  • Mergers in the economy, patterns and development, international comparisons. The economic theory of mergers and acquisitions. Tests of economic welfare. Strategic motives for merging.
  • Cultural and human aspects of mergers. Success and failure. Methods of acquisition, their advantages and disadvantages. Cross-border mergers. Post-merger strategies. Alternatives to merging.

Module Aims

  • To develop a comprehensive understanding of the motives and rationale for mergers and acquisitions and the methods involved.

  • Knowledge of the incidence and popularity of mergers and acquisitions.
  • Skills in appraising the motives and methods involved and outcomes of mergers.
  • Skills in analysis, prediction and appraisal of events.

Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy

  • The module is delivered through interactive lectures, seminars and case workshops. Lectures are designed to provide students with the material on various aspects of mergers and acquisitions, which will act as a base for students' wider reading and guide students' independent study (learning outcome 1, 2 and 3). Tutorials are used to enhance and verify students understanding of the motives and rational of M&A and the methods involved. Case workshops are then used to consolidate students' understanding by providing them opportunity to apply them and explore them in relation to case studies. Discussion provides a mechanism for students to share their views on the motives and rationale for mergers and acquisitions and the methods involved (learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3). Directed study will encourage students to extend the understanding of research and theory in the area of M&A and enhance their skills in analysis, prediction and appraisal of events (learning outcome 3). The feedback that students receive in tutorials and the case workshops is specifically designed to enable them to evaluate their own performance during the course.
