Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to show that information asymmetry plays a vital role in the post-M&A performance-time until deal completion nexus. The findings are that the due diligence hypothesis and the overdue hypothesis proposed and tested in Thompson and Kim (2020) are influenced by the information asymmetry of the target during the negotiation process. Thus, mergers that involve more opaque targets that take a shorter time to close perform better, whereas those that take too long to close experience poor post-M&A performance. Conversely, there is no such effect when the mergers involve targets that are transparent and not plagued with large information asymmetry problems. These results hold for the short-term supporting the evidence that information asymmetry problems are severe before the merger is consummated and become attenuated post-merger.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this article is to identify and determine various dimensions of deal characteristics affecting the post-acquisition performance of Indian target firms. Available researches have focussed on the stock market reaction as the indicator of target firm performance. Nonetheless, various determinants are found to affect the post-acquisition performance of target firms. Bearing that in mind, this article focusses on the significance of deal characteristics while assessing the performance of the Indian target firms post-acquisition. The article attempts to analyse the post-acquisition performance of target firms independent of the acquirer firm to get a more appropriate perception of their position. The change model, generalised method of moments (GMM) model and the regression model has been employed to assess the changes in operating performance, analyse the importance of financial variables in post-acquisition performance and study the impact of deal characteristics in the post-acquisition performance of the Indian target firms. The outcomes reveal that there has been a significant difference in the improvement of targets depending on whether it has been taken over by a domestic acquirer or inbound acquirer.

Full textAbstract:
Firm values change substantially between deal announcement and closing, risking renegotiation or termination. For deals that eventually close, does waiting longer to close benefit the acquirer post-M&A? We investigate whether the time that elapses until deal completion is an indicator of post-M&A performance and failure. We find that deals taking an optimum time to implement perform better, supporting the due diligence hypothesis, while taking too long to close is an indication of poor post-M&A performance and subsequent failure, supporting the overdue hypothesis.

Full textAbstract:
Using a sample of completed U.S. acquisition deals over the period 1984–2014, we find that acquirer organization capital as measured by capitalized selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses is associated with superior deal performance. We show that high organization-capital acquirers achieve significantly higher abnormal announcement period returns, and better post-merger operating and stock performance, than low organization-capital acquirers. Additional tests suggest a causal relation between acquirer organization capital and deal performance. We further show that post-merger, high organization-capital acquirers cut more on the cost of goods sold, invest more in SG&A expenses, and achieve greater asset turnover and innovative efficiency.

Full textAbstract:
Law firms provide extensive intermediation in corporate acquisitions, including negotiation, certification, and drafting of contracts and agreements. Using a broad sample of U.S. acquisition offers, we find that large-market-share law firms are regularly called upon to facilitate completion of large, legally-complex offers. Complex offers are often withdrawn but, controlling for complexity; large-share law firms are associated with enhanced deal completion. Further, we document that some law firms are consistently associated with deal completion over time, and that acquirers with good deal completion experience use fewer different law firms. Acquirers‟ risk-adjusted returns, though, are smaller around announcements of offers advised by large-share law firms. Post-offer long-run returns of the acquirers are also lower and often negative following offers advised by large-share law firms. We find no evidence that particular law firms are consistently associated over time with strong returns. Our conclusion is that large law firms enhance deal completion in difficult situations, consistent with the aims of acquirer management. However, we find no systematic evidence that these popular law firms act as “gatekeepers” in the sense of not wanting to be associated with value-destroying deals.

