When did CW buy SP ???? Perhaps that would answer the question as to whether or not Studebaker killed Packard. Most likely it was CW that killed Packard.

Much of the problem with this kind of analysis of any company or merger is not knowing what goes on behind the scenes. Info that book writers either do not know are not willing to write about.

I'm no expert on Studebaker. As i understand from stories i've heard from a few people i knew that worked for stusebaker, Studebaker suffered from too many family members involved/working with the company.

It's called corporate incest. Same problem that nearly killed Chrysler in the mid 70's.
