Abstract

The present paper is carried out with the objective of studying what shift-in-structure is experienced especially in the operating performance (OP) after merger and acquisitions (M&AS) by studying 39 selected acquiring manufacturing firms in India. The firms, which had gone in to the M&AS process during the financial year 2006–2007 are only considered for the study. Factor analysis, correlation matrix, multiple regression, and chow test are applied to study the op of these firms in the pre-and post-merger periods. The study reveals that the M&AS process has significant (positive improvement) effect on op of the acquiring manufacturing firms in India after M&AS over the study period.
