Nestle-Rowntree (A)
內容大綱
Nestle SA is the world's largest food company; its acquisition of RowntreePlc in 1988 was, at 2.5 billion British pounds, the largest ever foreign takeover of a British company. This case is the first in a three-part case series positioned before, during, and after the acquisition of Rowntree by Nestle and gives an inside look at a major international acquisition. Includes a note on the world chocolate industry and ends at the point when Nestle must decide whether to launch a hostile bid for Rowntree. Written from Nestle's point of view, it provides the opportunity to consider the benefit of various acquisition possibilities in the industry. Also raises questions as to why Rowntree became a takeover target as well as Nestle's policy of not making hostile takeovers.
