  I think that this topic is really interesting, especially the case of microsoft and yahoo. I think that finally microsoft its going to buy yahoo bercause it's the biggest software brand and company in the word. However I think that Bill Gates had a lot of problems with his direct competition Yahoo, this is beacuse the managers of yahoo are really inteligents and now how to read the bussines market, they have win a lot of money with this comapany and i'm sure that they wouldn't want to sell the company to Microsoft, however they will be finishing on their hands they wanted or not, because microsoft its too big and they will make an offer to yahoo that they would not be able to reject.

  what I understood is that was about 4 companies ...the 2 first were google y yahoo and the other delta airlines and nortwest...and was something about a merger between 2 companies...but those companies will be continuing using their own names (brands) but they will be working with other budget ...other money...what I read was that probably google should bue yahoo for many reasons..but they say that probably yahoo will lose some of important employees...those ones are maybe the people who dont want to work for microsoft because there are some people that thinks that microsoft is "The Evil Empire."... and in the airlains case...delta airlines should buy nortwest airlines...in these case they talk about that some people can pay 10 20 or even 50 dollars more for the level of the food or the service that they are reciving but it sounds irrational because the company should ofer good service anyways whitout the necesity of pay more money

  As a aggressive strategy, Microsoft, is basically giving Yahoo three weeks to accept its current offer or face a proxy battle. Yahoo hasn't indicated any positive inclination so far to come and negotiate. Microsoft is just putting forward this step in order to make sure that there is some resolution either way.
  
  If Microsoft bye yahoo, will have a strong competitor in the research virtual market on internet, google... so here there is a very aggressive competition between not only two compannies .. also is adding microsoft behaind yahoo.. maybe this will be a good help for yahoo but also is de depending of yahoo from microsoft..
  
  There si a positive and negative side

  Mergers In the Air.
  This article was about profit, social implications, competition, and fair trade issues. Moreover business combination and who this can affect the negotiations. and who the company must to deal whit the customer becase there are a lot of factors that can affect this negotiations.Foreign factors that can affect negotiations as for example the economy of the country.
  
  Advantages of this factors could be that the company will hace a mutual agreement with the client comes near to a mutual agreement with the client, it`s more fast the negocitations, there aren`t any conflict.
  
  also the union of 2 company can be better because they are coign to use their ideas together and if there is a problñem they are going to solutionate faster than before.
  
  disadvantages:
  If 2 company join it could be dificult understand the way of work of the other because all the companies have differents ways of work.
  On the other hand they could hace a lot of ideas but the two parts hace to agree with all that they propose.

  in my opinio the advantages is the union of both company is going to open opportunity for the future because one for another this related and additional to save itself much what is advertising part and the promotion.that its generates descunt the cost of the consumers , and the disadvantage is that the companies but weak the identity is lost, perhaps and as desminuye works together them use for the workers and this generates unemployment.I think that union of two companies generates but advantage that disadvantages but in global world always is necessary to adapt the technology.

  well, i think that this topic is very interesting because try about two biggest company: yahoo and google. the two company are very competive around the world and I think that Microsoft's been criticized to compete with Google and improve their presence on the internet and the web space. Now, they have decided that they are going to do a very credible and serious move in that direction. is similar with yahoo since it was created and was combined, however both have other competitor as delta. but they are going to do a llot of advertising, their publish is all the time in the online, in any page when to use internet. is very commercially and fast.

  Well, is very interesting the interview where all the people give your opinion but I agree with Chaudhuri, and I think that if anything Microsoft's been criticized for not taking more aggressive steps in the past, to compete with Google and improve their presence on the internet and the web space and so forth. Now, they have decided that they are going to do a very credible and serious move in that direction. And so, they are just moving it towards its logical conclusion. I think it's about that. It's a very rational move, in my opinion, for them to do something. This is because if you look at it, both Yahoo and Microsoft combined could actually be some force against Google on the internet,especially in the advertising space and alone they have been struggling for quite a few years now.

  Well, both Yahoo and Google have services that monetize searching, Yahoo did sort of a crash course project called Panama to improve their service, and Google is the competitor that clearly Microsoft is trying to buy Yahoo, in part, to compete against.
  Is large process to merger the companies, Microsoft have a clear idea to merger with Yahoo, but this company need becomes clear to the Yahoo employees as well, and they decide and can be convinced that joining forces with Microsoft.
  Then of the merger between both companies, they going to have a changes in theirs organizational structures.
  Yahoo is basically an online media company, They are both smart companies
  there would be smarter ways to do the integration, to take advantage of it.

  I think that Microsoft needs to do something in order to strengthen its presence in that area to have a fantastic opportunity and give a good reputation. I think that will find a way to get people to have brand loyalty, which hardly to all kind of mergers,could be airline industry like example of Continental or microsoft.
  I tink that two companies together that have some complimentary assets and improve to have more income and have a better develop in the market with this ways of make integration to have more advantage with others big companies

  i think that microsoft dont have buy to yahoo becouse this company is very heading diferent and yahoo as an independent company in a very powerful and Garand.
  
  On the other hand microsoft company have nessesary money for change all the company and give a imagen diferent and more creative and have more tecnology to improve yahoo.
  
  this company is posision in the internet and if microsoft company the buy now is posible that disappears.

  yahoo to become unpopular becouse lost to aggressive strategies in terms of competition and advertising, and this make that microsoft have a complain and say that if yahoo not come to the negotiating table microsoft going to disapear yahoo. microsft has had a lot of patience because yahoo represent one of the most important company on the internet for that reson microsoft wait a long time and now microsof can't wait so it seems that the feelings of yahoo are not going to change and also yahoo think or wait for something in the marketplace to change. we think that if Yahoo still has customers is by its loyal customers becouse a long time ago there isn`t much movement so yahoo does not mind attracting new customers.

  I think that, if yahoo think in create a big change inside itself that could affect to the employers or clients that It has, It must think more and has to stay prepare to all the changes that could appear. We know that Yahoo is a company with a lot of prestige and market share. It doesn’t have to generate a imbalance in the company because affect their own market. If yahoo think in merge with Microsoft, I think that could be a great way to fight with google, that it is the best and hard competitor, especially in the advertisement space. If Microsoft has been critiziced because fight to google and it doesn’t have all the posilibility and capacity to can destroy google, I think that the way of merge with yahoo will improve the things and a future better appear for us.
