Unless it is due to problems similar to "the problem of the commons," where the problem cannot be solved by the members without engaging in activities prohibited under the anti-trust laws, it should be to manage the bankruptcy process.  Otherwise, it should be uninvolved entirely.  It should allow the weakest to fail and allow the industry to determine its own course.

Too complex an issue to resolve here.  You really should talk one to one with an expert.

Legal risks as well as the tax consequences are very big.  HR and cultural issues becomes another concern.  Marketing as well as filing requirements in the countries affected, etc...just to name a few.\n\nThere's really too little information here to give any meaningful advice.

If they have entered into buying a property together, then they have to sell it and divide or buy out who ever is leaving.\n\nCommonly there is argument over the shares, the court will use constructive law principles to sort it out. \nIf they have not done any joint transactions, then they no owe to liability to each other. \n\nTwo people living together generally has no meaning, but the law will construct trusts to solve property disputes.\nThey can try to reach an agreement about who gets joint movable property ie possessions, if they can't they may resort to getting lawyers. This would be counter productive as the costs are prohibitve for trivial dispute.

Conceptually, this is a simple task.  Identify the business unit's core process while simultaneously identifying the problems with it.  Determine the problem with either the greatest ROI (if cash is immediately required), maximum visibility (if you need to establish credibility), or least risk (if you doubt top management support) and fix that one first.\n\nIn reality, this is very difficult if not impossible for someone inside an organization to do because of questions about management support, access and control over available resources, political resistance, etc.

1) What is the strategy behind the merger?  Why do they want to merge?\n2) What is the proposed deal structure?  What will be exchanged (cash, shares, others?)?  How would each company be valued?\n3) How will the two companies function?  Will they be operated independently or will they merge their operations?\n4) Will there be any layoffs?\n\nTry some books that tackle Mergers and Acquisitions and you will get more answers.

I would discuss this with your company management and see what they say.  If they're providing the home office, they probably have guidelines for deciding issues like this.

Any time you merge companies, there will be a lot of detail that will change the time frame. (Nobody thought to figure out which company's coffee filters to use...)\n\nBecause you're in a state of flux, you have some options. Option one is that you can decide that the atmosphere is too uncomfortable there, so you can resign and move on. Option two is that you can hang in there and wait for all of the details to be ironed out - and while the corporations are doing that, you can be putting that 'business as usual' face on for your customers and the public. This option has rewards. For your faithful service during the transition period, the company will reward you with a severance package, which is a way of saying, "Thank you. We needed you, and you hung in there with us."\n\nBy the way, you now have a new target date of March '07. It's entirely possible that the new joint company will see that your department actually IS necessary, and they may offer you a long term employment. \n\nBest of luck to you. - Stuart

Depends who the company is and size.Try going to your area manager,if you have one and try sorting things out that way.If you don't have any luck,go over their heads and go straight to company manager.

depends on the need of the company...

Without more specifics, it could be a statutory consolidation as well.\n\nBut it sounds as though he is refering to a horizontal merger.

Noooo. Yahoo is a multi-billion dollar company.  It's not going anywhere.\n\nIt may merge with a larger company...but it won't shut down.

Problems are the risks undertaken at every step of a transactions.Risks of being taken over by bigger businesses.Risks of going bankrupt and sued by creditors.Prospects for small business are good because multinationals outsource their operations to small firms these days to save money.

It's certainly possible.  I think the question is whether all types of business can manage it.  It can't be easy for an arms manufacturer to do it, for example.\n\nHave a listen to the radio program that I've linked to below.  (Click on the link below "Listen again".
