QUESTIONS: 

1. How is Hewlett-Packard trying to divide itself into two? Along which lines will the corporate units be split up? What will each of the two new corporate entities sell?

2. In terms of strategy formulation, what is the rationale for the split-up? How convincing does the case seem to be? How much of a panacea can this demerger be?

3. In terms of strategy implementation, is the case compelling enough, in your opinion, to justify all the trauma of splitting up of the corporation into two parts? What are some of the biggest downsides and disadvantages of the demerger? How easily can they be compensated for and outweighed by the advantages of the demerger?
