Answer 2

Owen's greatest success was the society model implemented in the New Lanark cotton-manufacturing community in Lanarkshire, Scotland. This company was founded by an entreprenuer named David Dale, who's daughter, Caroline, was married to Robert Owen. Dale sold the company to his son-in-law in 1799. Under Owen's management, the milling community became a model society. Owen implemented a new educational system in the community, free medical care for workers, and a community education center for the workers called the Institute for the Formation of Character. Robert Owen's policies are now widely accepted as precursors to modern theories on human resource management and efficient, ethical business practices. His model society inspired infant education, humane working practices, community-focused business systems, and a new moral vision.
