Notranja rast poteka s pove čevanjem obsega poslovanja v okviru obstoje čih zmogljivosti, ali z dograditvijo novih. Do zunanje rasti pridejo podjetja s povezovanjem dveh ali ve č podjetij v novo, pri čemer se zmogljivosti v narodnem gospodarstvu ne pove čajo. Združene zmogljivosti podjetja bi morale ustvariti boljše u činke in dosežke, kot bi bila vsota u činkov samostojnih podjetij. Notranjo rast je velikokrat težje dose či, zato se pripisujejo zunanji rasti številne prednosti. Vstop na nove trge preko združevanj in prevzemov je veliko hitrejši in cenejši, kot konkuren čni boj za vstop na trge. Nakup obstoje čega podjetja z že uveljavljenimi proizvodi je manj tvegan, kot razvoj novih proizvodov, predvsem za panoge, v katerih so stroški raziskav in razvoja visoki. Blagovne znamke, distribucijske kanale, tehnologijo, patente in licence ter izkušeno poslovodstvo je prav tako veliko lažje najti zunaj podjetja, kot izobraževati, raziskovati in razvijati v podjetju (Rappaport, 1995, str. 215). Spremembe in novi izzivi so postali vsakdanji pojav v svetovnem gospodarstvu. Sredstvo prilagajanja podjetij na spremenjene razmere v poslovanju so tudi procesi združitev in prevzemov, ki so eden od na činov, kako v obdobju globalizacije dose či najhitrejšo rast organizacije in ekonomije obsega. Kapitalsko povezovanje podjetij je ena temeljnih zna čilnosti razvitih gospodarstev ter pomemben na čin zunanje rasti podjetij. Rezultati množi čnih združitev in prevzemov pa niso navdušujo či, saj je le ena tretjina vseh uspešnih. Med razlogi za neuspehe sta najpomembnejša nestrateški in nesistemati čni pristop k procesom združitev in prevzemov ter premajhna pozornost razli čnim podjetniškim kulturam združujo čih se podjetij. Združitve in prevzemi se odvijajo cikli čno v tako imenovanih valovih združevanja. V zadnjem, petem valu združevanja, so med ostalimi podjetji imeli težave z uspešnostjo podjetja AOL in Time Warner, ter podjetje DaimlerChrysler. Nekatere združitve so se kon čale z odprodajo priklju čenega podjetja, tako je podjetje Citigruop prodalo enoto za življenjska zavarovanja MetLife Inc., medtem ko je podjetje American Express objavilo na črte za odcepitev enote za menedžment sredstev (Berman, Latour, 2005, str. 7). V panogi informacijske tehnologije je bilo malo procesov povezovanja podjetij, ki so bila v glavnem neuspešna. Ostra konkurenca in nenehno zniževanje cen sta prisilila podjetja k iskanju strateških povezav, ali k specializiranju na nišne trge. 3. maja 2002 je bila uradno potrjena najve čja združitev v zgodovini panoge, saj sta se združili podjetji Hewlett-Packard in Compaq. To je bila združitev drugega in tretjega najve čjega podjetja v panogi, kar se ne zgodi pogosto v svetovnem gospodarstvu. Po vzponih in padcih združenega podjetja HP je podjetje 9. februarja 2005 odpustilo predsednico in izvršno direktorico podjetja Carleton S. Fiorino. Združitev je bila odmevna, od nje se je veliko pri čakovalo, kmalu pa se je pokazalo, da so bila pri čakovanja prevelika. Podjetji sta se združili v času, ko se je peti val mega združitev umiril in 1 so mnogi strokovnjaki resno razpravljali o smotrnosti združevanja zaradi odmevnih neuspehov (DaimlerChrysler, Boeing in McDonnell Douglas). Ta združitev ni povzro čila dilem za protimonopolne organe, saj je na trgih, na katerih je prisotno združeno podjetje, zelo veliko drugih konkurentov. Odprla pa je številne dileme za lastnike, zlasti potomce ustanoviteljev HP- ja, o tem, ali je bila združitev smiselna. Tri leta po združitvi je primeren čas za preu čitev združenega podjetja, njegovega položaja na trgih v panogi, pozdružitvenih procesov in za oceno uspešnosti združitve. V diplomskem delu bom ocenil, ali je združitev ustvarila pozitivne u činke, ali je še pove čala težave podjetij HP in Compaq, ali pa gre za težave, ki bi v vsakem primeru nastopile in je morda HP nesmiselno potrošil energijo z združitvijo. Predstavljena analiza omogo ča kriti čno ugotavljanje sedanjega stanja združenega podjetja. Namen diplomskega dela je prispevati k razpravam o smiselnosti združitev in prevzemov, ki so se pojavile ob neuspelih procesih povezovanja velikih podjetij v zadnjih letih. V zadnjem valu združevanja so se združevala podjetja v najrazli čnejših panogah, vrednosti združitev pa so dosegle vrtoglave zneske. Podjetja so

