...Question 1. Success of Newell Corporate Strategy The strategy of Newell Corporation can be described as a strategy of related diversification. The diversification strategy may seem unrelated because Newell was acquiring companies from different industries (office products, picture frames, cookware etc.), but in fact the diversification was related on the basis of: 1) Deploying the unique resources of the company (management relationship with retailers, logistics etc.) 2) Using the same channels of distribution (Wall-mart, Kmart, etc) 3) Common characteristics of the products: low-technology, non- seasonal, non- cyclical, non-fashionable . The most representative quantitative data that proves the success of the Newell strategy is 10 years average return of 31% for investors, that was much higher than average market return of 18%. Also we can mention the stable growth of revenues and profit of the company, but these figures may be not very representative, because the growth in revenues could be a result of extensive growth of the company (if you acquire a lot of companies, your sales will grow for sure, but it is not an indicator of success). What is more important is a stable growth in earning per share in 1992-1997 from $1,05 to $1,82. Another indicator of stable financial situation in the company was a high level of liquidity. This fact could be mention not only on the level of competitive strategy, but also on the level of corporate strategy because the policy of relationship...

Newell spent thirteen years at Microsoft and emerged as a “Microsoft Millionaire.” Newell and his co-worker Mike Harrington left Microsoft in 1996 to begin their own company. The inspiration came from another former Microsoft employee named Michael Abrash. Abrash departed Microsoft to assist in creating the video game Quake at ID Software. In 1996, Newell and Harrington signed an LLC contract and founded the private company, Valve Corporation. Valve started off as purely a video game development company. By 1998, Valve had completed their first game titled Half-Life. Half-Life won over 50 game of the year awards and is considered one of...

...Newell Company-The Rubbermaid Opportunity When performing an internal analysis of Newell Company, a few common denominators of Newell’s businesses can be observed. Newell’s strategy was to acquire companies selling well-branded goods to mass retailers at low profit margins. The after the acquisition of theses companies, they would go through a process known as “Newellization.” The goal of “Newellization” was to align the newly acquired companies with Newell operations, with the end goal of turning profit margin to 10-15% within a period of less than 18 months. The companies targeted typically offered products that had operations similar in nature to Newell existing line of products but also offered growth prospects to develop the company as a whole. This allowed Newell to accomplish an integration of these companies rapidly and help achieve an overall efficiency. All of the businesses target the mass retail market. They target this market by distributing off-the-shelf products through mass-retail channels. This is one of the main reasons the Newell businesses achieved success as their value propositions of shelf space and on-time delivery were incorporated into their strategies. Newell also uses growing through acquisitions as another one of its corporate strategies. This is done by the leveraging of synergies among resources, not products, allowing things to be very consistent throughout each business and the newly acquired firms. I believe the critical corporate...

...Clash of the Cultures: The Case of Newell Rubbermaid Figure 15.13 © Thinkstock Over time, Newell Company grew to be a diversified manufacturer and marketer of simple household items. In the early 1950s, Newell Company’s business consisted solely of manufactured curtain rods. Since the 1960s, however, the company diversified through acquisitions of businesses for paintbrushes, writing pens, pots and pans, hairbrushes, and the like. Over 90% of its growth is attributed to many small acquisitions and the subsequent restructuring and cost cutting Newell instituted. Usually within a year of the acquisition, Newell would bring in new leadership and install its own financial controller in the acquired unit. Then, three standard sets of controls were introduced: an integrated financial accounting system, a sales and order processing and tracking system, and a flexible manufacturing system. Once these systems were in place, managers were able to control costs by limiting expenses to those previously budgeted. Administration, accounting, and customer-related financial accounting aspects of the acquired business were also consolidated into Newell’s corporate headquarters to further reduce and control costs. However, Newell compensated business managers well for performance. They were paid a bonus based on the profitability of their particular unit—in fact, the firm’s strategy was to achieve profits, not simply growth at the expense of profits. Newell managers could expect a base salary...

Does the company add value to the business within its portfolio? Newell has a successful corporate-level strategy which has definitely proven itself over nine decades with annual revenue reaching $6 billion. The corporate strategy is embedded on well defined pillars, which has a strong emphasis on the growth through acquisitions of top performing brands in relating industries, creating efficiencies though centralised administration with an assessment of the divisional performance in terms of profitability and distributing their products through mass retailers. Newell’s CEO believed acquisitions contributed towards growth strategy which provided “course corrections”, increasing their market power and striving towards $10 billion plus market mass which would help to reach the critical mass to help to increase their profitability and market dominance. I strongly believe that Newell corporate division adds value for its businesses within its portfolio. The head office is responsible for identifying, screening and acquiring strategically contributive entities and “Newellisation” process...

