▼ Real options refer to the investment, entry, exit and other strategic decisions of the firm that share three important characteristics: they are irreversible, they are made under uncertainty, and their timing is chosen by the firm. The term `real options' was introduced in 1977 by Stewart Myers in his paper `Determinants of corporate borrowing' that related risky debt holdings to the future investment policy of the firm. The literature on real options has since been active and growing with seminal works by Brennan and Schwartz (1985) on the valuation and optimal timing of the natural resource investments; McDonald and Siegel (1986) on general approach to investment timing and scrapping; Margrabe (1978) on the asset exchange options; Fudenberg and Tirole (1985) on the preemption and equilibrium in the technology adoption games; Pindyck (1988) on capacity choice, and Kulatilaka and Perotti (1998) on strategic growth options under imperfect competition. In the 1990's and 2000's, a number of classical textbooks in real options appeared in print: Dixit and Pindyck (1994), Trigeorgis (1996), Amram and Kulatilaka (1998), and Vollert (2003). In its development the real options literature combines the option pricing framework introduced in Black and Scholes (1973) and Merton (1973) with the research in the specific fields of economics and finance such as capital budgeting and investment policy, corporate debt and agency problems, mergers & acquisitions or game theory. The present work illustrates the application of the real options approach to three economic areas: strategic competition, mergers & acquisitions and international trade. The first chapter discusses the optimal timing of the technology adoption, entry and merger decisions in the industry producing a vertically differentiated product. I solve the model for the monopoly, duopoly and merger (which is equivalent to a monopoly with two products) and outline the equilibrium strategies of the Incumbent and the Entrant. In particular, I demonstrate that the Incumbent under the threat of entry always invests in the cost-reducing technology later as compared to the no-threat-of-entry (monopoly) case. This results in the lower option value to the Incumbent under duopoly. The monopolistic problem is investigated using two alternative specifications for the price of the new technology: in the first case, the price of the technology is constant, whereas in the second, more general case, the price of the new technology is increasing in the amount of cost reduction it provides. I demonstrate that the increasing investment cost (price of the technology) makes the Incumbent postpone the technology adoption as compared to the constant price situation. Besides, increasing investment cost reduces the option value to the Incumbent. I demonstrate that the merger generates the endogenous synergy in this model. I prove that the merger may not only increase the option value to the Incumbent as compared to the monopoly case, but it may also give the Entrant the opportunity to finally enter… Advisors/Committee Members: Adesi, Giovanni (Dir.).

An inside information is the knowledge of material corporate facts not blicly disclosed permitting an insider to make a personal, inequitableprofit by dealing in the securities of a company.Disclosure is necessary to enable the general public to trade on an equal basis. Insider trading regulations containing disclosure requirements, trading prohibitions and sanctions are designed to balance the interestes of investors and insiders.The Anerican solution dominated by two statutory provisions and elaborate jurisdiction. The Canadian federal and provincial statutes provide detailed and advanced resulations. The British jurisdiction ap)lies the principle of fiduciary duty supplemeteci by some statutory provisions of the Companies Acts and the City Code on Take-Gvers and mergers,a voluntary solution. The Jest-Gerruan Insider trading Guidelines are also based on a voluntary agreeement of the parties involved. The purpose of this research is to compare how these considerably different systems are dealing with common problems.

L'information d'initie est la connaissance des faits corporatifs matériels, qui ne sent pas connus au public et utilises par l'initie pour faire un profit injuste personnel l'occasion d'une transaction sur les actions de sa corporation. Leur divulgation est nécessaire pour permettre au public de conclure un marché sur une base égale. Les règlementations des transactions d'initie, lesquelles contiennent des prescriptions de rapport, des prohibitions de transactions d'initie et des sanctions sont destinées a mettre sur un pied d’égalité les intérêts des investisseurs et des inities. La solution Américaine est gouvernée par deux lois principales et possède un vaste champ d'application. Les statuts fédéraux et provinciaux Canadiens sent détaillés et tellement modernes. La jurlsdiction Anglaise fait usage du principe du devoir fiduciaire, lequel est complète par quelques provisions des Compagnies Acts et du City Code on Take-Overs and Mergers, qui est une règlementation volontaire. Les directives Allemandes sont aussi fondées sur un accord volontaire des parties concernées. L'intention de cette recherche est d'établir une comparaison de ces systèmes différents et de leurs solutions des mêmes problèmes fondamentaux.

