2008-07-15 07:40:00 2007 will go down in history as the year of Mergers & Acquisitions in India. However, 2008 has not kept pace with the momentum gained last year.

Lawsuits, Mergers, and Bankrupcies on my?
2007-12-28 02:25:00 From thetruthaboutcars.com: “Cerberus may be positioning itself to sue Daimler for unfair business practices. They could do so? after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection? under a claim of “fraudulent conveyance.” Rather than turn this into a boring law seminar? and God knows I’m an expert on that front? let’s just say that the provision in question (or not) is part of the U.S. bankruptcy code designed to stop management from hiding capital from creditors. Here’s the twist: Cerberus could use fraudulent conveyance to claim that the Germans cooked the books, sneakily selling them a business they knew wasn’t “a going concern.” From fortune.com:”Meanwhile, speculation is building about Cerberus’ exit strategy from Chrysler, as well as its timing. Will it try to merge Chrysler with Ford, or sell it to another automaker, or go to the public with an IPO? If Chrysler continues to pile up losses, investors may get anx...

Mergers and there success rate in Europe
2007-11-22 08:57:00 Nine out of ten mergers failOnly nine per cent of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in Europe over the past three years have achieved their stated objectives, according to research from management consultancy Hay Group. The survey of 200 business leaders also finds that under a third (28 per cent) say their merger created significant new value.The figures for the UK are even more alarming, with only three per cent of mergers rated as successful.One key reason for failure is the over-prioritising of systems integration over intangible assets and cultural compatibility, with some 58 per cent of respondents admitting this had been a problem. David Derain, a director of Hay Group who leads its work on M&A, says: ?Integrating intangible assets six months after a deal has gone live is too late. Companies should be examining the compatibility and differences between the two firms well before the deal is made public.?Little over a quarter (27 per cent) of companies surveyed analysed th...

2007-10-04 16:17:00 Ever thought the impact of mergers that’s takin place in Indian aviation will lead to??? The rosy picture what we see is not that rosy if we analyse carefully the complete scenario. Whats the basic reason of mergers, are airlines loving to get merged in order to have some sort of benefits to them…I don’t think so, they are doin it due to compulsion, the financial compulsion. Air Deccan sold its stake to Kingfisher only due to financial crisis, Air Sahara sold only due to mounting losses (the second deal). GoAir is cutting operations, even Spicejet may also be on sale (some stake). So, whats the mergers will finally lead…it will lead to cartels. Cartels of 2-3 airlines coming together like Kingfisher – Deccan, Jet- Jetlite, Air India or even Paramount with Spicejet or GoAir , may be both on Paramounts side. The cartels then formed will lead to some kind of monopoly with big players having there own say, prices have already started to going up, they are already heading north...
