Abstract
This paper explains that when Daimler-Benz and Chrysler Corporation announced their merger, much was made of the synergy which would result from the combination of these two automotive giants. However, the results of the merger have been less positive than originally anticipated. The author points out that one of the problems is that the companies came from two different countries and cultures. The author concludes that an integration plan would have helped the organization avoid some of the problems that it has encountered.

From the Paper
"Initially, the goal was to integrate the two companies as quickly as possible, and the company was run with two co-chairmen: Juergen Schrempp (of Daimler) and Robert Eaton (of Chrysler). This co-chairmanship was designed to help allay fears that the company would be undergoing significant shifts in corporate culture immediately. However, the company also established the Automotive Council, which is a panel of executives from the company's three separate automotive divisions. The Automotive Council is responsible for finding ways to combine operations and achieve significant savings from the synergies which are expected to result from the merger. Merger savings of $1.4 billion realized during the first year of the merger are generally attributed to short-term projects."

From the Paper
"Shareholders actually filed a class action suit against DaimlerChrysler in November of 2000, charging them with fraud a massive fraud that surrounded the largest automotive industry transaction in history; the 1998 merger of Daimler-Benz AG and Chrysler Corporation. The complaint seeks to recover damages on behalf of three classes of investors damaged by the alleged fraud: those who bought DaimlerChrysler stock between November 14, 1998 and October 29, 2000; those who received DaimlerChrysler stock in exchange for Chrysler shares as a result of the merger; and those who owned Chrysler stock as of July 20, 1998, the date of the merger vote."

Abstract
In January of 1998, Juergen Schrempp, CEO of Daimler-Benz of Germany, and Bob Eaton, CEO of Chrysler of the U.S. met to discuss the biggest industrial merger ever. Before a successful merger could begin to work, however, the companies encountered several bumps in the road. One of those ?bumps? involved both company executives not budging over which business card style they should have--American or European style. Other ?bumps? included whether or not two CEO?s should hold office, whether or not to call it an ?acquisition? or a ?merger of equals? and whether or not Eaton, president of Chrysler, should leave. This paper focuses on these and many other issues surrounding the merger of Daimler-Benz and Chrysler.
From the Paper
"After the merger, the Germans seemed to have control over the company. Americans wanted the company in the US, but because of German law, this would have been impractical and too expensive, so the new company had to be based in Germany. (Or did it?) This German-registered company is dominated by German managers, while American managers left in droves, or to use a term some people in the company used, defected over to Ford and GM. (Vlasic/Webster) However, Eaton won a premium price for Chrysler shareholders, as well as top Chrysler executives, and as a symbolic win, he persuaded Schrempp to drop the name ?Benz?, to make the new company?s name ?DaimlerChrysler?.

Abstract
This paper discusses the merger of these two large car manufacturers. It looks at the economic situation of each company before the merger, workforce problems, and production issues. It then examines the ways that these problems were either solved or increased with the merger.
From the Paper
"In the 1990?s, in an effort to increase their size and scope, several companies merged. Mergers were created by?combining strengths with, or acquiring establishments that manufactured similar merchandise. Occasionally, acquisitions of companies from different sectors occurred in the interests of diversification. Corporate mergers increased in the nineties due to the booming stock market, which rode the technology wave. Various sectors of industry went through phases of deregulation and market-globalization. With markets getting smaller and more interlinked, many companies chose to acquire companies that they felt would help them expand and/or help gain capital for future expansion."

"In addition to manufacturing automobiles and light trucks, Chrysler also sold defense-related products to the American military. It divested its Gulfstream Aerospace (a manufacturer of corporate jets) in the early 1990s, and in 1997, received more than 96 percent of its revenues and 87 percent of its profits from its automotive sales (Levy, 1998, p. 532). Daimler-Benz, on the other hand, participated not only in the automotive industry, but also in aerospace, defense product and space systems. The company was also a significant participant in the Airbus consortium."