Kraemer Irvine, California 92697-4650 Center for Research on Information Technology and Organizations University of California, Irvine SEPTEMBER 1999 Copyright ã1999. J. Dedrick & K. Kraemer Acknowledgement: This research has been supported by grants from the CISE/IIS/CSS Division of the U.S. National Science Foundation and the NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (CISE/EEC) to the Center for Research on Information Technology and Organizations (CRITO) at the University of California, Irvine. Industry sponsors include: ATL Products, the Boeing Company, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Canon Information Systems, IBM, Nortel Networks, Rockwell International, Microsoft, Seagate Technology, Sun Microsystems, and Systems Management Specialists (SMS). Abstract Compaq Computer, based in Houston, Texas, is the world’s largest personal computer manufacturer and the fourth largest information technology (IT) company. From 1992-1997, the company’s aggressive high volume PC strategy propelled it to high growth rates in revenues, while its leadership in PC servers sustained strong margins and drove profit growth. Starting in 1995, former CEO Eckhard Pfieffer began to transform Compaq from a pure PC company to a full-service IT company that could compete with the likes of IBM and Hewlett- Packard. The key strategic moves were the acquisitions of Tandem Computer and Digital Equipment Corporation in 1997 and 1998, giving Compaq a diverse line of technologies and service capabilities. Compaq stumbled badly in 1998 as it faced new challenges in the PC market and tried to assimilate Tandem and Digital.

  • Hp and Compaq Combined: in Search of Scale and Scope
    CASE: SM-130 DATE: 07/15/04 ( REV. 2/3/06) HP AND COMPAQ COMBINED: IN SEARCH OF SCALE AND SCOPE I’m going to overgun this thing.1 —Carleton “Carly” S. Fiorina, Chairman and CEO, Hewlett-Packard INTRODUCTION A merger as big and bold as Hewlett-Packard’s $19 billion acquisition of Compaq Computer in 2002 had never taken place before in the technology industry. HP’s CEO, Carly Fiorina, called it an “historic” event.2 To many critics, however, the merger seemed doomed to fail. Whatever their opinion of the strategic rationale, many observers thought that HP would not be able to successfully integrate its former rival. An embattled competitor described it as a “slow motion collision of two garbage trucks.”3 Even HP’s head of human resources compared mergers in general to icebergs where the real work takes place below the surface.4 The merger would produce one very large iceberg; perhaps big enough to sink competitors, or break up under the stress of internal and external forces. Nevertheless, Fiorina believed it was the right move for HP, and a key element in her strategic objective to make HP, in her words, “the leading technology company in the world.” Winning shareholder approval for the merger proved to be a tough fight for Fiorina and her senior executive team. Compaq’s shareholders were willing enough to swap their stock for HP shares, but HP’s shareholders proved harder to convince. Announced on Labor Day 2001, it was clear from the outset that the deal would lead to the elimination of at least 15,000 jobs.
