To finish education successfully and to get a dream job or to get career development, the student should be or become equipped with relevant knowledge and skills. That is, the students will be already equipped with certain knowledge and skills, and with their writing assignments as part of the course needs, they will build on those strengths and will get to know newer things, overriding their weaknesses. Strengths will always give ‘lengths’ to reach one’s targets. For me, this writing assignment enriched my knowledge level manifold.

When this project was assigned to be completed, I started extensive research to find the in-depth details of the topic, the history, current status as well as future possibilities. To understand the background of both the companies, HP and Compaq and then to understand the processes and happenings that happened inside both the companies that lead to the merger initiative, I started reading and collecting relevant materials from various sources. I carried out the first part of the research part by collecting and browsing around 20 odd sources, including books, journals, and websites (which got enlarged to 30 odd sources at the end of the completion of the project). Although there were quite a few books and journals on this topic of HP-Compaq merger, I was able to get a maximum amount of relevant information on the net. When I found and read information on the net, the main thing that ‘stroked’ my mind is, as the merger took place in the initial part of the 21st century, when the internet was exploding, I was able to get a lot of information with just clicks. That is, the internet has a global phenomenon and treasure trove of information and knowledge about various fields particularly about business organizations mainly initiated in the 2000s, and with the merger happening in 2001, it was well covered in many web sources.
