Abstract:
PurposeThe purpose of the current study was first to identify the motives for mergers, and second to examine the effect of mergers on the systematic risk of bidder firms in the airline industry.Design/methodology/approachTo evaluate the effect of mergers in the systematic risk, two different market models are estimated for each company in the sample, one with pre‐merger data and one with post‐merger data. Then the results obtained from the two data sets are compared so as to identify possible differences.FindingsThe study has identified three diving motives behind the merges, namely cost efficiency, economies of scale, and market power. All of these motives are expected to affect the new firm's earnings stream and in turn affect its systematic risk. With the use of the market model the individual merger results are mixed and in line with the relevant literature. Nonetheless, the average results showed a decrease in the post‐merger systematic risk.Research limitations/implicationsA reduced post‐merger systematic risk indicates a success in achieving management objectives. Mergers can generate synergetic gains from increasing cost efficiencies and/or scale economies and can also increase shareholders value through the reduction in the new firm's cost of capital. However, to have a more valid perspective a larger number of mergers should be included in the sample together with alternative calculation of systematic risk to test the robustness of the results.Originality/valueTaking into account the current economic hardship this paper addresses the issue of shareholders wealth maximization through mergers.

Abstract:
The nature of post-merger technological progress outcomes is unclear, with theoretical and empirical literature being inconclusive and equivocal. We contend that merger motives materially drive post-merger outcomes and that post-merger outcomes vary significantly because merger motives vary. Hence, assessments of post-merger outcomes should take into account such motives, by the use of suitable statistical constructs. Our retrospective study has empirically assessed post-merger technology deployment patterns in the US telecommunications industry over a considerable recent historical period of major institutional changes. The events have provided information enabling us to conduct a detailed evaluation of the relative outcomes of differently motivated mergers under clean natural experiment conditions. Mergers have been classified as those undertaken for consolidation, financial, and market exploitation reasons. We have found consolidation and market exploitation motivated mergers to have had a positive impact, resulting in materially greater technology deployment outcomes for firms experiencing these mergers. The largest category of mergers that the firms have engaged in have been of the liquidity-seeking type, and such liquidity-seeking mergers have resulted in materially lower levels of technology deployment outcomes. On balance, we unequivocally conclude that negative lower technology deployment outcomes have outweighed the positive higher technology deployment outcomes. Such results should meaningfully influence agencies’ approaches in deciding whether or not to permit important sector mergers under review.

Abstract:
One of the motives for mergers and acquisitions is the synergy effect, which can take several forms. This paper tries to find out whether mergers implemented at the Czech market bring positive or negative synergies. The basis of our investigation is the database of the companies that implemented a merger within 2001–2009; out of these, the companies that published their financial statements in a digitalized form were selected. We monitored the development of six indicators characterizing the economic status of a company. The values of these indicators were compared for all participating companies before the merger and for the successor company three years after the merger. The hypotheses were formulated so that they expressed an expectation of a positive synergy brought about by mergers. However, hypothesis testing has not provided a clear result. A positive effect of a merger on the key indicator of net assets, whose growth means an increase in the accounting value of the company after the merger, has been proved for small and medium-sized companies only. The effect of mergers on the increase in indicators has been confirmed for retained earnings from past years and personal costs. Further research will concentrate on the relations between the indicators with the aim to create an integral indicator for the economic success of mergers.

<p>This paper attempts to identify the motives of mergers and acquisitions in the Nepalese financial sector.Questionnaire survey method is used to obtain the views of randomly selected 122 bankers of 21 post-merged financial institutions.A two-stage multivariate procedure is used to identify the important factors that drive the merger of financial institutions.In the first stage, an exploratory factor analysis is performed using ten statements that were put in the Likert scale in the questionnaire. In the second stage, important motives of mergers are determined by conducting an ordinary least squares regression using the factors extracted from factor analysis. It checks the internal consistency and reliability of the data using the Cronbach’s Alpha. The paper concludes hat the three most important motives for mergers of Nepalese financial institutions are: (i)meeting the regulatory requirement of paid up capital, (ii) realization of economies of scale and scope, and (iii) generation of efficiencies due to synergistic gains.</p><p> <strong><em>Economic Literature</em></strong><em>, </em>Vol. XIII August 2016, page: 9-18</p><p> </p>

Abstract:
There is an assumption that, when merger and acquisition takes place, two companies join together will have greater value than the companies functioning alone, ie., to create synergy. Merger and acquisition among the companies are gaining its momentum, due to the enhanced competition among the corporates in domestic and the global market. This paper discusses about merger and acquisition and the motives behind it. Some mergers and acquisitions are unsuccessful due to some factors like financial, marketing and operational issues. Human resource problems in the merged companies also resulted in the failure of the mergers and acquisitions. So, this article proposes to discuss about HR issues at each phase of merger and acquisition, strategies to overcome the issues were also discussed.

