In the last year or so, quite a few big mergers have been announced – Comcast and Time Warner Cable, AT&T and DirecTV, Holcim and Lafarge, Facebook and WhatsApp, General Electric and Alstom, Novartis and Glaxo SmithKline, and most recently, last month majors HJ Heinz and Kraft Food announced a merger. While it might be too early to predict their success, it’s also known that some mergers have only lasted a few months. Tell us of some mergers that have failed. Mail cat.a.lyst@thehindu.co.in
