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.

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to contribute with knowledge about what should be given priority, in the merger and acquisition process, to generate synergies and thereby create shareholder value. This is achieved by investigating mergers and acquisitions in Sweden during the period 1996-2001.

Method: The thesis includes both quantitative and qualitative research. The quantitative research is calculations made to decide each company’s performances compared to index and the qualitative research is interviews made with representatives from the companies.

Result: There are no superior methods that can guarantee success, however there are certain aspects that always should be given priority. According our research those are among others: thorough due diligence, creating a committee of integration in order to keep focus on core business.

Andersson, Maria, and de la Rosa Maja Karlsson. "Realizing synergies in mergers and acquisitions : A case study of WM-data’s acquisition of Atos Origin Nordic." Thesis, Uppsala University, Department of Business Studies, 2006. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-9026.

The focus of this thesis is the determinants for synergy realization in a merger or an acquisition. The objective is to describe the actions taken by our case company and relate these to the most important factors in realizing synergies in the new entity. We have chosen to study WM-data; a company widely experienced with merger and acquisition events, which during the last two years have conducted two lager acquisitions with subsequent integrations. Our focus has been last year’s acquisition of Atos Origin Nordic. The data about the event was gathered through interviews with key individuals involved in the acquisition and integration, through a questionnaire distributed amongst a group of employees and through studying published and internal documents covering the event. The model that is used relates combination potential, organizational integration, employee resistance and previous experience to synergy realization. The combination potential is affected by the strategic similarities and complementarities found in the combining companies, both which was found in our case company. Organizational integration is best conducted with a co-competence approach, i.e. a high level of integration through a fast and positive process. Also in this area our case company acted in a way that facilitates synergy realization. High employee resistance can reduce the potential for synergy realization. Actions in the areas of communication, culture and career can reduce resistance. Even if our case company used many of the techniques recommended, some employees still had a negative attitude towards the acquisition. Even more emphasis could have been put on communication about the event and forthcoming career implications. Experience of previous mergers and acquisitions activities can facilitate synergy realization if the combination is taking place in a similar industry setting. Our case company successfully recycled a lot of knowledge from a prior acquisition event, conducted by the Finnish subsidiary. In whole, the case study in this thesis represents a good example of how a company could act to realize synergies in a merger or acquisition. So far, most cost synergies relate to the combination of similar operations. Surprisingly, reducing costs through lay-offs was the primary method to achieve the expected savings. However, this event is still in an early phase, we expect more synergies from the combination to be realized in the future. Key words: mergers and acquisitions, case study, synergy realization, combination potential, organizational integration, employee resistance, M&A experience.

Maloney, Brendan. "Mergers and Acquisitions: : Their impact on technological performance." Thesis, University of Kalmar, Baltic Business School, 2006. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hik:diva-121.

This Thesis examines the impact of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) on the subsequent technological performance of the related firms. The investigated firms are selected according to their strategic choice which consists in seeing M&As as a shortcut for acquiring technological assets and capabilities and therefore the subsequent technological performance. The relatedness issue as well as the resource-based view of the firm are theoretical hints, which effectiveness on technological performance is discussed. A more managerial approach using case studies is also used in order to demonstrate a new organisational form of cooperation, derived from strategic alliances and M&As. With the help of the Renault-Nissan Alliance it is argued that this hybrid form presents many capacities for developing a successful integration process, and subsequently enhancing technological performance.

Lyckhult, Maria, and Sabina Olsson. "Fight Global Assimilation! Cultural Clashes in Cross-National Mergers and Acquisitions." Thesis, Jönköping University, JIBS, EMM (Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Management), 2006. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-452.

Cross-national merger and acquisition (M&A) activity is common and is argued to be a strategic tool for the growth of multinational corporations. Yet, M&A activity has a high failure rate which theorists have explained being due to cultural clashes. Previous research has explained these clashes being due to cultural distance. Other studies have focused on the extent to which the firms are culturally integrated and its relation to cultural clashes. In this study we investigate the relation between cultural distance and the extent to which the firms are culturally integrated as we believe that this relation in turn influences how cultural clashes are perceived by managers.

As the human side of M&A has become of great interest within research we stress the importance of understanding what happens with managers in the organization during the post-acquisition process. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to investigate the managers’ perception of cultural clashes, in relation to the perceived extent of cultural integration and perceived cultural distance, in cross-national mergers and acquisitions.