Abstract:
Firms engage in mergers for many reasons, some of which create value for both the firm’s shareholders and society, some that create value only for the firm’s shareholders, and some that fail even to do that. A considerable body of research concludes that most mergers do not create value for anyone, except perhaps the investment bankers who negotiated the deal. For a merger to create value, it will usually be necessary that one or both parties is below minimum efficient scale or has valuable underutilized assets. Furthermore, unless heavy coordination and long-term commitment are required, many sources of value from mergers can be achieved through collaboration agreements or other contracts, with less risk to the firms and to economic efficiency. This article outlines the major sources of potential value in mergers, and indicators that can give us insight into a merger’s true motives and its likelihood of creating value.

Abstract:
The Indian industry has seen a phenomenal consolidation through a spate of mergers and takeovers during the last decade. The mutual fund industry in India is no exception. It therefore becomes very important to understand the motives of mergers and takeovers in the Indian mutual fund industry. However, there is a significant difference between a corporate merger and the merger of a mutual fund. The present study uses various motives (variables) of corporate mergers and takeovers that fit in case of motives for mergers and takeovers of mutual fund schemes. As far as India is concerned, this is the first study of its kind; even in the international arena, limited research is available in this area. A two-stage multivariate procedure is used to identify the important factors that drive the merger of a mutual fund scheme from the viewpoint of an acquirer. The present study conducts a survey of 65 fund managers through a questionnaire containing fifteen statements to examine the motives behind the mergers and takeovers of mutual fund schemes. It checks the internal consistency and the reliability of the data using the Cronbach's Alpha. It performs an exploratory factor analysis using the fifteen statements in the questionnaire as different variables. Finally, it examines the important motives by conducting an ordinary least squares regression using the factors extracted from factor analysis. The results reveal the following: The factor analysis produces six broad factors, viz., attractive price, fund governance, expansion of marketing and management capabilities, expansion of asset size, benefits of diversification, and increase in the market share. These six factors are then subjected to multiple regression with increase in the market share as the dependent variable. The regression shows that three out of the five factors tested are significant. The findings of the study suggest that expansion of marketing and management capabilities, expansion of asset size, and benefits of diversification are the three most important motives behind mergers and takeovers of mutual fund schemes in India. The study is valuable to the financial economists, asset management companies, fund managers, unit holders, and the regulators in order to understand the important factors that influence mergers and takeovers of mutual fund schemes in India and their implications in order to make regulations for the mutual fund industry.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to address two research questions. First: what causes an small and medium enterprises (SME) to engage in a merger with a multinational group and thereby change its relationships and to start functioning in a hierarchical structure which may be viewed as being the integration of a weaker entity by a stronger and bigger one? And second: what causes the successful continuation of a cross-border merger project from the perspective of an SME? Design/methodology/approach – The concept of the network position is adopted to undertake a longitudinal study of an IT company from Poland. Findings – From the perspective of the SME, its own perceived important network position resulting from the resources it possesses, the ability to decide how they are utilised, as well as relationships strongly supported by trust and a good atmosphere are key motives and success factors for the merger. Originality/value – By adapting the IMP research perspective and the concept of network position to the analysis of mergers the additional aspects of the merger process which are usually not raised in relevant traditional mergers and acquisitions literature are revealed. A merger is not just the sourcing of resources, but also interdependencies and taking joint decisions with regard to them; not just economic aspects, but also social aspects of relationships (trust and atmosphere); not just the sharing of resources between merged entities, but also the constant influence of other relationships and interactions on these resources.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the motivation and post-merger operating performance (OP) of European utility sectors following mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Design/methodology/approach Motives behind M&A are examined by looking into the relationships between total gains, target gains and acquirer gains. Post-merger OP is measured by comparing the sample of European utilities with a matched portfolio based on size and market to book ratio with respect to five accounting indicators: growth in turnover, growth in earnings before interest and tax, return on assets, net profit margin and growth in fixed assets. Findings Synergy is the primary motive for M&A in the European utility firms. This study also found that post-merger OP is negative and significant across all the five accounting indicators matched by size, and market to book ratio suggesting that utility mergers underperform in the long term. The findings suggest that gains accruing to utilities involved in acquisitions are short term in nature. Practical implications Negative post-merger OP bears important policy implications as in future antitrust/competition authorities should be more vigilant before approving utility mergers. Originality/value Public utilities possess several characteristics that are different from industrial firms and therefore need to be examined separately. Empirical literature on M&A is very limited on utilities. This study has addressed this gap by examining the motivation and post-merger OP of the European utility firms.

