FAVRE, CASH, AND J&J

摘要

Unlike his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Robert Wood Johnson IV never ran Johnson & Johnson. In fact, he never even worked at the medical-products giant. But the.heir to the J&J fortune has been guided by his predecessors' executive decisions as he has led the New York Jets from the basement of the National Football League to the verge of being one of its most valued franchises-right down to the entrances he installed at the team's 27-acre training center.rnHe's retooled the club's corporate structure, installed proven executives in top management, and invested in new facilities, including a $1.3 billion stadium the Jets will co - own with the New York Giants in the New Jersey Meadowlands. And garnering the goodwill of his most important constituency, the customers, he recently gambled $12 million to hire quarterback Brett Favre from the Green Bay Packers.
