Questions related to Mergers
It seems that I have two different profiles, due to various spellings of my first names/ initials; each containing a set of different papers and publications. How to join them into one?
For Example, Company A & B merged with Company C , so during the pre merger period there are 3 company so how to do its pre merger analysis with post merger company?
(either its 1 to 1 or 3 to 1)
Means which Balance sheet Standalone Balancesheet and Consolidated Balancesheet?
Is there a case study about a company merger since 2010?
I am looking for studies on change management in the merger of the social and health care sector for my thesis. Can someone tell me tips on what kind of searches I could use to find them?
Some of the metrics I would like to take into account are: shareholder value creation in conjunction with the announcement of acquisitions, long-term stock returns, changes in long-term operating results, changes in analysts' earnings forecasts in conjunction with acquisitions. Thank you in advance for your support!
As we know that high energy phenomena like black hole mergers, neutron star mergers can create ripples in the spacetime continuum but what were the modes of GW creation during the initial phase of the universe where this large bodies did not existed. Can the inflation of the universe play a role in creating GWs?
The standard model of cosmology presents a rather dismal picture of the future of the universe with dark energy and accelerated expansion leading to a cold death with no stars. The results of the JWST will be able to show the spectrum of light from the distant galaxies and cosmologists confidently predict that there will only be hydrogen and helium. When the results show that these galaxies are much older than the universe we will have to look for a new model of the evolution of the universe.
The key to understanding the evolution of the universe is to recognise that it is finite with a space boundary. When we think we are looking back to the beginning of time we are really looking out towards the observation horizon. The first galaxy formed around 126 billion years ago and the number of galaxies increases by a factor of 20 every 14 billion years.
In this model of the evolution of the universe the Cosmic Microwave Background is coming from radiating matter held at the event horizon of the universe. This has the effect of ensuring that all the matter formed within the event horizon stays within the event horizon. The expansion rate of the universe is constant. Renewal comes from galaxy mergers and dark matter provides neutrons for star formation.
This is a much more optimistic view of the future of the universe which can continue in a stable state for the indefinite future.

research project and research papers regarding merger and acquisition in india
Looking at the long list of failures of acquisitions, I can see that an answer to the driving factors should be from interest. Especially neglected factors such as culture should be at the core of for example due diligence processes. When I look at the results of my research I can see that specific values classify a merger as beeing value-creating or value-destroying. So both from an academic as well as practical point of view this sounds like an important question to answer.
Hi, Everyone!
I am developing a model in which the dependent variable (y) is the number of days a company takes to complete an acquisition (or a merger) of another company. Since it can take from 1 to a 1000 or more days according to records, I think the Poisson model would not be suitable, since the number of days are not necesarily small count data . Can I apply the traditional OLS, or wich model do you recomend?
Thank You
This presentation of the formation on the solar system depends on the conclusion that the universe is older than 13.8 billion years. The estimated age of the original galaxies which formed the Milky Way galaxy is around 100 billion years.
Typically galaxy mergers take upwards of 20 billion years and the first mergers resulted in star formation. The merger of galaxies with stars which have already formed leads to the formation of binary and multiple star systems and rotating stars. Angular momentum is important in this analysis because the solar system formed from a rotating cloud in which the angular momentum was too great to form a single stable star and too small to result in a binary star system.
The hypothesis is that as the rotating cloud collapsed under gravity, it rotated faster and faster and a body of material (perhaps between a tenth and on hundredth of the mass of the sun) was spun off into space. This rotating mass then followed an elliptical trajectory spinning off the material that formed the planets.
I am looking for support or criticism of this proposal by ResearchGate members. It does depend on the recent evidence from the JWST which suggests that the Big Bang theory is wrong.
I will add links to the presentation in my first comment.

HECI will work on the basis of 4 vertices; Regulation, Accreditation, Funding and Academic Standards. What is your opinion about its future? Will it be successful? What will happen about NAAC and NBA? Who will be the boss?
I did 16srRNA sequencing (sangar platform) of PCR amplicons. Did trimming of forward and reverse chromatogram reads and merged them using HVDR Fragment Merger Tool using different parameters. With each parameter, I am getting a different BLAST result. Although the genus bacillus is the same at the species level. But sometimes it shows paralicheniformis, haynesii, piscis, sonorensis, and licheniformis. The Percentage, query coverage, and E value are exactly the same. It seems to be a conserved sequence but how can I proceed to identify it to species level.
