When Harley Davidson got in trouble it wasn't just one problem, but many problems across the board in management, marketing, manufacturing, sales. It was a management change and drastic change across the board that brought them back around. A stroke of luck or genious? Harley was not nearly as big as IH but they likely had similar problems as all companys do. I tend to think Harley was just lucky. Small enough to be straightened out by the right guys in command at the right time, who really cared and wanted to fix the company, who happened to be smart enough to listen to workers and dealers and customers,
to work to their strengths, who identified and worked the right issues throughout the company and brought the company back bigger than ever. IH being so big, and the burden of problems so vast and complex, a ship without a rudder, they probably just spun out of control and the selling began. I doubt the very upper management had a clue what was wrong or how to fix it. I doubt they suffered much. It was a slow death, they had time to abandon ship for dry land. Many good companies have folded in similar ways.
