Competition is fierce, and companies must team up to survive in an industry where specialized knowledge is sovereign. One of the largest, most critical, and most difficult parts of a business merger is the successful integration of the enterprise networks of the merger partners. BPO Systems has the expertise and skills to make your merger or acquisition a much smoother process. An attempt has been made to draw the results of only some of the earlier studies while analyzing the causes of failure of majority of the mergers in this exploratory Research paper. Making the mergers work successfully is not that easy as here we are not only just putting the two organizations together but also integrating people of two organizations with different cultures, attitudes and mindsets. While making the merger deals, it is necessary not only to make analysis of the financial aspects of the acquiring firm but also the cultural and people issues of both the concerns for proper post-acquisition integration and to make the combination successful.

This paper investigates the impact of an acquirer’s experience on the acquisition of private firms (i.e., private target acquisition) in high-technology industries by analyzing a dataset of NASDAQ-listed firms operating in information technology (IT) industries. Specifically, this paper examines whether two types of experience (i.e., early venture capital (VC)-backed experience and prior mergers and acquisitions (M&A) experience) matter to the acquisition. We find that both types of experience have positive effects on private target acquisition, while only prior M&A experience positively influences public target acquisition, implying that early VC-backed experience is effective in mitigating information asymmetry related to private target acquisition and exploring opportunities for value creation. We also find that an acquirer’s growth performance and absorptive capacity prior to the acquisition enhance the positive effects of the experiences on private target acquisition.

Digital technology giants dominate the list of the largest publicly traded companies worldwide. This book analyses mergers and acquisitions by these firms from three perspectives—it examines the effect of such activity on the value of the acquirer and on the value of different groups of rivals, and compares it with the effect of other firms’ acquisitions. The author integrates research from finance, information systems, strategy and economics, and investigates the aforementioned value effects on different types of companies. He identifies factors that drive value creation and discusses them in relation to the market environment, digital giants’ special role and potential managerial motives.
