[QUOTE="Clegghorn, post: 265679"] I disagree about the potential accretion. TNT has been building an extensive Pan-Asia network, and a Mideast linehaul network, both could be significant contributions to UPS. However, what price is to be paid for such an acquisition? As you say, the "integration problems" always seem to be the pinch. Not simply integration of corporate culture is in question, but the business arrangements that are already established by both parties may conflict. TNT has the better knowledge/experience base of the two companies in those regions, and retaining such value is not easy when the deck chairs get rearranged. The best deal for UPS has already been missed, that would have been UPS-SCS and the former TNT Logistics. Such a combination would have put UPS-SCS in a much more competitve position in reference to the top half dozen to ten international forwarders. Hey, one never knows. When you hear a CEO say his firm is not up for takeover, you can't trust him. It all depands on well the pot is sweetened. [/QUOTE]
