Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.--1988
By: Timothy A. Luehrman
Abstract
Set two years after a takeover attempt forced the company to restructure by leveraging up, selling assets, and repurchasing stock. The case affords an opportunity to analyze what effect the restructuring had on: 1) the cost of capital, 2) investment decisions, and 3) the competitive behavior of other firms in the industry.
