With the rapid change witnessed by the global economic system represented by the manifestations of globalization, the opening of markets, and so on, the competition has become intense between companies of different sizes and the nature of their activities, which often makes them face a number of existing or potential challenges and problems that may be an obstacle to achieving their goals. Which prompted it to implement merger and acquisition strategies to create a new, more advanced economic entity at the administrative, technical and financial levels. In particular, merger and acquisition are two strategies that help companies and institutions to grow rapidly, increase size, and expand activity, through selling, buying, or dividing similar companies, or combining them to increase their ability to compete in the market, achieve profits, and attract investors.

Merger and acquisition strategies have become a magic solution that brings many benefits to companies as follows:

• Rescue distressed companies threatened with bankruptcy.

• Opening new markets.

• Reducing operational costs, expanding into new markets, and increasing revenues and profits.

• Providing the opportunity to obtain financing from international banking institutions.

• Increase the company’s competitiveness.

• Unite efforts and achieve integration.

• Contribute to improving the level of products and services provided.

• The ability to face economic crises with the least possible losses.

• Providing liquidity to companies and giving them the opportunity to carry out various economic activities that contribute to increasing their competition in the market.

• Achieving diversification in investment and heading to different business fields.

• Gain market share and try to create shareholder value.

There are also other benefits of mergers and acquisitions between entities:

Strengthening the customer base, expanding in new geographical areas, strengthening property rights and improving competitive capabilities...etc.

The importance of merging between companies at the level of the Kuwait market is represented in the ability to compete with international companies in the market, and the need for large and specialized companies in a number of fields, to cover the needs of the giant projects offered by the Emirates. Add to that the geographical location that Kuwait enjoys between the three continents. Its occupation of an important economic position, its openness to the world and its possession of rich economic resources made it easier for it to implement strategies for merging companies and banks and to achieve the highest rates of development and growth at the level of various sectors.

The strategy used in the merger or acquisition process between companies should be clear and carefully studied with good preparation and obtaining all supporting data and information before starting this step, as the merger process between companies does not succeed in many cases due to the lack of strong and clear management and a pre-studied plan or a sound implementation mechanism, as well as the availability of cultural harmony between the entities involved in this process. This is what you can achieve with Kuwait Investment House Group KSC team, which specializes in merger and acquisition services.
