As any tree can tell you, turning off a "Chainsaw" doesn't undo the damage. Sunbeam, the #1 US maker of small appliances, sells mixers, coffeemakers, grills, smoke detectors, and toasters under brands such as Sunbeam, Mixmaster, Oster, First Alert, and Mr. Coffee. It also owns Coleman, a camping and outdoor equipment maker. As CEO, "Chainsaw Al" Dunlap cut business lines, halved Sunbeam's workforce, and expanded through acquisitions. He was ousted in 1998 when his promised turnaround fell short. Still dealing with the long-term effects of his efforts, Sunbeam is reorganizing under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Investors advised by mutual fund manager Michael Price own 16% of Sunbeam; Ron Perelman owns 13%.
