Companies that have acquired other enterprises through mergers and
acquisitions (M&A) have in essence become entities that are
akin to the global "empires" of history. In this book, the author
weaves a unique narrative that looks at both empires of business
created from M&A and global empires from world history in an
attempt to answer the question: why do certain empires endure for
long periods while others collapse in a short space of time.
Empires formed from M&A or conquest have a hierarchical
relationship of control and domination by a single authority or
centre that can be described as a "parent company" or a "mother
country" over another group of people based in a periphery that can
be described as a "subsidiary company" or "colony." Given their
similarities in development and structure, the author argues from
looking at examples of empires in Western and Asian history as well
as major M&A cases that long enduring empires created from
M&A and global empires have a common cultural trait; their
practice of "tolerance" within their organizations/societies. While
there are books on the topics of M&A and empires, at present
there is no single text that examines the impact of culture on
both. This book is intended to fill such a void and provide hints
and suggestions to those practitioners of M&A as well as
students of business and history who want an accessible,
non-technical narrative on what makes empires, whether they are of
the nation or of M&A endure and prosper.
