“MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS OF BANKS”
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Mergers and acquisitions are one of the popular topics in business today, since they characterize the new economy: pressure of global competition, development of technology and disappearance of country boundaries. The purpose of this project is to study how mergers and acquisitions affect the share prices of the acquirer bank. We have taken up seven banks as a part of our case study analysis and have made an attempt to study the share price pattern of Transferee Banks before and after merger on a monthly basis by drawing out graphs and using correlation and regression.
