Abstract
Massive corporate mergers are becoming increasingly commonplace in 21st-century America. As one huge merger follows another, the benefits for owners and investors are obvious. The paper argues, however, that for our society as a whole, the consequences seem far less beneficial. When too many large corporations merge, competition is reduced, consequently denying consumers a variety of benefits that they are entitled to in our allegedly free market system. The paper argues that the lack of price reduction and innovation are the two most prominent detriments to society in the face of these industry oligarchies. Because one company owns many businesses, the businesses are all run in virtually the same way, leaving very little room for creativity or competition.
From the Paper
"Time Warner's recent merger with Turner broadcasting created the largest media company in the world. It now owns cable distribution, cable channels, production, music publishing, book and magazine publishing, retail interests, film production and theater chains. An example of possible problems: the 1996 controversy over Time Warner's cable provider not wanting to distribute Fox's 24 hour news channel, a competitor with Turner's CNN. Another example is The Disney/Cap Cities/ABC merger, which combines cable, merchandising, theme park, production, film and local media outlets (Barnou, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper describes how the onslaught of corporate mergers at the end of the 19th century transformed the social landscape of American and, ultimately, formed the America of today with all of its social safety nets.
From the Paper
"The United States of America, during the last years of the Nineteenth Century, witnessed a rash of corporate mergers. The Industrial Revolution had taken firm hold, and the nation was changing rapidly. Millions of Americans who had once been independent farmers or tradesmen now found themselves in the position of what some termed "wage slaves." At the mercy of their corporate employers, they worked long hours at low pay, and often under appalling conditions. The reasons for the merger mania of this period are many and complex, as are its effects upon the population as a whole. In breaking down the traditional vocational environment, the gigantic new conglomerates also transformed the entire social landscape. Work was no longer a family business shared by all generations. Communities no longer clung together for mutual protection and aid. Suddenly, the citizen of this new world was out on his own. He did what he was told and hoped for the best, though what was deemed the best often fell far short of what was desirable. The corporate juggernaut spawned its own adversaries, corporate greed feeding the new union movement as exploited workers fought for basic rights."

Abstract
This paper explains that a merger occurs when two different companies agree to join their forces to develop a bigger company; whereas, an acquisition occurs when one company takes over another company. The author points out that mergers and acquisitions provide a means of accessing new markets, technology and business operations, of obtaining cost savings and of providing an opportunity for competitors to survive in a highly competitive market by joining forces. The paper reviews the merger between Sprint and Nextel Communication Inc. to form Sprint Nextel Corporation and the acquisition of Storage Technology Corporation by Sun Microsystems and Paradyne Networks Inc, by Zhone Technologies.
From the Paper
"Other sources of efficiencies may come from the introduction of new products, development of more efficient processes or improvement of product quality or service. It is however very difficult for the firms to find out in advance whether there will be any savings due to mergers, as these can be only judged after the entire merger process is completed. Another problem in minimizing costs comes from cultural differences between the companies or their styles of management. Even if there is weak competition, the need for cost savings are not realized and thus not achieved."

Abstract
The writer looks into the consequences of the merger wave and how those consequences will eventually impact the allocation of private and social goods and services to individuals in our communities. The paper defines the terms and analyses the potentially dangerous outcome of the growth of large corporations.
From the Paper
"Several philosophers have gone beyond merely considering the foregoing concepts of justice and principles of distribution, to develop alternative theories of justice in economic distribution in which these concepts and principles " . . . can be assessed and then modified, discarded or defended." Let me now begin a discussion of these economic theories, namely, the views of utilitarianism and libertarianism, as well as John Rawls's ideas about distributive justice. Thereafter, I will examine Rawls's theory of justice more closely and consider the arguments in favor of and in opposition to his primary propositions."

Abstract
This paper lists, reviews and discusses the steps to be taking when merging companies. The paper reports that many mergers end in failure, which is why it is imperative that companies perform proper due diligence.
Outline:
Step 1: Pre-Merger Goals
Step 2: A General Meeting: Showing Executive Leadership
Step 3: Creating Positive Group Behavior
Step 4: Focusing on Refining the Organizational Structure
Step 5: Redefining the Corporate Culture
From the Paper
"At this time, further consolidation of departments to save costs may be necessary--for instance, combining public relations with communications--or, conversely, creating new departments to serve the needs of the new entity. A commitment to organizational development as well as change must be made, as the company gains a better sense of where it wishes to head into the future. Ideally, communications department staff members should make an effort to begin to express this idea to shareholders and the public, as well as internal members of the staff as was done in Step 2. Developing the corporate website and company intranet to facilitate communication on all levels will also be an aid in creating channels to voice concerns and new ideas and dialogue."

