Volume : III, Issue : IV, May - 2013 AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT OF INTERNATIONAL MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS IN IT INDUSTRY BHUPESH MALHOTRA AND VANDANA SHARMA DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The international acquisitions constitute an unexplained paradox: although
academic research and business practice have shown that the majority of these
transactions fail to achieve pre-acquisition objectives. Acquisitions across borders
continue to be very popular and remain the main vehicle through which MNCs undertake
foreign direct investment (The Economist, 2007; UN Conference on Trade and
Development, 2000). It therefore becomes important to examine the causes of
international acquisition failure, and to develop strategies that may mitigate these
problems.
This study has used structured interviews of experts of one IT major company which has
done more than forty successful mergers & acquisitions in the past, self working
experience of the author in the field of IT industry merger and acquisition process and
with varied literature available on this topic to: a) Evaluate the previous experience in
successful management of the merger and acquisition; b) link between merger failures
and associating corresponding reverse pointers as its success measure and c)
identification of key areas which lead to successful management of international
mergers and acquisitions in IT industry.
With the help of project management framework, a successful model in IT industry
mergers is being proposed in this paper. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : BHUPESH MALHOTRA AND VANDANA SHARMA, (2013).
