Euro Mergers 1993: Viewpoints and Predictions

Roland Calori and Michael Lubatkin

Chapter 6 in The Management of Corporate Acquisitions, 1994, pp 128-143 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Merger mania is spreading to Europe. ‘Over the next decade Europe is going to experience the kind of intensification of M&A activity that the US went through in the 1980s.1 The origin of this wave can be attributed to a meeting of economists and politicians in 1980 in Brussels, where the mechanisms were established to deregulate the European business environment. The strategic rationale of these economists and politicians was clear: free of the political barriers that had fragmented their markets, many European companies would consolidate their efforts as a means to matching the economic scale advantages of their US and Japanese counterparts.2