▼ The study sought to find out the effect of mergers and acquisitions and acquisitions on shareholder‟s value on commercial banks in Kenya. The objective of the study was to establish the effect of mergers and acquisitions on shareholder‟s value. The purpose of this study is to establish effect of mergers and acquisitions on shareholder‟s value in commercial banks in Kenya. The population comprised of 36 commercial banks that have undertaken mergers and acquisitions merged in the period 2002to 2013 in Kenya. The sample comprised of six bank institutions that had undertaken mergers and acquisitions by the year 2013. They included Kenya Commercial Bank, Equatorial Commercial Bank, CFC Stanbic Bank Ltd, Prime Bank Limited, Commercial bank of Africa Limited, and Co-operative Bank Limited. The study used secondary sources of data from the audited annual reports of accounts for the respective banks over the period. Financial data from Statement of financial position, Statement of comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flow of the respective commercial banks for three years before and after the mergers was used to calculate and analyze the profitability ROE, ROA and EPS) from the published financial Statements and reports for the merged banks for the period under study. The paper attempted a comparative analysis of the impact of pre-merger and post-merger on shareholder‟s wealth of selected banks in Kenya. This was done using chi-square analysis where it‟s compared if there is any significant difference accruing to efficiency in terms of Return on Assets, Return on Equity and Earnings per share. The collected data were analyzed using t - test statistic at 5% level of significant with the aids of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 17 which is an improvement on the ordinary student t-test as used by the t -test statistic formula The results showed an enhanced performance leading to improved shareholder‟s wealth .Using chi-square analysis, the study established that following the merger or the acquisition, the Returns on Assets, Earnings per share and Returns on equity both improved as the assets of the company improved after the mergers and acquisitions. The study recommends that companies undergoing difficult times should resort to mergers and acquisitions to increase their profitability leading to maximization of shareholder‟s valu

▼ This thesis examines the organisation of firms under various circumstances Endogenous mergers in an international context In a two country model where firms vary in their production efficiency, amodel of endogenousmergers is developed to examine equilibriummerger configurations and their welfare implications. In autarky, it is found that profitable mergers are welfare decreasing. On the other hand, in the presence of international trade in goods, domestic mergers increase welfare in a country as long as the country is not too large or the country has all the most efficient firms. Cross-border mergers result in the two most efficient firms acquiring all other firms and only increase welfare in the relatively small country. Mergers in a mixed oligopoly Potential mergers among a high cost public firm and two low cost private firms are examined. Mergers can either involve two firms merging with a share of ownership or one firmpurchasing the other through a lumpsum payment. It is shown that two private firms having the same costs do not merge, regardless of the merger type. However, a potential merger between a public and a private firm is possible depending on the marginal cost of the merged firm and the cost difference between the public and private firm. The role of intermediaries in the choice between outsourcing and ver- tical integration Within an incomplete contracts framework, this chapter examines how firms choose to organise their production – to internally produce the intermediate inputs through vertical integration, or to engage in arm’s-length viii transactions either directly with the input suppliers or through intermediary firms. Themodel suggests that the firm’s choice depends on the relative intensity of headquarter services and intermediate inputs in the final good, as well as the elasticity ofmarket demand for the final good. In particular, it is found that an intermediary firm is used when the final-good production is very intermediate-input intensive and the final-goods market demand is relatively elastic.

