Topic: Acquiring Asia Entertainment
Background: Last March, readers of an Asia-Pacific business magazine, Investor International, were given information about an Australian company, the Decker Group.
COMPANY PROFILE | Company: Decker Group Located: Sydney, Australia Workforce: 35,000 Turnover: A$4.6bn |
Main activities | Reasons for Decker’s acquisition |
Decker is a diversified media group with interests in broadcasting, entertainment and Internet services. | 1 Decker will expand its presence in a dynamic new market, China. 2 It will use Asia Entertainment for further expansion into Asian markets such as Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam. 3 Asia Entertainment has a growing online presence through its successful DVD viewing service |
Recent developments | Comment |
Decker has recently merged with a Hong Kong-based media company, Asia Entertainment. In a press release, the deal was described as a merger, but Decker is the real decision maker. | Asia Entertainment seems to be a good fit with the Decker Group. However, there may be problems when a different style of management, the ‘Australian way of doing things’, is introduced into the Asian company. The new Chairman and Chief Executive will be Scott Henderson. A graduate from the Harvard School of Business, Scott Henderson has a reputation for being a strong leader who is not afraid to take difficult decisions. He is a fluent speaker of Mandarin Chinese. |
Task1: Listening
Scott Henderson, the NEW Chief Executive, gave an interview to a Hong Kong TV business channel. He was asked about the recent acquisition of Asian Entertainment. Listen and note what he says.
