The members of the financial community surveyed agreed that Weyerhaeuser's proposed acquisition of Willamette Industries, the acquisition and successful integration of MacMillan Bloedel and TJ International, and Steve Rogel's continuing record of consolidating market share, cutting costs, boosting margins and producing good earnings, were major factors in his selection.
