Diploma Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: sehr gut, University of Münster (Finance Center Münster), language: English, abstract: The recent surge in European cross-border bank mergers and the limited amount of studies investigating the value-consequences of these transactions call for further research. This book assesses the methodologies that are in use to measure M&A success in order to support a rigorous use of these approaches in future analyses. Moreover, the assessment of the bank merger between Italys UniCredit and Germanys Hypovereinsbank exemplifies the accurate application of these tools as well as the usefulness of appraising individual deals within a multi-methodology framework.
