The Search for Growth: Mergers and Acquisitions

In: Strategic Logic

Abstract

The explosion in the volume and value of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in the 1990s has become commonplace in the comments in the economic and business press. The impression that we often get is that there are more and more companies merging and that companies in general are becoming bigger and bigger. The data, of course, backs up this impression: as Figure 7.1 shows us, M&A activity has increased enormously in recent years, only to taper off recently because of the drop in the world stock markets from 2001 on.