▼ The general findings of the merger literature have raised the question of why mergers continue to be so prevalent when there is no conclusive evidence of value gains. In particular, the zero or even negative stock price reaction of the acquirer firm surrounding the announcement has been puzzling. In order to provide insight into this apparent contradiction, this study examines the sources and the realization of synergistic gains from mergers and acquisitions more directly. Prior studies on the sources of synergy have not been very effective since the nature of the data may have obscured the true economic impact of mergers. Using the rich information gained from the U.S. hotel industry data from 1991 to 2009, this study investigates the sources of merger-related gains while controlling for the market condition. Along the way, the much-neglected area of value erosion from M&A is also addressed. The findings indicate that at the hotel property level, both the target and the acquirer show significant cost savings; target hotel properties achieve price gains when they are merged into similar brand families of the acquirer; acquirer hotel properties gain occupancy improvements from the demand spillover from the target hotel properties. The study also finds that local market conflicts have a negative impact on the revenue of both target and acquirer properties. No evidence was found for price-increasing collusion among the properties of the target and the acquirer. The investigation of the offer premium and the operating performance shows that the offer premium is positively associated with synergistic gains for the acquirer properties while it is non-significant for the target properties. These results suggest an interesting possibility that the premium may actually be a price to gain control over the target's resources, which is critical to generating value on the acquirer side.

▼ This dissertation contains two essays on hedge fund investment. In the first I study the implementation of risk (or merger) arbitrage by hedge funds and other institutional arbitrageurs and document the increasing role of hedge funds in the takeover process. I find evidence of superior performance by hedge fund arbitrageurs compared to non-hedge fund institutional arbitrageurs. Specifically, within merger arbitrage, hedge funds significantly outperform other institutional arbitrageurs by 4% annually on a risk-adjusted basis. The superior performance does not reflect hedge fund managers' ability to predict or affect the outcome of merger and acquisition deals; rather, my findings suggest that it is attributed to hedge fund managers' ability to avoid deals with the largest downside when deals are withdrawn. Hedge fund and non-hedge fund investments in target shares are both associated with a higher probability of deal completion and shorter deal duration. I also study the relationship between hedge funds and investment banks within the context of mergers and acquisitions, and find that when hedge funds' prime brokers also serve as advisors in merger deals, hedge funds are significantly more likely to invest in risk arbitrage. This is consistent with an information updating model of risk arbitrage investment. I also find that hedge funds are willing to invest in deals that appear to bear greater idiosyncratic risk when their prime brokers are advisors in the deals. I find that hedge funds only outperform when their prime brokers work as advisors in deals. There is evidence that hedge funds are using their relationships with investment banks to gain informational advantages, while investment banks are incentivized by large hedge fund brokerage fees, and the desire for increased presence of arbitrageurs in merger deals, which increases their expected completion fees from merger advisory roles.

▼ The market has become very dynamic, influenced by a myriad of factors; wars, immigration, economic booms, recessions, globalization and technological advancement. Due to these global trends, Nations and organizations are continuously adopting new ways of doing business to counter threats as well as exploit new opportunities. Among those corporate strategic approaches taken by firms are mergers and acquisition. A merger is said to occur when two or more corporations come together to form one entity. On the other hand acquisition refers to the process in which a business entity purchases a majority or a minority stake in another firm. In either of the cases the outcome is rapid expansion in proportion of the new firm. Studies by various scholars have given diverse results for post-merger performance of acquiring firms. Among the reasons why corporations seek inorganic growth through mergers and acquisition are; to attain reduced risk, improve entry within the markets as a result of enhanced size, or make use of tax carried forward as a gain, enjoy economy of scale through cost reduction, enjoy market power through bigger market share. Corporations may also engage in mergers and acquisition as defensive mechanisms to avoid being acquired or for managers to attract takeover premia after acquisition. The key objective of this study was to examine the influence of mergers and acquisitions on financial results in insurance firms in Kenya between 2000 and 2015. The study took a causal research design and covered three years premerger and three years‟ post-merger. The researcher used financial ratios ROA and ROE as well as industry specific ratios such as claims ratio and management expense ratio. Both trend and cross sectional analysis were carried out. Pre-merger results of the merged firms were compared with post-merger results to determine if there was any change and in which direction. In addition the results of the merged firms were compared with the whole industry to determine if merged firms performed better or worse than the industry average. The results indicated a marginal drop in the short run in ROA and ROE for the merged firms. Further there was an increase in industry specific ratios; claims ratio and management expenses ratio. Based on the research findings there was increased market share for the post-merger period. The research recommends careful planning and implementation of mergers and acquisition so as to attain full benefits on all fronts.

