Topic: Lina Sports
Background:
Lina Sports S.p.A is an Italian sportswear manufacturer. It was founded by Franco Rossi in 1978 and has since become a world-famous company. Originally, it specialised in tennis shoes, but later it diversified into football, athletics, tennis and volleyball clothing. The directors of the company are of different nationalities, and the working language of Lina Sports is English.
During the last three years, Lina Sports’s annual results have been disappointing. Profits have fallen steadily while costs have risen, and competition in its main markets has been fierce. At present, it is reviewing its strategy in order to improve its performance. It also faces the possibility of being taken over. A giant French retailing group Universelle has announced that it would like to acquire the company, but only in the event of a ‘friendly takeover’, with full agreement from the present management.
Franco Rossi is now 58 years old. He would like to become Chairman of the company in the near future and to appoint one of the present directors as CEO to run Lina Sports. There are three possible candidates for this position. Each candidate will present his/her ideas for the company’s future strategy to the board of directors. The director who makes the most persuasive presentation will replace Franco Rossi as CEO of the company.
A report by JPS Consultants identified four reasons for Lina Sports’s poor results in recent years. The company had: 1) launched too many product lines in a wide range of sports, 2) invested in too many expensive endorsements with top sports people; 3) suffered from fierce competition from stronger rivals; 4) lost its reputation for being innovative.
