M&A 14
My first hand experience with it 1995 -1997
1995 – Acquired by an US based big company – Parker Hannifin ( 4 Mrd.$)
230 persons – 35 Mio $
Right after acquistion they sent me to 4 day intensive training on
„Finance for non-finance managers“
=> How to handle the attitude „The only fixed cost for the company is the profit“
M&A 15
How well are the US CEOs doing their job ?
M&A 16
What is the magic behind the super performance of US based big companies ?
- Creative and very liberal accounting ?
- European stupidity in taxation ! They pay no tax for their profits in Europe !
In M&A US companies have huge competetive advantages ?
- Radical and without scruple in relocation into low cost countries !
- M&A is Priority 1 methology to develop business ; Inovation is nice to have !
M&A is like drug addiction
Once you start , difficult to stop
M&A 17
Take this picture home with you !!!
In business great numbers/performances sometimes are not what they appear,There is no magic secret and no super power ; only money

I will make the feedback public !See example from my latest München University event
