Abstract

The process of merger and / or acquisition of companies is a means by which the business strategy of organizations is realized. They are the result of the desire of entrepreneurs to increase the value of companies. In Ecuador the percentage of concentration operations is low, however, the amount of these economic movements and where they are concentrated is of interest. The hypothesis of this research contemplates that the process of implementing this type of concentration operations in companies can have an impact on their financial indicators and make a significant difference to those companies that have not carried out this type of operations. It is a work in which a deductive and quantitative methodology has been used that was guided by the theoretical and research framework. Therefore, an analysis was proposed between studies given by different authors and the results obtained by companies that have carried out these operations. The research design is non-experimental and its scope correlational. The hypothesis of the present research (Mergers and acquisitions are related to business performance), after implementing a statistical process these operations are related to profitability and leverage indicators, however, there is no significant difference in liquidity and solvency indicators.
