Companies that have acquired other enterprises through mergers and acquisitions (M and u0026A) have in essence become entities that are akin to the global and “empires and ” of history. In this book, the author weaves a unique narrative that looks at both empires of business created from M and u0026A and global empires from world history in an attempt to answer the why do certain empires endure for long periods while others collapse in a short space of time. Empires formed from M and u0026A or conquest have a hierarchical relationship of control and domination by a single authority or centre that can be described as a and “parent company and ” or a and “mother country and ” over another group of people based in a periphery that can be described as a and “subsidiary company and ” or and “colony. and ” Given their similarities in development and structure, the author argues from looking at examples of empires in Western and Asian history as well as major M and u0026A cases that long enduring empires created from M and u0026A and global empires have a common cultural trait; their practice of and “tolerance and ” within their organizations societies. While there are books on the topics of M and u0026A and empires, at present there is no single text that examines the impact of culture on both. This book is intended to fill such a void and provide hints and suggestions to those practitioners of M and u0026A as well as students of business and history who want an accessible, non-technical narrative on what makes empires, whether they are of the nation or of M and u0026A endure and prosper.
