Abstract:
This is a case study of two companies: Stemwood Corporation and Caldwell Tanks, Incorporated. Both companies were in extreme financial trouble and were ready to declare bankruptcy until James W. Robinson decided to purchase them. Mr. Robinson is a venture capitalist whose objective is to resurrect old businesses and found new ones. Along with a history of the companies and the basic facts of the acquisitions, there is an analysis of the well being of the companies after the purchase took place.
