Evaluating the effectiveness of mergers and acquisitions for agribusiness companies

Abstract

This research is aimed at improving the efficiency of evaluating mergers and acquisitions for companies in the agro-industrial complex. When evaluating these transactions, it is necessary to take into account their impact on the environment. The paper analyzes the problems associated with the evaluation of these transactions and identifies ways to improve the evaluation methods. The authors ' approach to evaluating acquisitions based on the assessment of changes in the company's potential is intended to improve the accuracy of the assessment and reduce the risks of revaluation of discounted cash flow from acquisitions. Assessment of potential changes as a result of the implementation of integration projects will allow assessing the economic impact of takeover options, taking into account the environmental consequences for the territory. The proposed approach is aimed at more accurate accounting for changes in intellectual capital of the combined company as a result of integration. Rationalization of the evaluation of the effectiveness of acquisitions will allow owners and management of agro-industrial companies to reduce the risks of making ineffective decisions.
