Hewlett-Packard in talks to buy tech unit for $18B
Article Abstract:
Hewlett-Packard announced that it is negotiating to acquire the technology consulting practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers for $18 billion in cash and stock. Should it push through, it would establish H-P as a leading player in the technology consulting industry. The deal would benefit PricewaterhouseCoopers since the SEC has been urging accounting firms to divest businesses that could lead to conflicts of interest.