Abstract:
AbstractIn many OECD countries, healthcare sectors have become increasingly concentrated as a result of mergers. However, detailed empirical insight into why healthcare providers merge is lacking. Also, we know little about the influence of national healthcare policies on mergers. We fill this gap in the literature by conducting a survey study on mergers among 848 Dutch healthcare executives, of which 35% responded (resulting in a study sample of 239 executives). A total of 65% of the respondents was involved in at least one merger between 2005 and 2012. During this period, Dutch healthcare providers faced a number of policy changes, including increasing competition, more pressure from purchasers, growing financial risks, de-institutionalisation of long-term care and decentralisation of healthcare services to municipalities. Our empirical study shows that healthcare providers predominantly merge to improve the provision of healthcare services and to strengthen their market position. Also efficiency and financial reasons are important drivers of merger activity in healthcare. We find that motives for merger are related to changes in health policies, in particular to the increasing pressure from competitors, insurers and municipalities.

Abstract:
This thesis reviewed recent hospital mergers in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Reykjavik, Iceland, and describes, analyzes, compares, and assesses those mergers. The study focused on the underlying reasons for the mergers, examining both the methods used in the merging process and the merger outcomes. Background information includes organizational theory regarding mergers, hospitals as professional bureaucracies, organizational change and communication, and quality and efficiency in organizations. The study is based on secondary data derived mainly from official documents, evaluations, and research reports. While the study determined similar reasons—mainly economic—underpinning both mergers, the processes differed. The Swedish merger was much better prepared, more radical, and invested more time and money in its process compared to the Icelandic merger, which was less radical and characterized by decisions from the top. Interestingly, the Icelandic merger, which sought to curtail the growth of expenditures but did not demand savings, achieved outcomes that reflected its main goals. Conversely, the Swedish merger sought unrealistic savings in its goals and the savings demands made it impossible for the management team to gain other objectives of the merger, like better service, quality and more competent institution.

Abstract:
Merger and acquisition (M&A) strategies have been very popular for many years as a means to drive growth and strategic competitiveness. But the question is, what are the motives for M&A transactions? This research seeks to identify, analyse and understand the motivation for mergers and acquisitions in the South African construction industry for companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, to offer insights to managers concerned with acquisitive growth strategies. The research adopted a qualitative research method, using a thematic content analysis of secondary data obtained from the Competition Tribunal, annual reports and news reports. The findings were supported and rooted in the resource-based view theory of the firm, proving that construction companies undertake horizontal acquisitions to achieve synergies and efficiencies in production and for integration and complementarity of resources as well as a means to gain access to new markets. Vertical acquisitions are undertaken to expand or strengthen capacity, pursuit of growth, the attainment of market reach and market share as well as the desire to be more competitive in the market. Vertical acquisitions are also made for the purpose of improving synergies and efficiencies, as well as being able to offer or supply services along the entire value chain.

