Microage Case Study
In 2000 MicroAge was delisted from the NASDAQ, trading over-the-counter as MICAQ. In 2001 it filed for bankruptcy, terminated all business and liquidated all remaining assets to pay creditors.
One of the founders, Jeffrey D. McKeever, subsequently bought the rights to the name "MicroAge" and uses this as a "doing business as" name for Frontier Technology LLC. The new company organized by McKeever has a different ownership structure and legal company name from the original MicroAge.
MicroAge is currently headquartered in Tempe, Arizona and is one of the prominent IT reselling companies in the industry. With the slogan, "The IT Solutions Experts" MicroAge plays off their history in the tech world to provide companies with the right tech solutions and products to fit their various needs.

MicroAge Inc. announced this morning that it has moved into the next phase of its e-business services transformation. The company, which filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code last week, told the media earlier this month that it planned to transform itself more into a B2B technology solution provider.
Restructuring began in 1998.

Bankruptcy under chapter 11
The term refers to a debtor that keeps possession and control of its assets while undergoing a reorganization under chapter 11, without the appointment of a case trustee. A debtor will remain a debtor in possession until the debtor's plan of reorganization is confirmed, the debtor's case is dismissed or converted to chapter 7, or a chapter 11 trustee is appointed. The appointment or election of a trustee occurs only in a small number of cases. Generally, the debtor, as "debtor in possession," operates the business and performs many of the functions that a trustee performs in cases under other chapters. 11 U.S.C. § 1107(a).s

PROBLEMS FACED: 1. Time frame was too less to restructure them self virtually 2. To form a virtual infrastructure – difficult process 3. Costs required to set

    Facts of the Case: Micro Enhancement International (MEI) was a software development company that was on the about to have an IPO. They hired Coopers and Lybrand as the auditor. The IPO for MEI was delayed because Coopers and Lybrand were resisting some of MEI’s recognized revenue and were threating to add a “going concern” to the audit. In the end Coopers and Lybrand allowed MEI to recognize the revenue and took away the “going concern” qualification. By the time the issue was settled MEI had lost the underwriter for the IPO and then went bankrupt shortly after. MEI sued Coopers and Lybrand for multiple things, but then wanted to add a breach of fiduciary duty. MEI’s CEO Staples said that, “he trusted Coopers and that Coopers had agreed to do the audit to do the Audit and to serve as MEI’s business advisor…” The judge denied this request and MEI appealed.…

    The study of microevolution was tested in this laboratory experiment through the examination, observation, and analysis of various population conditions, some under the Hardy-Weinberg Theory of Genetic Equilibrium, which would advance the student scientists ' understanding of both microevolution and the mathematical aspects of microevolution known as population genetics. The students first predicted the result of each of the 6 cases. The data was found using a program called PopCycle (Herron 2002), which picked genotypes randomly, and showed the results after particular conditions were entered. Students took these numbers and visually displayed them in charts. They configured the predicted amount of adults for each genotype by using the Hardy-Weinberg mathematical equation p2 + 2pq + q2 to figure out the expected adults for the genotypes AA, Aa, and aa. The students also produced graphs showing allelic frequencies and genotype frequencies. They concluded that their original hypotheses were indeed correct. Therefore, there was…

    Once upon a time, there was a goddess named Jasmine. She rose from the lands of Magic City. She was the main god. She ran Magic City. She had two children and a magical Lady Bug that could talk. Even though Jasmine looked like the modern everyday woman, she wasn’t. She had powers that she passed down to her children Jaidyn and Julanii. Julanii was only a baby. But Jaidyn was a teenager, 16 to be exact. The family lived in Magic City for years. But Jasmine thought it was time for them to go out in the “real” world. So they moved to Maryland. Jaidyn was enrolled into Fairmont Heights High School. But there was a specific reason why Jasmine wanted to move. She wanted to send Jaidyn on a quest of helping and saving people in any kind of danger. She wanted to test her superhero qualities. Jaidyn had many of them. She had the ability to fly, read people’s minds, invisibility, and she had super speed. Her first day of school went by, and she actually made a lot of new friends. As weeks went by Jaidyn began to love her new life. Until one day, her superhero abilities were tested. She was walking home after school. She walked passed an alley to get to her house. When suddenly she heard a female’s scream and a man yelled “Give me the money!” Jaidyn knew what she had to do, she had to help her. But she didn’t want to be seen. All she had to protect her identity was a ski mask in her book bag. Slowly she put it on and flew to the scene. The man released the woman from his arms and she ran out of the alley. Jaidyn fought off the criminal, tied him up, and called the cops. When the police arrived they praised Jaidyn for her good work and took the man too jail. Jaidyn was the talk of the town since that day. But no one really knew who she was. All they saw her as was a girl in a ski mask. She continued to keep her identity as a secret. When Jaidyn and her family were watching the news one day, she saw that they were talking about “The girl in the ski mask”. It’s not much she…
