mis-information and I blame yahoo news which posted the story "Hewlett-Packard
to Buy Compaq in $25B Deal" However I since HP has
majority controlling interest in the merger I stick by my assertion that there
will be changes as redundant functions are eliminated. xylog -----Original
Message----- It's
really a merger. The merged company will operate out of
Many
Compaq executives will be retained, such as the Compaq CEO, who will become
president of the merged company. William -----Original
Message----- Except its
not a merger. HP purchsed compaq. HP's management now controls the Compaq's
destiny. What this means is that HP will, in order to cut costs, eliminate all
possible redundant functions.I agree it is a good merger, but it is very naïve
to expect nothing to change. xylog -----Original
Message----- I don't
think there will be duplicate positions. I expect them to continue to
function as 2 seperate companies. Compaq's name is much bigger than HP,
especially in the server market. I think HP just wanted a bigger piece of
the PC and Server pie, and Compaq wanted the financial backing of HP's dominance
in the peripheral and printer market. It's a good
merger. -----Original

Merger highlights role of HP's
Fiorina While the merger
may not guarantee an improvement in sales/performance, does anyone see a
downside to the merger (other than HP/Compaq employees who will lose their job
when duplicate positions are eliminated)? Do you expect the
merger to provide better products and
services? Best Regards, http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm |
