Abstract
The case is about Martha Stewart, the queen of home improvement in the US. The case highlights the emergence of Martha Stewart as an entrepreneur and the establishment of her company in the late 1990s. The case also outlines the decline of the 'Martha Stewart' brand and the subsequent fall in revenues of her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, after she was indicted in the ImClone stock scandal. After serving the sentence in 2005, Martha made a comeback with TV shows, a self-authored book, and a radio show among her comeback plans. But it is felt that the comeback is not making an effect on the company's revenues. The case tries to analyse answers for two main issues: (1) will the elaborate comeback strategy of Martha Stewart have an effect on the company? and (2) can the company reach the peak it had fallen from?
