Measuring the Performance of Merger Operations

Measuring the performance of external growth operations is important information because it allows to justify whether or not to undertake such operations. A few questions arise in this regard. What is performance and how do we measure it? Are there types of operations that perform better than others? The aim of the research is to determine the factors that influence the performance of mergers and acquisitions, discovered in reference publications in the field, with the help of SPSS 20.0. The low value creation found is more beneficial to the shareholders of the target company than to those of the companies initiating the operations. The observed results differ greatly depending on the fields of activity, the type of operation and other factors.