▼ A Merger refers to the combination of two or more firms, in which the resulting firm maintains the identity of one of the firms, usually the larger. An acquisition, also known as a takeover or a buyout, is the buying of one company (the ‘target’) by another. The study set out to find the effects of mergers and acquisition on financial performance of oil industry in Kenya. This study took on a causal research design. Causal research design is consistent with the study’s objective which is to determine the effect of mergers and acquisition on financial performance of oil industry in Kenya which can be measured through long-run profitability, leverage and liquidity. Gay and Airasian (2003) note that causal research designs are used to determine the causal relationship between one variable and another .Population is a well defined set of people services, elements, events, group of things or household that are being investigated. In this study the target population was the oil companies in Kenya with keen interest on those that have gone through mergers and acquisition. The process of data collection involved self administered drop and pick questionnaires distributed to management and employees of the oil industries involved. The use of audited accounts enhanced the data received from respondents .Qualitative analysis was used to analyze the views of respondents on mergers and acquisition. Also Chi-Square test was used to establish the relationship between pre and post merger/acquisition and linear regression model enhanced the analyses of the effects of merger and acquisition on financial performance. According to the findings, majority of these companies were established through mergers rather than acquisition. Also according to the model, mergers and acquisition, respondent Opinion about M & A, and financial performance were positively correlated with financial performance after merger. A unit increase in mergers and acquisition would lead to increase in application of financial performance by factor of 0.166.This was a clear indication of the firms performing better financially after the resulting merger and/or acquisition. Also the findings concludes that creation of economies of scale, need to gain a higher bargaining power, and business expansions are the main reasons as to why companies conduct M & A. The study also concludes that despite the process of M & A being smooth and the management orientation remaining the same, still uncertainty and confusion among the employees persist The study further conclude that merger and acquisition would lead to a high positive performance (p = 0.02).. Based on the findings the study recommends that there is need for companies to merge to enhance creation of economies of scale, a higher bargaining power, and business expansions.

▼ The development in the Higher Education (HE) sector has for the past decade been characterized by structural changes in form of government-initiated mergers. The aim of such structural changes was to enhance the quality by concentrating the resources in fewer but stronger institutions. The signals from the Ministry of Education and Research about such changes was the start of a wave of mergers in the sector, which over a few years resulted in a decrease in the number of Higher Education Institutions (HEI) from 33 to 21. However, not all of the negotiation processes about potential mergers turned out to be successful. This thesis is a comparative case study that is looking at the decision-making process, and what may have influenced this, towards a decision not to merge. The cases in this study is the negotiations between University of Agder (UiA) and Telemark University College (HiT) and the University of Stavanger (UiS) and Stord/Haugesund University College (HSH). The cases are quite similar when it comes to size and regional standing, but the processes differ in form of time-frame and involvement of internal and external stakeholders. The University Boards were divided in their opinions during the processes but ended in a unanimous vote in the last extra ordinary board meeting. Something has happened during the processes and this study aim to identify critical events and stakeholders that have affected the decision-makers´ decision to terminate the process and by that stand alone in a time of mergers. The following research question is formulated: Which critical events and stakeholders has affected the decision-making process in the merger negotiations at the University of Agder and the University of Stavanger? In order to identify such events and stakeholders, I have conducted interviews from representatives in the University Boards at the time of the merger process and conducted a document analysis as a tool in order to be able ask the right questions and to strengthen the information received from the interview. This has formed the base for a process tracing methodology. The theoretical framework is built on two theoretical pillars: decision-making theory and stakeholder theory. Decision-making theory centre around organizational characteristics that may have an impact on how an organization make decisions. These characteristics further form the base for five decision- making models. The second pillar is stakeholder theory, which is important for identifying stakeholders that are important to an organization and how important they are in order to a stakeholder hierarchy. The empirical data show that the theoretical pillars are quite overlapping as stakeholders have an impact on the perspectives that is characterising the organizational decision-making. The findings also indicate the two processes are quite similar in the beginning of the processes when it comes to who and what have influenced the merger initiate, but that the organizations further have quite different approaches towards the…

