As part of Beta Gamma Sigma’s Ethical Business Leadership initiative, the Society is seeking to spark a global discussion about
this issue and its importance to the business community. To that end, members of the BGS Board of Governors have been meeting
with corporate executives to discuss this important topic, and to learn what these companies and businesses are currently doing to ensure ethics is a core part of their business.

Over the last 40-plus years, Chick-fil-A has set out to “Be America’s best quick-service restaurant.” As the Atlanta-based restaurant chain has strived to live up to that goal, it has earned some of the most prestigious awards and recognitions in the quick-service industry, and has enjoyed 40 years of consecutive annual sales increases, including the last 14 with double-digit growth.
A family business, currently in its second generation of leadership, Chick-fil-A has further distinguished itself by establishing and maintaining a sense of family and community at all levels of operation.
In February 2008, Robert D. Reid, Dean of James Madison University’s College of Business, sat down with Dan T. Cathy, President and COO of Chick-fil-A, and discussed the company’s unique approach to corporate culture. The following are excerpts from that conversation.
