EXCERPTSThe Merger RationaleAfter the merger announcement, HP issued a number of press releases in which it claimed that the new HP would become the undisputed worldwide leader in revenues for servers, access devices (PCs and hand-held devices), and imaging and printing. It would also have a leading revenue position globally for information technology services, storage and management software.
The ProblemsDoubts were raised about Fiorina's ability to execute the merger successfully. According to some analysts, Fiorina was responsible for the mess the merger had landed in. They contended that if she knew Hewlett was against the deal, she should have scrapped the merger talks, rather than risk a damaging proxy fight.
