New Merger Shaves Off 6000 Jobs...

I had to beat the rest of the publication industry to that one.. EXTRA EXTRA, read all about it.

What side of the fence are you on? Grow to be great, or Size is not a strategy.

What an interesting debate. This morning the merger between Gillete and P&G was announced. Hmm... quick side note.. what do you think they'll call the new Giant P&G&G? PG2?

Anyway, now that two of the largest consumer product organizations have joined at the hip, I come back to the concept of strategy. Is bigger better? Or will this become a whale that cannot negotiate corners very well...

Either way.. I'd hate to be the number 2 in the Consumer Product Category....the new giant is a new twist on the concept of a Category Killer - I think Colgate Palmolive just got Wal*Mart-ed.
