Cons
The quarterly financial results mask the real operating performance of this company, its easy to blame the downturn in AG economy and current global market conditions because the company lacks the capability and foresight to manage in difficult operating environment. Read the annual report. Competitors gaining ground everywhere, even in the US, only a matter of time, before the company's dominant position in US is displaced similar to what happened in the automotive market with Big Three. Leadership and Company Culture- Its the Deere way or the highway, not open to challenging the status quo or new ideas, change agents not welcome, ineffective in dealing with poor performers, plenty of them, cloning and selecting future leaders that mirror a 175 year traditional culture that is severely outdated. Slow, risk averse, apathetic, incapable of driving necessary change and results.Senior leaders grown from within, cronyism at its best.
