From the Paper:

"In 1996, more than 10,000 mergers took place. Merging has become a trendy activity but only a few mergers have succeeded. Mergers offer several advantages some of them are to maximize profits, to increase market share, to offer a quick growth, to strengthen market position and to unify sales. Are they guaranteed to succeed? It is difficult to predict and yet companies keep on merging."
