Unveiling the Key Success Factors in Indian Corporate Takeovers: A Study in the Post-Globalization Era
Abstract
This paper explores what made Indian mergers and acquisitions successful following globalization’s beginning in the early 1990s. The study looks at over 100 corporate examples of acquiring companies from 2010 to 2020. The study examines the match between the strategies, cultures, integration methods and the influence of laws involved in a merger. The study also focuses on what drives corporate takeovers in India and how globalization has affected the relevant laws. It also examines how companies handle new regulations and follow their main business plans. The study also explores other regions to show what makes their mergers different from and similar to those in developed economies. Learning about these things helps plan future business acquisitions and mergers in India.
