HP-Compaq Merger: A Case Study of Failure by monu is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document summarizes the merger between Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Compaq in 2002. Carly Fiorina, the CEO of HP, initiated the $25 billion all-stock purchase, making it the largest IT merger in history. The merger was intended to cut costs, increase competition with IBM and Dell, and allow the companies to better face challenges in a shrinking PC market. However, integration issues led to layoffs and cultural clashes, and the merger ultimately failed to achieve its goals.
