Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1.7, University of Strathclyde, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses the potential benefit and strategic importance of an acquisition recommended for ADMECO AG, a small business operation, within the context of MSIE1. Since this is dealt with here briefly and concisely, the issues tackled do not cover the contrast between pre-acquisition motives and post-acquisition behaviour, or the subtle process of sound integration.
