Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Companies announcing outward merger and acquisitions (M&As) need to be aware of potential negativity when financial flexibility is high. Under these circumstances, investor confidence can diminish in the wake of assumptions that insufficient capital has been allocated to the venture. But affiliation with a business group signals the presence of appropriate governance structures and serves to alleviate these investor fears and positively impact on both the credibility and short term performance of the M&A.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
