Ans 1:- The teacher will begin by describing the winner's course principle and the executiveincentive. The following are all definitions.Winner's Curse: A condition known as a curse for the winner may arise during mergers andacquisitions of companies, where the bidder could lose, no matter how promising thecircumstances may appear at present. This theory suggests that the winning party appears toover-value the auctioned items and puts out an unrealistic deal, offering a lot more than the realvalue of the asset, as stated by Nikhil Varaiya. While the value of an auctioned asset will beidentical to each bidder, it is impossible to assess the true value of the asset.Varaiya says that three conditions must be fulfilled for the winner's curse to apply:Each bidder 's value calculation is impartial.The exactness of each bidder's average value calculation is the same.The positioning of each deal generates a positive value estimation function.In this case, the one with the highest quote is efficient if both parties follow the same biddingtechnique. The winning bid, though, would well outweigh the true worth of the item beingauctioned. The victorious party then brands the over-estimated price value as a curse of thewinner.The winner's curse theory does not reflect a stand-alone factor; it is usually a branch or a productof a composite composite of the respective offeror that, despite warnings, clouds judgment andsensitivity of the bidder. Hubris continues to influence the CEO and senior management involvedin a merger or purchase. The opulent perceptions of the future value generated by the transactionovertake them and misinterpret the true value of the transaction. The effect is too big a premiumcharged by the seller that is not covered if the purchased business fails to deliver good results.The purchase of Corus by Tata reveals both the curse of the winner and the hybris of the topexecutives of Tata, which put numerous deals for Corus' overpayment. Tata's original and finaloffers were drastically different. The Corus acquisition came at the forefront of the Indian steelindustry's expansionary hysteria. Tata declined to return to the Companhia Siderúrgica Nationalin the face of a fierce rival.
Executive Officer B. Muthuraman acknowledged that the agreement was costly but he saw bothbusinesses to benefit. By concentrating on the synergies which two businesses achieved, Tatatried to justify the high estimation of the valuation of the purchase, which would allow Tataaccess to Corus markets and to low-cost stainless steel technology raw materials. The trillions forthe debt to finance the cash trade with Corus, however, sufficed to establish a divergence in thebalance sheet of Tata and proved to be a bane to the firm.After having established the hubris and the curse of the champion that inhibited Tata's decision-making skills, during negotiations the trainer should discuss steps for preventing the same issue.Like Malhotra and Max, Deepak. In its book Negotiating Brilliant, H. Bazerman suggests to takethe following remedial steps:Start the talks with a prepared exit strategy: it is important to have an exit strategy beforegoing into negotiations. As an offeror, payment readiness can be set at a fixed value.When the price rises above this amount throughout the bidding process, the bidder shouldbe firm to withdraw.Assign the advocate to a devil: personal loyalty is a by-product of the bid process. If theofferor is advised by someone who may criticize the validation of the transaction withoutdiscrimination, it can help to make a smarter option. The person who acts as an apostle ofthe devil should have faith, not investment or participation in the production of the initialstrategyPrepare for and foresee the escalators you can meet: A good negotiator should bewatchful enough to see strategic traps. The causes and effects of escalation are defined ascharacteristics that allow the claimant to deter unreasonable behavior during the processand thereby establish a resolve to minimize losses with immediate effect.Ans 2:- The teacher will facilitate an examination for this question by identifying the political ,economic , social, environmental and legal system (PESTEL) and how it influences a businessentity 's efficiency.An company works in an atmosphere that can affect the internal operating dynamics and overallefficiency. External variables like competitiveness, economy and consumers are beyond any
enterprise 's control. Companies must be watchful to ensure healthy economic development andsustainability and closely monitor external influences. An review from PESTEL can allowstudents to understand the effect of external elements on business results.The following points are made in the PESTEL external environment study on Tata Steel EuropePolitical: The EU and Britain have been restrained in their reactions to the subject of theChinese disproportionate domestic imports of steel. Britain has been careful in itsdiplomatic dealings with China with regard to Chinese steel. The British Government hasblocked attempts by the European Union to extend high tariffs to Chinese goods to thedetriment of its own steelmakers. Tatata Steel Europe has suffered, to the level of closure,in the wake of the UK consensus on its own steel sector.Economic: The steel industry was struck harder by the slump because they weredependent on natural substances like coal and iron ore, which saw a decrease in demandand supply in market failure. The United Kingdom was a hit country, with the worstconsequences of the recession being borne by Tata Steel Europe.Social: the production of steel in the UK has declined in European countries since the1960s. European countries experienced a sharper fall in production since the financialcrisis of 2008. But Europe managed to recover its steel industry, while the UK was lesssuccessful. With just 0.1 percent in 2014 and wages similarly adversely impacted, theUnited Kingdom has added to the overall economic production. There has been a majordownturn in the steel sector. It should have signaled a strong negative impact onproduction and employment, but Tata didn't seem to be caring.Tech: Tata's United Kingdom. Steel plants use conventional blast furnaces — now anoutdated technology for steel processing — instead of electrical bowling furnace furnace,which is regarded as a new technology with considerable advantages compared withtraditional blast furnaces. For Tata 's future in the United Kingdom, technologicalupgrade was a big problem. plants of stone. Tata 's Port Talbot plant uses expensivefurnaces in space and investment. They are more carbon-emitting than powered arcfurnaces, making them less attractive in a market like the UK that no longer exports ironore. In the other hand, electric arc furnaces, instead of using iron ore, are cheaper ,quicker and effective for processing scrap metal steel.
Environmental: The Climate Change Act to fix the carbon crisis was introduced byBritish policymakers in 2008. It was in accordance with the rules of the European Unionthat energy-intensive companies had to pay for each unit of carbon emissions generated acertain compulsory number, some of which were branded as 'green tax.' As the worldpraised the United Kingdom. The government has been facing tremendous oppositionfrom domestic industrialists, because of the danger to their income as well as to economicsustainability, to introducing the first legally binding climate change act. The green taxcontributed to the difficulties of the steel sector with energy responsible for 20-40% ofproduction costs. Europe's Tata Steel U.K. This altruistic influence by the governmentbore the brunt of operations.Legal: a significant explanation for Kingdom 's misery. The inability of the UnitedKingdom was steel producers, like Tata Steel Europe. Government to shield its steelindustry from cheap Chinese imports. If the US has lifted its' cold-rolled steel importtariffs from China to 522% from 266%, the EU is rising. Chinese steel provisional tariffsstood at just 16%. Therefore, Tata Steel Europe's UK as an in-house steel maker.Operations experienced a slightly higher energy and pension production expense catalyst.In order to restore damages in many of its production facilities around the United Kingdom, tatashould have withdrew in due course. The boom has not taken place overnight in Chinese steelproduction. In comparison, the outdated technology at work could have been replaced at the portTalbot factory, with over-investments in the UK.Tata was worse off than their European equivalent, which is of strategic importance. The Brexitphenomena has introduced a degree of confusion that Tata will benefit from and consolidate as aleading steel producer.Ans 3:- The instructor will start analyzing this topic by identifying cultural integration principlesand a common vision. In order to increase competitiveness and performance on a short-term basis, acquisitions consistof more than two firms. A long-term growth and performance vision must be established. Fortheir sustainability or growth, businesses seek fusions and acquisitions. They allow businesses toenhance creativity, grow market share and increase stock prices. Fusions and acquisitions
