The dissertation looks at international mergers and acquisition (M&A) investigating whether shareholders of bidding or target companies benefit most from the deal. The review of literature touches on M&A theory analysing the motives for M&A from synergetic, strategic, operational and other perspectives, the impacts of M&A on companies involved, the factors affecting shareholder returns, types of bids, etc. A study is conducted of M&A in French companies over the period of 2002-2005 using the methods of quantitative statistic research to identify cumulative abnormal returns observed in the studied period. Conclusions are made about short-term, middle-term and long-term impacts of M&A on the French bidder and target firms engaged in domestic and international merger operations.
