Description

Chapter 9. Corporate Strategy: Strategic Alliances, Mergers, and Acquisitions

Reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Identify what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding.

Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

  1. In the fall of 2016 Yahoo disclosed several major security breaches involving more than 1.5 billion user accounts. The results of these disclosures delayed the purchase by Verizon and reduced the Yahoo purchase price by at least $300 million. In June 2017 Yahoo shareholders agreed to the final sale to Verizon, nearly a year after the purchase was announced. What responsibility do firms have for the protection of customer data provided in the operation of their firm? Should Verizon have backed out of the deal with Yahoo given the scale and duration of the security issues brought to light in the fall of 2016? (see related article and video, “Why Verizon Decided to Stick With Yahoo Deal after Big Data Breaches,” WSJ).

Respond to the post of at least two peers, using 100 words minimum each.

[Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion].

[Your initial post should be at least 450+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double spaced). Post the actual body of your paper in the discussion thread then attach a Word version of the paper for APA review]

[Your post must be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material. A peer response such as “I agree with her,” or “I liked what he said about that” is not considered substantive and will not be counted for course credit. A blank post just to review other submissions will not be tolerated]

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
Strategic Management
Yahoo is one of the known companies worldwide that suffered the impact of a
massive security breach. Since its public admission to lose over 1.5 billion user accounts,
several business strategies were in question inclusive of purchase by Verizon. Business

partners, stakeholders and shareholders align different strategies to ensure companies recover
from such impacts (Business Continuity Plan). Verizon was interested in venturing into the
digital media business and purchased Yahoo even after the disclosed breach that caused the
company a big loss (Yahoo). The plans and goals put in place by both companies are referred
to as strategic management.
Rothaermel Frank introduces different concepts in his book Strategic Management
which helps understand the strategy behind Verizon purchasing Yahoo. The build, borrow or
buy is a framework that helps firms identify their key resources (capabilities and
competencies) and how they...