Full textAbstract:
We investigate the consequences of increased compensation disclosure transparency on the pay for chief executive officers (CEOs) in firms that are more prone to a misalignment between manager and shareholder interests. Prior research documents that acquiring CEOs’ pay is insensitive to poor post-deal performance after firms complete large acquisitions. Using the 2006 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) compensation disclosure regulation as our empirical setting, we find that this result disappears after firms begin to provide more transparent compensation disclosure. Our cross-sectional analyses show that acquiring firms with higher quality compensation disclosure exhibit greater CEO pay sensitivity to poor post-deal performance after 2006. Our findings indicate that increased compensation disclosure transparency helps strengthen the relation between CEO pay and poor performance in acquiring firms.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine minority squeeze-outs and their regulation in Germany, a country where majority shareholders have extensively used this tool since its introduction in 2002. Using unique hand-collected data, the authors carry out the first detailed analysis of the German squeeze-out offers from the announcement to the outcome of post-deal litigation, examining also the determinants of the decision to squeeze-out minority investors. Design/methodology/approach Using unique data on court rulings and compensations, the authors analyze a sample of 324 squeeze-outs of publicly listed companies from 2002 to 2011 to carry out the first detailed analysis of the squeeze-out procedure and the post-deal litigation. The authors employ the event study methodology to assess the stock market reaction around the announcement of the squeeze-out. Findings Large firms with foreign large shareholders are the most likely to be delisted. Positive stock price performance increases the likelihood of a squeeze-out, but operating performance has the opposite effect. Stock prices react positively to squeeze-out announcements, in particular when the squeeze-out does not follow a previous takeover offer. Post-deal litigation is widespread: nearly all squeeze-outs are legally challenged by minority shareholders. Additional cash compensation is larger in appraisal procedures, but actions of avoidance are completed in less time. Overall, the evidence suggests that starting post-deal litigation by challenging the cash compensation offered in a squeeze-out delivers high returns for minority investors. Research limitations/implications The lack of data concerning the identity of minority shareholders in firms undergoing a squeeze-out does not allow a proper investigation of the incentives of the different types of investors. Practical implications The paper provides evidence about the incentives of the different players in a squeeze-out offer. The findings of the paper could be helpful in assessing the impact of the squeeze-out rule. The results also contribute to the understanding of minority investors’ incentives to start post-deal litigation. Originality/value This paper provides new evidence about post-deal litigation, in particular how investors use the procedures that the system provides them to protect themselves against controlling shareholders. The paper examines all the phases of the squeeze-out procedure and challenges.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the role of diversity management on postmergers and acquisitions (M&A) performance. Building on prior literature, it investigates whether a firm ability to harmonize people with different backgrounds and to deal with uncertainty and dynamics in the diverse work environment will affect post-M&A performance either directly or through its interactions with acquirer-target characteristics.Design/methodology/approachThis paper used panel regression analysis on a sample of 218 M&As conducted by listed large US firms across industries.FindingsResults show that the diversity management of an acquiring firm positively influences post-M&A performance. This paper also finds support for diversity management having a more significant moderating role where merged firms have a bigger size difference and higher industry relatedness.Originality/valueThe primary contribution of this study is in testing and finding evidence to support the claim that diversity management is a useful factor in predicting post-M&A performance. The success of post-M&A integration should be considered alongside the extent of firm capabilities to manage internal diversity.

Full textAbstract:
Simon Goldhill's Reading Greek Tragedy is a welcome publication – not for its originality but because it makes available an important and eclectic body of critical approaches to Greek texts. Goldhill gives no quarter to the idea that the Greekless reader cannot deal with complex theoretical arguments. The (post-)structuralist revolution in modern thought, associated with Derrida, Foucault, and above all Barthes, mediated for the most part through classical scholars such as J-P. Vernant, Froma Zeitlin, and Charles Segal, has here found its way into a book targeted at the undergraduate market. I welcome Goldhill's book as one which demonstrates, without mystification, both the complexity of Greek tragedy, and the contemporary relevance of the questions which Greek tragedy poses. At the same time, as one who teaches students of Drama, I cannot but feel frustration.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the choice of boutique financial advisors in mergers and acquisitions, and the consequences of this choice on deal outcomes and post-acquisition performance. Boutique advisors often specialize in a particular industry and focus exclusively on providing advice in mergers and acquisitions. The results suggest that boutique financial advisors are preferred when the deal is considered complex and when information asymmetry is high. The study finds that the benefits of hiring a boutique advisor flow to both the acquirers and the target firms. Acquiring firms benefit in terms of improved post-merger performance, while target firms benefit in terms of higher completion of value-enhancing deals and positive cumulative abnormal returns. Overall, these results provide support for the growing popularity of boutique financial advisors in the Australian market. JEL classification: G24, G34

