520			_aExamines the issues connected with corporate mergers which reached a new high in 2000. Notes that during the last two years the number has been affected by the global economic slowdown and several high profile mergers have failed to deliver such as AOL and Time Warner. Argues that mergers are sometimes driven by the wrong reasons by aggressive chief executives because they want to expand the company.