In order to achieve an in-depth understanding of a series of cross-national M&As and to answer the purpose of this thesis, a qualitative case study design was used. Semistandardized interviews were made with ten managers from a Swedish firm that has gone through a series of cross-national M&As involving Swiss, French and German managements.

The findings show that managers’ perception of cultural clashes differs depending on to what extent two firms are culturally integrated and in relation to the cultural distance between the two firms. No matter if high or low cultural distance managers perceive few cul-tural clashes if the extent to which the firms are integrated is low. If the cultural integration, on the other hand, is high and the cultural distance is high, the cultural clashes are perceived as many. Our findings indicate that cultural clashes are perceived differently depend-ing on how they affect the managerial role and the organizational behaviour. We refer to these clashes as implicit agreements and explicit statements. Clashes in implicit agreements are evolved from behaviour deeply rooted in national culture and corporate culture. These clashes have minor effects on the managerial role and the organizational behaviour. Never-theless, managers need to be aware of the differences and adapt to the preferred behaviour when interacting with the acquiring firm’s management. Explicit statements, on the other hand, affect the managerial role and organizational behaviour and lead to cultural clashes that conduce to frustration, lack of motivation and inefficiency. These clashes are more ap-parent when the extent of culturally integration is high. Therefore, the acquiring firm should not attempt to assimilate its target company in cross-national M&As.

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 thus valuable to investigate what M&A advisory firms view as critical success factors to the projects they undertake. Consequently, the research question of “What are the critical success factors for merger & acquisition projects in the view of merger & acquisition advisory firms” has been raised. A list of ten critical success factors for M&A projects is firstly identified from an extensive literature review. These factors are (1) Complete and Clear objectives, goals and scope of the project, (2) Client consultation and acceptance, (3) Project manager’s competence and commitment, (4) Project team member’s competence and commitment, (5) Communication and information sharing and exchange, (6) Project plan development, (7) M&A advisory firm’s resource planning, (8) Time management and tight secrecy, (9) Price evaluation and financing scheme, and (10) Risk management.

In an attempt to explore the importance of each factor in the practical context, data have been collected through three research methods. Primarily, the authors conduct a semi-structured interview with six interviewees currently working in three organizations which provide professional services related to M&A projects. Meanwhile, a self-completion questionnaire method is employed, following which a sample of 325 M&A advisory firms based in the U.S. is selected to participate in an online survey. In addition, the authors follow a case study approach based on the three organizations of the six interviewees in order to establish comprehensive knowledge about issues relating to M&A projects.

In response to the research question, the findings strongly indicate that seven out of ten factors in the original list have a positive impact, being the factors listed above as (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (8), and (9). On the other hand, it revealed the lesser importance of the other three. In addition, three new factors have been discovered from analyzing the data collected, being (i) Having a number of key potential buyers with suitable profile (ii) Right, correct and complete information and data in the data room, and (iii) The quality of the selling company. While as another outcome of this research, further practical insights have been provided regarding the role of M&A advisory firms, the M&A process, common issues faced by M&A projects and the success criteria for M&A projects.

The findings from this research contribute valuable new knowledge to both researchers and practitioners in both project management and M&A fields, while facilitating the achievement of successful M&A projects.

In this paper, the researcher studies the Impact of Mergers on Shareholders Wealth in the Indian banking industry. The sample comprised of five mergers in the Indian banking sector; the mergers taking place from 20, Nov 2002 to 19 May 2010. All the Targets and Acquiring banks are traded on the BSE 500. In order to find out the impact of Mergers on the shareholder's wealth the researchers used the Standard Risk Adjusted Event Methodology. After testing, the study showed that the expectations of shareholders of Target and Bidder banks to avail the excess return could not be realized with public information and they were unable to earn abnormal return neither before nor after the announcement of M&A's. The announcement of merger for both the bidder and the target is statistically insignificant and economically relevant.

Consolidation of banks through mergers and acquisitions is an important force of change taking place in the Indian banking sector. The present work investigates the fairness of valuation in bank merger deals occurred in the post-liberalization India. In contrast to the firm valuation which gives an absolute value, merger valuation is a relative valuation which is very important for both bidder and target banks. In other words, the exchange ratios fixed in the deals are very crucial as it will have a major impact on the future prospects of the acquiring bank. To check the authenticity or fairness of valuation, the study uses contribution analysis in two different ways. When the absolute ratios are considered, the deals appear more favourable to the targets as the deal values were very higher to their market capitalization. However, the study finds that target banks got underpaid and the significant increase in the share prices of target banks around the merger announcement cannot be attributed to the valuation aspects. The study is completely based on the financials of banks at the time of merger and other factors including the strategic benefits to both bidder and target banks are ignored.

