The parent company, The Linde Group was unhappy with the outgoing CEO for the way he handled the Carbacid merger fiasco. They are keen to enter into the lucrative CO2 business. Being cash rich and with support of its parent company, they should get a fair share of the market in the Eastern African region. I view BOC today, the same way I did with ARM in 2005, when it was 28bob!! What do pals here think?

The incoming CEO has no choice than to work on the strategy to capture the market. Remember there was a major shift in the shareholding when BOC UK, which was the parent company was bought by the Linde group. Now, Linde cannot afford to slumber

To understand what i am talking about, look at what happened when Mugo Kibati left EACables and they picked an in-house manager for the post. This is just but an example.

Effective structures lack in most of local organisations such that often only one individual is identified with an organisation. Having said that, a huge organisation like Coca Cola suffered when its long serving CEO Robert Goizueta died. His replacement did not impress the major shareholders like Warren Buffet and they had to show him the door

Bamburi - LaFarge Group Nation - Aga Khan Group (same for TPSEA, Diamond Trust & Jubilee) GSK - GSK Worldwide Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - *to paraphrase Warren Buffett*

Linde Group has taken time to flex their mussles since they were trying to navigate in the new horizon. Based on their world wide experience, BOC Kenya should benefit.
