    CHAPTER ONE

  1.    INTRODUCTION

Growth is necessary to determine the performance and continual of any business organization. Without growth, a business can hardly attract good management to itself.

  The use of merger and acquisition as a growth and survival strategy in a depressed economy like ours appears to be on the increase in recent times. This is not surprising, considering the large number of business failures and foul-ups as result of advise micro and macro economic climate.

      In the face of such hostile business climate , however, some business organization that belongs to the ``wise group’’ started thinking of how to pull their resource together by the way of merger and acquisition as a survival cum growth strategy.

    Business merger and acquisition has played  ad important role in the growth and survival of many firms in Europe, USA, and Nigeria. But  before venturing into such a gargantuan adventure, financial managers should view it as organization or employers.

  1. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

In the high of the confusion and tumults of the modern business environment globally, some firms have flooded up while other only managed to keep afloat. It is but interesting to observe that in the midst of such unfavorable business environment, some enterprises do not merely survive but post super profit. The logical question is what factors could account for the divergent fortunes  of some firm of identical size and status in the same industry and operating in the same economy?

    While not pretending to have all the answers, I make bold to state, that business merger and acquisition has become one of the fashionable surviving strategy for many companies.

   It  is therefore, the intension of the study to investigate the effect merger and acquisition on the performance some selected companies in Nigeria.

Further more the study will also seek to establish any possible relationship as otherwise between profitability of a company or increase in its earning per share and its merger and or acquisition scheme.

At this junction, it may be pertinent to acknowledge the view of some expects that many business fusion and acquisition had often resulted in disappointment, as the profit level of the business organization took a nose dive. Should this be the organization wishing to diversity or expand its operation would be compelled to seek out any ailing firm with suitable production plant and technology as well as good distribution network.

   For the purpose of the study three public limited liability company have been selected, namely.

  1. John Holt plc
  2. Unilever Nigeria plc
  3. Nigeria bottling company plc

 

  1.   PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The study is a deliberate effort to enquire into the effect of business merger and acquisition strategy on the performance of the above selected Nigeria firm. The purpose of the studies also includes:

  1. to find out whether the profitable of the companies  are dependent on or independent on merger and acquisition.
  2. To ascertain whether the employees of the companies have improved since the adoption of merger and acquisition
  3. To find out whether the earning per share of the companies have improved since the adoption of merger and acquisition
  4. To ascertain whether the increment of the  companies market share are due toi the adoption of merger and acquisition.

 

  1. SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY

With the recent increase in the incident of investigation and bankruptcy of company together with dwindling  economic situation of the country, there is need for the examination of the effect of business merger and acquisition in the performance of Nigeria business organization. It is however believed that with the study of the companies that are involved in the strategy as a means of survival, one would be able to assess the profitability of the strategy being widely adopted in the Nigeria business environment as a survival cum growth strategy. It is in the light of the foregoing that the subject of this study is considered very significant.

  1. SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF STUDY

It is very important to acknowledge the fact that the study is restricted to the three (3) companies earlier mentioned. Hence the researcher will base his conclusion (s) on the findings from such a few numbers out of many similar companies in the country.

Further to the above restriction is the problem of lack of eleventh  materials such as annual reports of some of the companies under study from their corporate head quarters or from the corporate affairs commission .

Finally, time posed yet another constraint. Time and energy and also finance. With these entire problems not withstanding, it is hoped that the study will satisfy its objectives.
