Abstract

The success of mergers and acquisitions(M&A) have been evaluated by either measuring ex ante expectations for the specified time period(Window) or assessing long term-based post operating performance (ex post operating performance). In this study, utilizing cumulative abnormal return(CAR) method, M&As which are observed in both domestic and U.S. construction industries were analyzed then research outcomes are compared. Analysis results indicate that stockholders of public construction companies did not realize significant economic gains from M&As. In other words, there was no synergistic gains from the construction M&As. Also, no significant performance difference was observed between related and unrelated diversifications.

기업 인수/합병의 성과에 대한 평가는 인수/합병 발표일 전후 단기간에 걸쳐 실현되는 경제적인 이익을 측정하는 방법과 인수/합병 종료 후의 장기 경영성과를 평가하는 방법으로 대별된다. 본 연구에서는 최근 국내외에서 급증하고 있는 건설분야 인수/합병 중 선정된 샘플을 대상으로 위에서 기술된 전자의 방법을 중심으로 전반적인 성공여부를 분석/평가하였다. 또한 인수/합병이 기업전략의 이행이라는 관점에서 사업다각화 방향에 따른 성과를 비교/분석하였다. 분석결과에 의하면 국내외 건설분야 인수/합병의 단기성과는 다소간의 경제적 이익을 실현한 것으로 평가되었으나 통계분석의 관점에서 성공적이라는 결론을 내리기 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 사업다각화 방향에 따른 성과의 비교에서는 유사부문 및 타 부문으로의 사업다각화 사이에 뚜렷한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다.
