Motives for Mergers and Acquisitions
Original language description
It is a commonly held view that large companies are the decisive force in every economy. One of corporate growth strategies are mergers and acquisitions. Although some authors believe their development closely correlates with the development of the GDP, the number of transactions world-wide has grown continuously except slight dips in 2009 and in 2012 -2013. The average value of executed transactions has also grown. This paper looks into the motives for mergers and acquisitions. The authors analyze and systemize information about past mergers and acquisitions in terms of their motivation. The research conducted shows that in many cases it is not possible to unambiguously pinpoint the motive, or distinguish among individual motives at play. The performed analysis and systemization of findings, which are the main methodological tools of research in business and management, nevertheless help create new knowledge in the field of mergers and acquisitions.
