MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS ROLE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE EMPLOYEES AND THE FIRM IN IT SECTOR: A STUDY USING SEM ANALYSIS

Abstract

1.1 Introduction

In India, the concept of mergers and acquisition was initiated by the government bodies. The Indian economic reform since 1991 has opened up a lot of challenges both in the domestic and international spheres. The increased competition in the global market has prompted the Indian companies to go for mergers and acquisitions as an important strategic choice. The trends of mergers and acquisitions in India have changed over the years. The immediate effects of the mergers and acquisitions have also been diverse across the various sectors of the Indian economy. Mergers and Acquisitions have been around for a long time and have experienced waves of popularity during these times and they are very much an important part of today‟s business world. They have also become increasingly international which can be due to the rising global competition.  The popularity of cross border M&A‟s makes it important to look at them from an international perspective.
