2. Market leadership
Blackboard has been making its own smart acquisitions over the past several years, gobbling up competitors while expanding its innovative software and service offerings. It now leads the entire educational market, including universities, corporations, and associations. If Google were to acquire Blackboard, it would absorb a massive customer base, allowing Big Goo to pretty much own the space in one quick transaction. What's more, Microsoft has shown some interest in course-management systems -- its SharePoint has this capability. Teaming up with Blackboard would put Google in an excellent competitive position against its Redmond rival.
Es wird zu einem erneuten Zweikampf kommen und davon werden die Aktionäre von Blackboard profitieren. Internet Capital ist mit 2,2 Millionen Aktionen, die momentan erst 86 Millionen wert sind, einer der größten Aktionäre von Blackboard. |
