Discussion:
Business Mergers
Reflect on the last assignment (which is attached). The merger of two companies can create problems that need to be resolved before the company can begin operating as a unified organization. As you saw, differences in the organization and the structure of data resulted in necessary modifications to combine the data and achieve a single uniform, composite database.
Write at least 3 paragraphs that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:
•How might you use the various types of charts and graphs available in Microsoft Excel to present summaries of the newly merged company?
•Consider the various charts available in Microsoft Excel, a merger scenario, and the information presented in the last assignment.
Propose and describe two graphs and/or charts that you might find useful to prepare in the evaluation of the new organization.
Summarize the purpose of each graph and the information that would be presented. You may attach a sample to your response.
