Rationale

LITERATURE REVIEW
To attain understanding on the merger and acquisition.
Reynolds and Teerikangas, (2016) said that, merger and acquisition is referred to as the consolidation of two
companies by merging all the assets and liabilities in order to operate as one single company. On the contrary
when company tends to take over other company this is referred to as acquisition. Ahammad and et.al., (2017)
sought to evaluate that, merger and acquisition is beneficial because it helps in generating greater value for the
business. They also get tax gain benefits which in turn leads to revenue enhancement. This is considered to
be one of the cost efficient method where it is very useful in overcoming the current situation. Angwin and
Meadows, (2015) argued that, the major limitation associated with the merger and acquisition is that,
bigger company tends to create greater monopoly in the particular market. It also results in communicating
with the employees of varied culture.

To critically analyse various factors influencing merger and
acquisition of the company.
Zhang and et.al., (2015) sought to determine the fact that, there are several factors which influences merger and
acquisition of the company. Gaining entry into the new market and increase in the market share is considered
to be one of the most crucial factor which drives organization to opt for merger and acquisition. . Garnett,
Mollan and Bentley, (2015) evaluated that, Reduction of degree of risk and improving competitive position
stability is an influencing factor for the company to evaluate the direction value of the company. Getting access
to the new prospective talented customers is considered to be one of the major factor which influences merger
and acquisition. . Sarala and et.al., (2016) argued that, developing defensive position where company is
considered to be in a great position which in turn largely influences the operations of the business. Increasing
the capabilities of the company in order to make a good position in the market is considered to be one of the
most important factor which influences company to carry out merger and acquisition.

To evaluate the challenges faced by the management of the
company due to merger and acquisition.
Reynolds and Teerikangas, (2016) sought to evaluate that, merging employees and culture
of the two companies is considered to be one of the most crucial challenge faced by the
company. Brueller, Carmeli and Markman, (2018) evaluated that, Difficulty in merging the
cultural value, beliefs and attitude of the employees is the major challenge for the
management of the company to carry out merger and acquisition in a systematic and
efficient manner. Garnett, Mollan and Bentley, (2015) argued that, retaining and attracting
prospective and talented employees in the new company is a major challenge for the
management of the business. Missing and meeting financial targets associated with the
revenue is a major issue for the company.
