JC Penney looks to old CEO to secure its future
NEW YORK — J.C. Penney is hoping its former CEO can revive the retailer after a risky turnaround strategy backfired and led to massive losses and steep sales declines. The company’s board of directors ousted CEO Ron Johnson after only 17 months on the job. The department store chain said late Monday, in a statement, that it has rehired Johnson’s predecessor, Mike Ullman, 66, who was CEO of the department store chain for seven years until November 2011. The announcement comes as a growing chorus of critics including a former Penney CEO, Allen Questrom, called for Johnson’s resignation as they lost faith in an aggressive overhaul that included getting rid of most discounts in favor of everyday low prices and bringing in new brands. The biggest blow came Friday from his strongest supporter, activist investor and board member, Bill Ackman, who had pushed the board in the summer of 2011 to hire Johnson to shake up the dowdy image of the retailer. Ackman, whose company Pershing Square Capital Management, is Penney’s biggest shareholder, reportedly told investors that Penney’s execution “has been something very close to a disaster.” On Saturday, Ullman received a phone call from Penney’s chairman Thomas Engibous asking him to take back his old job, according to Penney spokeswoman Kate Coultas. The board met Monday and decided to fire Johnson. Neither Johnson nor Ullman were available for an interview.The early reaction to the shakeup was negative. J.C. Penney shares tumbled 96 cents, or 6.1 percent, to $14.91 in trading about three hours before the market opening on Tuesday. Until early last week, some analysts thought the board would give Johnson, a former Apple Inc. and Target Corp. executive, until later this year to reverse the sales slide. A key element of Johnson’s strategy was opening new shops featuring hot brands to help turn around the business. They began opening last year and had been faring better than the rest of the store. “I truly believed that he had until holiday 2013,” said Brian Sozzi, CEO and chief equities strategist Belus Capital Advisers. “Today’s announcement is an indictment of his strategy.”Under Ullman, the chain brought in some new brands such as beauty company Sephora and exclusive names like MNG by Mango, a European clothing brand, but he didn’t do much to transform the store’s stodgy image or to attract new customers. He’s expected to serve mostly as a stabilizing force, not someone who will make changes that will completely turn the company around. “What they need is a little bit of stability and essentially adult supervision,” said Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a retail consultancy. “(Ullman) did nip-and-tuck surgery,” said Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a retail consultancy. “But this was a place that needed radical surgery.”Sozzi said he thinks that Ullman will only serve as an interim CEO. He expects the Plano, Texas company’s board will hand off the job to another executive who may want to take the company private. Ullman is getting a base salary of $1 million and the company didn’t sign an employment agreement, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.Johnson’s removal marks a dramatic fall for the executive who came to Penney with much fanfare. There were lofty expectations for the man who made Apple’s stores cool places to shop, and before that, pioneered Target’s successful “cheap chic” strategy by bringing in products by people such as home furnishings designer Michael Graves at discount-store prices. Few questioned Johnson’s savvy when it was announced in June 2011 that he was leaving his role as Apple’s senior vice president of retail to take over the top job at Penney, a chain that had gained a reputation in recent years of having boring stores and merchandise.

Why the whining about the wealthy?

However, the top 1 percent wage earners pay 36 percent of the income taxes; the top 5 percent, 58 percent; the top 10 percent, 70 percent. That leaves the remaining 90 percent of us wage earners to cover only 30 percent. What is the problem?