▼ This dissertation consists of three essays on mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and corporate investment. In the first essay, I examine the divergence of investor opinions about target firm values after the announcement of M&A deals ("investor disagreement"). I create three measures of investor disagreement using the target firm's trading volume, bid-ask spread, and stock return volatility during a two-week window following a deal announcement. I find that investor disagreement is positively associated with deal complexity, and negatively with the offer premium. Deals with larger investor disagreement are more likely to be renegotiated, to feature slower completion time, and to fail, even after controlling for announcement returns and merger arbitrage spreads. Consistent with the divergence of opinion theory, a trading strategy that invests in target firms with low investor disagreement yields positive abnormal returns. Overall, my results highlight the importance of investor disagreement in predicting M&A outcomes. The second essay shows that M&A deals that are announced when the bidder's relative value (ratio of bidder's equity value to target's equity value) is closer to its 52-week high feature higher offer premium, lower (higher) announcement returns for the bidding (target) firm, and are more likely to fail, all else equal. Yet, bidders in such deals also experience large abnormal returns in the two-year period surrounding the announcement. Our results suggest that bidders strategically choose announcement timing to exploit relative misvaluation, and cast doubt on the idea that announcement returns represent the gains to long-term shareholders of bidding firms. In the third essay, I examine how the effect of uncertainty on capital investment varies between focused firms and conglomerate segments. One of the advantages of conglomeration is that segments have access to the conglomerate's internal capital market and are thus less likely to be financially constrained. Consistent with the idea that uncertainty exacerbates financial frictions, I find that industry-level uncertainty has a negative effect on the investment of focused firms but has no statistically significant effect on the investment of conglomerate segments. Further analysis suggests that corporate diversification may improve the efficiency of capital investment decisions under uncertainty.

Economies and efficiencies of scale serve as drivers of Canadian Credit Union mergers. The critical success factors of merger initiatives are largely driven by the internal human resources of each entity; however, this critical component of the process is often neglected or apportioned an inappropriate degree of consideration. As a result, employees are frequently not fully engaged or supportive because the tenets of their psychological contracts are not always met and their perceptions of organizational justice and organizational communication are not positive. This potentially impacts the level of organizational trust that results in either merger success or failure, especially in relation to employee impact and employee engagement. In order for Credit Union mergers to succeed, employees must be positioned to buy in to the change process to the point where they embrace and champion merger and its benefits. The purpose of this research study was to examine those factors that influence employees’ perceptions regarding Credit Union merger processes, specifically relating to the importance of their engagement and support. As both successful and less than successful or marginally successful mergers are being examined, it is suggested that the successful firm has good engagement and support. More specifically, the impact of organizational trust was studied in relation to employees’ trust in senior leadership and senior leaderships’ perceived perception of trust in subordinate employees. These significant factors, studied from the perspective of antecedents, dimensions and outcomes of organizational trust, lent support to a proposed foundation to examine their impact on employee engagement and merger success. Deficiencies in these areas were identified and recommendations made to address them. It was proposed that timeliness of employee integration be considered critical in developing the appropriate support framework required for Credit Union merger success, recognizing that financial and logistical considerations invariably dictate decision processes.

