High Tech Shakeout Coming?







High Tech Shakeout Coming?

High Tech Shakeout Coming? 09/16/2004 01:37 PM

While the business press has been so focused on Oracle's hostile takeover attempt of PeopleSoft, not too many have been reporting that it might signal the beginning of a significant trend in certain high tech sectors. As the industries start to mature, many are ripe for restructuring, often via mergers. The analysis provided in the McKinsey Quarterly (who, it should be noted, probably has some incentive to push more companies to merge, so they can get more consulting business telling companies how to merge) suggests that this realization will lead to many more hostile takeovers -- something that isn't often seen in the tech world. Certainly, there are some industries that are maturing and commoditizing products (which is a good thing), which should lead to opportunities for certain industries to restructure. What's much more interesting, however, are the opportunities this creates for smaller businesses to leverage both the mature industries and the upheaval to create new and innovative products and services.

Tech IPOs Slowly Coming Back


Tech IPOs Slowly Coming Back 11/11/2003 11:37 AM
We've been joking recently about all the parallels between what's happening today and what happened early on in the bubble years, to point out that we're heading right back into where things left off. Of course, there are some major differences. While tech companies are (slowly, slowly) starting to go public again, this time it looks like their financials are a lot more sound. We're not seeing the same sort of wildly speculative IPOs where companies who are nowhere near making a profit are cashing in for millions in IPO money (which often seems to make them forget that a company actually needs to make money from customers, and not just from Wall Street). Of course, many people would add a big "yet" to that statement. Right now, most of the companies going public are profitable (or close to it), but if things heat up again, it wouldn't be surprising to see VCs push out a few more wildly speculative IPOs.