Abstract
This paper explains that when Daimler-Benz and Chrysler Corporation announced their merger, much was made of the synergy which would result from the combination of these two automotive giants. However, the results of the merger have been less positive than originally anticipated. The author points out that one of the problems is that the companies came from two different countries and cultures. The author concludes that an integration plan would have helped the organization avoid some of the problems that it has encountered.

From the Paper
"Initially, the goal was to integrate the two companies as quickly as possible, and the company was run with two co-chairmen: Juergen Schrempp (of Daimler) and Robert Eaton (of Chrysler). This co-chairmanship was designed to help allay fears that the company would be undergoing significant shifts in corporate culture immediately. However, the company also established the Automotive Council, which is a panel of executives from the company's three separate automotive divisions. The Automotive Council is responsible for finding ways to combine operations and achieve significant savings from the synergies which are expected to result from the merger. Merger savings of $1.4 billion realized during the first year of the merger are generally attributed to short-term projects."

Company Mergers, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in January 2001, the merger between AOL and Time-Warner was the largest in media history. It was called a mega-merger and was worth $165 billion, but the merger itself was plagued by dissent and rancor, as chronicled in a number of books. The author points out that, in 1996, NBC hooked up with Microsoft to create the cable and Internet news operation, MSNBC, because Microsoft needed content for MSN, and NBC wanted to go head-to-head with CNN. The paper relates that, in 2000, GTE merged with Bell Atlantic to become Verizon Communications, the largest local phone company and wireless operation in the United States, with 88 million customers.

From the Paper
"Although there were some interim permutations and combinations of technology and content by the two companies, in the CNBC/Microsoft deal, NBC believed it could become an ?entity? like AOL, even if on a slightly smaller scale. ?No money or stock changed hands in the transaction, and the two companies plan to divide future revenues from ads and subscription services.? Microsoft was to bear most operating costs while getting a bigger share of the profits. And, the people factor worked out better for Microsoft, too. ?A significant chunk of the CNBC.com staff in Fort Lee, N.J., will be laid off, sources said. No layoffs are expected at Microsoft.?"

From the Paper
"Introduction
In early 1998, Chrysler Corporation, one of the three leading American automakers, and Daimler-Benz, one of Germany's largest industrial companies (and a leading European car manufacturer), announced a planned merger. Mergers and acquisitions in the 1990s differed from those during the 1980s in that the emphasis had shifted on building stronger organizations in the latter decade while mergers and acquisitions during the 1980s focused on improving short-term profits for the acquiring company. The merger was, in part, the result of participating in a mature industry where expanding profit margins depended on expanding market share, and where globalization played an increasingly important role. The decision for Chrysler and Daimler-Benz to join forces was generally seen by analysts as a positive move for both ..."

Time Warner and News Corporation, 2007.

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes the rise of global news conglomerates in the world of print and television news. It shows how the media conglomerates like Time Warner and News Corporation are seeking to establish complete global dominance over print and electronic journalism. The paper then compares and contrasts the growth of the news divisions of these two media conglomerates and reveals that one of the primary motivations for this expansion has been to promote conservative ideology in the guise of objective news reporting.
From the Paper
"Ultimately, the Democratic victory in the 2006 midterm elections and subsequent control of Congress beginning in 2007 may signal the end of this long era of global media conglomeration expansion. One of the fundamental safeguards of democracy is freedom of the press, but the freedom and objectivity of the press has been systematically undermined by these global media conglomerates, for they have replaced objectivity and reasoned political debate with political bias, de facto censorship, and news broadcasts bordering on propaganda. Democrats in Congress, and increasing numbers of Americans have recognized that responses such as reestablishing the Fairness Doctrine and implementing media reforms have become absolutely necessary if responsible media coverage of the news is to be restored."

From the Paper
"In May 1987, Nick Nicholas, president of Time, Inc., called Steve Ross, chairman and CEO of Warner Communications to discuss a joint venture between the cable companies of the two organizations. That phone call resulted in two years of intense negotiations during which the joint venture became a merger, lucrative contracts were written for the key executives of both organizations, and the nation's largest media conglomerate of the time would be created. When news of the merger was announced, Paramount launched a campaign to purchase Time, Inc., which resulted in an unusual defense by Time in order to avoid the hostile takeover. The merger became an acquisition, and the Delaware Supreme Court rendered a verdict indicating that management's right to run a company over the long-term can supersede shareholders' rights to short-term profit.
