Abstract
Merger and Acquisition (M&A) activities
continue to rise, despite evidence that the majority of
M&A fail to meet the financial and synergistic
expectations of shareholders or employees. Special
emphasis is usually put on the strategic and financial
goals of the transaction. The case of Bayer Schering
Pharma is representative of the same prevailing norms -- -
to develop synergy and annual savings of EUR 700 million
in pharmaceutical business. But for Bayer Schering
Pharma, this success came at a cost of more than 6,000
layoffs.
More than a year into the M&A, the research study
focuses on the uncertainty among the employees. More
specifically, the study has attempted to identify the key
concerns in terms of employee uncertainties during the
M&A process.
