We use semi-analytical modelling of galaxy formation to study the redshift evolution of the galaxy merger fractions and merger rates in ΛCDM and quintessence (QCDM) cosmologies, their dependence on physical parameters such as the environment, the merger timescale, the way major mergers are defined, and the minimum mass of objects taken into account. We find that for a given final halo mass the ...

In our country enterprise merger, people often concern in factors such as consideration fund, debt, fixed assets and so on. The human resources factor considered little.

Surprisingly, given the complexity of the regulators task, there is remarkably little empirical evidence on the effects of mergers to guide regulators. T...

The role of human resources in mergers and acquisitions The role of Human Resources in Merger and Acquisition transactions can have a critical impact on deal outcomes. However, although current rhetoric acknowledges the importance of Human Resources in M&A transactions, insuffi cient evidence exists to suggest that Human Resources directly infl u...

This paper examines how the market structure is likely to evolve in a situation of multi-stage oligopolistic production, and the implications for anti-trust policy. The decision to merge across or within stages of production is treated as endogenous. It is shown that when firms at a particular stage of production are relatively dominant, simultaneous merger decisions are conducive to competitiv...
