Week 4 Discussion
Discussion: Mergers
One of the
hottest topics in the business press are rumors of major corporations merging
together. Just as the entertainment press likes to report on rumors of
celebrities who are dating, the business press likes to speculate about
“corporate match-making”. For example, Whole Foods was subject to rumors about
several potential suitors including supermarket giants such as Kroger,
Albertson’s, and Walmart. But the world was somewhat surprised when a merger
deal with Amazon was announced, as this seems like a bit of an “odd couple”.
Go to Google
news or other news search engines and see what the latest merger rumors are.
Pick one of the merger rumors that seems the most unusual to you – one that
makes you wonder why these two companies think they are a good match for each
other. Share the link to the article with your classmates, and discuss the
following issues:
1.
Is this merger horizontal? Vertical? Conglomerate
(unrelated diversification)?
2.
Why do you think these companies would or would not
make a good match?
3.
Do you think this merger will actually go through?
Or won’t get beyond the gossip stage?
