In particular, Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems in 2009 (Dealbook, 2009) and SAP acquired Sybase in 2010 (Dealbook, 2010). I find this topic interesting because…4 Pages Part 2: Images of Change: Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems for $7.4 billion in May, 2009, marking the company’s entry into the hardware market (“Oracle Agrees to Buy Sun,” 2009). This deal entailed that Oracle would pay “$9.50 per share in cash for Sun” (“Oracle Agrees to Buy Sun,” 2009, p. 6), which totaled to a net amount of $5.6 billion of Sun’s debt and cash.

As an example, making a matrix organization work requires…22 Pages Part 4: Communicating the Change: Even before the merger is announced or finalized, there are bound to be rumours about it, and this can cause the employees to come up with incorrect notions about the merger, which in turn can make them needlessly worry. Therefore, Senior Management needs to address such issues, and clarify whether they are true or not. By denying the rumors, any negative notions that the employees may have will be dispelled, and by confirming the rumours, Senior Management will be able to provide clarifications and assurances that would also dispel the employees’ wrong...13 Pages Plus Grid Part 5: Annotated Bibliography: Cheung-Judge, M. & Holbeche, L.
