According to the article, how will EMC’s takeover help Dell?
In a major announcement on October 12, EMC accepted the $67-billion price tag offered by Dell for a takeover. This is the biggest tech deal in history and adds to a series of recent mergers across many industries.
According to Dell, eight banks have committed to finance as much as $49 billion for the deal. Dell will raise another $10 billion through the market, with institutional shareholders chipping in with a further $8 billion.
The Dell-EMC deal evokes memories of two other buyouts in the 1990s: IBM bought Lotus, and Compaq bought Digital Equipment Corporation. The first was a success, while the second turned out to be a failure.
Experts speculate that the acquisition will help Dell make a major play in the cloud computing industry. Besides, it might position Dell better in competing with Chinese vendors. However, Dell will have to find ways to reduce its debt burden after the merger. It could either engage in cost-cutting measures or sell off its weaker businesses to raise cash.