Este artigo origina-se a partir de uma dissertação de mestrado, em que se discutiu o uso do WhatsApp, uma ferramenta comunicacional largamente utilizada na sociedade, para a promoção de diálogos espontâneos entre aprendizes de Inglês como LE. Dentro de uma perspectiva sociocultural e considerando-se que a aprendizagem se dá através da mediação de artefatos socioculturais e na interação com outros sujeitos (VYGOTSKY, 1978), este trabalho objetiva compreender como se dá a mediação da aprendizagem através da ferramenta WhatsApp. Mais especificamente, pretendeu-se analisar a produção dos aprendizes de inglês como LE durante a interação na língua que aprendem através de grupos formados no WhatsApp, buscando compreender como se organizam as interações através do aplicativo e como elas poderiam contribuir para o aprendizado da LE.

Post mergers and acquisitions, will employees leave or stay? Researchers say 'just ask AI'

by Dan Tran, George Mason University

Within knowledge-intensive industries like tech, there is an almost insatiable demand for highly skilled employees, such as software engineers and app developers. Need for talent often motivates mergers and acquisitions (M&A), in a process colloquially known as "acqui-hiring."

As is well-known, however, differences in company culture and organizational misalignments during the merging process may result in talent turnover, tension, and increased potential of failure.

In a recent working paper published in SSRN Electronic Journal , Jingyuan Yang, an information systems and operations management professor at the Donald G. Costello College of Business at George Mason University, discovers how to efficiently predict employee turnover using an innovative AI-driven approach. This paper was also co-authored by Denghui Zhang from Stevens Institute of Technology, and Hao Zhong from ESCP Business School in Paris.

"The primary objective of this study is to examine the effects of M&A on employee turnover across diverse business sectors, and to draw generalizable insights into turnover patterns," Yang states.

Within this study, the researchers utilized a large-scale real-world data-set which had information on the histories of acquired employees as well as information on the M&A firms for their method test. The researchers then developed a "dual-fit heterogeneous graph neural network " to predict talent turnover in the merging phase of companies.

Through data analysis, they measured an Organization to Organization fit (O-O) which compares the similarities between the two companies, and a Person to Organization fit (P-O), which analyzes compatibility between individual job functions and the new company culture.

Yang emphasizes the distinction between this study and traditional M&A research, which "only focuses on firm-to-firm relationships, lacking the perspective on employee compatibility," Yang says.

The O-O fit and the P-O fit were converted into a graph structure, which can be used to quantify the overall fit of the two companies. This score, in turn, determines the likely rate of turnover for specific job titles.

The researchers found that the predictive performance of their solution surpassed four conventional machine-learning models trained on the same data, as well as three existing graph neural network models.

Based on existing research, Yang finds that an astonishing "30 percent of merging acquirees left within three years," underscoring the severity of the problem. In Yang's perspective, this seems to be a great loss and failure of an hiring-oriented acquisition.

But what does Yang's approach mean for companies that may be involved in "acqui-hiring" in the future, and want to avoid the same fate? For Yang, this AI model serves as a potential tool that may aid organizations' decision making and effectiveness overall.

"If they have this information beforehand, I think this will be very helpful for them to make the merging decision and also to see if this is the most effective way to hire and retain the team."

She states that this predictive model answers the question of "Which type of employee will be affected the most and the HR team can quickly identify if the desired employee will leave or not." Also, the two fits contain information useful in evaluating the M&A process, to see if "at the company level there is high compatibility, and the individual level to see if the future acquired employee will be satisfied and stay at a company."

Accurate predictions of turnover rates by job function also allow acquiring companies to take proactive steps to retain mission-critical employees who might be at high risk of quitting. "It helps them to determine their retention package…[there are] a lot of strategies to pinpoint the employees they really want to acquire," Yang says.

"This can help them to have the right expectation. Companies need to consider the estimated cost of their retention package prior to entering into the M&A deal."

But given the high probability of turnover and the resulting retention costs, is "acqui-hiring" even a good idea in most cases? "I think it's going to be trending for a long time, because it still brings a lot of benefits. Acquirers get not only the unique products and techniques, but there's a soft knowledge set among acquired employees that is really valuable. So I think this strategy will be continue to be prevalent in the technology field," Yang says.
