  • Warren Buffett's Wild Ride at Salomon (Fortune, 1997)
    Warren Buffett's Wild Ride at Salomon (Fortune, 1997) Warren Buffett, interim chairman of Solomon Brothers, Inc., gestures during testimony before a House Commerce subcommittee on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., Sept. 5, 1991. Photograph by Marcy Nighswander — AP Photos By CAROL J. LOOMIS October 27, 1997 As Sanford I. Weill, 64, the dealmaking CEO of Travelers Group, steps up to his biggest acquisition ever—the purchase of Salomon Inc. for $9 billion—a famous Wall Street figure, Warren E.Buffett, 67, steps out of Salomon. His days there began almost precisely a decade ago, in the early fall of 1987, when his company, Berkshire Hathaway, became Salomon‘s largest shareholder and he moved in as a director. But that was training-wheels stuff, nothing to the high- wire unicycle act that came later: Buffett was physically, emotionally, and really at Salomon for nine months in 1991 and 1992, when the firm’s trading illegalities created a giant sucking sound that brought him in to run the place. Though much has been written about Buffett and Salomon, a lot of what you will read here will be new. I have been a friend of Buffett‘s for about 30 years and have long been a shareholder of Berkshire (though never a shareholder of Salomon). As a friend, I do some editing every year on Buffett‘s well-known annual report, and we have for eons talked about collaborating on a book about his business life. All this has given me many opportunities to learn Buffett‘s thinking. Some of what I’ve gleaned has ended up in FORTUNE stories that I wrote, most especially in an April 11, 1988, article, “The Inside Story of Warren Buffett,” and in an accompanying box, “The Wisdom of Salomon?” But much of what I learned about Buffett‘s experiences at Salomon in 1991 was confidential, embargoed by him because Salomon was both struggling to regain its footing and dealing with big legal problems.

Strategic Audit of Adidas An Undergraduate Honors Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of University Honors Program Requirements University of Nebraska-Lincoln by Mason Wright, BS Computer Science College of Arts and Sciences April 11, 2019 Faculty Mentor: Sam Nelson, Ph.D., Management Abstract Adidas is a well-established brand in the world of sportswear and lifestyle clothing. In recent years, the company has been regaining success after a period of stagnation. Spurring this success is the renewed popularity of old classic shoe models and a surge in the lifestyle clothing trend. While adidas is doing well, it is not the top sportswear company in the world and is far behind in North America. In an attempt to boost the recent success even further, this thesis analyzes the current situation that adidas faces including its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. With this information as a background, this paper then discusses potential new strategies for adidas, ultimately deciding that obtaining a larger number of star athlete endorsements is a strategy that could quickly make a large impact for the company.

  • Maxwell, First IPO for 2011 Written by Insider Asia 05 January 2011
    Maxwell, first IPO for 2011 Written by Insider Asia 05 January 2011 China-based sports footwear designer and manufacturer, Maxwell International Holdings is slated to be the first initial public offering (IPO) listing on Bursa Malaysia this year. The stock will make its debut on the local bourse tomorrow. A slightly different shoe manufacturer Maxwell is the seventh China-based company to be listed on the local bourse and the fifth that is related to the footwear industry. As with its peers, Maxwell’s factory is located in Jinjiang, Fujian province, which is the footwear hub for China. The industry is extremely fragmented and highly competitive. Statistics indicate at least 3,000 shoe manufacturers in the vicinity ranging from small- scale cottage industries to large-scale automated production lines. However, Maxwell differs slightly in that it focuses on the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and ODM (original design manufacturer) segments of the sports shoe market. Its products are primarily court sports shoes (for soccer, tennis, skateboarding, basketball, badminton, baseball) and casual sports shoes (boots, shoes for children, hiking, retro and leather). As an OEM, the company manufactures sports shoes according to the specifications and designs provided by customers. Should it be required to, it can also design, develop and manufacture products for its customers (ODM). Maxwell counts well-known global brand names such as Yonex, Diadora, Kappa, Brooks and FILA as its end- customers although the company deals primarily with trading houses and brand distributors that represent these brands. By contrast, K-Star Sports, XiDeLang and Xingquan International are primarily own brand manufacturers (OBM) — that is their products are marketed and sold under proprietary brand names and distribution networks.
