    Make your case strong. If the business you're pitching to could take or leave an acquisition altogether, your company has an even greater responsibility to make a compelling argument for a deal. This means pulling out all the stops when you arrange meetings, and crafting a clear vision for how acquisition could benefit both companies.

    "Try to avoid gossiping and speculation," he cautions. "Focus on the work at hand. Of course, it doesn't hurt to do some networking while you are waiting for the outcome of the merger or acquisition, but avoid jumping at the first job that comes your way. Many times people get promoted during acquisitions and some get retention bonuses for taking on the risk of staying with the company."

    Blockbuster Video, Comp USA, Tower Records, Borders Bookstore-you may have had some fun childhood memories in one of these stores, but they're a mere sample of how physical retailers have fallen at the hands of online competitors. It wasn't surprising-significant disruptions in the retail space occur every ten years or so. First mall-based chains were crowded out by big box retailers that could leverage size and scale, which translated into better price-points.

    Tech observers might have scratched their heads at the news that Microsoft paid more than $2 billion for Minecraft, an award-winning game that can be played across platforms. The sum of cash alone is a stunning figure, but the acquisition also raises questions about the measures tech giants will take to diversify their holdings. Even a giant company known best for its operating systems can benefit from absorbing popular, audience-rich games into its portfolio.

    Because web applications are a new frontier in business strategy, absorbing one system into another, migrating data across platforms and training staff has less precedent than, say, adjusting a company's real estate portfolio. More and more, cloud-based technologies are changing the way employees interface with one another, as well as the work they do.
