.. As in all mergers/acquisitions, the logistics of merging
the companies becomes a nightmare. I know Compaq struggled
with this after the Digital & Tandem acquisition. It was partly
due to the high-tech world going soft but this group I'm in
now has had 6 different managers since I've been here. The
reporting structure has changed 3-4 times. It becomes difficult
at the micro level to accomplish things.
..It it doesn't bring better products and services, we'll see another
merger/acquisition probably.
