U.S. Needs a Structured Approach to Its Industrial Sector

Dow Agricultural Sciences reporting this week showed a robust increase in volume of 10% during Q1 2009. In embarrassing contrast, the lumbering DuPont AG & NUT "platform", which comprises the ponderous Pioneer bureaucracy could eke out only an anemic 1% increase in volume, year over year, competing in the same market conditions.

While Dow Chemical has steadily grown over the past decade, and is now the number two chemical company worldwide, after BASF, the shrunken DuPont Company driven by bad management has plummeted all the way from number one to number nine in revenues! Such a sickening descent. ...funfun..

U.S. Needs a Structured Approach to Its Industrial Sector

DuPont is manifesting severe systemic weakness throughout, the consequence of years of mediocre Management and missed opportunities. In the Q1 2009 CC, April 21, 2009, CEO Ellen Kullman pretended her ag platform "delivered strong growth".

FACT: Her lumbering DuPont AG & NUT segment showed only sickly "growth" of sales of only 1% by volume!

Her much touted crown jewel, the DuPont AG & NUT bureaucracy lags embarrassingly behind the bio-ag industry leader, superior-managed Monsanto. ...funfun..
