Oracle vs. Software
Why would Oracle want to purchase PeopleSoft?
Oracle Corp. wants to buy peopleSoft because it wants to cater almost all of the needs of big corporations. Oracle is looking for a leadership position so that it could gain prominence in the same way for big corporations as what Microsoft is for general public and small companies. In the present market, there are several players, which meet different kinds of business demands of large corporations. Some are niche player such as Sable and sells customer relation management needs, while some such as PeopleSoft and Oracle meet data integration and other logistic needs of the businesses.
With the rapid rise in market consolidation, some companies, such as SAP, are trying to meet all corporate buyer's needs. In this sense, if Oracle buys PeopleSoft, it would be as formidable and competitive as SAP (Kerstetter, 2003). Though acquiring PeopleSoft is unlikely to provide instant leadership to Oracle, as most corporate are gravitating toward SAP, since SAP software has a reputation these days for being less buggy than Oracle's. However, in due course of time, by acquiring PoepleSoft, Oracle is likely to become number 2 to challenge the position of SAP. In the present time, selling the best individual product no longer matters; integration and simplicity does. In this sense, when Oracle acquires PoepleSoft, Oracle becomes a company with deep knowledge of software integration. At presently, there are three or four major players in the market: SAP, Oracle, IBM, and PoepleSoft.
However, by acquiring PoepleSoft, Oracle is also likely to get a larger market-share and also reduce the cost of its operations with the economies of scale. In addition by acquiring PeopleSoft, Oracle is likely to get the advantages through rapid implementation of software systems due to the advantage of PoepleSoft's knowledge in software integration in the market.

As a result the "Driving for Higher Performance" campaign (note the play on words of the company's general mission to produce better and better cars every year) Toyota is "now able to zero in on where there are major fluctuations" that deviate from its overall mission of excellence and "drill down on variances that could impact the forecast for the balance of the year," according to Doi. (Ozzimo, 2006)
PeopleSoft and Oracle Merger Why was this a hostile takeover? PeopleSoft strongly resisted the attempts of Oracle to buy out its stock, thus making the takeover hostile rather than friendly. "When the deal [merger] is unfriendly -- that is, when the target company does not want to be purchased -- it is always regarded as an acquisition."
