Mergers & Acquisitions

M&A is a wonderful subject with lot of business insights & taught by a great Prof ( A Harvard Alumni who ran his own M& A firm for several years !) . Its one of the best decisions I made in this trimester.

As the Chinese economy prospers , so does their ambitions. You know what I am talking about. Lenovo's acquisition of IBM's PC Business is a big step for Chinese Hardware Industry . If China can go Global , Why shouldn't an Indian IT Services firm try to acquire the North American business of CGEY ( Cap Gemini Ernst & Young) which is reportedly up for Sale ( at US$ 1 Billion ? ) ....

To end, a nice joke from Ted Turner ( CNN founder -- CNN is part of the Time Warner Empire) about the AOL-Time Warner Merger ( Turner said this in 2003 -- 3 years after the merger) :

" I would rather go live with one of my ex-wives than go through that again "
