Talk:Tyco International

message: 1,000 acquisitions? Are you sure? Could you cite me to an authority for that? I'm the person who wrote in the "200 acquisitions" figure. I did so based on a statement on p. 72 of Roger Lowenstein's book, Origins of the Crash (2004). --Christofurio 00:27, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)
I see, i came across that info today when i was reading "Crafting and Executing strategy 14th edition" by Arthur A. Thompson Jr. page 252. The books ISBN is 0-07-288444-4 I also found it hard to believe, mainly because i feel books published by McGraw-Hill are terribly useless. I would however not object with reverting back to 200 companies, but be aware that someone felt that they have acquired 1000 companies and there may be truth in that  If you read this article, you will come across this paragraph "Dennis Kozlowski was an acquisition junkie. In the decade after he took over as chief executive, Tyco International spent tens of billions of dollars to buy nearly 1,000 businesses around the world. By 2001, Tyco was in fire alarms, medical products, waste-water treatment, and, well, you name it. Revenues soared from $5 billion in 1996 to $34 billion in 2001. But there was a problem: The acquisitions were masking tepid performance in the underlying businesses. Return on equity over the same period dropped to 16.3% from 17.4%. All of those deals, and the resulting mass of physical assets, had made Tyco a lesser company -- and that was before Kozlowski got caught shipping empty crates to New Hampshire." 
I think its disappointing that the Tyco page only talks about financial matters. I couldn't glean much from this article that gives these financial matters significance if the article doesn't discuss what Tyco does.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.75.116.120 (talk) 04:41, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Sensormatic]] 

message: A large fraction of the content in this article has confused this relatively tiny security systems company with the far larger divisions of Tyco Electronics. The Corporate parent renamed itself TE Connectivity in 2011 but not all divisions and subsidiaries were renamed simultaneously. For example, content in this article discussing Tyco Printed Circuits Group is related to the giant Tyco Electronics, not Tyco International PLC. If you're going to get your jollies throwing rocks at firms that do things that are nearly impossible to do without eventually screwing up, at least throw them through the right windows.
