Abstract
Abstract: Although mergers and acquisitions have been around for decades, neither managers, advisors nor researchers have been able to unlock the secrets of these transactions and what makes them successful or not. The aim of this thesis was therefore to shed light on this subject and to try to demonstrate that quantitative factors can indeed help to explain post-transaction performance. After a literature review which led to a series of hypotheses, two databases were created in order to regress on them and analyse the results. Finally, a number of interesting conclusions were drawn, and a critical judgement of this work was made.