From the Paper
"Introduction
In early 1998, Chrysler Corporation, one of the three leading American automakers, and Daimler-Benz, one of Germany's largest industrial companies (and a leading European car manufacturer), announced a planned merger. Mergers and acquisitions in the 1990s differed from those during the 1980s in that the emphasis had shifted on building stronger organizations in the latter decade while mergers and acquisitions during the 1980s focused on improving short-term profits for the acquiring company. The merger was, in part, the result of participating in a mature industry where expanding profit margins depended on expanding market share, and where globalization played an increasingly important role. The decision for Chrysler and Daimler-Benz to join forces was generally seen by analysts as a positive move for both ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the merger of Chrysler Corporation and Daimler Benz, bringing together two of the largest automotive manufacturers, and also combining two disparate organizational cultures, from two very different geographical regions. The paper further discusses how in order to help facilitate the success of the merger, senior management from both organizations released strategic explanatory and justificatory discourse. The audience for this discourse was both external and internal audiences, including: shareholders, employees and dealers. The primary purpose of this discourse was to overcome the resistance that was being encountered by the merger.

Abstract
This paper studies the ways in which the Daimler Chrysler merger makes both economic and business sense inasmuch as both companies have a history of being internally flexible and willing to try any sort of technique to make a product or an idea work. The writer gives examples of the positive results of the merger and also raises some of the potential pitfalls, such as clashing company cultures.
From the Paper
"However, as Sorge and Phelan observe, the two companies, although in the same industry have fundamental differences apart from the obvious differences in business culture. "Chrysler has creative styling and low development costs. Daimler is an engineering company with high development costs" (Sorge & Phelan, 1998, 46). Even with this disparate core, the merger is an operating merger rather than a financial one. The difference is essentially one of content. Both companies were profitable and could have survived without the deal. However, since this is an operating merger, the combined companies will attempt to operate co-mutually, an attempt that can be hindered by the fact that the corporation will have two headquarters and two CEOs for the first 18 months of operation. The combined company comprises about 180 manufacturing facilities. Fifty of those are located in Germany, 40 are in America and the rest are in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, and Turkey."

Abstract
This paper explains that, if the big three domestic automotive manufacturers---General Motors, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler---wish to continue to be considered the dominant automotive brands in North America, they need to significantly reduce operating expenses related to employee benefits, costs, legacy expenses and related cost premiums. The author points out that they must re-brand themselves as environmentally conscious automotive manufacturers with fuel efficient products, such as hybrid powered vehicles similar to those developed by the Japanese manufacturers. The paper states that, unless the domestic automotive manufacturers undertake these actions, they will face bankruptcy, shattered union and supplier relationships and loss of domestic market share. The paper includes quotations.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Beyond various successes relating to individual vehicles, the big three automotive companies in North America are basically attempting to respond to the strategic success of their foreign competitors; primarily the Japanese big three: Toyota, Honda, and Nissan. While the German luxury brands, Mercedes and BMW are important competitors, they compete largely in the luxury car segment of the overall automotive industry and are not the volume threat that the Japanese companies are."

Abstract
This study, while focusing on mega-mergers, examines the merger and acquisition phenomenon and proposes an explanation for the same. This research evaluates why stakeholders support mergers when the post mortem data suggest that most mergers are failures. Where applicable, the paper points to other industries that have parallel issues to the financial industry but the financial services industry seems to be ahead in the merger mania.

From the Paper
"For various reasons, continuous growth is esteemed a desirable goal by company decision-makers. It seems to be very nearly a universal law that biological life begins to end when an organism's period of growth ends; it's all downhill from there. It follows that continuous growth will ensure a firm's eternal life. In other words, no firm can succumb to countervailing forces if it is always growing. Whether this is actually true is debatable; however, it seems true, and this is what makes it an important motivator for management. Growth itself can be undertaken not only for its own sake (the company should always be growing, no matter what) but also to solve certain business problems."
