An attempt to determine the reasons for a failed M & A transaction on the example of Daimler and Chrysler

Summary/Abstract: Mergers and acquisitions are still an attractive strategy for creating new business entities and forms that yield benefits. Although their number has significantly decreased in recent years compared to the first decade of the 21st century, statistical data are readily accessible in the relevant literature. The primary aim of this article is to analyse a failed takeover, using the case study of Daimler and Chrysler, along with the reasons for failure and their underlying determinants. The secondary objectives are to define the basic concepts related to mergers and acquisitions, explore the patterns of their formation, assess the consequences of creating a new economic entity in the manner discussed in the article, and classify the typology of capital groups. The article consists of an introduction, a theoretical section detailing the emergence of business entities through mergers and acquisitions, an empirical section analysing the failure of the Daimler-Chrysler merger, and conclusions. The article’s added value lies in the opportunity to extend research into the analysis of other economic entities in the manner proposed by the author. The research methods used in the article include literature analysis and critique, as well as financial statement analysis of the discussed entities.
