[Quote No.70174] Need Area: Work > Leadership
"[It is possible to bet along with a good management team as they go on an growth by acquisition strategy, with a plan to take their strong balance sheet and or free cash-flow and buy poorly managed or financially weak companies and come in and apply their superior management skill to improve cash-flow, financial strength and Return on Invested Capital-ROIC and Return On Equity-ROE by increasing margin and volume. For example: removing any product and or services that doesn't meet the necessary capital allocation return hurdle rate and then downsize the staff to only those most productively capable when well trained, empowered and incentivized to do that work, under their guidance. Then increase the prices where the market will bear it and invest in research and development to develop the next innovations to provide for the next step up in growth to once again provide the cash-flow and equity to repeat this process, ad infinitum! This has been a plan used by a number of very fast growing companies allowing growth of 20 percent or more for more the 20 years. So...] If it's a choice between investing in a good company in a great industry, or a great company in a lousy industry, I'll take the great company in the lousy industry any day. Good management, a strong balance sheet, and a sensible plan of action will overcome many obstacles, but when you've got weak management, a weak balance sheet, and a misguided plan of action, the greatest industry in the world won't bail you out." - Peter Lynch
