  • A Case Study on Merger of Skype and Microsoft
    European Journal of Business, Economics and Accountancy Vol. 8, No. 1, 2020 ISSN 2056-6018 VALUATION OF TARGET FIRMS IN MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS: A CASE STUDY ON MERGER OF SKYPE AND MICROSOFT Nguyen Vuong Bang Tam Thu Dau Mot University VIETNAM [email protected] ABSTRACT Mergers and acquisitions have become the most popular used methods of growth for the company and it’s one of the best ways to make a shortcut to get the success. They create the larger potential market share and open it up to a more diversified market, increase competitive advantage against competitors. It also allows firms to operate more efficiently and benefit both competition and consumers. However, there are also many cases that the synergy between acquiring company and acquired company failed. The most common reason is to not create synergy between both of them. In recent months, the merger between Microsoft and Skype is a very hot topic of analysts and viewers…etc. This acquisition presents a big opportunity for both firms, Skype give Microsoft a boost in the enterprise collaboration. To exchange for this synergy, Microsoft paid $8.5 billion in cash for Skype, the firm is not yet profitable. Skype revenue totaling $860 million last year and operating profit of $264 million, the company lost $6.9 million overall, according to documents filed with the SEC. Is that a good deal for Microsoft? Many analysts have different point of view but most of them have negative perspective. Research was to provide the analysis of Skype’s intrinsic value with an optimistic view of point about Skype’s future, Microsoft overpaid for Skype.

    Jeffrey A. Sonnenfeld 59 Steve Jobs’ Immortal Quest and the Heroic Persona Jeffrey A. Sonnenfeld Yale University October 2011 was a month of historic milestones for Apple. At the end of the prior month, on Tuesday, September 27, Apple sent media invitations for a press event to be held October 4, 2011 at 10:00 am at the Cupertino Headquarters for a major announcement. Several prominent industry analysts proclaimed with hopeful optimism that the firm would announce the return of Apple founder Steve Jobs. Sadly, Steve Jobs did not appear for what turned out to be a product announcement of the iPhone 4S. In fact, Jobs had stepped down as CEO on January 17, 2011, a year and a half after returning from medical leave. He stated that Tim Cook, Apple’s Chief Operating Officer, would run day-to-day operations as he had previously done during Jobs’ 2009 medical leave. The analysts’ wishful thinking had some basis in more than cult like denial of Steve Jobs’ mortality. In fact, despite that medical leave, Jobs had returned for the iPad 2 launch on March 2 and the iCloud introduction on June 6. The analysts were among many constituents around the world who were to be tragically disappointed. Jobs actually had resigned as CEO on August 22, 2011 saying, “I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come” (Isaacson, 2011). Six weeks later, a day after the new iPhone press conference, he died (Isaacson, 2011).

    006-019 11/30/99 2:31 PM Page 6 Chapter1 Execution Is Everything: John Doerr, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers The writer Wallace Stegner spent a lifetime trying to correct the popular myth of the rugged individualist who settled the American West. He demonstrated how this arid land actually was—and could only be—settled by people who cooperated and worked together. As American CEOs have become celebrated heroes, the same correction is needed in the popular myth of the lone entrepreneur and visionary. Developing something new and sustainable in the harsh and unforgiving environ- ment of business requires the collaborative effort of many peo- ple. The hard work of making visions real takes teamwork. John Doerr has seen this truth while observing and contribut- ing to the visions of Silicon Valley for nearly 20 years. Silicon Valley venture capitalists like Doerr are a unique and powerful force behind visions that have a chance to be- come real. They provide funds to start new companies and they help recruit and nurture the teams who run them. A venture capitalist’s office is often the site of the earliest criti- cal test for people with a vision, especially one based on new 6 006-019 11/30/99 2:31 PM Page 7 Execution Is Everything➤ 7 technology. If they communicate their vision effectively, they can get the funding they need faster and at a better price, and they’ll have a useful ally to help open other doors. If they don’t, they’ll find it much harder to get started.
