  • Operating expenses rose sharply to not allow for later covered by higher selling price

  • The company has been sold

  • The company entered bankruptcy stage

  • The company, which lost most of its customers

  • Operation with a mastery of the market share dropped sharply



Every brand in the list following this experience one or more of these problems. They will all disappear, at least within 18 months. The following list for more information.

  1. Research In Motion (RIM)
    The end of June had reported that the value of production in the first quarter of 2012, the RIM down US $ 518 million (USD 4.8 trillion). As a result, the Blackberry manufacturer that would have LAID OFF about 5,000 employees. This action is expected to cost upwards of $ 300 million.

    Last financial reports mentioned that their revenue RIMS they are down 43% to US $ 2.8 billion until June 2, 2012. Whereas for the same period in the previous year managed to rake in $ 4.9 billion.

    Old Avon CEO Andrea Jung, driven out late last year after almost destroying a large cosmetics company in America. The new CEO of Sherilyn s. McCoy, formerly lead Johnson & Johnson holds the throne of Avon leadership starting April. The thing is, this is the first time McCoy is leading a company. First quarter report the amount of income that Avon is very sad.

    Examination of the Security and Exchange Commission against communication with securities analysts already Avon resulted in CFO Charles Cramb lost his job. Avon also involved the alleged scandal in China does not meet its operational standards of Foreign Corruption Practices ACT.

    Beyond that, the fundamental issue scandal Avon is not management concentration on its core business, whereas beauty market is very competitive. Morningstar analyst, Erin Lash writes, "rather than restructure loss-making companies that nearly US $ 800 million through 2011, it looks like Avon instead continuously create problems and do not forward-forward."
