Both Compaq and DEC need to find a unified strategy direction to pursue, not keep fighting to see which programs or software platforms by business unit will survive or not. The case study is a classic example of what happens when IT infrastructure becomes more important than the strategic growth of a merged organization. The case also illustrates how powerful IT infrastructure and information flows are in creating an effective culture or not as well. If the management team had focused =more on IT initiatives that would unify and capture the best of both companies, there is a good chance they would still be independent today. Second, the lack of strategic vision and insight into just how profitable the B2O and mass customization strategies could have been is remarkable.

Compaq and DEC needed to use IT architectures to create a unified corporate culture supporting by strongly integrating product, marketing, service and long-term customer relationship strategies.

They will marvel at our wallpaper and our sofas and laugh at aesthetic crimes to which we are impervious.
