I have been through several mergers of
large/Fortune 100 corperations (Union Bank of xylog -----Original Message----- It's not a merger? You'd better learn big
business. It's a merger, and don't expect to see too many changes too
quickly. Compaq was already making big time changes in it's product line
before this even happened. HP was planning on getting out of the PC
business anyways. A name change could happen, but who knows? I don't appreciate the
naive comment anyhoo... You saying it's not a
merger is naive... -----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 Message----- Interesting
articles at www.infoworld.com: 1. HP, Compaq target enterprise, services
markets in $25 billion acquisition 2. 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 |
