Download or read book Corporate Argumentation in Takeover Bids written by Rudi Palmieri and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume systematically investigates the role of argumentation in takeover bids. The announcement of these financial proposals triggers an argumentative situation, in which both the economic desirability and the social acceptability of the deal become argumentative issues for different classes of stakeholders (shareholders, employees, customers, etc.). The study focuses on the strategic maneuvers that corporate directors deploy in order to persuade their audiences while complying with precise regulatory requirements, designed to allow shareholders to make reasonable decisions. A conceptual reframing of takeovers as an argumentative context brings to light the different argumentative situations of friendly and hostile bids. The argumentative strategies that corporate directors adopt in the two situations are identified and analyzed on the basis of a corpus of takeover documents referring to offers launched in the UK market between 2006 and 2010. The argumentative reconstruction focuses in particular on the inferential configuration of arguments, which is accomplished by means of the Argumentum Model of Topics (AMT). This kind of analysis enables capturing the inherently argumentative processes through which information becomes a relevant starting point for investment decisions.

Download or read book The Art of Hostile Takeover Defence written by Jeannette Gorzala and published by Igel Verlag. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The market for corporate control had been the playfield of bust-up artists and speculators seeking short-time profits during the 1980s. This had also encouraged many innovations in the art of hostile takeover defence. Until today anti-takeover defence has reached a very sophisticated level and most companies have erected formidable defences to counter aggressive corporate raiders. With her book Jeanette Gorzala provides a global perspective on hostile take-over defence during the latest merger wave. The focus lies on firstly determining the most common anti-takeover defence strategies and then in a second step evaluating their effectiveness to ward off corporate raiders. For this purpose the underlying concepts of the formal theory are presented in order to serve as a fundamental basis for an empirical study. In order to underline the theory with empirical evidence a sample of 335 hostile takeover bids launched in the timeframe from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2008 has been analyzed. The key findings of the study are presented along two vital research questions reflecting the purpose of this book.

Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 70, University of Westminster (Westminster Business School), course: MSc Finance and Accounting - Master Dissertation, language: English, abstract: The attack and defence strategies are of critical importance for the situation of a takeover-bid from the view of the target company or the investor (raider). They can be crucial factor whether the acquisition is successful or not. Several strategies are discussed and are evidenced on the basis of practical examples. Of special importance is the development of the bid premia during the takeover process and the impact to the shareholders wealth. It can be observed that through decades and several takeover waves in the 20th century specific defence strategies pointed out as favourites in use for target managers. This project reviews the motivations for hostile takeovers, structures the random literature in this field, discusses the effects and impacts of popular attacks and defences and showcases several high-profile takeover bids.
Download or read book The Takeover Dialogues written by Edmund J. Kelly and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-01-28 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A longtime critic of hostile cash takeovers of large corporations, Edmund Kelly believed that if the organized insincerity of advisors and corporate control entrepreneurs in the tight knit takeover community was told, this alone would contribute to a decline in the acceptance of the hostile bid as an acquisition method. Copies of The Takeover Dialogues were purchased primarily in 1988 by investment and commercial banking and corporate law firms, executives and business libraries. Prominent uninvited cash takeover bids averaged 17 a year for the period 1985 - 1988. There were 6 in 1989 and 2 in 1990. For the years 1991 -1999 they averaged 1.2 a year. In these carefully reasoned dialogues, Edmund Kelly also examines the impact of corporate raids on the business community and society. Kelly believes the ideal corporation translates capital and human energy into a community service institution that is ultimately greater than the sum of its parts. This book raises important questions of public policy about issues affecting the institutions upon which we all depend for our continued prosperity. It is important reading for anyone concerned about the future of corporate business in a capitalistic society.
