Influential advocator, founder, and president of “Families Against Mandatory Minimums,” Julie Stewart, claims that her family was torn apart by the arrest of her brother. Stewarts exclaims that her brother was a first time offender of a non-violent drug related crime, but was automatically sentenced to five years in prison without parole.

While Sara Lee’s performance has been underwhelming since the retrenchment initiative was launched in 2005, the investment and divesture decisions were advised. Many of the businesses that were selected for divestment were unrelated to the company’s core competencies. That is, their resource requirements and key value chain activities were so dissimilar that no competitively important cross-business relationships existed. These include direct selling, European apparel, and Sara Lee branded apparel. Divested businesses in the food and beverage industry such as European Nuts and Snacks, European Rice, and U.S. Meat Snacks were, for the most part, poor performers with low sales volume. The benefits of the company’s decision to discontinue European meats, however, are less evident. The $1.1 billion dollar business seemed to have a good strategic fit with the other core businesses which were retained.

Like their spin-off of the Hanesbrands division, there may be divisions within the Sara Lee companies that could profit the company by finding a buyer for the company and selling it off.
