Ολοκληρώνεται η Εξαγορά της ΕΑ Εντός της Επόμενης Εβδομάδας

Σύνοψη Άρθρου Η κοινοπραξία Saudi PIF, Silver Lake και Affinity Partners ολοκληρώνει την εξαγορά της Electronic Arts στις 4 Αυγούστου, έναντι 55 δισ. δολαρίων, με όλες τις ρυθμιστικές εγκρίσεις να έχουν ήδη δοθεί. Σε αντίθεση με το μαραθώνιο Microsoft–Activision Blizzard που κράτησε πάνω από 20 μήνες, το deal της EA προχώρησε χωρίς ουσιαστική αντίδραση από FTC, CMA ή Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή. Το…

The end of something big

Every newsroom, every office, every organization needs a person like Vickki Dozier. 

It’s somebody who isn’t officially in charge, who has no designated authority and isn’t necessarily the most talented person in the room, but who, through a combination of personality, street smarts, humor, institutional knowledge and take-no-guff demeanor, runs the joint.

I worked with Vickki - an “editorial assistant” on paper - for 25 years or so at the Lansing State Journal and came to greatly admire her navigational techniques.

Acknowledging the writing on the wall that predicts an ever-diminishing staff at the LSJ, Vickki recently took advantage of a buy-out offer. I went to her farewell party Wednesday.

It’s hard to imagine the LSJ newsroom without her.

HPE Buys Nimble - What Were They Thinking?

New @georgeacrump News: HPE Buys Nimble - What Were They Thinking?

Yesterday HPE announced it is buying Nimble Storage for a little over 1 billion dollars. That news took almost everyone off-guard and also brought the immediate, “HPE is crazy”, reaction. Instead of writing something up right away, I needed to give this acquisition some thought because at first pass it does indeed seem crazy. Afterall HPE already owns storage properties like 3PAR and StoreVirtual…

Viggle Sucks Under New Management

Viggle Sucks Under New Management

Do you guys remember this lame post I made back in 2013?

I gave a brief overview of a great app that allowed you to earn points and redeem rewards just by watching TV and listening to music.  (The music feature was added after the 2013 post.)  It was amazing!  I spent a lot of time “checking in” to songs and shows, and watching all the extra ads it would let me in order to gain those important…

Dell Buys EMC - Can 2+2=6?

"Analysis of Dell-EMC deal. Can 2+2=6?" by @georgeacrump

As I mentioned in my previous blogabout the IBM-Cleversafe deal, the goal of any technology buyout or merger is to make the combined entities more valuable than they were prior to the acquisition. At Storage Switzerland, we refer to this as a case of 1+1=3 objective. With the announcement of Dell’s intent to buy EMC we need to change the model to 2+2=6, but the question is can the combined…

Dick Cantwell: Corporate Brewing STILL Sucks

Dick Cantwell: Corporate Brewing STILL Sucks

Dick Cantwell has resigned from his position as partner and brewmaster at Elysian Brewing in Seattle, in the wake of the company’s tragic sale to AB/InBev, the Belgian/Brazilian mega-brewer which acquired the brewery as part of a broader plan to insinuate itself into the craft beer community and win back younger drinkers who have abandoned the company’s flagship beers, Bud, Bud Light, and the…

LinkedIn and Lynda

Learning about the union of LinkedIn and Lynda, with the former buying the latter, will make MOOCs and other online learning sites nervous. This will definitely catapult Lynda to an unimaginable prominence and push it to its target audience.

We will all see how LinkedIn will roll-out this partnership in the coming days. I am thinking more reliable skills certifications - hopefully not alienating members with competing skill-certification?

Digitizing the global education and workforce would require all of concerned institutions to get a LinkedIn account. I wonder if that would be something that LinkedIn would actively work on around the world.