Mergers continue to increase globally. Leaders have a critical role in the success of those mergers based on the practices that they employ during this change phenomenon. This study examines leadership practices within a financial organization during a merger and explores how these practices influence the merger. This study also identifies challenges faced by organizations during the merger process. During this qualitative study, interviews were conducted with 17 leaders to understand what leaders do in times of mergers. Through their stories, they identified leadership practices and described how these practices influenced the merger process. Seven leadership themes emerged from the data including: (a) Providing Strategic Vision, (b) Utilizing Effective Communication, (c) Creating a Positive Organizational Culture, (d) Commitment to Fairness, (e) Effective Negotiation and Conflict Resolution, (f) Problem Solving and Decision Making, and (g) Managing Change and the Unknown. The interviews also provided insights into some of the challenges faced by organizations before, during, and after a merger. A conceptual model grounded in theory helped guide the study. Although the body of literature regarding mergers continues to grow, there has been limited examination about the influence of leadership practices before, during, and after a merger. This study adds to the research literature in two ways. First, it has made a new contribution as academic research dealing with financial institutions and specifically the co-operative movement. Secondly, this study also builds on some of the scholarly work related to the leadership practices as they relate to creating a vision, creating a positive culture, effective communication, commitment to fairness, problem solving and decision making, effective negotiation, and managing change.

▼ Colombia's telecommunication industry has changed drastically in the last decade. Among the most salient events, a series of mergers between some of the industry's largest providers which resulted in a reduced number of competitors. One would expect that this reduction in the number of competitors would translate into higher prices. However, competition is at such high level that the media even talk about a "price war". My dissertation aims to shed light on the causes of this apparent inconsistency between a smaller number of competitors and more competitive outcomes. I start by showing that, in effect, the latest of these mergers, the one between Comcel and Telmex, had a pro-competitive effects on the provision of broadband. Next I show that the services provided by Comcel and Telmex were complements and that the pro-competitive effects of the merger can be explained by this complementarity. Finally, I study the effects of price discrimination under oligopolistic competition. In chapter 1 I assess the ex-post short-run effect on broadband provision of the Comcel-Telmex merger. Employing administrative data about the universe of plans and firms providing wired telecom services, I use several difference-in-difference specifications to obtain estimates for the effect of the merger on price and download speeds of plans provided by the merging firm and its rivals. My estimates suggest that, in markets affected by the merger, download speeds rose by .6 Megabits per second on average. The average increase in the markets resulted from increases in the plans offered by the merging firm (1.2 Mbps) and increases in the speeds of plans provided by its rivals (.5 Mbps). In chapter 2 I study mergers of firms producing complementary goods. Mergers of firms producing complementary products have ambiguous effects on consumer welfare. The merged firm may lower prices because the merger internalizes the profits originated by the complementarity. But with the merger the firm gains the ability to bundle and with bundles the firm can exert price discrimination, increasing the prices of standalone products. I employ a comprehensive, administrative data set, which records prices, market shares, and plan attributes of the universe of Colombia’s telecom carriers, to assess which effect dominates. I estimate a random-coefficient discrete choice model of consumer demand model for bundled and standalone telecom products, in which the degree of substitutability or complementarity among products is an essential parameter of interest. I find that major telecom products display a mix of substitutability and complementarity, but in general hardwired and mobile services are perceived as complements by Colombian households. My counterfactual experiments using the estimated model, indicate positive net effects of mergers with complements: despite a small increase in the price of standalone goods, consumer surplus increases by around 7 million dollars per quarter. Finally, in chapter 3, I study price discrimination in an oligopolistic setting.

In the present study we examined the reasons that can lead a company in a merger decision, the legal framework governing the merger and acquisitions, according to both the Greek and International Law and the results achieved on the undertakings concerned. The study was divided into three stages. In the first stage, we approached conceptual M & Α, we recorded how development companies and highlighted the importance and types of M & A. After a brief historical overview of the phenomenon of M & A, both in Greece and internationally, we examined the motivations, ways of avoiding, conditions and inhibiting factors for the implementation of M & A. Then, we studied the institutional context of M & A in Greece. We recorded in detail both legally defined procedures and accounting merger procedures for all types of mergers. In the next stage, we examined the methods for assessing the value of the company and the basic process governing M & A companies under the accounting science.In the last stage, we examined the efficiency evaluation methodologies for M & A.

