i understand mittals and arcelors are different clients.. but there sure is some scraping of each others customers which would happen in business so huge and when they are the top guys, also, since they are the mostly considered top two the scraping could actually be more, and the cold war would have been there for a long time unlike what many think as a new war because of a new interest of acquisition.
i am not for acquisitions, it helps the acquiring company become bigger suddenly.... but sure swallows all the vision and drive the acquired company and its employees had. Further it stops innovation in products and services of both companies for a while, waiting for the settling the sudden growth... All big companies that acquired another big one go out of news and new launches for a while, like digesting a huge mouthful with fear of spilling.
but i am feeling it that mittal wont be able to take up arcelor, because of the highhanded interests of seemingly many external parties including the country's government in blocking the acquisition by trying sanctions. On the other hand, if this takeover wins, like how oracle forcefully bought a fast-growing company peoplesoft without peoplesoft's interests, it would revive confidence in all those hungry big companies after a long time of failures with the gallop- majority-stock acquisition method. Who knows microsoft might try renewed efforts to acquire SAP.