Being a soldier, killing the bad guys, or being the new star of European soccer fields scoring in the final of the UEFA Champions League, every men “normally” constituted has dreamed at least once to be in that situation, and video games can procure that kind of excitement. This is the reason why I choose to make my final e-business assignment on video games. Concerning my choice for the company, for me it was obvious to choose Steam. In my point of view, they have been the precursor of many things in e-business, or at least they were one of the first that used “e-novations”. Through the years, they have succeeded in being one of the most important company in this sector. Many factors have to be pointed out. First, the fact that they have created one of the best games ever made which is Half-Life. It allows them to have a world-wide recognition. Secondly, the Valve platforms, with its large numbre of games available, the exchange of data and information between players and users, have made them the first online retailer for video games.

...Diversification: Newell Co used a “related linked” diversification approach. Newell is organized into three business categories: Hardware/Home Furnishings, Office Products, and Housewares. These three business categories share distribution channels, such as supermarkets (Wal-Mart) and office supply stores (Staples). The products are sold under different brands and do not generally share any technology. Prior Diversification Efforts: According to the case, immediately after a new acquisition, “Newellization” typically took place in less than 18 months. In that time, three categories of standard Newell systems were introduced: an integrated financial system, a sales and order processing system, and a flexible manufacturing system. Corporate teams, composed of a few company executives, were assembled to centralize administration, accounting, and customer-related financial aspects, consolidating the systems into a single corporate computer system. Rubbermaid Acquisition: Rubbermaid had excellent skill with its ability to develop products, however, it struggled bringing that skill to the bottom line. For Rubbermaid, it will be a chance for a company to deliver its brand equity to the bottom line. While Newell has had much experience with acquisitions of smaller companies, Rubbermaid might be too large to digest. Rubbermaid had to restructure its operations twice, as well as customers complained that Rubbermaid could not provide the service that they required. These motives...

...From the Newell case, the main takeaways are that a company needs to have a clear direction or vision where it should be operate in and then it should create the competitive advantages in that space, follow with the consistent corporate strategy to sustain those competitive advantages. Newell started with a strong vision in providing quality products to mass retailers. Its competitive advantage is to set a strong brand recognition with the mass retailers by always full-filling their deliveries on time and offers wide range of products with strong brand identities that the end users demand from the retailers. To sustain these competitive advantages, Newell grew through acquisition of companies that fit its strategic goals and transformed these companies to operate more efficiently through economy of scale and centralization of corporate functions. With an excellent track record with the mass retailers, strong relationships between the executive teams, and the corporate environment fostering driven management teams, Newell created corporate advantages that reinforces its competitive advantages and made them extremely difficult to copy by the new entrants and to substitute by its competitors. Prior to acquisition of Calphalon and Rubbermaid, Newell created corporate advantages through 2 streamlines. First, Newell consistently generate growth through strategic acquisitions that aligned with its key goals of maximizing profit and servicing mass retailers. Second, Newell created corporate...

...9-704-491 REV: SEPTEMBER 2, 2005 CYNTHIA A. MONTGOMERY Newell Rubbermaid: Strategy in Transition Joe Galli, 43, was recruited to be the CEO of Newell Rubbermaid in January 2001, two years after the two companies were combined. His mission was to forge a turnaround after a string of disappointing earnings. As he moved ahead, Galli took a personal, hands-on approach. Always in motion, whether walking the aisles of retail stores, meeting with customers, or training his new cadre of managers, Galli’s energy seemed boundless. He strove to embody the attitudes and behavior he felt were vital to achieving his far-reaching agenda for the company. It was an agenda Wall Street seemed to like. In December, 2000, the month before Galli took over, Newell’s stock price dipped to $19.50; it closed at $35.99 in August of the following year.1 While still below the company’s historic high of $54.44 four years earlier, the momentum was forward.2 By the spring of 2003 Merrill Lynch, Prudential Financial, Fahnestock & Co., Inc. and Banc of America Securities maintained ‘buy’ ratings on the stock while Raymond James & Associates reiterated a ‘strong buy’. What did the future hold for the 100 year-old company?
