Bear Stearns Board Shows Promise of New Growth Opportunities
Bear Stearns posted its unsuccessful earnings today, blaming the significant losses on the suffering mortgage loan markets (see article from DealBook). Yesterday we published an article that illustrated how Goldman Sachs may have been able to take advantage of its diversified interests to rise above the sub-prime mortgage mess (see September 19 NewsVisual Article). We created an IntellectSpace Knowledge Map of the board ties of Bear Stearns to get a better understanding of how it too can take advantage of its own connections and market new strategies to recover from its losses.
As shown on this Knowledge Map, Bear Stearns’ success can rely not only on being a leader in home loans and mortgage-backed bonds, but also through its significant ties to the entertainment, clothing, pharmaceutical, oil, and manufacturing industries through its own Directors. To illustrate this point, Michael Goldstein is shown to concurrently serve as a Director for multiple companies in multiple industries. The same holds true for many others on the board. To ensure notable gains in the next quarter, Bear Stearns may find increased success in taking advantage of its links to these other affiliated industries to overcome its current losses. We predict that it won’t be too long before the company sees a turnaround.
