3. Case Study
Du Pont (E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co, of
Wilmington, Delaware) was founded as a gunpowder manufacturer early in the
1800s. Explosives dominated its business through World War I. After the war, it
began to diversify. Acquisitions and joint ventures became more prominent
during the last fifteen years. In 1981 it acquired Conoco, a major oil company.
In 1991 Du Pont joined with prescription drug company Merck & Co. In1992,
in a joint venture with Crop Genetics, Du Pont moved into the bioinsecticide field.
In 1993 it bought Imperial Chemical’s nylon business, and today it remains the
largest chemical company in the United States.
Dow (The Dow Chemical Co. of Midland, Michigan) was
formed in the late 1800s. Its first product was chlorine bleach, and numerous
others soon followed. The need for chemicals during each of the world wars
resulted in Dow emerging as the second largest chemical company in the United
States. During the 1980’s Dow made several acquisitions, most notably Merrell
pharmaceuticals, Texise cleaning products, and Essex Chemical, a leading
producer of automotive sealants and adhesives. In the late 1980s, Dow joined
with Eli’s Lilly and Company’s fungicide business to create Dow Elanco, a major
producer of agricultural chemicals. Thus, like Du Point, Dow became a
diversified chemical giant.
For more than forty years, both Dow and Du Pont
employed a similar strategy. Both borrowed heavily and used the funds for
expansion, relying on rising demand coupled with price increases to maintain
healthy levels of profit. The huge cash flow necessitated by this strategy
could sometimes lead to problems. If the expansion was more rapid than the
increase in demand, prices would have to be cut and profits would suffer.
Although that happened occasionally, it began to occur more and more frequently
by the end of the 1980s.
In 1991 Du Pont decided to change its strategy by
reducing both capital spending and costs. This focused the company on getting
cash back quickly. By 1993 Du Pont was able to provide for all capital funding
without any substantial borrowing. And 1994 was even better Analysts were
expecting Du Pont to raise its dividend payments to stockholders in 1994.
Du Pont also reorganized. It eliminated nearly
14,000 employees early in 1994. Du Pont also decentralized into twenty
strategic business units (SBUs) based on products and industry, and it changed
its pattern of marketing from a technology driven approach to a market driven
one.
Dow, on the other hand, remained with the
traditional strategy. In 1980 it expanded basic chemicals, and the resulting
glut caused a drop in prices. As a result, earnings fell in 1992. To raise cash
to cover expansion and dividends, Dow had to sell assets – a billion dollars
worth in 1993 alone. It also announced that it would focus on global
competitiveness and cut back its corporate headquarters workforce.
Thanks to cutting back on spending in 1994 and a
rebound in ethylene prices, Dow was in good financial shape that year, although
analysts were not expecting Dow to be able to raise its dividend payments for
several years. Dow did, however, semi to be recognizing the need to change its
strategy too.
Du Pont recognized the need to change strategy
before Dow did. Given the high cost of capital, a strategy of focusing on return
on assets seemed to make more sense than one that focused on market share.
a.
Describe the two strategies used by Dow and Du Pont. What are the advantages
and disadvantages of each? Under what conditions would you use each of the two
strategies? Why? Explain your response. (5 Marks)
b.
Can you envision another strategy that either of these two companies might have
used? What changes would you recommend for the future?