Gibbons and various other people (including myself) claim that there is no higher force value than
c^4/4G = 3.0 * 10^43 N
and no higher power than
c^5/4G = 9.1 * 10^51 W
in any physical system in nature. Research so far has shown that boosts cannot help to exceed the limit, neither do black holes, nor quasars. In all cases explored so far, horizons, in combination with the proper dimension of the bodies involved, prevent exceeding the limits. Recent attempt to construct counter-examples, found on arxiv, have been shown to contain mistakes. The maximum power radiated from the brightest black hole mergers observed so far is about 200 times smaller than the limit. Even the highest electric or magnetic forces are much smaller. The limits also appear to be related to general relativity, so that higher values might be possible in alternative theories of gravity.
What counter-example or paradox comes to mind?
How could one try to achieve a larger force or power value?
Any suggestion is of interest. The question is interesting also for another reason: it resembles the question whether there is no higher speed that c = 3.0 * 10^8 m/s for physical systems.
Researching about Mergers and Acquisition in digital space
I am doing a Master's in Project Management. I am looking for a research topic. I have an interest in Mergers and Acquisitions, anything related to Investment Banking.
Kindly guide me in this.
Thanks/Regards,
While working with taxonomy of Indian Orchids in past two decades, I have witnessed many merger and splitting of genera mostly as a result of phylogenetic analysis mostly based on molecular evidences. The circumscription of larger genera like Bulbophyllum, Dendrobium etc. with wider morphological variability have been expanded with merger of well established smaller genera; whereas, genera like Eria, Habenaria etc. are being splitted with many combinations. The examples are unlimited, but everywhere the logic is to make the genera monophyletic. The problem in Vandaceous genera are even more inconsistent. The question is on the perception of the authors. When we have taxonomic hierarchy like sub-genus, Section, Sub-section etc. to fit all the heterogeneity, why not use them instead of creating many small, narrower genera or merging smaller ones into bigger genera with wider circumscription.
Close binary stars have been reported to produce red nova at times while they are merging.
Some classical observers reported Sirius as a red star, others reported a white star. Now it is definitely white. Popular explanations try to discount the red claims, not entirely satisfactorily.
Sirius B is reported to be one of the largest known white dwarfs. The possibility for a merger of close binaries in historical times might be considered. Then the claims of red colors could have a scientific basis. It leaves the problem of what a binary pair might have been like while in the main sequence.
Was Sirius B a Binary Pair Of White Dwarfs In Classical Times?
I am currently faced with the challenge to measure integration speed of an acquisition or a merger with secondary data. Usually companies do not communicate once a target has been integrated successfully. They only announce for instance that an M&A deal has been signed (this would be the starting date and easy to find online). However, how can I find out when the company was fully integrated? I am focusing on Dutch M&A deals and it seems that Dutch companies do not communicate about it much apart from when a deal has been signed. Sometimes it is possible to find out when a target ceased to exist but this too is quite difficult. I saw in most papers that surveys were used but due to my time constraint it is a too high risk to send out surveys to Dutch corporate M&A teams due to the high possibility of a low response rate. I also saw in one paper that they have used survival analysis. However, I could not make sense in that paper how they specifically calculated integration speed for each deal. If anyone has an idea or knows a paper that has done that with secondary data, I would appreciate any help.
I want to see whether CSR levels of firms affect merger returns and spreads. I am basing myself on two academic papers: Corporate social responsibility and M&A uncertainty (Arouri, 2019) andv Characteristics of Risk and Return ( Mitchell, 2001). I am struggling to fully understand how to add ESG scores into the model for arbitrage returns. If there is anyone with more experience willing to help I would highly appreciate this!
I am searching for information on global M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) figure for the dairy industry on an annual basis. It would also be helpful to know what are the FDI inflows and outflows for the Canadian dairy industry on an annual basis (2000 - 2016).
What kind of issues can appear in mergers related to concepts of knowledge applied in the cultures of the participants in a merger? How these issues have been encountered on the level of organizational development and learning? What kind of support can be offered to the students and personnel during and after the merger processes in the epistemological issues?
It can be argued, that there is no such thing as "neutral knowledge or information" in the context of a merger. Instead, the views of knowledge are based on the histories of institutions as well as on the backgrounds of personnel and students.

Mergers and Acquisitions have become very common these days..........Various companies are resorting to M&A due to various reasons. Very recently, we witnessed merger between Idea-Vodafone in order to tackle competition posed by Jio in the telecom industry in India.I want to discuss various aspects leading to or disrupting the process of value creation after the M&A. In fact, value creation will happen if the company delivers the right value to the customer. But sometimes, in some cases, it has also been noticed that the new potential market will see no clear benefits of the acquisition.
Hello all,
I am having troubles finding the list of merged companies in the UK between 2012 and 2018 in the UK. Most of the data I came across relates to acquisition, but for the purpose of a new study, I want to find the list of mergers only.
Thank you!
When the data is about the post merger bank ratios and pre merger bank ratios
How to test the normality
What test can be used to observe any difference in the post merger ratios
The scenario after merger/acquisition is unique at least for a limited period of time.I want to know about these post merger implications.
