Trader remain dubious as to the future stability of Encom, one of the most vibrant and robust companies of this past decade. Now that their CEO and creative guru, Kevin Flynn, has vanished, the company's outlook seems troubled, at best.
Lesser organizations have crumbled in the absence of clear-cut leadership. It doesn't help that the de-facto heads of Encom can't get their stories straight. To quote CEO Alan Bradley, "Kevin is a visionary, a pioneer, and above all a friend. Encom needs him back, and his son needs him even more."
But an official statement from an unnamed source within the upper echelons of the company tells a different tale. "Encom will carry out its operations without faltering," reads the press release. "Our success is not now, nor will it ever be, contingent upon one individual."
Speculation will become stark reality in the days and weeks to come. The longer Kevin Flynn's status remains unknown, the more uncertain the fate of Encom becomes. The market will dictate just how essential Mr.Flynn was in the grand scheme of his industry, and how durable his creations will be as time moves forward.
