Problem: Some mergers and acquisitions are successful yet others are doomed to failure. Research a merger business case and highlight the following:
1) Was this merger successful?
2) What are the reasons for the success or failure of this venture?
3) What was the toll on human capital in this venture (staff, leadership etc.)?
Based on your research, choose 2 successful acquisitions and 2 unsuccessful acquisitions which have taken place in the past 10 years. What are the reasons for the success or failure of these ventures?
