managerial economics

Choose a recent merger/acquisition to write about for this topic paper. Use the material in Chapters 1-7 (particularly 7 of Managerial Economic 9th) to analyze and assess the situation as it relates to the consolidated company. While some mergers do well (e.g., Centene acquisition of WellCare) others do not leading sometimes to divestment after a time (Quaker and Snapple, for example). If you are unable to come up with a choice of your own, then you may choose the merger of Hewlett Packard and Compaq Computers from roughly 10+ years ago. When the merger was announced, it was criticized as not making 'financial sense' by some very powerful voices, and once consummated, the merged company's CEO was fired. Remember to always cite any references you use.
