Check out Deming's last book, The New Economics. It seems to me that we
are in a phase of expanding systems. The larger the system the better
the opportunity for optimization. The problem is we are not Borg. There
is a point at which size becomes an obstacle to optimization. We must,
in my opinion, establish organization without boundaries. Then, larger
systems can be organized efficiently. Ultimately, success depends on
innovation in all parts of the system.

Hey Guys,

I just want to get your opinions regarding the business trend of merging

and acquisition (acquiring of one company by the other company).  What
are
the pros and cons, benefits?

Any inputs will be highly appreciated, I just need those info on my
research as part of my MBA program.

Thanks