Apesar da já extensa pesquisa sobre as sinergias geradas e a performance pós-aquisição em atividades de M&A, não existem muitos estudos na literatura sobre as diferenças de performance entre indústrias e tipos de sinergia.
Este relatório, preparado em colaboração com a PricewaterhouseCoopers, durante um estágio curricular em Corporate Finance, no departamento de Fusões e Aquisições, tenta preencher esta lacuna existente na literatura e examinar assim três questões. Em primeiro lugar, perceber quais as indústrias que conseguem obter, de um modo geral, mais sinergias após uma aquisição. Em segundo lugar, são analisadas quais os tipos de sinergias que se destacam mais em cada indústria. E finalmente, em terceiro lugar, verificam-se quais as indústrias que têm o melhor desempenho em cada tipo de sinergia.
Deste modo, é apresentada uma nova abordagem na avaliação do desempenho das empresas, através da análise das medianas e taxas de crescimento do valor residual (diferença entre o valor real e o valor previsto). Usando indicadores contabilísticos pós-fusão como medidas de desempenho e proxies para sinergias operacionais, financeiras e fiscais, este ensaio conclui que a indústria de Transporte, Armazenagem e Serviços de Viagem é o setor, em geral, com o melhor desempenho, e que a eficiência fiscal é a sinergia com maior criação de valor entre os outros tipos de sinergias. Conclui-se também que nas sinergias operacionais de vendas e nas sinergias fiscais, o sector da construção apresenta-se como a indústria onde houve maior criação de valor e que nas sinergias financeiras, foi o setor de Serviços Imobiliários. Limitações sobre a dissertação e orientações para futuras pesquisas também são discutidas no final.Despite the extensive research about post-acquisition synergistic performance in M&A, there are not many studies about industry differences in each type of synergy. This report, prepared in collaboration with PricewaterhouseCoopers, during an internship in the Corporate Finance - M&A department, attempts to fill this gap in the literature and examine three issues. First it is examined which industries are more successful in M&A in general. Secondly, it is analysed which synergies standout the most inside an industry. And thirdly, it is studied which industries have the best performance in each type of synergy. It is also provided a new approach for examining performance, by analysing the medians and growth rates of the residual values (difference of actual and the predicted values) of the performance measures. Using post-merger, accounting-based indicators as a measure of performance, and proxies for operating, financial and tax synergies, this essay concludes that Transport, Freight, Storage & Travel Services is the industry with the best performance in general and the tax efficiency is the synergy with most value generation across the other types of synergies. It is also concluded that in the revenue-enhancement synergies and in tax synergies the Construction sector was the industry with more synergistic value creation and in financial synergies, was the Property Services sector. Measurement issues and directions for future research are also discussed in the end.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter looks at two contemporary texts by Asian Canadians that deal with aging and the aged. It discusses ways in which filmmaker Linda Ohama and performer/playwright Catherine Hernandez contest popular Western notions of aging by focusing on affective memories that forestall linear time. Instead of representing the aged woman's body through industrial or post-industrial metaphors of breakdown and wearing out, Ohama and Hernandez emphasize qualities such as energy and endurance in their female protagonists. Through the use of flashbacks, memories, magic realism, and motifs, these authors challenge not only the cultural view of the aged and aging but also our experience of time and understanding of how history is handled.

