Nowadays mergers and acquisitions market transformed and changed its models of deals and value creation significantly since 1990s and early 2000s when the majority of competent researches have been made. It is time to revise the theory and introduce new prepositions and implications to the world of takeovers.
Besides there is no doubt that there are a great variety of different factors that may influence the possibility of a deal, and the future post-merger performance of the company. One of such factors is the working capital management in the company. There is no secret that managing working capital today is one of the crucial task of the management of the company. Besides the rules of target working capital have been also changed.
Now it is not a surprise to see a very aggressive and steadily negative working capital in the technological company or, on the opposite, still conservative ratios of much higher assets over liabilities for manufacturing companies. But does it influence company’s operations before and after the deal? That is why the reason of this work will be to determine the key features of these indicator and explain the possible reason and potential implications.
The main research goal of the paper is to identify the relationship between working capital structure and after deal company performance. The main research questions to be answered are:
• What are the key performance drivers in M&A transactions?
• What are the main features of working capital and working capital management of the firms?
• What is the relationship between working capital structure and after-deal corporate performance?
• What is the optimal structure of working capital in M&A transactions that maximizes performance of the companies?
The main research objectives to be solved are:
• The main features of working capital and working capital management of the firms;
• Identify the target working capital ratios of companies as a proxy for the further calculations;
• Identify key performance indicators of working capital management for companies to be tracked to assess the relationship between WC management and after-deal performance;
• Develop suggestions on working capital management for companies involved into mergers and acquisitions activities.
The main research implication of this paper will be an established view on how working capital structure influences firms’ performance after the deal. Of course, working capital should not be the only concern of the company trying or already engaging into the mergers and acquisition deals, but this paper will show that companies still have to take a closer look at this indicator.
The main research method of the analysis is the econometrical modelling of the effects between dependent and independent variables. Based on the results of these analysis, relevant conclusion will be stated, and appropriate research implication will be developed. The methodology of the research will be further described in detail in the second chapter of this work.
As the main result of these paper we aim to meet all the research objectives defined previously and answer the above stated research questions. The results of the empirical part should be useful for the company management involved into mergers and acquisitions transactions, as well as for the other side of the deal participants, such investors and creditors. We aim to give a clear outlook on how the working capital management can help to increase performance of the companies in the mergers and acquisitions deals and therefore help all the parties involved in these deals.
The paper consists of the 5 main parts: introduction, three chapters and conclusion. The first chapter covers theoretical background of the working capital management of the firms, as well as clear view on which key indicators this metric and more important how the working capital structure itself influences the company performance. First chapter is also devoted to the identifying key mergers and acquisition resources that help to increase company performance involved, and tries to find out theoretical association between working capital management and M&A performance. In the second chapter we state clear hypotheses to be tested further and define research methodology that will be used to answer the research questions and accept or reject the stated hypotheses. The third chapter is the summary of the empirical data obtained during the analysis. It also includes the research interpretations and gives managerial implications, as well as research limitations and further room for the research. In the conclusion part we summarize all the prior results of the paper and present the conclusions in accordance with those results.
