For example Citigroup megrer made it congolomerate resulting in offering more product at lower cost with wider network whereas PNB megrer with NBI made PNB itself sick resulting in eroding networth of the PNB shareholder and customers.Again at same time Big bank may sometime became little less argile resulting in degradation of service.So it depends on how it executed, what kind of synergy is there in megrer and accordingly it will depend on the effect on the consumer.

Brand image damaged

]]> Comment on M&A Maturity Index — Emerging markets for M&A by Scott Moeller http://intelligentmergers.com/2010/12/16/ma-maturity-index-emerging-markets-for-ma/#comment-1065 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 04:16:27 +0000 http://intelligentmergers.com/?p=394#comment-1065 Thanks for asking about when the next edition of the maturity index will be available. We expect to be issuing this annually, so I would hope that we should have this available in late 2011. We don’t think the overall information about country maturity will change too dramatically on a month-by-month basis or even quarterly, although for any one country it could change a lot quite quickly (look at the examples of Greece or Ireland in 2010!). However, the source material we use for this index does not change as quickly … and thus my expectation that we will issue it only annually.
