Schlichtmann’s partners wanted to make sure they could settle for enough to cover their expenses, otherwise they would lose all of their assets. Schlichtmann want more than the $8 million but ultimately accepted it because of the pressures he faced from his partners. The stakeholder model of the BGS relationship, in my opinion, is not depicted in this film.

The provocative photos he selected for American Apparel’s ad campaigns grabbed people’s attention – not always in a positive way. The very way the company had chosen to go public indicated much about the CEO’s refusal to conform to tradition; in the summer 2007 American Apparel would merge with the special purpose acquisition company, Endeavor Acquisition Corp. In addition, the company’s commitment to paying high wages and generous benefits to it’s mostly immigrant workforce, and its “Made in USA” stance, might not appeal to Wall Street investors who believed that an adequate return on investment took priority over political correctness. Should Dov Charney allow these Wall Street financiers to step into the American Apparel sandbox to play? What changes would American Apparel need to make once it became a publicly traded company?
When we found out how Chris was involved, we didn’t feel right taking the reward money, so we didn’t. We thought we would just try to do more of the work ourselves and to get by the best we could. We thought we were having troubles with The Joint during the summer, but it was much worse in the winter. The fuel bills seemed to eat up every penny we earned and then some. Mr. Harley, the guy who had sold us the building in the first place, came around, and when he saw that we were keeping the building going, he got a friend of his to offer us another building on the same block for a few hundred dollars.

The company hasn’t really done much about his method of operation, although from time to time he has angered some top company men. As President McCaughey, who retired a couple of years ago, once remarked to a vice-president who was complaining about Frank, “If he’s making money—and he is (more than any of the other foreign offices)—then leave the guy alone.” When McCaughey retired, the new chief immediately instituted organizational changes that gave more emphasis to the overseas operations, moving the company toward a truly worldwide operation into which a loner like Frank would probably not fit. In fact, one of the key reasons for selecting Bill as Frank’s replacement, besides Bill’s record as a top salesman, is Bill’s capacity as an organization man. He understands the need for coordination among operations and will cooperate with the home office so the Latino office can be expanded and brought into the mainstream. The company knows there is much to be learned from Frank, and Bill’s job is to learn everything possible.

The job losses are part of a global cost-cutting program to make the $US18.6 billion ($34 billion) merger of HP and Compaq succeed in the eyes of financial markets. The merged group was launched on Tuesday in California by the new chief executive officer and former HP CEO Carly Fiorina and former Compaq CEO and now HP president Michael Capellas. Both executives said the cultural differences had been overplayed and they did not think that melding the two compa-nies together would be a problem. However, during the merger process many Compaq staff expressed reservations about Ms Fiorina's brash style. In the eight months since the merger was announced, Ms Fiorina led the brutal proxy battle to push the deal through, as well as being forced to appear in an acrimonious court case brought by Walter Hewlett, a son of the HP founder.
