What do you think of Connelly's industrial strategy, financial policy & performance?
Connelly's strategy was ahead of its time. This is because he saw the changes that were occurring early and made adjustments to the business model of the firm.

This occurred with him seeking out companies that could diversify Crown Cork & Seal's shift to a global packaging company (with it realizing $4.5 billion in annual sales internationally).
