Stanley and Black & Decker Merge

November 3, 2009

One merger and one acquisition are in the business news this morning.
The merger is perhaps the less exciting of the two, but, for me, the more interesting.
I’ll make some observations about Warren Buffett’s just-breaking news that his Berkshire Hathaway has purchased the rest of railroad Burlington Northern Santa Fe for cash and stock.
Regarding the Stanley-Black & Decker merger, it’s a small but interesting validation of Schumpeterian dynamics.