Full textAbstract:
The shift towards a flatter, more networked and flexible organization has required an alternative approach to employment issues - from a normative and prescriptive “Personnel Management” approach to a broader “Human Resource Management” (HRM) approach - so as to foster employees' commitment and empowerment. Through a range of HRM practices, so-called High Commitment Work Systems (HCWS), organizations seek to engender higher level of identification, empowerment and autonomy, which are crucial for the ‘post-bureaucratic employee' who is expected to use intuition, discretion and knowledge to deal with ongoing changes and service demands. Focusing on recruitment and selection, career management and flexible work arrangements, the chapter argues that contemporary HR practices offer a powerful mechanism that modern organizations may use to replace bureaucratic control. However, the analysis also highlights several contradictions and tensions that surface during the adoption of HCWS and may explain some of the unsatisfying outcomes of the post-bureaucratic approach.

Aspect-Oriented (AO) Technology is a post-object-oriented technology used to overcome limitations of Object-Oriented (OO) Technology, such as the cross-cutting concern problem. Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) also offers modularity and traceability benefits. Yet, reasoning, specification, and verification of AO systems present unique challenges, especially as such systems evolve over time. Consequently, formal modular reasoning of such systems is highly attractive as it enables tractable evolution, otherwise necessitating that the entire system be re-examined each time a component is changed or is added. The aspect interactions problem is also an open issue in the AOP area. To deal with this problem, the authors choose to use Category Theory (CT) and Algebraic Specification (AS) techniques. In this chapter, the authors present an aspect-oriented specification and verification approach. The approach is expressive and allows for formal modular reasoning.

Full textAbstract:
Melbourne’s urban parkscapes contain a range of memorials, monuments, and features, all of which have a role in the creation, performance, and reiteration of public memory and contemporary identity. These include a collection of sites and objects that originated in Australia’s pre-colonial and colonial past, but which were recontextualized and memorialized in the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. Despite the earlier origins of the material and remains incorporated at these sites, their subsequent recontextualization can tell us a great deal about the changing values and identities of the city’s communities over time. Thus, in this chapter we will argue that Melbourne’s urban parks have been used as places for reflection on the foundation stories of the city, and that through this engagement contemporary identities are reinforced, contested, and negotiated. Considerable attention has been paid previously to sites such as the Shrine of Remembrance, which commemorate Australia’s involvement in the World Wars, but in this chapter we will examine the practice and process of memorializing older material (see also Graff, Chapter 4, for examples of long-term memorial practices in Chicago). We are interested in what each site tells us about contemporary Melbourne’s changing relationship with its colonial and pre-colonial past, and the current nature of its post-colonial discourse. The terms ‘memorial’, ‘memorialization’, and ‘monument’ will appear throughout this chapter. We use ‘memorial’ to refer to an object erected or modified to commemorate an individual, organization, or event. This adheres to the literal definition (‘memorial’ 1, OED Online), but is also the way in which the term is used by local park and heritage authorities (City of Melbourne 2003: 1). By extension, ‘memorialization’ refers to the process by which something or someone is memorialized, or, as is more relevant to this chapter, the process through which an object or site becomes a memorial. We use the term ‘monument’ to refer more specifically to architectural or archaeological sites, which are commonly defined by their large or physically imposing presence (see Carver 1996). These may also have amemorial function, but they are not inherently defined by their commemorative value (Cooper et al. 2005: 240; Carman 2002: 46–7).

Abstract Present paper deal with data analysis of on-board measurement data from operating ship. The main purpose of the study is estimating speed-power performance of target ship which are in service now. Various kinds of on-board measured data are considered such as ship speed, engine RPM, brake power, draught, rudder angle, etc. Also, in order to estimate the added resistance, weather forecast data about wind, wave and current was considered. What this study found was that the onboard measurement data and weather forecast data have a lot of uncertainty, so the data need to be post-processed in order to derive reliable speed power performance curve. For this reason, current study proposed three-step filtering procedure. The filtering schemes are based on 1) absolute threshold value, 2) moving window, 3) derivative threshold value. The paper compared the performance estimation results of ship with and without filtering technique and some conclusions could be drawn.

