Abstract

In January 1994, Igor and Ludmilla Ivanovic opened the doors of their bakery, Iggy's Bread of the World. This case describes their unusual mission statement and the way in which they try to bring a social consciousness mentality to a for-profit business. Six years later, they have grown beyond their physical and administrative capacity. The Ivanovics must decide how to reconfigure the leadership structure of the company without losing their control over the fundamentals.
