Abstract

Due to increased competition and increased globalization the economic environment has changed in recent years and in light of this, the challenges a company faces have become larger and more demanding. Over time, a wide range of empirical studies have been performed in order to determine if M&A transactions create value. This paper is to give a perspective of some of the studies performed and to evaluate the effects of mergers and acquisitions, as well as illustrating the evidence of value creation.