Abstract:
The overall objective of the study was to determine the financial characteristics of companies involved in merger activity. More specifically, the study aims to determine: (a) whether acquired companies possessed financial characteristics similar to previous failed companies (the 'failing-company' hypothesis); (b) whether acquiring companies possessed financial characteristics similar to previous failed companies and (c) the impact of acquisition on the post-acquisition performance of acquiring companies, and particularly to consider whether their performance differs according to the financial characteristics of the companies they acquired. A new "bankruptcy prediction" model, contemporary with the acquisition data, was derived, tested for robustness, and applied to samples of acquired and acquiring companies. An indirect test of the 'failing-company' hypothesis was carried out by comparison with the results obtained on application of the model to control groups of non-acquired and non-acquiring companies. The test indicated that a higher proportion of acquired companies possessed financial characteristics similar to failed companies than the control group of non-acquired companies. This evidence tends to support the 'failing-company' hypothesis as a motive for mergers for acquired companies. Conversely, there was no such evidence in support of the hypothesis for acquiring companies. The approach adopted also allowed the dichotomy of acquired companies (failing vs. non-failing) which made it possible to test for differential post-acquisition performance of the acquiring companies. In order to evaluate the post-acquisition performance of acquiring companies, three different measurement criteria were adopted. They were: (a) accounting-based profitability and gearing ratios (b) industry-standardardised profitability measure (Meeks (1977)) and (c) performance analysis-scores (PAS-score) (Taffler (1983)). The results indicated that the acquiring companies generally incurred a decline in their post-acquisition profitability measures, while they increased their gearing ratios. Generally, the group acquiring potentially failing companies exhibited 'superior' post-acquisition performance compared with the group acquiring "non-failing" companies. These findings support the managerial motives for mergers since there appears to be little evidence that mergers are undertaken to increase profitability as implied in neoclassical motives. They also suggest the possible need for a review of public policy towards mergers; perhaps mergers ought to be encouraged only if they prevent impending bankruptcy by the acquisition of failing companies.

Abstract:
Integration through strategy of mergers and acquisitions have become popular all over the world thanks to globalization, technological developments, liberalization, and saturated competitive business environment. On The Journal published on www.globusz.com, it has been announced that the number of M&A corporations has reached 5000 mergers, and the total value of the companies acquired is of about $1.7 trillion in 2000. In USA, it was the period where the most important and largest M&As were ever announced, it was the year where AOL and Time Warner were merged. Most of researches conducted on M&A activities have recognized that firms prefer to enlarge their activity by merging or acquiring new businesses rather than enlarging organically. However, in some cases, results collected are not the ones expected. IBM has made about 800 strategic alliances, Hewlet Packard about 300, and AT with T about 400. This proves that those alliances either with strategic suppliers, or with competitor or partners, they are an effective and a prompt access towards capital increase, talents discovery, effective distribution channels and manufacturing productive designs or operations. According to a study conducted by Coopers and Lybrand, companies that form strategic alliances grow 20% faster and gain 11% more in sales than those who choose to rely solely on their own expertise (Segil 1998). The study also identified that two thirds of middle level firms have entered some form of alliance: 37% with their customers; 35% with their suppliers; 15% with competitors. The gaining from M&As is said to be a means of protecting the market share and of expanding growth domestically and internationally, because it leads to more beneficial using of resources and assets, to more efficient managеmеnt, and to еcоnomies of scale, etc.  Thus, the question to raise is: do results of M&As create real value for the shareholders of acquirers?

Abstract:
This Master's thesis concerns cross-border mergers on the Czech market. The aim of the thesis is to identify their main trends. Though the theory of both cross-border and domestic mergers is mentioned, the emphasis is placed on the analytical part. The analysis is based on real life data of mergers which were realized from 2008 till 2015 and in which a Czech company took part. The research focuses on the development of quantity and type of cross-border mergers whose project was filed in the public register, quantity of finished mergers, number of participating companies and the country under whose legal system the participating companies operate, the position of Czech companies, ownership structure of participating companies, their legal form, reasons for realization of mergers, exchange ratio, decisive day assessment in relation with the balance sheet date and processing time of a cross-border merger.

In ASME 2015 34th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/omae2015-42301.

Abstract:
The effect of tandem spacing on the flow induced motions (FIM) of two circular cylinders with passive turbulence control is investigated using two-dimensional Unsteady Reynolds-Average Navier-Stokes equations with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model. Results are compared to experiments in the range of Reynolds number of 30,000<Re<100,000. The center-to-center spacing between the two cylinders is varied from 2 to 6 diameters. Simulation results predict well all ranges of FIM including VIV and galloping and match well with experimental measurements. For the upstream cylinder, the amplitude and frequency responses are not considerably influenced by the downstream cylinder when the spacing is greater than 2D. For the downstream cylinder, a rising amplitude trend in the VIV upper branch can be observed in all cases as is typical of flows in the TrSL3 regime. The galloping branch merges with the VIV upper branch for spacing greater than 3D. Vortex structures show significant variation in different flow regimes in accordance with experimental observations. High-resolution post-processing shows that the interaction between the wakes of cylinders result in various types of FIM.

Abstract:
Human reaching movement appears to consist of an initial ballistic segment that drives the hand toward the target, then a corrective segment that brings the hand into the target region. This article discusses how the motions produced by two different controllers, one guiding the ballistic portion and one directing the corrective potion, can be merged into a single smooth movement that is reminiscent of human reaching. Simulated movements based on the proposed methodology are shown to be consistent with human kinematic trajectories.

