Listen "Activists Wreak Havoc"
Episode Synopsis
We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!Take a look at what's happening at Kohl's. Many activists make their move out of short-term greed and take down brands for short-term profit. Their goal? Replace current board members with activists' picks (Note: many bored, retired executives who want to get back in the game). The new activist-controlled board drives short-term financial engineering to yield a quick bump up in stock price. Then? They cash out. What's a CEO with a solid long-term strategic plan to do? Robin Lewis and Shelley E. Kohan, chief strategy officer of TRR, look into how activist pirates can break the C-suite spirit and break a brand.
