Borders & Barnes and Noble, Inc. Pros: Both Borders and B & N began as college booksellers, as they have grown, the markets that they have chosen to enter have essentially wiped out the competition. Now that both are at the top in their market, they have to look to each other, Borders is currently in financial trouble, and B & N recently laid off 100 corporate execs hinting that B & N is not as stable as it should be. On their way to the top Borders and B & N made choices that have separated the paths but the goal for both has been the same. Borders is only a bookseller, B & N has diversified and is both a publisher & bookseller now. Both are fortune 500 companies,and the information is easily accessible. Cons://
