honored to
host this event here in beautiful
Colorado Springs at the foot of the
magnificent Rocky Mountains. It's an
even greater pleasure because we're
here at the home of Junior Achievement's
National Headquarters.
-2-
3-4-89
Since its inception in 1975 ... this
annual event has served an important
role. On one day each year the top
business leaders of our nation gather for
a unique opportunity to share ideas and
information ... and then later on in
the evening ... to pay tribute to other
business leaders who are inducted as
laureates into the National Business
Hall of Fame.
On this special day each year ... we
celebrate America's private enterprise
system and we honor a special few who
represent the very best of business.
-3-
3-4-89
Junior Achievement showed magnificent
foresight by initiating this event 14
years ago. The organization has been
untiring in its effort to keep the flame
burning brightly through the years
and to encourage major cities around the
country to host the NBLC.
Now I'd like to introduce Junior
Achievement's partner in the NBLC and the
National Business Hall of Fame Mr.
James B. Hayes the publisher of
FORTUNE Magazine. FORTUNE has played a
critical role since this event began back
in 1975.

Jim and his staff are very active with
Junior Achievement. Jim has taught
Project Business to junior high school
students in New York City and seven
of his staff people have also taught
classes. Now that's partnership!
Jim, please stand so that we can all see
you.
We also have with us today Mr. Pete Silas
... chairman and chief executive officer
of Phillips Petroleum. Pete has just
provided a grant of $243,000 to Junior
Achievement.

This grant will be used to broadcast
Junior Achievement's high school in-class
program Applied Economics to
classrooms across the country via
satellite.
Professor Donald Bumpus from Oklahoma
State University will teach the class
during a live broadcast three times a
week for an entire semester. The other
two days each week the students will take
part in student company activities and
computerized management simulation
exercises under the supervision of a
business consultant from the local
community.

The program will be kicked off next fall.
What's particularly exciting about this
is that students will be able to ask

And I guess you've heard the rumor. We

United States here to speak to us
tonight.
Tonight's National Business Hall of Fame
induction ceremonies will be the apex of
this great day.
Right now I have a bit of sad news to
share. Many of you are aware that Royal
Little the founder of Textron and
one of the first laureates inducted into
the National Business Hall of Fame in
1975 passed away on January 12th.
-15-
3-4-89
Royal Little was a dedicated supporter of
Junior Achievement. He was a frequent
speaker at Junior Achievement events in
Providence, Rhode Island.
He was generous in his cash donations
and he founded the Little Family
Fellowships scholarships for Junior
Achievement alumni studying for masters
degrees at select business schools across
the country.
Royal Little was an outstanding business
man and a good friend. We at Junior
Achievement will miss him.

Now I'd like to recognize the leaders

Award areas. They are seated at the

To win the Golden Circle award
a
Junior Achievement field area must
qualify as a Summit City our award

also have had measurable growth for three
consecutive years and be in the top
ten percent of growth for this past
year.

And now to present Junior Achievement's
highest award for national volunteer
leadership the S. Bayard Colgate
Memorial Award.
-35-
3-4-89
Colgate was one of the truly great
pioneers of the National Junior
Achievement movement. Chairman of the
Board of the Colgate-Palmolive Company
... He was a member of the national board
of directors and the executive committee
for more than 20 years. During this
period he served as Chairman of the Board
of Junior Achievement Incorporate and
he was a dominant force behind its
emergence as a national organization.
Despite his demanding career Bayard
Colgate believed it was essential to
expand Junior Achievement so that young
people across the nation could benefit
from it.
-36-
3-4-89
The Colgate Memorial Award was
established in 1964 to recognize
individual efforts by volunteers who have
affected the development of the
organization and its programs in any
way.
This year's winner of the Colgate Award
is incredibly committed to Junior
Achievement. A member of our national
board since 1981 she has served on
the communications and marketing
committee and has been very generous with
her time and money.
-37-
3-4-89
She has helped many local areas recruit
new board members and raise money by
hosting fund raising dinners. She is our
national spokesperson and has
contributed her talents for public
service announcements and other
advertising campaigns.
She hosts the annual Dinah Shore/Junior
Achievement Golf Tournament here at the

figure at the N.B.L.C. in years past.

