  • The Merger Between EADS BEA SYSTEMS
    Research Network on Innovation Réseau de Recherche sur l’Innovation WORKING PAPERS DOCUMENTS DE TRAVAIL N°33 / 2013 MERGERS FAILURE IN THE EUROPEAN DEFENCE TECHNOLOGICAL AND INDUSTRIAL BASE. THE CASE OF EADS / BAE SYSTEMS Pierre BARBAROUX Blandine LAPERCHE 1 MERGERS FAILURE IN THE EUROPEAN DEFENCE TECHNOLOGICAL AND INDUSTRIAL BASE. THE CASE OF EADS / BAE SYSTEMS Pierre BARBAROUX1 Blandine LAPERCHE2 Summary: This paper deals with the project of a merger between BAE systems and EADS, announced in September 2012 and finally cancelled one month later. It investigates the rationale of the merger project and the reasons that explain its collapse. Our first aim is to assess the importance - usually put forward in the literature - of the pre-merger phase in the success or the failure of a merger project. Our second aim is to put forward the specificities of mergers when defence firms are involved. Using a single case study methodology, we show that the economic rationality of the project was based on industrial complementaries, economic synergies and personal motives. We then investigate the many political divergences, specific to the defence industry, that emerged during the pre merger phase. Finally, considering the economic and political stakes, we suggest the merger project appeared as too big to succeed.

Read the text below entitled” The proposed merger of BAE Systems and EADS” and address the ensuing vocabulary and comprehension exercises. The proposed merger of BAE Systems and EADS: Kaputt The collapse of a huge European defence merger leaves both firms damaged THE challenge was always going to be getting the politics right. But when Britain’s BAE Systems, Europe’s biggest defence firm, and EADS, the Franco-German maker of Airbus civil jets and the owner of some smaller defence businesses, announced their intention to merge a month ago, managers of both firms were optimistic. They gushed about the encouragement they had been given by the French, German and British governments. Their optimism was misplaced. The deal died on October 10th, the date set by London’s Takeover Panel for the two companies to declare their intentions. It had hit an immovable object in the shape of Germany’s chancellor, Angela Merkel. That came as a complete surprise to EADS and its German boss, Tom Enders. Few people have more experience or better “fingertips”—his expression—for understanding the politics of Europe’s defence and aerospace industry. A former paratrooper, Mr Enders has moved seamlessly between academia, politics and business.
