Abstract:

Yellow was set up in the 1920s to provide bus and taxi services in Oklahoma. Very soon, the company realized that freight shipping was a more lucrative business and divested its taxi business to operate full-time in transporting freight.

After the trucking industry was deregulated by the US Congress in 1980, the company found itself unequipped to deal with the increased competition and a dynamic industrial environment.

It also had a narrow view of what its business was, and did not give due importance to the broader area of service. Consequently, its performance began to decline.
