Assignment:
Growth is an important part of building a successful business. However, sometimes growth strategies don't work. In this forum, you will analyze a failed merger/acquisition. Here's an interesting article from ZDNet Preview the documentthat should give you several examples to explore in greater depth. Here's another resource as well.
After selecting and researching a failed merger/acquisition, post a summary of the deal and what went wrong. Also, think about the following when formulating your responses:
- What was the innovation? Is that where the failure occurred?
- Would any tools we've learned so far, such as the Customer Centered Job Map, have helped?
Then, state if you think the merger/acquisition could have been successful if the circumstances were different. Describe anything you've learned in this class that might have improved the situation. Be sure to explain your rationale, and use course materials as references. Remember to cite your references. The summary should be at least 200 words.
