摘要

To mining people, the proposed Inco-Falconbridge merger was a no-brainer. These two companies control the giant and magnificent Sudbury Basin. This geological feature arguably controls a disproportionate amount of the world's nickel. Seeing two smelters sitting side by side makes no sense. Redundant management, overlapping infrastructure and inefficient production scheduling each offer proof that this area needs to be rationalized under one management team. Heck, even the management of these two Canadian companies predicted between 500 dollars and 900 million dollars a year in savings. Furthermore, Sudbury is the core asset of each company. A child could understand the value of merging them. So why didn't the Falconbridge shareholders vote in favor of the merger? The answer is simple to financial engineers but difficult for the average layman. The reason that the merger makes no sense is because the two companies could not agree on a new name for the combined entities. Inco wanted to call it "Inco." (Inco is actually an abbreviation for "Inc'Oh." One would have thought management would have named their Canadian company "Inc Eh?"). Falcon-bridge's management wanted to preserve their legacy by merging the names in a fair way. Candidate names included "Falconbridgeln-co," "Falconbridge Inc" and "Falconbridge IncEh." Inco retaliated with "Inco." Emotions ran high as a compromise was sought. Overpaid investment bankers weighed in but their suggestions were summarily rejected. After all, who would want to work for a company named "Fal-Inco," "Incobridge" or "Falln-cobridge."
