AKVIZICE & PŘEMĚNY ve strategickém řízení

Acquisitions & Mergers, a tool of strategic management, that is the basis of my research. The first question that my research addresses is the acquisition activity in the European Union. The acquisition activity is shown at two levels. In the basic level the numbers of transactions in each country were compared according to freely selected criteria. In the next level, the research deals with the existence of a relationship between the acquisition activity and macroeconomic indicators. The research study presents in detail three new economic indicators for comparison of acquisition activity: M-total, M-score, M-index. The second question that my research addresses is the percentage of successful and unsuccessful deals in the Czech Republic. My research evaluating acquisitions & mergers is based on the financial results. Financial results are looked at from three aspects according to how they may benefit specific interest groups: owners, creditors, employees. The next issue is a verdict on which firms, in terms of financial results in the pre-transaction period, have potential for successful development in the post-transaction period, and which seem to have no potential. The research study presents in detail the new method for acquisitions & mergers evaluating: Acquisition Value Analysis.