Με τη παρούσα μελέτη εξετάσαμε τους λόγους που μπορεί να οδηγήσουν μια επιχείρηση σε μια απόφαση συγχώνευσης , το νομικό πλαίσιο που διέπει την διαδικασία συγχώνευσης και εξα-γοράς επιχειρήσεων, με βάση τόσο την Ελληνική όσο και τη Διεθνή Νομοθεσία και τα αποτελέσματα που θα επιφέρει στις εμπλεκόμενες επιχειρήσεις. Η μελέτη χωρίζεται σε τρία στάδια. Κατά το πρώτο στάδιο, προσεγγίσαμε εννοιολογικά τις Σ & Ε, καταγράψαμε τους τρόπους ανάπτυξης των εταιρειών και επισημάναμε την σπουδαιό-τητα και τα είδη Σ & Ε. Μετά από μία σύντομη ιστορική αναδρομή του φαινομένου των Σ & Ε τόσο στην Ελλάδα όσο και σε διεθνές ε-πίπεδο, εξετάστηκαν τα κίνητρα, οι τρόποι αποφυγής, οι προϋπο-θέσεις και οι ανασταλτικοί παράγοντες για την υλοποίηση των Σ & Ε. Στην συνέχεια, μελετήθηκε το θεσμικό πλαίσιο των Σ & Ε στην Ελλάδα. Καταγράφηκαν αναλυτικά τόσο οι εκ του νόμου οριζόμενες διαδικασίες όσο και οι λογιστικές διαδικασίες συγχώνευσης για όλες τις μορφές συγχωνεύσεων. Στο επόμενο στάδιο, εξετάστηκαν οι μέθοδοι εκτίμησης της αξίας της επιχείρησης και η βασική διαδι-κασία που διέπει τις Σ & Ε εταιρειών με βάση τη λογιστική επιστή-μη. Στο τελευταίο στάδιο, εξετάστηκαν οι μεθοδολογίες αξιολόγησης της αποδοτικότητας των Σ & Ε.

Colleges and universities have faced tough decision-making, particularly when it comes to allocating resources to balance effectiveness and efficiency. Many institutions of higher education in the United States and abroad have begun to look for alternative policy solutions to increase both effectiveness and efficiency in an effort to save resources and increase their competitive advantage through mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Enhanced effectiveness can create more robust and competitive programs that will improve educational outcomes, and increased efficiency can condense duplicative programs and services, refine resource allocation, and reduce overall costs. My review of higher education mergers indicates that a comprehensive evaluation of any merger or acquisition in United States’ higher education has not been conducted in recent years. A major feature of this research is conducting an outcomes assessment which doesn’t appear to have been done with other higher education M&As. The Rutgers-UMDNJ integration has many outcomes that require evaluation to better guide policymakers, colleges, and universities about their decisions and practices regarding higher education mergers and acquisitions. The primary purpose of this study was to provide a framework for how to evaluate a higher education M&A, with a special emphasis on examining outcome trajectories. Although it may be too soon to evaluate the long-term benefits or the costs of the Rutgers-UMDNJ integration, an interim evaluation of the intended goals can help determine whether the integration has facilitated any noticeable changes three years after its implementation. Moreover, the implications for future program implementation of mergers and acquisitions in institutions of higher education can be guided and assessed through this research. The reasons, design, implementation, effectiveness, and efficiency of the Rutgers-UMDNJ integration were evaluated. The implementation assessment revealed that the integration was implemented with fidelity to the design. The effectiveness and efficiency assessments both revealed that small and sluggish progress had been made, notably the SAT scores at the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) and Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy (Pharm) had increased post-integration. But, many of the outcomes have yet to be fully realized three years post-integration. Limitations in this study include expanding the number and types of individuals interviewed, the inability to evaluate graduate student admissions and human resources data, and the lack of a collaborative research database pre-integration. Future evaluation of this case in another 5-7 years, which would be approximately 10 years post-integration, is suggested.