I am working on an internship where I need to identify and help solve issues that may arise during cross-cultural post merger integrations. First step at hand for my team is problem identification, which will then lead to questions about how to solve them. Looking for any guidance around the same! :)
As LIGO has observed a couple of massive stellar BH binary merger events, we guess there may exist unprecedent large number of BHs in the Universe. These BHs may have ionized their environment, with HII regions or positron-electron plasma around them (perhaps also caused by Penrose mechanism). So that we could observe such plasma wave or the excess of positron-electron produced by the BHs.
There are different formats for genetic data:
- VCF
- PLINK (map+ped or bim+bed+fam)
- EIGENSTRAT
Let we have 100 datasets with 500K SNPs (7-8M after imputation) and 1000 individuals in each dataset. For each dataset it could be its own set of SNPs.
What is the optimal format to store such data? What is the fastest tool to merge them and produce PCA plots?
Mergers and Takeovers have become a corporate necessity.However,various corporate governance issues may also require attention.What are these issues.
Based on my experience, most purchases or mergers of companies do not provide long-term value to the shareholders and customers of the organizations. In fact, there is value destruction and generally the expected synergies are difficult to materialize in terms of competitiveness, especially in the case of companies whose negotiating power in the M & A process is lower. Can you tell me your impressions about it?
Hi all,
I am currently writing a master thesis with the focus around handling of the target partner ecosystem in M&A / PMI.
Here I am aiming to show what the strategy and the planned steps are for integrating the target company´s partner ecosystem into the acquirer´s ecosystem.
I am planning on interviewing acquiring organization partner managers, target partner managers and the partners for feedback and will try to draw some conclusions for improvement of the approach. I am in the early phase of this thesis working on literature research.
Q: Do you know if there is any literature on merger integration aspects of software ecosystems? I am struggling to find anything out there.
Kind regards
Jamie Dowie
New materials are revolutionizing sectors as diverse as construction and communications. Advanced manufacturing technologies have altered long-standing patterns of productivity and employment. Improved air and sea transportation has greatly accelerated the worldwide flow of people and goods.
All this has both created and mandated greater interdependence among firms and nations. The rapid rate of innovation and the dynamics of technology flows mean that comparative advantage is short-lived. To maximize returns, arrangements such as transnational mergers and shared production agreements are sought to bring together partners with complementary interests and strengths. This permits both developed and developing countries to harness technology more efficiently, with the expectation of creating higher standards of living for all involved. Our results indicate that global distribution diminishes the chance of completing tasks on time and degrades subsystem design quality. can architectural innovation destroys the usefulness of a firm's firm's architectural knowledge but preserves the usefulness of its knowledge about the product's components?
Scientists and conceptual artist have long predicted technology will “invade” the body. It already has, with implants like pacemakers. Others will follow to enhance muscular or neural functions, and probably with AI.
This “merger” will also happen more broadly when AI becomes part of daily life. AI will be tailored to human needs as much as possible, but sometime humans will have to meet AI halfway. AI systems using voice recognition will ask us to articulate clearly.
AI systems rely on “hardware” (whether robots, autonomous cars, etc.), and all such systems will have to be treated within the boundaries in which they can operate. Human will have to learn what these boundaries are.
It will gradually appear to people that AI has a “soul” of its own that humans can learn to appreciate. The first indication came from Japan. The owners of the robotic pet Aibo gave their pets Buddhist burial rites when their Aibo reached the end of its serviceable life.
In the metabolomics study, how do the data collected by positive and negative ions are combined, is there a reference, especially the merger basis of Metabolon?
I am using a gravity model to study the impact of cultural differences on the total merger volume from country a to country b (in the 2000 till 2016). My dependent variable is the natural log of the total volume from country a to country b in year t. I want to add time fixed and country fixed effect. Also I want to double cluster the target and acquirer nations standard errors. My regression looks as follows;
ln(Total Volume)= a+ B(Cultural distance)+ ln(distance)+ ln(bilateral trade flow)+ other control variables+ time fixed effect+ target country fixed effects+ acquirer country fixed effects
I have made a panelid with the
egen CrossCountry=group(AcquirerNation TargetNation)
I am using stata and I have set my paneldata as follows;
xtset panelid year
I want to double cluster my standard error on the TargetNation and AcquirerNation to account for within country time-serie correlation. I was wondering if someone could help me out with this.

With the advent of molecular phylogenetics the name changes and Plant merger in a given year are almost equalling or even surpassing Plant Discoveries. We are getting comprehensive update of Discoveries with regard to Indian subcontinent through the excellent illustrated publication Plant Discoveries. However it is increasingly becoming difficult to keep track of name changes and merger, essential for taxonomic research, as the Indian authors are now publishing their research in very varied journals some of which do not give open access to the readers. Hence if a list of name changes and merger is appended in the book Plant Discoveries, this will be a real help to the Indian taxonomists.