Thank you Lod.
We are pleased and proud as Lod said
earlier ... to have you here with us in
our new home town of Colorado Springs.
I hope you had a chance to tour our
National Headquarters building this
morning. It's a great facility that's
allowed us to meet the needs of our field
operations more efficiently.
We have had outstanding support from the
community leaders here since we opened
our headquarters nearly two years ago.
-41-
3-4-89
As you can see all around you there
is no more beautiful place on earth. The
people here are friendly and helpful. And
I know you'll enjoy your visit here as
much as we all enjoy living here.
Each year I become more and more excited
about Junior Achievement because we
are reaching more and more young people
every year with practical ... relevant
economic education programs for students
in fourth grade through high school.
Last year we reached an important
milestone in the history of Junior
Achievement. We reached more than one
million students on one year.
-42-
3-4-89
And we're still growing. The way we're
going I have no doubt that we'll
reach two million students before long.
Illiteracy is a hot topic these days in
corporate America. It's become painfully
clear that if America is going to be able
to continue to take part in world
competition ... our young people will
have to have a good education.
They must also be economically literate
... so they'll understand how our system
works and how they will fit into the
big picture.
-43-
3-4-89
Junior Achievement is an essential part
of this formula for success. It is
critical to America's future that workers
and managers of tomorrow be economically
literate. The jobs of tomorrow will
require young people to be even better
prepared than in the past.
Students will no longer be able to get an
entry-level job requiring no specialized
skills.
As a matter of fact most entry-level
jobs will require at least an Associate's
degree to qualify.
-44-
3-4-89
Junior Achievement's high school program
... Applied Economics gives young
people hands-on experience in the world
of work. Consultants from the business
community help teach the class each week
... and share their real-world
experiences with their students. It's a
golden opportunity for business to get
involved in the educational process
...
and it's a chance to make a difference in
America's future work force.
Most of you here today are strong
supporters of Junior Achievement. Your
efforts are helping build economic
literacy and the future of America.

the heroes of the business world. Their lives

in history. They are role models for us who
work in business every day and for the
young people who will take our places in

It is most appropriate that a great
organization like Junior Achievement has
established the National Business Hall of Fame
tradition and that they created the
permanent Hall of Fame exhibit at the Museum

Junior Achievement is dedicated to preserving

As chairman of Junior Achievement's national

business and education to the youth of our
country. Last year more than one million
students from the fourth through the twelfth

four programs.

or by their philanthropy. Although many of
the people elected to the National Business
Hall of Fame have contributed generously to
educational and cultural organizations
this is not the criteria upon which FORTUNE
bases its selections.

What we look for are the truly great
visionaries. People blessed with special
insight into the possibilities offered by
American Business ... Boeing, Disney, Eastman,
Edison, Ford, Hilton, Rockefeller, Whitney,
Hewlett, Packard, Perot.
These are but a handful of the 120 people
selected over the years by FORTUNE's Board of
Editors.
Not only did these individuals turn their
dreams into realities, they enriched our
world, improved our lives, expanded our
choices, and nudged us in the direction of a
better tomorrow.

The range of creativity, business acumen,
entrepreneurial talent, and flair represented
by these giants has been truly stunning.
Tonight's honorees are now ready to join this
prestigious group. Their stories have already
been seen in a special report in the March
13th issue of FORTUNE. That report brought
their remarkable achievements to the attention
of nearly three million readers around the

Each of the six people being honored tonight
are splendid examples of the leadership we
must continue to encourage if our nation is to
compete successfully in the global marketplace
of today and tomorrow.

Current Portrait
Marvin Bower's name never became a household word
of Bower w/super
but his management expertise profoundly affected the

world of business in America.
(Music - ?)
Knicker suit
The father of modern management consulting was born in
Cincinatti on August first, 1903. His childhood was
unremarkable. Marvin Bower was just a good kid.

He was graduated from Brown University in 1925. He went
right on to Harvard to earn a law degree

(music change)
McKinsey portrait
In 1933
Bower joined James McKinsey and Company
a management consulting firm that gave financial and
management advice to corporations in an age when
consultants were used as specialists in areas such as
personnel and compensation.
Young portrait #3
Bower came on board as the third man. His first job was
to make recommendations for the bondholders committee of
the failing Savoy Plaza Hotel. In characteristic style
he went above and beyond the call of duty
to
study the hotel's operations
and show the committee
how the hotel could be turned into a profitable
business.
McKinsey obit
McKinsey died in 1937. 34-year-old Marvin Bower stepped
in and began to build McKinsey to match his vision.
Lineup #1
Bower had two ideas that would help him realize his
goal.
First
that every company

that management consulting was a profession

He was firm in his intention to maintain the integrity
photos
of this new profession. He turned down consulting
opportunities when he believed it wouldn't be in the
client's interest
or when he felt the company's top
management was not committed to the project.
young grads
Bower wanted his consultants to be a certain type of
professional. He broke with tradition by hiring young
recent business school graduates who possessed strength

of character as well as personality and intelligence
because he believed that knowledge of industry and
consulting skills could be learned.
At McKinsey
...
ideas counted more than the tenure of
the people who had them. But it was imperative to
perform superbly if you hoped to stay around. Young
consultants were expected to advance rapidly or leave.
Even today
only one in six of the people who joins
McKinsey will become a partner.

Hat montage
Bower's personal management style was exemplified by the
dress code he established
which
in the early
days required all consultants to wear a hat to work
every day.

Although Bower was firm about professionalism

there
was a relaxed friendliness about the place. One day

When the Japanese turned memory chips
into a commodity, Intel had a couple of
tough years. But the company was saved
again by invention: It developed the micro-
processor that powers personal computers.
By its 15th birthday in 1983, Intel's reve-

proached $3 billion, and profits rose to
$453 million.
Imaginative as he is, Noyce remarks that

described as "not fun. but of consuming in-

like a bomber in midflight.
Such intensity enabled Persons, who is
called Buck, to take Emerson Electric from
obscurity as a manufacturer of fans and
small electric motors to technological and
managerial preeminence. When he retired
in 1974 after 20 years as chief executive,
Emerson's revenues exceeded $1 billion. Far
more significant, earnings set new records in
each of the last 15 years of Persons' tenure,
which included four major recessions.

