Question

To get started, conduct a simple internet search to find an example of a recent merger or acquisition (within the

last 15 years). Limit your search to large and medium-sized companies. Once you have found an example, go to the Shapiro Library to find a scholarly article referencing the deal. 

In your initial post, share the link to the article with your classmates and then address the following:

• Identify the parties involved, and discuss the history and details of the deal.
• Locate the financial data. How was the valuation performed?How much was it worth?
• What was the stock price prior to and after the merger?
• Discuss the successful (and not-so-successful) aspects of the merger. Was the venture a success?

In your opinion, how could the mergers have been done differently? What did the companies do well? Where did they go wrong? Offer insights on how this module’s lessons can be applied to these individual cases.
