The study aims to understand the dynamics of major variables that impact on the success of mergers and acquisitions across industries from a corporate strategic perspective, to highlight the corporate strategy in achieving desired results from M&A activities, and in the light of the analysis develop strategic recommendations for companies that are considering M&A strategy to achieve desired effects.
