Integrity And Values: Interview With Dr. Jim Sinegal, Costco Wholesale Corporation, Miles K. Davis, James D. Sinegal

New England Journal of Entrepreneurship

In describing his success, Sinegal attributes it to “just good business practices.” And while he was born into a Catholic family and supports Catholic causes, he does not necessarily tie his faith to the way he approaches business. That approach, he says, is based in learning how to do business with integrity and high values from an early mentor. The following interview outlines how Sinegal approaches business and how he works to establish integrity and high values throughout Costco Wholesale Corporation.
