Is Netflix's Management Up to the Task?

In this video, Motley Fool analyst Jim Mueller takes a look at Netflix's management, and CEO Reed Hastings in particular. Hastings has been key in the company's recent growth, but he's also made some bad decisions, including the Qwikster debacle, and he took criticism for last year's price increase. But Hastings is no stranger to tech, having been involved with both Microsoft and Facebook, and has the experience to move the company forward.

Jim also tells us about Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos, whose links to the entertainment industry help Netflix negotiate better deals both for the company and for subscribers.

The precipitous drop in Netflix shares since the summer of 2011 has caused many shareholders to lose hope. As Jim mentioned, Netflix still has an impressive management and the right type of people who can take the company forward. Can Netflix fend off this burgeoning competition, and will its international growth aspirations really pay off? These are must-know issues for investors, which is why we've released a brand-new premium report on Netflix. Inside, you'll learn about the key opportunities and risks facing the company, as well as reasons to buy or sell the stock.
