CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGERIAL INCOMPETENCE: LESSONS FROM KMART D. GORDON SMIm Modern corporategovernance scholars often extol an activist role by institutional investors in directing corporate activity. Widely viewed as a solution to the "collective action" problems that inhibit such activism by individual investors, institutional investors are praised for adding value to corporationsthrough their participationin the decisionmaking process. The ouster of Joseph Antonini as Chief Executive Officer of Kmart Corporation in 1995 might be taken as a vindication of this view, because substantialevidence indicates that institutionalinvestors played a crucial role in influencing Kmart's board of directors to remove him. In this Article, Professor Gordon Smith challenges this potential reading of the events at Kmart. Professor Smith poses the fundamental question of whether institutionalinvestor activism designed to address perceived incompetence among corporate managers consistently adds value to corporations in which such activism is present. ProfessorSmith analyzes the effect of internal and external forces on managers, particularly on Antonini.

YOUNG SEARS HOLDINGS CORP. is the latest company to join the store-closing game that is likely to be a WWD major feature of retailing in the year ahead. The company on Tuesday said it expects to close between 100 and 120 Kmart and Sears full-line WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2011 Q $3.00 Q WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY stores, or 5 percent of its 2,200 full-line store loca- tions. It joins the ranks of specialty women’s chains Talbots, Coldwater Creek and Christopher & Banks, which are cutting their store base by 12 to 15 percent each. In addition, Gap Inc. said at its annual inves- tors meeting in October that it plans to shave 189 locations from the brand’s nonoutlet fleet in North America, reducing it to 700 stores by the end of 2013. The planned closures indicate the increasing squeeze on retailers that have struggled through the holiday period, and even before. And Sears is perhaps among the most pressured of them all, as the strategy of chairman and owner, hedge fund bil- lionaire Edward Lampert, misfires in the current consumer environment. Further evidence of Sears’ financial woes came Tuesday, when the company said it expects to record a noncash charge of $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion in the fourth quarter in connection with a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets.

  • Wal-Mart and the Politics of American Retail
    Competitive Enterprise Institute Issue Analysis Wal-Mart and the Politics of American Retail by Zachary Courser November 18, 2005 Advancing Liberty From the Economy to Ecology 2005 No. 10 Wal-Mart and the Politics of American Retail by Zachary Courser EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The current public debate surrounding Wal-Mart fi ts within a historical context of democratic responses to changes in the retail sector. From Sears Roebuck and the emergence of the mail order industry in the late 19th century to the various chain stores that emerged during the 1920s, the American public has proven wary of retail innovations. Wal-Mart, as the largest retailer in America and the pioneer of the large discount chain store, is currently experiencing this same public wariness regarding its business practices and its role in the American economy. This report attempts to place Wal-Mart within the context of economic change and democratic protest that has replayed itself many times in retail history and to ask whether or not its business is good for America. Given the high levels of interest in Wal-Mart’s business and the level of criticism it is currently enduring, it is important to refl ect on past changes to the American retail sector to better understand how consumers and politicians should react to the perceived challenge that its critics claim it presents today. Beginning with the rise of Sears Roebuck and mail-order catalog houses in the late 19th century, continuing during the pioneering of chain store retail under Woolworth and A&P in the 20th century, and persisting into today with Wal-Mart’s “big-box” discount stores, Americans have always met changes to their retail economy with fear and loathing.
