Mad in Seattle: Microsoft's Proxy Fight Is All Wrong
I know this marks me as oh-so-last century, but one American military officer fighting in Vietnam was quoted as saying, "We had to destroy the village to save it." In other words, to prevent the village from falling into the hands of the Commies, it had to be torched. ...

Goodbye, Eddie Lampert. We Hardly Knew Ye.
Well, it looks official. As I have warned previously in these pages, Eddie Lampert's wild experiment at Sears is coming to an end. Even the Wall Street Journal (on Wednesday Jan. 23) and now the New York Times (see this link, from Friday) agree that he does not know what...

Did Meg Whitman Fail?
This is a tough question to ask because Meg Whitman has been a legendary Silicon Valley CEO for 10 years and one of America's leading women CEOs, but ask it we must: does her expected departure from eBay at the age of 51 signal a management failure on her part?...

McKinsey: Get Ready For More Foreign M&As
The latest McKinsey Quarterly is out with a story that asks, are mergers and acquisitions over? The obvious answer is no, of course. But McKinsey's article makes a very important observation: the wave of private equity and hedge fund deals in the United States may beĀ flaming out, but there is...

Do Sears' Troubles Hint At Coming Wave of Bankruptcies?

Chrysler, Private Equity and The Future Auto Industry
Many people seem surprised by the depth of job cutbacks at Chrysler--11,000 more hourly and salaried jobs in the United States and Canada, and reduced shifts at five other plants. That comes on top of 13,000 job cuts earlier this year. But this is the new reality...
