Background : Globalisation has led company to think globally and act locally. Such a change in the business world have made emerge the need to find partner around the world, and even to merge with complementary companies in order to sustain the corporate strategic advantage and to create value.

Purpose : The objective of this paper is to integrate major Merger & Acquisitions theories in order to establish a warning model pointing out the main pitfalls changing promising motivations into failed implementation in the process of Merger & Acquisition. Such a model will aim at preventing managers engaged in a transnational horizontal merger from the potential hazards leading to value destruction.

Delimitations : We choose to focus on the transnational merger because it should play with different national management and with the consequent variance in cultural distance ; the human and social context appears more clearly as fundamentally variable when a merger involves different sensibilities.

Results : After having integrated the main theoretical finding into a holistic framework which enabled us to shape a warning model we tested successfully in case of Pharmacia-Upjohn merger, which aims at analysing the general risks of one strategic merger or/and the following implementation process.

Mergers and acquisitions are a common form of inorganic growth for many companies; however, the failure rate of those activities remains high with IS&T integration noted as one of the causes of failure. The purpose of this narrative inquiry study was to explore the experience of the IS&T leaders during an M&A IS&T integration to understand how to reduce future failures. Interviews were conducted with eight IS&T leaders who have been involved with M&A IS&T integrations at technology companies. Seven themes emerged from the data analysis of the transcribed interviews. The themes resulting from the study are: incomplete or incorrect technology integration and technology architecture, identification and adherence to technology standards, employee uncertainties and conflict caused as a result of the M&A, a lack of agreement on the M&A strategy across leadership, identification of the end state goals of the IS&T integration, development and consistent use of an M&A IS&T integration process playbook, and communication process across leadership and employees. The recommendations from the findings for IS&T leadership provide three areas of focus. First, the findings reflect the issues impacting M&A IS&T integration failures. Second, the rich experiences of the participants provide leadership with recommendations on how leaders can prepare for M&A integrations to reduce the potential for failures. Third, the findings provide recommendations on performing an M&A IS&T integration resulting in a reduction of failures including gaining an understanding of previous failures, preparing for, planning, and executing an M&A integration.

As a result of the impressive wave of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in recent years, operations that were traditionally considered to be extraordinary have become common business development options. M&As have produced mixed results for their stakeholders, which resulted in extensive economics debate, albeit without a systemic vision. As a result, the M&A literature has not yet developed a paradigm and the purpose of this paper is to present a review of the existing literature.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors carried out a review of literature on M&As in technology‐driven sectors.

The critical examination of the innovation and value creation processes in M&As in hightech industry provides new insights for incumbent executives and can better plan and implement M&As deals.

Originality/value

Since 1990 there has been a major expansion of M&As in high‐tech sectors, many involving the acquisition of small and young start‐ups. To address this important topic the authors present here a review of literature on M&As in technology‐driven sectors.

THESIS -MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS FINAL TEXT

This research study aimed at evaluating the short term abnormal returns earned by the acquiring company’s shareholders during the announcement (shareholder approval) of mergers and acquisitions. The study covered the period 2008 – 2012 and 2011 to 2012 for the accounting study and event study respectively- in the Zambian context. It takes into account the event in which Arcades Development Pty merged and got acquired by Farmers House Plc. There is no consensus in the abnormal returns earned by the acquiring company’s shareholders and empirical evidence provides mixed outcomes. Hence, the main aim of this study was to evaluate the abnormal returns that were earned by the shareholders. The accounting study and a standard Event Study Methodology were used to provide a descriptive and empirical analysis in terms of profitability and abnormal returns respectively. Financial ratios were used for the accounting study while abnormal returns were used for the event study. A non-standardized parametric sign test was also employed to test the hypothesis of the study. The results for both the accounting study and the event study indicated that the merger and acquisition announcement enhanced the value of the shareholders. The accounting study revealed that the profitability was quite low. The evaluation of the event study methodology revealed mixed results during the event period. Most of the abnormal returns were positive with a 0.11 percent abnormal return on the event date. Subsequently, the non-standardized parametric sign test revealed all the abnormal returns were not statistically significant at 5% significance level. The stock market efficiency was not tested has it was assumed to be efficient. The study concluded that shareholders gained an insignificant abnormal return on the event date. In doing so, the study recommended that with their stock brokers and investment bankers, REIZ Plc and other companies should make a concerted effort to evaluate the short term effects of the company’s stock price so as to yield significant abnormal returns during a given company event. Companies should also conduct a financial review and a pro forma analysis of the company to be acquired.

This paper has two objectives: first, it examines the financial performance of twenty UK based acquiring companies over the period of five years (2009-2013) using financial ratios of Liquidity, Profitability and Solvency in order to empirically determine whether there is any significant financial performance changes in the operation of the underlying companies as a result of acquisitions. Both average ratio and paired t-test analysis have been conducted. The analysis concludes that none of the ratios proved statistical significance which shows that the underlying acquisitions did not influence changes in the financial performance of the acquiring companies. The paper also examines whether shareholders make short-term gain while opting for acquisitions by analyzing stocks return over 58 days window period i.e. 29 days prior to acquisition announcement and 29 days after acquisition announcement by applying CAPM model and AAR and CAAR analysis. The analysis concludes that none of the results show statistical significance which further asserts that UK shareholders do not make gain in the short-term as a result of the acquisition activities they have undertaken.

Abstract: This study compared shareholders wealth in pre and post mergers era using a selected insurance company in Nigeria as a case study. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, historical data was generated from 2001 to 2012 periods from the financial statement of AIICO Insurance Plc. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics specifically line graph was used to determine trend in insurance company’s profit and t- test was used to determine the significant difference in shareholders wealth in pre and post mergers and acquisitions era This study found that there was an increase in the profit of insurance company and an insignificantly decreased in ROCE, DPS, EPS, NPM after the mergers and acquisitions exercise. Therefore the study concluded that mergers and acquisitions lead to increase in profit of insurance companies and decrease in returns to shareholders. This study recommended among others that even though mergers and acquisitions boost profit, evidence shows that the wealth of shareholders declined insignificantly after the mergers and acquisitions exercise. Therefore, shareholders should not only look at the returns on their funds, but also bother about the safety and protection of their funds. Finally, regulatory bodies like Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and National Insurance Commission (NICOM) should ensure that the insurance companies do not make their shareholders worse- off than they were before the mergers and acquisitions exercise through effective monitoring.

The existing literature on M&A has identified a number of factors, which are likely to affect the future performance of the acquiring firm. However, no study was found on the relationship between the long-term effects of M&A and the state of economic development of the region in which the transaction is taking place. This dissertation examines this issue, based on the example of Poland. It finds that the nature of Polish economy and the capital market, typical for a transition economy, leads to superior long-run post-acquisition performance of acquiring firms.

In the wake of the largest M&A wave in history, it is appropriate to assess the evidence on the profitability of this activity. One popular view is that merger activity is highly unprofitable. Does research sustain this view? This paper reflects on what it means for M&A to "pay" and summarizes the evidence from 130 studies from 1971 to 2001.
