Li, Lu. "The impact of pre-merger disclosure and acquisition experience on mergers and acquisitions." Thesis, Durham University, 2018. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/12902/.

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the effect of factors in the pre-acquisition planning stage on M&A outcomes. With three empirical chapters, the main findings provide compelling evidence that pre-acquisition factors are related to M&A fundamentals such as the motivation and incentives to carry out M&A transaction, and play significant roles in deal’s negotiation and post-acquisition integration. The first empirical chapter of this thesis investigates whether the voluntary disclosure at pre-acquisition issuance activities, i.e. the intended ‘use of proceeds’, has influence on subsequent M&A outcomes.

This thesis develops a composite index to evaluate takeover efficiency and deal quality, and then examines the impact of social connection on takeover process and acquisition performance with U.S mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Initially, Chapter 2 constructs a composite indicator (“M&A index”) to measure takeover efficiency and evaluate the overall deal quality based on stochastic frontier analysis. The M&A index is computed for each takeover transaction and standardised between 0 and 1. Deals with a higher M&A index imply higher takeover efficiency. The empirical results show that the M&A in

Abstract:

Abstract The phenomenon of mergers and acquisitions has developed to be a highly popular form of corporate development to create growth and diversity. The increase in M&A activity has given rise to the growth of academic research on this topic, and the rapidly evolving nature of M&A also requires constant updating in the research field. The study of mergers and acquisitions represents a broad interdisciplinary field of research. Over the past decades, many firms have been implementing strategic mergers and acquisitions to achieve inorganic growth or to boost the corporate overall performance.

Abstract:

This master thesis investigates how an infrastructure for cultural adoption in a merger and acquisition integration could be designed. This research is valuable since prior research indicate that culture plays an important role in the success of integrating an acquired firm into the acquirer’s organization. However, there has been no research conducted in the field of how the culture should be regarded for.

Abstract:

This thesis consists of three essays that examine the impact of mergers and acquisitions on supply chain performance. In the first essay, we analytically study the effects of upstream and downstream mergers on suppliers, retailers and consumers, in an oligopolistic market. We start with a benchmark case where mergers do not generate any synergy. By assuming that firms compete in Bertrand or Cournot fashion, we compare the effects of an upstream merger with a downstream one. We find that upstream (respectively, downstream) mergers always benefit the merging firms, while adversely affecting thei

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with acquisition activity in the UK and, specifically the prediction of takeovers. This is an important area for research for three reasons. Firstly, acquisition activity involves a small number of companies but creates very large sums of money. Secondly, acquisition activity can alter the composition of a company or an entire industry very rapidly making it a valuable tool for business. Lastly, there are many different topics within this field, allowing for a wealth of empirical analysis. A considerable amount of early research was limited to observation leaving some

Abstract:

<p>Background: The most common reason to mergers and acquisitions is to generate synergies. Synergies emerge when two collaborating companies show a better result together than they would have done separately. Even though mergers and acquisitions have taken place since the beginning of the 17th century many of them still fail to succeed. There are many reasons why. Despite the fact that the reasons of failure have been known for a long time, new waves of mergers and acquisitions still appear. </p><p>Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to contribute with knowledge about what should be given p

Abstract:

The aim of the thesis is to identify categories and patterns of how customers impact and are impacted by an M&A.

This thesis researches M&As from M&A parties’ and customers’ perspectives. It categorises and connects M&A parties’ activities related to expectations and activities of customers, with customers’ activities at the acqui

In the last decade, the number of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities by emerging market firms has rapidly increased to exploit growing markets at home and abroad.

This thesis consists of four essays or chapters that investigate acquisitions made by UK firms. The main focus of the research is the acquirers’ abnormal returns that are associated with the announcement of domestic and cross-border acquisitions. The research provides empirical evidence on some of the significant issues that have been raised in the literature, particularly focusing on measuring operating performance for domestic and cross-border acquisitions over the long-term.

Abstract:

<p>Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the corporate world are achieving increasing importance and attention especially in the advent of intense globalization. This is evident from the magnitude and growth of deal values and resultant ‘mega-mergers’ transacted in recent times. As expert advisory are sought in M&A activities to facilitate the undertaking and maximise the value of the transaction, advisory firms begin to play a more significant and at the same time lucrative role in M&A activities, to the extent of determining the outcome of such projects. Being an area of limited research, it is

Abstract:

Today’s fast-paced and global market has added pressure on firm’s to constantly strengthen their competitive advantage. Over the last couple of years, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have become an increasingly used strategy for firms to acquire resources that cannot be developed internally. However, M&As often fail to achieve the initial purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate two research questions; RQ1: What are the effects on employees in a newly created multicultural team that is the outcome of a merger between two firms? and RQ2: How can managers manage these effects

Abstract:

Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) are public shell entities uniquely constructed to acquire one or more privately held businesses. The transaction's structural characteristics put significant pressure on the management team's capabilities to find a suitable company to acquire within the predetermined time frame. This thesis investigates whether management team characteristics, such as operating experience and gender diversity, increases the likelihood of success in identifying the target company and conducting the merger. Although not statistically significant, the results indicate

Abstract:

In the first chapter of this dissertation, I hypothesize that several non-tax-driven benefits of debt induce REITs managers to issue debt despite no apparent tax-driven benefit. Several methodologies and tests applied in capital structure literature are introduced to the literature of REITs capital structure. First, I investigate how the market prices leverage in absence of tax-deductibility benefit. Then, I diagnose the relative importance of several non-tax-driven benefits of leverage in deriving the capital structure decisions of REITs. Third, I conduct a thought investment experiment with

Abstract:

In past decades, the expectation of synergy has fueled many thousands of mergers and acquisitions. Meanwhile, economists and analysts have reported a large proportion of merger failures. This apparent contradiction has provided researchers with a rich source of studies. One of the likely causes of a merger failure is the “people factor”. Revolving around the axis of mergers and acquisitions, the peoples affected are, on the one side, the stockholders, top management, and economists who “talk the project” and tend to have a positive attitude and on the other side, the people who “walk the proje

Abstract:

Post-crisis market realities in Greece are expected to lead to increased M&A activity in the coming years, little evidence is provided in the academic literature on Greek M&A post-acquisition performance and its driving factors. The overall aim of this thesis is to complement and enhance the existing M&A literature by examining the impact of two post-acquisition actions, of asset divestiture and resource redeployment on the long-term performance of Greek M&A deals over the period 2005-2009. The conceptual framework of this thesis draws on the strategic management perspective. Using the cost ef
