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.

b. Can you envision another strategy that either of these two companies might have
used? What changes would you recommend for the future?
