> In 2008, Sears CEO Eddie Lampert decided to restructure the company according to [Ayn] Rand's principles.
> Lampert broke the company into more than 30 individual units, each with its own management and each measured separately for profit and loss. The idea was to promote competition among the units, which Lampert assumed would lead to higher profits. Instead, " ... the divisions turned against each other — and Sears and Kmart, the overarching brands, suffered."

By Ayn Rand standards, Lampert did an excellent job with Sears. He personally made over a billion in profit from his original investment.
