<br/><br/> Waves of Mergers & Acquisition have been a feature of corporate history for more than a century now.  Every  time  there  has  been  an  increase  in  Mergers  &  Acquisition  activity,  two  important  questions have surfaced, i.e., whether is this the right time to do the deal and if so, how can one win and create Value in such a competitive market. Many  companies  have  successfully  restructured  their  businesses  in  the  past  and  they  have  borne  profits  in  proportion  to  the  GDP.  Now  many  of  them  are  ideally  placed  for  the  acquisition  mode.  The key ingredients for creating value & growth  profitability above the cost of capital and large reserves  of  cash,  both  seem  to  have  been  achieved  by  Corporates  in  the  recent  past.  In  2007,  the  worlds  credit  markets  also  increased  the  amount  they  are  willing  to  lend  at  lower  rates  which  in  turn spurs the acquisition growth. Based on above fundamentals, we have analyzed the strategies adopted by Indias Tata Motors over their  acquisition  of  Daewoo  Commercial  Vehicles  in  South  Korea  and  Jaguar  Land  Rover  from  Ford Motors in the United Kingdom.
