Resource redeployment following horizontal acquisitions in Europe and North America, 1988-1992
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine resource redeployment between acquired and acquiring firms after going through horizontal mergers and acquisitions. Data from 253 mergers and acquisitions in the timeframe covering 1988 to 1992 between manufacturing companies in the same industry were applied to a five-part typology of financial, managerial, manufacturing, marketing and R&D resources. Findings revealed that targets and acquirers commonly redistribute resources post horizontal acquisitions, particularly those resources that are typically exposed to market failure. The intensity of redeployment of each resource type was shown to rise with the asymmetry of the relative strength of the merging organizations in terms of resources.
