Abstract

With a mission to alleviate pain and restore patients to full health, Medtronic, Inc., created in 1949, produces a wide range of medical equipment to treat chronic diseases such as heart failure, diabetes, and Parkinson’s disease. Following its creation, Medtronic had significant growth and expansion in Europe, Africa, Canada, Cuba, and Australia. However, in 1962 the company found itself on the verge of bankruptcy. Fortunately, it was able to receive a cash infusion by a capital firm, which helped turn the company around. By 1977, the company was selling in over 70 countries. From 1985 to 2006 it had a dynamic compounded growth rate of 18 percent. Again, the success did not last, and in early 2010 the company’s stock value plummeted. In June of 2011, Omar Ishrak was hired as the new CEO to turn the company around.
