The differences between friendly and hostile takeovers are detailed, along with the different theories surrounding mergers and motives. The benefits and costs of M&A’s are discussed along with the theory of merger waves. Legal-cum-regulatory frameworks are discussed as well as tactics and strategies of takeovers. The tactics examined include defensive, pre-offer, and post offer tactics, and the paper then evaluates the case study of Kraft’s takeover of Cadbury.
