Abstract

The objective of this paper is to study the concept of mergers and acquisitions in the context of modern financial relations. It is an essential process nowadays for the growth and survival of almost all business. If any company is not adopting this way either they will not grow or will be acquired by the other major corporations. In this paper, to conduct a uniform research and arrive at an accurate conclusion why organizations take this innovative mode of expansion, we restrict our research to only Asian companies-Masan and Singha-which work in food and beverage industry. Over and above that, the main focus is on investigating the major issues associated with pre and post merging situations with special emphasis on the improvement of the business well-being and competitive edge.