Abstract:
Clustering is inherently ill-posed: there often exist multiple valid clusterings of a single dataset, and without any additional information a clustering system has no way of knowing which clustering it should produce. This motivates the use of constraints in clustering, as they allow users to communicate their interests to the clustering system. Active constraint-based clustering algorithms select the most useful constraints to query, aiming to produce a good clustering using as few constraints as possible. We propose COBRA, an active method that first over-clusters the data by running K-means with a $K$ that is intended to be too large, and subsequently merges the resulting small clusters into larger ones based on pairwise constraints. In its merging step, COBRA is able to keep the number of pairwise queries low by maximally exploiting constraint transitivity and entailment. We experimentally show that COBRA outperforms the state of the art in terms of clustering quality and runtime, without requiring the number of clusters in advance.

Abstract:
This paper presents the design, fabrication and testing of a Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based positioning stage which is capable of generating translational motions along X, Y and Z axes, respectively. For this purpose, two existing 1 Degree of Freedom (DOF) in-plane positioning stages and one 1 DOF out-of-plane actuator are merged together for 3 DOF motions. For successful integration between three independent systems, a platform in the chosen 1 DOF in-plane stage is utilized to embed another system. For a successful combination between three independent systems, two nested structures are adapted as a serial kinematic mechanism. With the nested structures, one 1 DOF in-plane positioning stage is embedded into the other 1 DOF in-plane stage for in-plane translational motions along the X and the Y axes. And then, one 1 DOF out-of-plane actuator is embedded for the translational motion along the Z axis. The proposed 3 DOF system has demonstrated an ability to generate at least 20 μm along X, Y and Z axes, respectively. The cross talk between the three axes is also measured and is less than 4 percent of the intended displacement.

Abstract:
For the global performance analysis of a floater, the traditional semi-coupled method models mooring lines/risers as nonlinear massless springs and ignores 1) the inertial effects from mooring lines/risers, 2) the current and wave load effects on mooring lines/risers, and 3) the dynamic interaction between mooring lines/risers and the floater. However, these effects are deemed critical for deepwater and ultra deepwater floating structures as they may have a significant impact on the floaters’ motions and mooring line/riser tensions. This paper presents the development and verification of a time-domain nonlinear coupled analysis tool, MLTSIM-ROD, which is an integration of a recently developed 3D rod dynamic program, ROD3D, with the well-calibrated floater global performance analysis program, MULTISIM (Ref [9]). The ROD3D was developed based on a nonlinear finite element method and merged with MULTISIM by matching the forces and displacements of mooring lines/risers with the floater at their connections. MLTSIM-ROD can thus predict the floater’s large displacement/rotation motions and mooring line/riser tensions including all the coupled effects between the floater and mooring lines/risers. In this paper, global performance predictions for a SPAR in the Gulf of Mexico in deepwater were carried out using MLTSIM-ROD. The results were then verified with those from other coupled analysis programs. The paper also presents the results of motions and mooring line/riser tensions of the SPAR using both the coupled and semi-coupled methods. The results from the coupled and semi-coupled analyses indicate that the floater’s motions and mooring line/riser tensions could be significantly influenced by the dynamic interactions between the floater and mooring lines/risers. Hence, the coupled method needs to be considered for deepwater floating structures.

Abstract:
The paper addresses control of variable mass and configuration mechanical systems subjected to holonomic or nonholonomic constraints, which are imposed due to systems desired performance, tracking specified motions or other control needs. The control design is model-based and an analytical dynamics modeling framework underlying controller design is presented. The framework novelty is that constraints, including nonholonomic ones and these on variable mass, can be merged into variable mass system dynamics and final motion equations are free of the constraint reaction forces so they can be used directly to control design. Many mechanical systems change their mass or configuration when they move, e.g. inertia-based propelled underwater vehicles, mobile robots and manipulators transporting loads or space vehicles flying their space missions. The dynamics modeling framework presented in the paper can be applied to all variable mass system examples mentioned above. An underwater inertia-based propelled vehicle model dynamics and control performance illustrate the theoretical development presented in the paper. The paper contribution is two folded. It presents a unified approach to constrained variable mass or configuration systems modeling and introduces analytical dynamics methods to the nonlinear control domain.
