Abstract:
|
This is the first of a four-case series. Hewlett-Packard (HP) has acquired
Compaq for $25 billion in stock, in the biggest ever buy-out in the history of
the computer industry. The merged entity, with operations in more than 160
countries and over 145,000 employees, offers a comprehensive range of
information technology products and services.
Carly Fiorina, Chief Executive Officer of HP, is confident that the new HP will
become the global leader in terms of revenues for servers, access devices
(personal computers and hand-held devices), and imaging and printing. All the
directors except Walter Hewlett, son of founder William Hewlett, endorse the
deal. |
|
Hewlett believes that integrating the two companies will be
an arduous task and could take many years. Meanwhile, employees of Compaq and HP
are becoming concerned about job losses and cultural differences.
