ASSESSMENT OF ACCOUNTING LIQUIDITY AND WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES OF FUSING COMPANIES WITHIN THE PERIOD OF ECONOMIC CRISIS BETWEEN 2008 – 2011




Abstract:
Business combinations are a popular strategy for companies expansion. In the modern world, the strategic expansion is not limited by territories of the countries, which leads to cross-border mergers. The share of domestic mergers (companies within one country) is much larger than the cross-border mergers. This paper puts an emphasis on mergers of Polish companies (domestic mergers), which took place in the period of economic slowdown in the years 2008 - 2011. This paper assesses different factors influencing the liquidity of merging companies. Herein, I examine liquidity factors of potential acquirers and target companies, compared to an average Polish company, as well as the impact of working capital management strategy on the cash conversion cycle.
