Abstract

Describes Bill Antle's proposed restructuring plans for Oak Industries, a company composed of nine divisions which seem to be experiencing operating difficulties. During the last ten years the company has been involved in a number of acquisitions and divestitures, as well as financing initiatives which the stock market has viewed unfavorably. Antle is a former management consultant who was asked to lead Oak after a recent proxy contest.