Looking for information on the subsea/MFE industry for a project I am working on. Trying to better understand the supply chain, the major players, and where it's heading along with what drives the customer decision when selecting a vendor via the proposal/tender process. Also interested in alternatives to mass flow excavation.
Can anyone point me to a validated questionnaire I can use to get the team assess their new leadership post a merger event?
I need to request permission to use one for my dissertation which i need to finish in 3 months. Many thanks for your support.

A kilonova is a transient astronomical event that occurs in a compact binary system when two neutron stars or a neutron star and a black hole merge into each other. Kilonovae are thought to emit short gamma ray bursts and strong electromagnetic radiation due to the radioactive decay of heavy r-process nuclei that are produced and ejected fairly isotropically during the merger process.
All three mergers of black holes come with a signature bifurcation, can GTR explain this?
I was going through articles on M&A. Most of them do event study. We want to undertake long term (3 years before and 3 years after the acquisition) study of acquiring companies pre and post merger. Any suggestions?
I am currently looking for a model to implement in post merger integration for my dissertation. My current plan is to use Balanced Scorecard to implement post merger integration strategy.
Can someone please suggest me few post merger integration models?
thanks in anticipation.

I am looking for research on External corporate control such as takeover and mergers. How can you have such external control and put pressure on managers to work theoretically well and might be replaced in countries with high concentrated ownership along with lack of investor protection? Latest research trend on Mergers and acquisitions?
In recent times, researchers have been motivated to study the impact of mergers on corporate financing. The arguments establishing the relationship between mergers and corporate debt financing are convincing but it may be better to know specific theory or theories that explain the relationship. What theory explains the relationship between mergers and corporate debt financing? Please, identify such theory or theories (if any).
I believe that GW150914, registered by LIGO, appeared as a result of an earthquake in Turkey, which occurred on 09:35:43.8 UTC in the point (40°04'48"N, 28°33'36"E), located at a distance of 9881 km from Hanford, and 9978 km from Livingston, along the great-circle arc.
I do not cast any doubts on the high seismic noise immunity of the system, and the fact of short time change in the arms’ length of the interferometers. However, the physical reason of this effect remains doubtful, - was it a merger of binary black holes somewhere on the other side of the universe, or an impact of the seismic wave at our planet?
As is known, a seismic wave passing through the crust layers having different sound velocity, undergoes dispersion. As a result, the low frequencies are coming to the destination earlier than high frequences.
I consider that the seismic wave front may cause a real short-time fluctuation of the interferometer arm’s length. High-frequency components comprising seismic wave are being filtered out by measuring channel at the frequency range of 35-250 Hz. As a result, a transient pulse is being registered, which had a shape, similar to template of merging binary black holes.
The unknown distribution of the deep Earth's crust layers, as well as their respective sound velocities and propagation paths of the refracted seismic wave, as a result, may cause arrival of seismic wave fronts to Livingston and Hanford corresponding to the actual data obtained by LIGO group.
Are there any chances for the described situation to be plausible?
Kind regards, Ivan.
Currently I have found a lot of evidence of shareholder value creation in M&A deals in banking industry, however cannot find the papers on shareholder value creation for M&A in clothing/ apparel/ sporting good or consumer goods industry? Or if this paper doesnt exist, then generally for companies and industries and not for banks?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Currently I am working on research topic of shareholder's value creation in M&A deals for industrial companies. I am analyzing past M&A deals to understand if they were successful or not. The core research is to find out of similarities in those target companies which created positive CAR. The criteria of perfect target for M&A deal should be financial and strategic.
why do firms choose to exit or continue? How do they choose among different exit options? What theories have been used?
What are the main determinants of the decision in your mind? Do you think that premium 's cost or rapidity of realization are at stake? Do you know papers on that subject?
Do you measure these synergies on the stock -market with the run-up of the target company, and the less important move of the acquirer's stock price? do you add some of the mark-up if any? what are on the accounting side the indicators you would use to estimate synergies?
Please can anyone help me with theories or suggest articles that help me understand why most countries used merger (amalgamation) system of banks as a suitable banking sector reforms. I am trying to synthesis the models used by my country’s former Central bank governor (Charles C. Soludo), in the banking reformation.
I am currently gathering some reading materials and literature regarding the network industries for my thesis and I am intending to develop a model that could measure the consumer welfare before and after a merger or acquisition, specifically in the Telecommunications industry.
I'm wondering if there is any research about mergers decided by external stakeholders, such as the government.
