The Process of Ipo

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) typically refers to a corporate fiscal and strategic set of strategies that deal with the purchasing, selling, and/or combining of different companies or pieces of companies that are able to help grow a company or experience rapid innovation with either creating another business entity or investing research and development from the ground up (Hennepopf, 2009). Modern organizations are so highly complex and competitive that the old paradigm improving efficiency and the bottom line improves, is no longer all it takes to be successful. Companies must continue to reinvent themselves, put Board egos aside and look at the marketplace, their expertise, and what they can do to retain market share. With technology changing so

An initial public offering (IPO) is defined as the first offering of shares by a private company to the public. A share is one of a finite number of equal portions of the capital of a company that entitles the shareholder to a proportion of distributed, non-reinvested profits known as dividends, and to a portion of the value of the company in case of liquidation. Shares can be either voting or non-voting, meaning that the shareholder may have the right to vote on the board of directors and thus the corporate policy (Draho, 2004).

The structure is best qualified for very large companies in an unpredictable and unstable environment, especially if the company’s goal is product innovation. (Gareth R. Jones, 2012)

New products and category innovation define and redefine the computer hardware and software industry and its landscape. Lately, we’ve seen even greater volatility than usual, and it has begun to affect the makeup of hardware and software companies themselves (Casey & Hagen, 2015). The structure some technological companies were built upon is becoming a thing of the past as more strict customers force companies to take upon mergers, acquisitions and/or split ups to achieve the desired financial performance.

How a business succeeds is based on the market, they choose to enter into. Another tool to analyze a company’s market structure, which includes the bargaining power of buyers, bargaining power of suppliers, threat of new competitors’ entering into the market, threat of substitutes and the intensity of competition. Some of the most important work in the development of economic theory is associated with the study market structure. From the perspective of a platform owner, when it owns part of the business on one side of the market, there are no straightforward answer as to whether having the rest of the business owned by another is advantageous or not.

The competitive structure of an industry can be described as either fragmented or consolidated. A consolidated industry consists of few, but large companies. They not only control the market – like that of an oligarchy, but have the capacity to determine industry prices. This is a contrast from a fragmented industry. Fragmented industries consist of numerous small- or medium-sized companies that do not have the power

With high costs in R&D and marketing, there exists a high entry barrier for this market. This environment makes for rivalry in an environment where only the strongest will survive. However, the government regulates the way companies strategically pair, and that is the common standard in this type of industry.

The nature of large corporations has undergone enormous change in the past forty years, affecting both their scope and their structure. More recently, capital market pressures forced every corporation to reassess its portfolio of businesses, level of overhead, and the way it coordinates and controls its multibusiness activities. New forms of corporate organization, such as the LBO partnerships of the eighties, provoked a debate about the efficacy of corporate hierarchies. Perhaps surprisingly, even the smallest single business companies face many of the same issues that challenge their larger brethren. The entrepreneur starting out his or her new enterprise, for example, has to decide on boundaries to the set of activities the company will undertake. Should it manufacture or purchase its inputs?
