Sprint And T-Mobile: How Corporate Mergers Work

When Sprint CEO Dan Hesse appeared on a recent episode, he didn’t say much about the anticipated merger of his company with T-Mobile. Since then, talk of a merger between the third and fourth largest US wireless companies hasn't diminished. And one of the companies is based right in our backyard.

On Tuesday's Up to Date we explore the process of corporate mergers and what this one might mean for Sprint's Overland Park campus.

Guests:

  • Malika Simmons teaches Securities Relations at UMKC and works closely with the Bloch School Institute of Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
  • Dr. Nathan Mauck is an assistant professor of finance at UMKC.
