companies operations. and financial problems together with economic downturn forced many
companies to restructure. Thus. M&A activities are becoming conunon operations as
strategies to strengthen financial situation and to maintain companies' business. Both
developed and developing are giving more and more importance to M&As as a means of
economic development for the country.
This research study covers the development of M&As in developed and developing
countries with special emphasize on Thailand. The main purpose of the case study was to
understand strategic motives and to analyze the performance of companies before and after
merger by looking at the expectations of investors, which could be affected by the company's
share prices listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
The lesson learnt from this study is that the process of M&As activities as valuation of
business and transaction deals is complex and complicated so financial advisors should
consider every aspects of the operation. Rules and regulations, pa1ticularly SEC and SET, are
now encouraging M&As operations. Therefore, it is difficult to assess the result of M&A
both in the short and long-term. particularly regarding to post-merger integration success. |
