I work for Tyco and ten years ago they decided the way to grow the business was to buy every other business they could get their hands on before promptly letting them decline!

If I am not mistaken they bought the business I worked back in the 80s and 90s (Raychem Corp out of Menlo Park, CA) for and did exactly that.

Yep, I know Raychem very well, Menlo Park still exists (I think) but many companies were bought and dropped straight away.  The CEO of the time (L.Dennis Kozlowski) and his finance side-kick (Mark Scwartz) are still in prison for various fraud offenses.
