M & A in Pharma Industry, Evidence from India and Italy

Mergers and Acquisitions are the most effective ways of accelerating the growth of companies. Pharmaceutical industries being one of the most dynamic sectors, probably see more merger and acquisition (M&A) activity than any other industry, both in the number of deals and the amount of money spent. No other industry can compare when it comes to M&As; large, game-changing deals continuously and profoundly change the competitive landscape, while smaller yet still significant transactions are an integral part the of operations of pharma companies. Pharma is a very large and complex growing part of the global economy.
