ZEE BUSINESS BEST B SCHOOL SURVEY

We started with the May 2008 BCG report (The Return of the Strategist) where this former supporter of M&As confirms, “The key question is not whether deal volumes and values will fall or rise, but whether it is still [ever] possible to generate [any] value from [M&A] transactions!... More than half of mergers destroy value for acquirers’ shareholders!” The May 2007 research (Why M&A Deals Are Bad For Shareholders) of the motherlode of all institutions, HBS, quotes, “Most M&A deals destroy shareholder value!”

How has the thinking been a few years back? The April 2004 HBS paper (Should We Brace Ourselves For Another Era Of M&A Value Destruction?) states eloquently, “In the end, M&A is a flawed process, invented by brokers, lawyers and CEOs with super-sized egos!” MarkSirower, author of the famous book Synergy Trap, shows how, on an average, 2/3rds of all deals end up destroying shareholder value. Even the famed McKinsey, once a fanatic supporter of M&As, had to accept that in the US & UK, only one quarter of all M&As even recovered the merger costs.
