| Abstract Text | This Thesis examines the relationship between abnormal returns resulting from M&As and the success of the acquiring/newly formed firm using the event study methodology, descriptive analysis, and statistical analyses. The framework applies to 134 M&A transactions in the last almost three decades. The Thesis finds evidence for a relationship between abnormal returns and future success only based on descriptive analyses. However, further statistical analysis does not allow for any significant general conclusions. Therefore, a connection must not be inferred based on the analyzed data sample. |