Business is a total enterprise. Con-
sultants must be able to tell managers what
the people inside won't tell them."
Like other consultants, McKinsey is S6
cretive about its clients and the nature C.
the work it does for them. But among the
clients have been giants, at home and
abroad. And the firm's influence extends
beyond even that scope. McKinsey has not
only reaped but sown, as thousands of its
former partners have left the firm to take
executive jobs all over the world.
At McKinsey, Bower both advised oth-
ers about how to manage growth and man-
aged it himself. McKinsey's yearly billings
went from $2 million when he became
managing director in 1950 to ten times that
amount when he stepped down in 1967.
Building on Bower's base, the firm now
bills in excess of $600 million a year.
For years Bower imposed a dress code
not unlike the one Tom Watson laid down
at IBM, insisting that professionals wear
hats to work. But one day he came to work
bareheaded. A new arrival asked an old
hand whether everyone was therefore free
to do the same. The response showed the
respect with which people at McKinsey still
regard the old fox. "Better wait six weeks,"
was the reply. "It might be a trap."

home life was jammed with all the pleasures of Job: Two of his

borrow money from brothers and sisters to buy a news-

once said, "The only thing to do with money in the newspaper
business is leave it in the newspaper business."
Newhouse never had a superstructure of secretaries or staff as-
sistants-impedimenta that his sons just as carefully avoid today.
But there was nothing careless about his style. "I am never off-
handed about money," he remarked. Only the size of the family
limited what Newhouse did. "I will not let growth go beyond the
point where attention to detail cannot be paid by key members of
the family," he commented. Judging by what he left behind. that
has not proved a severe restriction.

in charge of new products, traffic control,
and Caterpillar's military engines.
War's end found Caterpillar with a great
opportunity-and a considerable exposure
to risk. Thousands of Caterpillar machines
were abandoned in foreign countries. These
machines would need servicing and parts,
but most countries lacked import dollars.
"The world was short of our equipment-
and we could not supply the world from
Peoria," says Blackie. In many countries
local manufacturers started making parts
for Caterpillar equipment. In some cases
the parts made by these "gypo" manufac-
turers were so inferior that Caterpillar's
cherished record for reliable products
might be hurt. A graver danger was that
parts making would lead to full-scale
manufacturing, in which case Caterpillar
might lose its export markets. The only
answer was for Caterpillar to organize
manufacture abroad.
Caterpillar soon had plants in Blackie's
own Glasgow, as well as in Brazil, France,
and Belgium. The plant in Japan is a fifty-
fifty joint venture and Blackie is especially
pleased when Japanese associates refer to it
as a "sixty-sixty" venture. Did these plants

area where Caterpillar manufactured
became a better market for Caterpillar's
exports from the U.S.

IAN KINLOCH MacGREGOR (born: 1912)
Some critics of industrial civilization say it is
bound to be harsh and inhuman because it is
based in mining. The indictment runs: the farm-
er cherishes his crops, the miller his stream, the
shepherd his flock; but the rapacious miner, dis-
emboweling the earth, comes to treat people as
ores to be exploited.
Whatever plausibility this thesis once pos-
gessed has been eroding. It won't be believed
by anyone who examines the career of lan Mac-
Gregor, retired c.e.o. of AMAX: MacGregor was
trained as a metallurgist in his native Scotland
and his whole career has been in minerals. But
in truth his career has been spent in foreseeing
the needs of people, in reducing the costs of
meeting those human needs, and in developing
a managerial style that depended on teamwork
and consensus, not on arbitrary power. Mac-
Gregor's international reputation as an execu-
is based more on his skill in human relations
on engineering.
His orientation toward group endeavors was
established early. When a British company in-
sisted on putting him in its research laboratory,
he quit. "In a lab I would be working by myself.
I felt more at home in a factory, working with
people." As Britain turned to defense produc-
tion, MacGregor, not yet thirty, was simulta-
neously advising his government on tank design
and running a plant with 2,500 employees.
After Dunkirk, the British government sent
him to Washington, one of a small group of ex-
perts dealing with technical aspects of arms pur-
chasing. The scope of his job quickly broadened;
he had a hand in the formation of joint U.S.-Brit-
ish policies of war production. By war's end he
knew more about American industry than about
British, and he decided to stay in the U.S.

affair with the open road, Americans made
do with astonishingly primitive lodgings.
Kemmons Wilson got a taste of them in
1951 when he took his wife and their five
children by station wagon from their
home in Memphis to see the sights of
Washington, D.C. But what made "my
Scottish blood boil," he recalls, was that
the motels charged $2 a head for kids even
though they were bunking in the same
room as their parents. "This isn't fair!" he
ranted to his wife. "I'm going back and
build a chain of motels, and we'll never
charge extra for children."
Dorothy Wilson just chuckled, but Kem-
mons was dead serious. A year later he
opened the first Holiday Inn, named for a
