I think it’s a positive. Generally the founders are more customer friendly/focused than CEO’s chasing constant revenue/profit growth.

Hard to imagine such a customer friendly company drastically changing when the founders retake control.

Seemed to work pretty well for Dell Computer.

The Walton family disproves that theory.

Does it? Remember when Walmart sold made in the USA products exclusively? Hint: It was before Sam Walton died.

That is the point. The heirs have ruined the business by pissing on the founder's grave.

I don’t think you’d see them taking Walmart private and putting their money on the line to improve the business.
