- In the computer industry study, when taker CEOs were at the helm, firms had more fluctuating, extreme performance, as measured by
total shareholder returns and return on assets. They had bigger wins, but bigger losses. The takers were supremely confident in their
bets, so they swung for the fences. They made bold, grandiose moves, which included more and larger acquisitions, as well as major
upheavals to company strategy. Sometimes these moves paid off, but in the long run, the takers often put their companies in jeopardy.
