  • The Effects of Acquisitions on Key External Stakeholders of the Acquired Company?”
    The effects of acquisitions on key external stakeholders of the acquired company. Elizah Bouderij – 10278613 1 | Page ABSTRACT Acquisitions are common in business nowadays. In the media almost daily you hear or read about acquisitions between large companies. But you hear little to nothing about the effects on the external stakeholders of the acquired company, such as suppliers, customers and competitors. Since the focus in the literature is on the acquiring companies and it connected companies it would be interesting to study the effects that acquisitions have on the external stakeholders (the customers and suppliers) of the acquired company. In the literature possible (subjective) effects are described on suppliers and customers. The aim with this paper is to discuss the effects of acquisitions for the key external stakeholders. Do they experience any effects/ changes, and what are these effects/ changes as a result of the acquisition? Based on the obtained data we can classify some effects. In this study these effects are divided into three categories; financial effects, relational effects and positional effects. Suppliers and customers experience both positive and negative effects, such as higher discounts on orders, deals sold out soon and higher price discounts on products. 2 | Page CONTENT 1.
