Entrepreneurs Howard Schultz and Margaret Hutchison Rousseau are both successful and well-known.
Schultz succeeded in turning a tiny regional operation into a national coffeehouse chain while Rousseau was a chemical engineer who designed the first commercial penicillin plant.
Both achieved their goals by setting up an ambitious strategy to secure new paths of growth. Rouseau´s plant enabled scientists to produce large quantities penicillin that save people´s lives.
Shultz efforts affected our life today in that he showed us about chain growth via rapid store expansion. However, Rousseau´s contributions and advancements made in penicillin production have saved many lives.
