通过上面的例子，我们可以看出，我们必须要做很多事情来处理和协调公司和子公司之间的关系，在公司之间存在的问题，特别是在公司的效益日益恶化的情况下，我们更应该付出更多的努力。我们要根据市场的原则，实现共同发展，彼此合作，而不是独立的去发展。因此，对长期存在的问题，要及时解决。其中价格 产品和市场之间的关系也对公司的利益有很大的影响。
Obviously, to resolve the above mentioned questions, something must be done to coordinate different subsidiaries among various countries. If the KCP and the KCI remain current status, the problems would see nothing but increasingly worsening situations. Subsidiaries in other countries would get independent and their managers would gradually ignore the principles and benefits of KCP in the US market. Besides, instead of cooperating with each other to achieve mutual progress, subsidiary companies would become strong competitors, which can reduce the competitive power of KCI. Thus, the best solution to the long existing problems was reorganizing the KCP and KCI. With a merger, KCP and KCI would become an integrated group, within which, prices, products and markets could be well balanced; meanwhile, there would be no need in getting approval from managers of two levels, thus saving time and improving working efficiency.
在前两次的尝试的基础上，肯特借鉴了以往的经验，可以做的更好一些，从两家公司的并购可以看出，并购是市场发展的必然。肯特的第一次尝试，他负责消费产品，为了保护医用塑料，造成了一些损失，也对区域经理之间造成了一些纠纷，然后他证明了一个理论，重组是必要的，
Secondly, based on the previous two attempts, Kent can draw on previous experience to achieve a better performance. It could be told from its two attempts that merger would be an inevitable trend for Kent Chemical. The first trying of Kent was to appoint three global business directors (GDBs), responsible for consumer-products, protection products and medical plastics respectively. Although it turned out not so effective and had caused some disputes between regional managers and GDBs, it awakened Kent Chemical to the fact that the move of reorganization would be necessary. Learning from this experience, in 2007, Kent chemicals took another move, which was to form world boards consisted of managers from both domestic and international businesses. The world boards would be responsible for making plans and strategies for all the Kent companies throughout the globe. However, influenced by the failure of 2006 boards, regional managers did not show a favorable attitude towards this new attempt, as a result of which, it went through a hard period of time and failed again.
As far as I am concerned, these two failures can provide Kent chemicals with great reference for a new move of integration and merger. Facts proved that many issues of Kent required a reorganization. The two attempts just evidenced that merger was actually the inevitable trend. However, the failure also suggested that the unification in policies and operations did not workable in Kent Chemicals. Differentiation in specific operations could help relieve this problem.
第三，委员会还建议肯特在不同的国家要采取不同的策略，这是一个全球性的控制，肯特一共管理三种产品，包括消费产品，医疗塑料和消防产品。在消费产品方面，考虑到消费者的需求，每个国家的分销渠道和竞争激烈程度不同，应该进行区域性管制。
Thirdly, it was also suggested by the consulting committee that Kent Chemical should take differentiated strategies in different countries, and that a global control would be needed. Kent Chemical dealt with three kinds of products, including consumer products, medical plastics and fire control products. In terms of consumer products, as consumer needs, distribution channels and competition vary from country to country, the company should be managed locally; but as for the medical plastics business, their customers were mainly composed of multinational companies, and constant innovation in products and worldwide control in operations were needed. Regarding the third one, fire control products, it should be organized both regionally and globally. The clients of fire control products were international corporations, but the product sourcing turned out quite regional. On the basis of product categorization, the consultants put forward the solution that the company should develop into a more differentiated one using the “decision matrix”.
