Monmouth Inc. Case Harry and Vincent

Assignment Task 

Monmouth

Harry Vincent, executive vice president of Monmouth, Inc., was reviewing acquisition candidates for his company’s diversification program. One of the companies, Robertson Tool Company, had been approached by Monmouth three years earlier but had rejected all overtures. Now, however, Robertson was in the middle of a takeover fight that might provide Monmouth with a chance to gain control.

Questions

1. If you were Mr. Vincent, executive vice president of Monmouth, Inc., would you try to gain control of Robertson Toll in May 2003?

2. Do you believe Robertson Toll would fit into Monmouth’s long-range plans?

3. How does Monmouth’s management think they can make this acquisition a value-increasing acquisition?

4. How do they think they can add value to both companies (or the merged company) after the acquisition?
