  Sample Class Topic: Horizontal Mergers

Many firms have been involved in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). For example, in 2010, there were over 21,000 merger deals announced globally, with more than USD 1.9 trillion in total volume (China’s 2009 GDP was USD4.985 trillion). A significant growth in M&A in Asia Pacific was also reported. In this sample class, we will focus on horizontal mergers between firms in the same industry or related industries. We will discuss some key motivations for firms to conduct horizontal mergers and, more importantly, how mergers will affect firms’ decisions in future market competition. We will also have some preliminary discussions on the anti-trust (anti-monopoly) law or regulations.
