The world is too nasty and unfair The world is too nasty and unfair, the author used Dow Chemical as an example. Dow Chemical is going to merge with DuPont this year but will split into three specialized firms next year. Most of the chemicals businesses in the past 20 years have disappeared nowadays. Dow Chemical made a mistake since 2004, the boss took three initiatives to save the company. First of all, he removed the departments that were not profitable and purchased specialized ones that had barriers to entry. Secondly, he established the R&D in order to find more ways to help their customers. Finally, invest heavily in plant helped the company lower the costs. Investors think Dow’s return on capital is low but the profits are expected to increase. Another thing is that the profit going to the employee has remained flat, while most American businesses have cut off the benefits of their employee. Even though Dow had such a good performance, some shareholders were not satisfied. The author supposes that Dow-DuPont deal will probably pass and it should send the message to president Trump that America should encourage the free trade and let the capital flow.
