The differences in reported results of operations of two very similar companies, each with similar market share, reputation and notoriety, can be widely divergent. Even though both Nike and Reebok adhere to the rules set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission and organizations for maintenance of accounting standards, the pictures presented by each are far enough apart that they could affect investment decisions.

Lufthansa: Consequences of Poor Decisions
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page paper discussing a Thunderbird case (A07-99-0028) describing events and conditions surrounding Lufthansa's 1985 decision to purchase 20 Boeing 737s to be delivered in 1986. Chairman Heinz Ruhnau made some exceedingly poor decisions that had no basis in fact and then was called to account for them before the Board. Ruhnau believed that the all-time-high dollar would fall in the ensuing year and it did, but Ruhnau's belief was not based on fact. He chose to hedge half of Lufthansa's exposure in case he was wrong, but he chose the wrong instruments to use. Further, he ignored European Airbus, Boeing's primary competitor in passenger aircraft. The paper examines the facts of the case as well as the positions of both Ruhnau and Lufthansa's Board of Directors, concluding that the Board likely has no choice but to replace Ruhnau as Chairman.
