By Alexandra Zendrian January 9, 2012 NEW YORK (TheStreet) — For the consumer goods sector, 2012 will be about how some companies handle breaking apart and how they perform after they split. Some of the breakups this year include Kraft Foods, Sara Lee and Ralcorp. Look for Ralcorp’s and Sara Lee’s breakups to be completed toward the beginning of 2012, with Kraft’s split taking place before the end of the year. Investors seem to be searching for more pure plays in this sector rather than widely diversified companies, according to Scott Rostan, founder of Training the Street. The advantage for people who invest in these split-up companies is that they can hone in their focus on the markets and deal with less baggage. In the case of Sara Lee, the split involves separating the North American retail and food service businesses, which include brands [...]

By Drew Armstrong – Bloomberg Pfizer Inc. (PFE), the world’s largest drugmaker, said it will incorporate its Indian subsidiary’s animal health unit into its larger animal division, signaling the company is progressing in its intention to divest the business. The action is a step toward worldwide consolidation of New York-based Pfizer’s animal health operations under one roof, the company said. The change was announced in a statement today by the Bombay Stock Exchange. Pfizer is shedding its animal health and nutrition businesses this year as part of Chief Executive Officer Ian Read’s plan to focus on developing new drugs. The reorganization will let potential buyers or investors assess the business unit as a whole, said Scott Rostan, chief executive office of Training the Street, a New York company that trains finance professionals, and a former M&A banker. “This is going to [...]

Bloomberg BusinessWeek  You’ve been admitted at two or more top MBA programs. How do you decide which offer to accept? Start by looking to your future By Francesca DiMeglio October 19, 2011 Plenty of potential snarls await applicants to top business schools: a horrible GMAT score, an incoherent essay, a bad interview performance. One problem they gladly embrace is having to choose among MBA programs that have accepted them. Gil Eyal lived that dream. Despite getting rejected by Harvard Business School and University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, he was accepted at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business. Left to decide between Kellogg and Booth—top-tier programs geographically near one another—Eyal put a strategy in motion. He visited both schools to learn about their unique cultures, spoke to the admissions deans at each program, and sought advice [...]

THE DAILY By Kyle Stock October 12, 2011 Surging pay and sagging results are expected to squeeze another wave of workers off of Wall Street. Manhattan banks and brokerage firms may cut an additional 10,000 securities jobs by the end of next year, according to a report released yesterday by New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. If layoffs reach those levels, the number of people who buy and sell financial products on Wall Street will have shrunk by 17 percent since early 2008. Roy Cohen, a New York-based career coach and author of “The Wall Street Professional’s Survival Guide,” said morale among his clients has never been lower. Last week, he fielded calls from two Wall Street wives who suspected that their husbands would be laid off soon. Among other things, they wanted Cohen’s advice on negotiating higher severance payments. “I’m busy [...]
