There have been examples of larger companies buying smaller ones, and it being a POSITIVE thing.
The first example that comes to my mind (albeit in a different industry) is InBev purchasing Goose Island. The consensus at the time was that it would destroy Goose Island and their beers, but I think any beer geek would be hard pressed to say that at this point.
In fact, GI has been able to produce beers (and the number of beers) they never could have dreamed of before they were purchased.
