EchoStar/DirecTV Case Write Up Based on the Horizontal Merger Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), as set forth by the U.S. DOJ and the FTC, the merger between EchoStar and DirecTV should not be approved for four reasons: (1) the merger will significantly increase concentration in the MVPD market, (2) the merger will result in adverse competitive effects that will harm consumers, including increased pricing, (3) high barriers to entry prevent market entry, and (4) claims that the merger will result in efficiency gains do not have substantive evidence. When evaluating anticompetitive effects of a merger, market concentration can be used to measure the combined firms’ market power post-merger. The more concentrated a market, the fewer the competitors, and the more likely a firm will exercise market power. EchoStar and DirecTV are the only MVPD competitors in many geographically rural markets, where cable television service is not offered. Therefore, a merger between the two firms would greatly increase concentration in these markets and create a monopoly.
CB is facing a dilemma because the CEO wants new products that are healthier without straining relations with existing customers who made the CB wealthy. The problem is further compounded by the dissention between Dale Berry, (CEO), Terry Hersch, (VP New Product Development) and Pat French (VP Manufacturing). Both Berry and Hersch wanted a new product but French was against such a development. The Approach: Engaged by CB to consider alternatives, I would first reiterate what steps led to Innovation Technology being retained. Problem 1: The current products of CB lead to obesity and associated with heart disease, which is the meritorious reason that justifies a needed change.
Goldstein's success in his initial performance led him to take a different approach in 1996. Instead of being passive investor and simply waiting for discounts to close naturally he decided to take a more active role and become the catalyst to close the discounts. As an active investor Goldstein's objective was to convince enough shareholders of the fund that closing the discount was in their best interests and that electing him to represent the fund was the best way to achieve these goals. Gaining enough influence over shareholders to gain control of the strategy used was very difficult as managers of the fund would oppose most initiatives put forth by Goldstein as it was typically against their interests. However, if everything came together appropriately, Goldstein could forcibly close the discount and earn an exceptional return wen he has free reign over the fund's strategy.

This may position Intel as non-innovative company and therefore damage the brand equity since Intel is known as being innovating in technology. One of the biggest disadvantage of not opening up the Intel inside ad campaigns to the cellphone/PDA market immediately is it is possible that another competitor would be able to identify and reach the opportunity first, which may give them the opportunity to be the leading component of the devices and would create the demand for the competitors’ brand. However, it is possible that the manufactures of the phones find it difficult to find a value in the Intel brand name, which could end up the company having to put up all of the advertising cost alone (as opposed to sharing the cost as they did previously with the PC manufactures) and there may be a lack of cooperation in branding the Intel logo on the phones. In according to the PC market, Intel was allowed to place their logo on the computers but the cell phone manufacture market is not promised.

In the end, the choice he made was probably the better of the two. He did step down as COB but still pretty much kept his place in authority at B of A.

The CEO and his colleagues should've done their research and find that out for themselves. 2. I think that the error in decision making came because the CEO didn't know the terrible status of the company.
