According to this post on Nate's Blog this report is basically useless.

Do you mean the other point about rebranding and spinning off foot locker? I really don't understand why he thinks that's different or significant. It really does happen all the time in the business world. |

No, they didn't simply "rebrand" one of their divisions. As far as I can tell, Foot Locker was not rebranded at all. What they did was create a new company and siphoned off the money-making divisions from the old company. In other words, they were preparing to let Woolworth's (proper) founder, while they built a life-boat to watch it sink. They didn't fix (or attempt to fix) the problems with Woolworth's, they gave up on it. This kept the suits happy, but the employees and (probably) the investors in the original F.W. Woolworth Company were screwed.

I've sacrificed too many IQ points to Forbes' writers in the past. Those links don't get clicked anymore.
