Download or read book Post aquisition Integration Process of Two Diverse Acquisitions by a Company written by Jose Vincento De Sousa and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this research paper, business post-acquisition integration strategies and structures are introduced and discussed. Concepts are presented to demonstrate and support how formulation and implementation of these strategies and structures will safeguard smooth organisational change that will result in achieving synergy and value creation. Of paramount importance is that the activity of mergers and acquisitions enhances shareholder value and produce sustainable economic growth for the organisation concerned. The aim of this research is not to give an overview or an abundance of examples and data of recent mergers and acquisitions, but rather to present a case study of a dominant South African furniture and white appliance retailer's post-acquisition integration process on assimilating two diverse acquisitions in the audio visual, electronic and office automation retail sector. The outcome is to present thoughts and insights on how the post-acquisition integration process should be organised, managed and implemented. One of the main reasons that value is not enhanced through business integration by means of mergers and acquisitions is the fact that the wrong corporate strategies and business integration strategies are formulated and selected. Another important factor is inadequate post merger management, not capable of handling the integration process and the major changes that take place in the organisation involved in the process. It has been noted in this paper that in order to increase shareholders' value through M & A, a carefully planned and formulated strategy is critical and a proper post-merger management plan / action plan has to be drawn up, put in place, and implemented. The twelve maxims for successful mergers and acquisitions are identified. It is established that M & A should be part of a planned strategic activity and the outcomes of acquiring a company should meet clear and measurable business objectives. Finding the right approach for success is critical to the process. Taking time to fully understand the acquired business properly, making changes at the appropriate speed, acknowledging and dealing with cultural issues, communicating both vertically and horizontally, motivating and rewarding key people in both organisations, and establishing consistent managerial controls and reporting are important issues that need to be addressed and dealt with. If not properly addressed and if the wrong approaches are taken, business integration will fail and value will be destroyed. What can be concluded is that an increase in the value of the parent company through mergers and acquisitions is heavily dependent on the chosen integration strategy and on establishing proper post-merger management to guide and manage the process to its successful end.

Download or read book Developing rules and principles for preparing and implementing acquisition projects written by Thorsten Mühl and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2001-05-02 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Near the beginning in Homer s Odyssey, the son of Odysseus, young Telemachus, had been advised by the goddess of wisdom, Athena, to ask old King Nestor about an important issue, relating to the residence of his father. Telemachus hesitated, explaining his doubts by introversion and insecurity. Telemachus behaviour lives on in the contemporary context of Mergers &Acquisitions where still the most inexperienced, unskilled professionals supposed and expected to know everything long before the process starts. Developing rules and principles for preparing and implementing acquisition projects attempts to provide a general idea about one of the most difficult, vast, complicated, and sometimes immeasurable growth strategies in management, M&A. While M&A activity had been an Anglo-American occurrence during the first merger wave, the process of concentration had changed to a global phenomenon. Financially driven acquisitions and corporate raiders had been popular during the 1980s, the 1990s and the present is faced with strategic M&A. The present research focuses especially on points that are problematical to measure. Part one comprises a basic approach to M&A, including corporate strategy in terms of its characteristics and the element of strategic management. Part two of the thesis is concerned with the entire M&A strategy. Therefore, the acquisition process had been divided into three components: 1. Pre-acquisition process. 2. The transaction-phase. 3. Post-merger Integration Management (PIM). The centralisation of this part and also the whole thesis, is the search and screen process for potential target companies, a marketing and cultural due diligence approach, and the post-merger integration management (in particular the integration of different organisational cultures). To be precise, the author considered these aspects as absolutely elemental, unquestionable and critical for M&A success. As a result, point four (Valuation techniques and financing methods) is only explained incredibly superficial. The final part of the present research - Part three - combines all the various aspects that had been evaluated during the study by providing some guiding principles for M&A success. Furthermore, the terms Mergers and Acquisitions are used interchangeably in the text because in many instances it is not clear whether one or the other is occurring. However, for certain purposes, it is necessary to distinguish the [...]

This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Business Development, Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) have become an increasingly attractive growth opportunity among companies over a long period of time. Nowadays, there is hardly a day where current developments of ongoing M&A transactions or speculations about presumed M&A deals cannot be followed in the daily press.It is proved that a huge number of M&A did not deliver on their promises. The majority of failed M&A are a result of mismanagement during the Post Merger Integration (PMI) when processes have to be adjusted, personnel need to be teamed up and corporate cultures have to be reconciled.This study deals predominantly with aspects of synergy management whereby the main focus is on synergy tracking as a support function of the synergy management. An emphasis is on the analysis of realization efforts that need to be done by the management during the PMI. To provide a solution and ease the aforementioned issues of synergy realization, a synergy tracking tool, which serves as an effective support instrument during the PMI is developed.

Download or read book Mastering the Merger written by David Harding and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2004-11-04 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's corporate deal makers face a conundrum: Though 70% of major acquisitions fail, it's nearly impossible to build a world-class company without doing deals. In Mastering the Merger, David Harding and Sam Rovit argue that a laserlike focus on just four key imperatives--before executives finalize the deal--can dramatically improve the odds of M&A success. Based on more than 30 years of in-the-trenches work on thousands of deals across a range of industries--and supplemented by extensive Bain & Co. research--Harding and Rovit reveal that the best M&A performers channel their efforts into (1) targeting deals that advance the core business; (2) determining which deals to close and when to walk away; (3) identifying where to integrate--and where not to; and (4) developing contingency plans for when deals inevitably stray. Top deal makers also favor a succession of smaller deals over complex "megamergers"--and essentially institutionalize a success formula over time. Helping executives zero in on what matters most in the complex world of M&A, Mastering the Merger offers a blueprint for the decisions and strategies that will beat the odds.
