The dissertation examines the outcomes of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) for purchased firms and acquiring firms, presenting arguments in favour and against M&A, and seeking to identify whether M&A always improve financial performance of the companies involved. References are made to related economic theories and real-life scenarios. The methods of the research are based on the deductive approach to the proposed hypothesis and a case study of National Westminster Bank's (NatWest) acquisition by Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in 2000. Financial ratios and indicators before and after the merger are analyzed, M&A effect on shareholders' returns is evaluated. Conclusions are made about the benefits of the merger for the target company shareholders and for the acquiring company shareholders.
