PX/all, Five Companies That Will Be Dead by the Year 2000 Dated by fun to read. GM Jesse Berst, Editorial Director ZDNet AnchorDesk In a movie called D.O.A., a man strolls into a police station to report his own murder. Poisoned by a toxin with no antidote, by the time he learns he is ill -- he is actually as good as dead. A number of technology companies are about to find themselves in a similar situation. They are as good as dead, they just don't realize it yet. Only a miracle could save them. A merger, for instance. An acquisition. Or an innovative overhaul. Not surprisingly, many of the doomed companies are trapped near the bottom of volatile or mortally wounded market segments. Segments that have been poisoned by price cutting. The Internet. Or other advancing technologies. Some of the tainted include: Second-tier computer makers. Without comparable low-cost customized offerings, companies such as AST, NEC and others have fallen into a treacherous commodity trap. Now they are being squeezed to death. [snip] zdnet.com