Full textAbstract:
Ceramic candle filters have proven to be an effective means of removing particulates to levels exceeding New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) in high temperature applications. The traditional “hard” ceramic filter elements, typically formed from granules of silicon carbide, mullite, etc., however, have shown to be susceptible to failure from physical shock, thermal stress, and chemical attack. Additionally, these hard, dense candles can be costly and present internal filter design problems due to their relatively high weight. A good deal has been written about the use of porous ceramics in the filtration of high temperature gases for removal of particulate matter. Unlike the dense, granular ceramic filter elements, vacuum formed chopped ceramic fiber (VFCF) filters represent an attractive alternative. Composed of commercially available chopped ceramic fibers and utilizing existing vacuum forming technology, low cost filter elements with excellent physical and thermal shock resistance are now available. The ceramic fiber filter “skeleton” can be “post-treated” with refractory materials to enhance strength and chemical resistance, as well as to change permeability to suit a particular application. Also, because the ceramic fiber skeleton has greater porosity and is composed of low density materials, the final product is significantly lighter in weight than the traditional dense ceramic elements, making overall filter design an easier task. The use of ceramics extends beyond that of filter elements, however. Ceramics in the form of refractory have long been used to protect metal structures from high temperature and abrasion, and an extensive body of literature deals with this subject. Castable refractories, for example, can be utilized to achieve special shapes that exhibit excellent strength at high temperatures. Recently, several other papers have dealt with the use of lightweight ceramics as filter media as well as structural members.

Full textAbstract:
This paper deals with near past, ongoing and planned R&D works on fission products (FPs) behaviour in Reactor Cooling System (RCS), containment building and in Filtered Containment Venting Systems (FCVS) for severe accident (SA) conditions. For the last topic, in link with the Fukushima post-accident management and possible improvement of mitigation actions for such SA, the FCVS topic is again on the agenda (see Status Report on Filtered Containment Venting, OECD/NEA/CSNI, Report NEA/CSNI/R(2014)7, 2014.) with a large interest at the international scale. All the researches are collaborative works; the overall objective is to develop confident models to be implemented in ASTEC SA simulation software. After being initiated in the International Source Term Program (ISTP), researches devoted to the understanding of iodine transport through the RCS are still ongoing in the frame of a bilateral agreement between IRSN and EDF with promising results. In 2017, a synthesis report of the last 10 years of researches, which have combined experimental and fundamental works based on the use of theoretical chemistry tools, will be issued. For containment, the last advances are linked to the Source Term Evaluation and Mitigation (STEM) OECD/NEA project operated by IRSN. The objective of the STEM project was to improve the evaluation of Source Term (ST) for a SA on a nuclear power plant and to reduce uncertainties on specific phenomena dealing with the chemistry of two major fission products: iodine and ruthenium. More precisely, the STEM project provided additional knowledge and improvements for calculation tools in order to allow a more robust diagnosis and prognosis of radioactive releases in a SA. STEM data will be completed by a follow-up, called STEM2, to further the knowledge concerning some remaining issues and be closer to reactor conditions. Two additional programmes deal with FCVS issues: the MItigation of outside Releases in the Environment (MIRE) (2013–2019) French National Research Agency (NRA) programme and the Passive and Active Systems on Severe Accident source term Mitigation (PASSAM) (2013–2016) European project. For FCVS works, the efficiencies for trapping iodine with various FCVS, covering scrubbers and dry filters, are examined to get a clear view of their abilities in SA conditions. Another part, performed in collaboration with French universities (Lorraine and Lille 1), is focused on the enhancement of the performance of these filters with specific porous materials able to trap volatile iodine. For that, influence of zeolites materials parameters (nature of the counter-ions, structure, Si/Al ratio …) will be tested. New kind of porous materials constituted by Metal organic Frameworks (MOF) will also be looked at because they can constitute a promising way of trapping.
