Kanuk jackets are made for Quebec winters鈥攂ut Quebec winters aren鈥檛 as cold as they used to be. Bertrand Cesvet (BA鈥86, MBA鈥88) wants to make Kanuk jackets more versatile. Cesvet led a group of investors who recently bought the Montreal winter wear company from Champlain Financial, a private equity group. Cesvet shares with La Presse the company鈥檚 plans to sell jackets that are more suited to temperature fluctuation, making its products more appropriate for markets where it plans to expand, such as the United States.
Changes to an organization鈥檚 structure are tangible but don鈥檛 necessarily bring about any concrete results. Consider the example of the UK鈥檚 National Health Service. It regularly reorganizes but doesn鈥檛 change much. 鈥淭he reason is simple,鈥 says Professor Henry Mintzberg in an interview with Business People.

Growing up, she had seen how stressful running the company could be for her father Andrew, who had a heart attack at the age of 47. 鈥淚 always had a ton of respect and passion and admiration for the business but it wasn鈥檛 something I wanted for myself,鈥 says Stein. 鈥淚 changed and the business changed.
