The relevance of our presentation is that in the period spanning from 2019 to 2022,
more than 3,000
mergers and acquisitions (abbrev.M&A) have taken place in Central Europe.
We have collected M&A deals in Central European countries from a database. We start
our research
with a descriptive statistical analysis to give a general picture of these transactions.
The backbone of
our work is the financial analysis, relying on the financial ratios of the acquiring
companies. Our main
research questions are: Company managers need to focus on maximising shareholder value
not only
in their operations but also in their strategic decisions. How have the value generators
evolved? Have
the acquisitions developed the financial health of the company in the years of COVID-19?
Our research
is aimed at answering these key questions by analysing the database.
