  Investigation Into The Impact Of Merger And Acquisition Activities On Acquiring Companies (2008) Ref: busman0034 The
primary focus of this research study is to investigate the impact of M&A
activities on the shareholders of acquiring companies, by examining M&A
that occurred in the UK Pharmaceutical sector in the period 2002-2006. To date
most of the available knowledge on M&A comes from researches on US markets,
with little research on UK markets. With references to M&A activities in
the pharmaceutical sector, existing empirical literature tend to cluster
exclusively on the US market or European market. This research attempts to
broaden the scope of existing literature by going beyond the US and focusing on
the UK.
