ABSTRACT

Marcus Steinberg was a self-made man, and he had built his business on his ability to select a strong team. As he walked into the executive meeting room, he wished that events had not moved quite so quickly, but he would be a fool not to take advantage of the current state of the economy. He had snapped up the PhoneMob, a promising startup with a cash flow problem and a serious need to automate its working methods. Their business, providing a complete facilities management package to mobile phone owners, was close enough in concept to his current camera rescue empire for there to be some real opportunities for synergy, but PhoneMob would need sorting out first. Still, this acquisition would give him the platform he needed to make a real impact as the recovery kicked in.
