From the Paper:

"Ultimately, the approach taken by Howard Head should revolve around the benefit of the organization in the contemporaneous dynamics of the business community. And since he already has a capable CEO to analyze and integrate the newest market features, he should support his actions. While paying attention to the restructuring process and the implementation of changes, he should also remain focused on preserving the features that had initially consecrated Ski Head Company as the leading manufacturer of skis. Otherwise put, Howard Head should embrace change and adaptation as the sole means of survival and future success, but he should let this role be played by Harold Seigle. The founder's focus should fall on continually promoting the idea at the core of the Head skis: quality."
