This short case is one of the eight in a series of cases written for the Next Great Companies in Michigan project, which profiles great places to work in Michigan. Dow Corning emerged from nine years of Chapter 11 bankruptcy to become one of the strongest companies in Michigan. Recovering from the scandal with silicon breast implants, the company re-imagined itself as a leader in technologies for healthcare and renewable energy. This case profiles Dow Corning’s journey to re-invention and its enduring culture of innovation and leadership.
