The deal, $180.95 billion was resisted by the majority of Germans who worried that takeovers like this one would spell the end for German businesses. Vodafone's acquisition made the firm the world's largest mobile operator and set the tone for future mergers and price-wars within the telecom space.

Acquisition of eBay India-
Flipkart Flipkart has not had it easy in the past couple of years. Besides multiple devaluations by investors, there has been major leadership churn, the most recent being Kalyan Krishnamurthy taking over as CEO, replacing Binny Bansal who took over as Flipkart Group CEO. Co-founder Sachin Bansal is now executive chairman. An official press release has stated that in exchange for an equity stake in Flipkart, eBay is making a cash investment in and selling its "eBay India" business to Flipkart. eBay will continue to operate as an independent entity. eBay, unlike Amazon India, has so far not been aggressive in the Indian market. But now Flipkart and eBay have signed an exclusive cross-border trade agreement so that their customers can access the inventory of each other’s sellers,hence making this move both strategically and economically strong. Flipkart said it has raised $1.4 billion led by China’s internet giant Tencent, with participation from the online auction site eBay & Microsoft.This marks the largest capital infusion for any privately-held Indian internet venture. The motive was explained in this statement of the CEO of eBay inc. "The combination of eBay’s position as a leading global e-commerce company and Flipkart’s market stature will allow us to accelerate and maximise the opportunity for both companies in India,” said Devin Wenig, President and CEO of eBay Inc.

New York Central & Pennsylvania Railroad

Corporate mergers don’t always work out, and in the history of mergers and acquisitions, Penn Central sticks out as one of the poorest. In 1962, a time when transportation trends were shifting towards super highways and air-travel, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the New York Central Railroad Company decided to merge and form Penn Central. The merger was officially approved in 1968, only for it to file for bankruptcy just two years later.

With 4.6 billion in assets at the onset, it seemed shocking this could happen. But strict regulations, inflating labor costs and executive clashing all came together like a corporate Bermuda triangle. Thousands were affected by the bankruptcy, and it’s safe to say this was one merger that utterly flopped.
