Abstract

Last summer, in the heat of the fierce bidding battle for Conoco, press criticism of acquisitions and mergers was also heating up. Time magazine expressed some “Big Doubts About Big Deals.” Newsweek explored “The New Urge to Merge,” and wondered “Is Business Getting Too Big?” Fortune was a lonely holdout on the newsstand as it pleaded, “Don't Stop the Mating Game.”
