| Description | The subject of this paper is an analysis of the development of activities at the European as well as the Asian market of mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Causes of mergers and acquisitions and their development mainly in the period after the financial and economic world crisis are examined. A partial study focused on the merger market in the Czech Republic. The analysis results show that numbers of implemented M&A activities in the Asian market had a similar extent as those in the USA in 2005–2011. The motivations for the activities in M&A markets change in dependence on the development tendencies of the world economy, politics, continuing liberalization of investment regimes, and implementation of the internationalization strategy on a large scale. The results of our study confirmed the hypothesis that the main motive was the attainment of microeconomic advantages of the merging entities. |
