Abstract
After resigning as Chairman and CEO of Fox Inc, Barry Diller started establishing his own empire of interactive commerce companies. Under the banner of InterActiveCorp (IAC), Diller acquired some highly profitable on-line services like Expedia.com, Ticketmaster.com and Lendingtree.com, among others. In less than a decade, Diller''s IAC transformed itself into one of the most prospective on-line companies in the world. With $3.3 billion in cash and marketable securities by the end of 2003, Diller had been looking to extend IAC''s line-up of operating businesses. This case study, while highlighting IAC''s success story, details the merits of well-timed strategic acquisitions in building a successful conglomerate.
