Now Your Turn
SAMPLE DIALOG
A: I hear that your corporation has considered acquiring a software development company for some time.
B: That’s quite true. What’s on your mind?
A: We’ve been looking for a merger¹ partner. And we think our company would be a good match for you.
B: Definitely. We have a number of first-rate programmers (program writers\software engineers), and one of our software products is a hit.
A: Then why do you want a merger?
B: We can certainly survive on our own. The problem with us is that we don’t as many reliable sales outlets² as you have. We hope your company can propel us to even greater heights.
A: As a matter of fact, we’ve already received a few attractive bids. So we have to be cautious in making a decision.
B: I hope you will find our company an all-around excellent match. The merger wil turn out to be a win-win (double-win\two-win) situation.
A: I think that might be, though we still have to discuss specifics.
B: Well, we of curse need to work out a scheme that is attractive for both parties.
A: True, we have to keep in mind the interests of the shareholders³ of both sides.
B: Good. That’s why they call you headhunters.
