Pros And Cons Of Aircel Merger

In Airline industry, airline companies prefer mergers and acquisitions to generate profits. Airline merges with those companies internationally, which holds less labour cost to cut the overall cost. A merger between BA and Iberia took place in 2011. BA acquired a 13% of stake in Iberia in 1998 and BA made first bid for Iberia in 2007. Iberia was a wingman for BA. This merger objective was to reduce the labour cost. This merger affected SHRM at BA (Morrell, 2010). BA shareholders get 55% of the new company and Iberia shareholders get 45%.

It is necessary for a firm to expand in order to gain profits or leverage in a market place. One of the ways firms can do this is by executing a merger. There are two types of mergers, horizontal and vertical mergers. There are many incentives for companies to perform either type of merger; however, both types of mergers will always raise suspicion when being executed because they are usually perceived as anticompetitive. In order to prevent an anticompetitive environment, our government established a federal agency called the Federal Trade Commission. Their job is to review the activity of any given firm and decide whether or not to allow them to continue. Presently, CVS and Etna are currently undergoing a vertical merger to gain profits and

The Gram-Leech-Bliley Act allowed this merger to be legal. This act, which revoked the Glass Steagall Act, was the largest achievement for the lobbyists for Wall Street (Repealing Glass-Steagall section, para. 7). This allowed the banks to keep growing and growing so that they were becoming too big to fail. Allowing this merger made it clear to firms that with enough time and money, anything can happen. In the movie Inside Job Willem Buiter states that “why do you have big banks? Well, because banks like monopoly power; because banks like lobbying power; because, banks know that when they’re too big, they will be bailed” (2010). When a single entity has this much power, they will be riskier in their investments which leads to higher short run earnings but destroys the firm in the long run. And with that assurance of being bailed out, they will not care how risky the investments are, just as long as they get their large bonuses. Christine Lagarde brought up this point during Inside Job in saying that “the financial industry is a service industry. It should serve others before it serves itself” (2010). She is insisting that ethics should be one of the first things under consideration. I believe that the paying customers should always be the top priority. Firms usually want to sell their loyal customers a great product, but in this case the firms sold their customers crap investments

American Airlines based on my analysis are above average than their competitors in the airline industry. Overall, the airline is known to be most profitable but also falters compared to their rivals in the industry. Research showed that the airline recently filed for bankruptcy after their merger with US Airways. Even though the merger is a good business aspect it hampered the business revenues. On the other hand, as the company improve the aspects that continues to threaten them, they have a hard time addressing what matters to them most. Customers have been complaining more about American Airlines than any other company with this issue. This may have a big impact on the standing of this company. Customers will then turn their back on the

The newly created firm will have a market share of 27.14% after summing the market of share of 14.5. % for Tigo and 12.6% for Airtel respectively. The combine market shares (27.1%) of the two firms is lesser than that of MTN with market share of 48.5% .Using the market shares reveals that MTN will still have more dominance in the market than the newly created firm from the merger. This provides proof of the fact that the newly created firm would not have much control over the market in using predatory pricing to drive competitors and potential competitors out of the market. The merger should be approve as competition in market will be maintained after the merger.

When the CMA conducts the investigation for mergers they look for SLC, which is the significant lessening of the competition. SLC will occur when the competition between the firms is noticeably lower after the merger than it previously was, (Competition and market authority, 2015) and consequently there will be worse result for the consumers such as higher prices, lower quality of product and lower choices. This is an important concept because according to the key principles of policy, “the sole goal of the policy should be competition”. (HAY, 1993) Every time CMA conducts an investigation they make sure that the competition is not hampered by the merger taking

This memo is in response to your request for an analysis of the economic implications of the potential merger of US Airways Group and the AMR Corporation (parent company of American Airlines), plans for which were announced in February of this year. While US Airways Group is currently operating normally, AMR Corporation is under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection due to a lack of profit, putting it in a precarious business situation.

Manufacturing plants and labor had to be reassigned to better suit the new company’s goals and budget. 3G Capital has been known for its ruthless measures in cost-cutting. Soon after the merger, the company announced that production would be consolidated and as a result, 7 plants would be shut down. This meant that several thousand employees had to be let go. It wasn’t a number that could be ignored by the cities. In turn, states and labor unions tried to strike a deal with the company by offering incentives for

But thorny issues remain, including how to accommodate the strains between consultants and auditors, potential conflicts of interest involving important clients and even the delicate matter of choosing a new name. If the negotiators are not careful, fallout could haunt the combined firm for years to come.) From the time when merger plans were made public Shares of
