Hold on! I am not suggesting that Microsoft and Yahoo together is quivalent to a Sony Toshiba merger. Since most people have an opinion about Microsoft's bid for Yahoo, I thought I would add my 2 cents to it, here it is - A man named Fumiaki Sato wrote a book called "A Scenario for the Realignment of Japan's Electronics Industry" where he talks about how the Merger of Japenese electronics manufactures into two huge corporations would help maintain profitability in the long run. I came across this book in Business Week(http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/07_19/b4033083.htm)
Since a lot of the execs managing businesses are supposed to reading business magaznines, I am wondering if they got the idea for Microsoft Yahoo merger after reading this book?
