Open Question: Mergers and Acquisitions?
Arguments about mergers and acquisitions often come down to an evaluation of who benefits and by how much. Sometimes the benefits include access to new products, talented management, new customers, or new sources of capital. Often the debate is complicated by the involvement of firms based in different countries.
After reviewing this information discuss the reasons behind the merger and provide your assessment as to whether you think the merger was a good idea or not for the firms involved, the employees, the investors, the industry and society as a whole. Explain your reasoning.
Resolved Question: If a private equity firm had $10 Billion in committed capital and a 1% management fee and one CEO….?
Would the CEO be payed $100 Million?
Open Question: Is the economy doomed no matter what anyone does?
Exactly like the economists of one hundred years ago, and despite millions killed in two world wars by their mistakes, economists still worship the Market God. Moreover, economists still haven’t changed their inherently defective methodology.
Economists first abstract all commodities to money — which of course, obliterates all qualitative differences between the commodities themselves, and leaves economists uniquely unqualified to know anything about the commodities they purport to study.
Although economists treat energy just like any other resource, it’s not like any other resource. Available energy is the precondition for all resources — including more available energy! Because of their total dependence on the measure of “money”, today’s most prominent economists are unable to know the difference between “libraries” and “oil”:
“Should we be taking steps to limit the use of these most precious stocks of society’s capital so that they will still be available for our grandchildren? … Economists ask, Would future generations benefit more from larger stocks of natural capital such as oil, gas, and coal or from more produced capital such as additional scientists, better laboratories, and libraries linked together by information superhighways? … in the long run, oil and gas are not essential.” [Nobel Laureate Paul Samuelson and William Nordhaus] [35]
The next cycle of death will begin when the world experiences a severe oil crunch in less than ten years THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 1999 (probably less than five, perhaps much less ). The crunch will be triggered by a political upheaval in one or more of the major oil-producing nations, a Muslim backlash against America’s friendship with IsraelITHAPPENED IN 2001, OPEC reducing production to make more profit, or simply the natural — and inevitable — “peak” in global oil production.
Once the crunch is here, it’s too late. The global economy will go to hell and rational planning will be replaced by crisis management.
