Abstract


The recent financial crisis has substantially reduced the value of many enterprises; at the same time it provides unique opportunities to expand market for those companies with sufficient capital and great flexibility in managing their business. In China, the trend has been that companies fastened the speed of integration and global deployment, producing frequent news of merger and acquisition. With four years of experience, we look back from economic perspective, summarize and evaluate the performance of Lenovo’s historic acquisition of IBM’s PC business. We believe this study would both be theoretically appealing and realistic practicality.Through the theory of acquisition and integration, as well as its evaluation learned during the MBA study, with special focus on the performance aspect, the thesis will introduce related research areas and illustrate the evaluation methodology. We apply these theories and methodologies to Lenovo’s acquisition of IBM PC case. By analyzing the background, process, current state and external environment of this acquisition, we provide new ideas on analyzing the effectiveness of acquisitions, and use event study methodology and financial target methodology to validate and analyze these effectiveness. Since there are many uncontrollable factors, there has been no methodology to forecast the eventual success of this acquisition. The objective of this thesis is not to find or provide the eventual solution. Instead, it tries to integrate various theories and provide ideas to those companies sponsoring merger and reorganization initiatives.The evaluation of merger and acquisition is a complex process. It requires large amount of information collection, data analyzing, summarizing and implementation during both the beginning and end age of the deal period. Though this thesis is not a comprehensive guide on evaluating the effectiveness of M&A’s. I hope that it could still provide valuable thoughts on moving toward a more robust and effective expansion process for those who are interested in such initiatives.
