Let's look at a merger between MSFT and YHOO. I suggest the worth of such a deal would be worth $40/share to YHOO.

The criteria are these:

Fit: What do they both bring to the table? What do they both need? Does the one have what the other has?

Synergy: Where can various divisions take their businesses to improve growth?

Survival: Do the both have critical unmet needs that could be filled by the other in already developed business? This is different than fit because the assumption here is minimal capital outlay or immediate earning accrual from mere owner/operator change. E.g., MSFT needs YHOO to compete against GOOG worldwide due to the implied facility YHOO owns worldwide.

Compatible: Do these two have compatible corporate cultures?
