Summary |
The primary objective of this thesis was therefore to determine the success of European insurance transactions not only on a short-term basis on market data, but also to analyze the success in the mid-and long-term based on market-oriented performance studies. This cross-sectional analysis is deepened by case studies of insurance transactions, which allow for a detailed analysis of value creation and of the underlying success factors. Only this integrated perspective through a combination of methodologies could answer the question of the actual value creation through M&A transactions in the European insurance industry and derive profound recommendations for action for the insurance practices.
