From dance to deal: The white consolidated takeover

Abstract

It was in a bar in Cologne, Germany, on the night of February 4, 1986, that I first heard the rumor that my Cleveland‐based appliance company was the target of a takeover. The president and chief executive officer of White Consolidated Industries (WCI), my wife, and I were in the city to attend a trade fair. Just out seeing the sights, we were enjoying the jazz at this night spot where by chance we met two young men from the Swedish company, AB Electrolux.
